Never heard of this. We weight people in Kg up where I live. We rarely use pounds (just the old people). In the USA I know the nonscientific us pounds and the scientific us Kg. Maybe that is the difference. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apropos of your edit at Richard Watson (singer) I had no idea that "coauthors" was now deprecated. I have put this field in dozens, probably hundreds, of articles. Is there any way of replacing the lot or is it a matter of remembering to change them when next visiting each article? Tangentially, following what I find the prevalent practice in printed references, I prefer the second author to be John Smith, rather than Smith, John. It's not a matter of great importance, and I see the WP:cite book page allows for this. I'll go down that route in future, and am obliged to you for raising the matter. Best wishes, Tim riley (talk) 19:09, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know version, an is used mainly before vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u)[2]. And SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) doesn't begin with one. I think you're wrong here. Alex ^{discussion ★} 23:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. However, S has an "invisible" vowel sound—an "E" at the beginning—so it breaks this rule. Anytime you have two vowel sounds in English you need to punctuate them with a short stop using a consonant, regardless of how it's written. Most cases are words beginning with a, e, i, o, or u, but there are exceptions. Other examples—"an MRI", "an NBA game", "an NGO", "an X-ray", "an SUV"—might be more familiar. It doesn't make sense when looking at the words, only when reading them out loud do you notice.

To quote the same source, [this] might be what you're looking for. They use "an hour" as an example of what I'm talking about. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 00:25, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: A source of confusion here might be regarding acronyms. If you spell out Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, you precede it with a; if you just use the acronym SSRI, you precede it with an. Again, pronunciation is more relevant than spelling. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 00:29, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, awesome user page, by the way. Just thought I'd say. Mine is so cluttered. ~MSY.

This edit of yours left unexpanded {{subst:DATE}} tags to the article for some reason. --hydrox (talk) 17:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching & correcting those. I copyedited by hand, so it wasn't a script that was broken; "subst:[anything]" doesn't work within <ref>...</ref> tags for some reason (a MediaWiki code bug maybe?).

I think I'll write those in full next time... meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 07:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strange.. Seems like a MediaWiki bug. --hydrox (talk) 22:28, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wanted to let you know that I've given you the "template editor" user right, which will allow you to edit pages that have been given "template-editor protection". This won't help with {{Actinium}}, since it's fully protected, but it will enable you to edit many templates that shouldn't be just semiprotected. The user right is quite new and just got consensus a few months ago, so there are lots of templates currently at full protection that need to be downgraded to template-editor protected. In case you wonder — I gave you the right because it's clear that you're making a lot of good edits to templates: it looks like you're exactly the kind of editor for whom this user right was created, since it's meant to ensure that trustworthy people can implement edits to templates instead of having to wait around for editprotected requests to be answered. With this in mind, please continue doing what you have been doing, and if you find a template that's been fully protected because of vulnerability/numerous transclusions, you're welcome to go to RFPP and ask that they be downgraded to template-editor, or removed entirely if they're in a situation like the Actinium template. Nyttend (talk) 03:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome. Frankly speaking, you don't meet the criteria :-) Note that the page explicitly permits admins to use other criteria to decide whether an editor's suitable for the userright, so I didn't break any rules even though you don't meet the criteria. At least right now, I can't think of a situation in which I'd grant the right to someone who's recently gotten a behavioral block (except for an accident, e.g. I blocked you when I meant to block someone else), and I definitely wouldn't grant it to someone who's not editing templates. However, you've made tons of template edits since joining in September, and the main reasons for having this feature are to make it easier for people like you and to reduce the number of {{editprotected}} requests, so I've normally granted the right to people who've made a lot of good template edits. I don't have any qualms about giving it to you; please don't give me reason to start qualming :-) Nyttend (talk) 05:47, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The tag you placed on the CO2 template appears to be causing a speedy deletion tag to appear everywhere that the CO2 in curly braces is used (as shown below). I'm not an experienced template editor (I'm not sure I even have permissions to fix this problem), so I hope that you can resolve this issue. Thank you! James McBride (talk) 22:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just killed the speedy - the number of pages with speedy deletions was going past 600 and climbing. Just drop me a note with want you want doing.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:40, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you! It looks like you did that right before I finished my message here. James McBride (talk) 22:41, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyway, James McBride. Dumb error I made. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do I take it you want {{CO2}} to be swapped with {{Co2}} ?  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I couldn't perform the move with the redirect in the way. I'm considering taking advantage of "Displaytitle" so the nomenclature fits but they remain convenient typing aids without redirects. I didn't realize it had that many transclusions. Hold on then... meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Currently:

• Pages transcluded for {{Co2}}: 176.
• Pages transcluded for {{CO2}}: 522.

People use CO2 more, so I think it should be the main template, with Co2 as a redirect.

Yes, I'd like that move after all. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done There was nothing worth keeping in the redirect history, so I just let the system delete it as I moved it, it has automatically created a new redirect at the old name. It will take a while for Category:Candidates for speedy deletion to get back to normal - any admin now looking at that list will not be able to work out why the pages are there :-)  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 23:08, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'll remember those <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags next time :) Thanks :) meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• This admin has worked out why they were there and I knew immediately what the problem was - it did take a bit longer to work out which edit had caused it - not that it mattered! For future reference: the db-move tag that you applied should have been placed between <noinclude></noinclude> tags not <nowiki></nowiki>. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. That was a typo, by the way. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 00:50, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed on your user page that you say you sometimes feel useless on Wikipedia.

There's no need to feel that way, as there's no such thing as a useless editor.

Just keep doing what you do, and never be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.

By the way..these are for you:

• 
  Apprentice Editor

The first one is something you're automatically entitled to when you sign up on Wikipedia, and the second one you earned due to the amount of time and edits you put in.

Hey, Meteor sandwich yum! I saw your question on the Teahouse and was wondering about it. (In passing, an IP block exemption is what you're looking for, but it's only handed out in very limited circumstances.) Anyway, my question is (and without meaning to pry too much): do you think it'll help to only use TOR some of the time? Even assuming that TOR is a perfect safeguard against surveillance: if you make edits without the protection of TOR, they'll be able to track you based on those unprotected edits, and then they'll be able to link your protected edits to you because they're all associated with the same username. Again, I don't mean to pry, so if this makes you uncomfortable, just say the word and I'll drop it. Your question just got me to thinking, and since it's pretty much off-topic, I didn't want to clutter up the Teahouse question with it. Anyway, cheers! :) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 01:04, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Writ Keeper: Don't mind at all, just will phrase this very openly.

There is a point to using it even occasionally, because in order for me to be traced, a human would have to connect the dots (as most traffic is just recorded on government servers to be analyzed indefinitely later at their leisure). Although it's a security vulnerability to pass traffic both unencrypted and through TOR simultaneously, and for an adversary to notice the traffic in real-time; only using TOR some of the time is not so much a risk (possible, but not probable).

Also, by editing under TOR I help secure others' Internet traffic every time I edit a page (also another reason I want an IPBE). So even if I'm traced, others aren't, and I do good collaterally.

Nice question, though. Got me to think about it! And thanks for the answer. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 02:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Regarding the eponymous article)

I'd be more sympathetic to marking that BLP if he was living, but the article says the author of that book died in 2012. I mostly work at trying to do triage on actual BLPs, which is why I fiddled with the tags. Also, I kinda felt like the one in the Refs section was redundant, but *shrug*.

Mostly I don't think it should show up on lists like this: Wikipedia:Database_reports/Biographies_of_living_people_possibly_eligible_for_deletion --j⚛e decker^talk 19:54, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Decker: You're entirely correct on both accounts. (I didn't even notice he had died!) Your version was more elegant. Redundant tag was accidental. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, meteor sandwich yum... I'm todd adams, the real todd adams, owner of newbys, i bought the company from david newby harsh...

I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off!

i'm the one that was steam rolled by BMI... I'm also the only one in the that has ever won a judgement while fighting BMI... Which BMI didnt like, they in turn sued me again in Federal Court for Copyright Infringement... This went on for a while, we settled because I had no more money to pay lawyers to represent me... I failed miserably representing myself against 4 lawyers from NY, Nashville and locally... I failed in the mediation and was forced to agree to insane terms, in due time i failed to comply with and was ordered to pay even more $$$ to BMI lawyers... All under the veil of secrecy, not to divulge any information to the public!

I spent time yesterday writing the FACTS in my incident! What happened to me, as doing business as Newbys... This was and is what happened in the controversies of Newbys!

I would appreciate if you would put my statements back on the wiki page! Or take the Newbys wiki page off! As there's no reason to tell / post one side of the story! BMI is worse than organized crime, the Mafia! Stealing from the public billions of dollars, not paying to artists their due... as they have no idea what songs are actually played in businesses! the smallest % scales collected from private and public companies are paid to the highest of the level of artists and keeping the majority to line their pockets, buy the most expensive parcels of property, throw lavish parties and retain the best, most expensive lawyers / bribe officials... this and the other license companies have no room for our World! Here in Memphis, TN they threatened to sue the public library per the music they let students and the public listen to, to the tune of over $20K the City was forced to pay BMI or go to court, costing the City even more $$$... One City out of all the Cities in America... $20K is a drop in the bucket they steal / rob / threaten everyone!

BMI most uttered phrase: PAY US OR WE WILL SUE YOU!

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
• We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
• Lastly, why not try and strive to create a good article! Anatomical articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Sorry, we just have this one template. Thanks for your recent edits, they're much appreciated. --LT910001 (talk) 12:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Meteor sandwich yum. I have a question about new article. I didn't understand exactly about wgolf's message with this title "Speedy deletion nomination of Mostafa Amini". This person wrote to me that why my article has been removed. can you tell me what was wrong with me? I guess it's because I wrote nothing about person and just wrote Infobox person. 229amini (talk) 13:31, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @229amini:

The simple answer is yes, you should always start an article by saying what they did and are famous for. A lot of articles are written every day, and to prevent Wikipedia from being crowded with lots of articles that nobody wants to read, we clean them out. Wgolf was only guessing that the person wasn't important enough to belong here. Another thing to prevent them from being deleted is to include a reference of some kind—it doesn't matter if it's messy or something, just a URL you enclose in <ref></ref> tags will be enough to show they matter. The template {{Newpage}} can show you're still actively working on it, and not to delete it.

Sorry you didn't get a chance to finish it. Was Mostafa Amini an important person? Wikipedia judges whether people should be in this encyclopedia or not by Wikipedia:Notability (people).

WP:Anatomy quarterly update (#2)

Previous -- Next

Released: First quarter, 2014

Updated cleanup listing and recent changes list in third quarter, 2014

Editor: LT910001

Hello WP:ANATOMY participant! This is the second quarterly update of goings-on in WP:ANATOMY, documenting the current state of WP:ANATOMY, current projects and items of interest, and any relevant news. I'd greatly value feedback on this, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list

What's new

• New guidelines released for Anatomy articles
• 2 new Featured Images (Facial muscles, Gastric mucosa)
• 3 new GAs: Recurrent laryngeal nerve, Stapes, and Foramen spinosum
• Template for greeting users released
• Popular pages enabled for Anatomy, at last!
• All articles under our scope have been assessed
• A new Anatomy-themed barnstar has been created

What's going on

• An ongoing discussion about how to simplify anatomical terminology
• Five GA nominations, one featured list nomination.
• Our series on Anatomical terminology has expanded to include muscle and bone. Links to these articles have been included on the infoboxes for all muscles and bones.
• We're well on our way to meeting our goals, with 480 of 500 articles to C-class, an increase of almost 200 articles since we started counting 3 months ago

How can I contribute?

• Reword anatomical jargon: jargon is widespread and not helpful to lay readers.
• Contribute on our talk page
• Continue to add sources, content, and improve anatomical articles!
• Replace images with better images from Wikipedia commons, or if there are too many images, remove some low-quality ones

Quarterly focus - Where to edit?

On any given week we have at least 4-10 editors making significant contributions to our articles, with probably more than double this making minor edits. As an editor, I am often wondering: with so many articles, where to start? There is so much to be done (as always, on Wikipedia!), and I aim here to provide a comprehensive list of venues within our project. If I've missed any, please let us know on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page.

An editor might edit:

• By importance. A user can use our assessment table to view articles by their importance and class. The vital articles project provides a list of designated 'Vital articles' for Wikipedia.
• By popularity. One way to edit is to edit the most popular pages -- the majority of these need help, and editing is sure to bring benefit to many users.
• By need. There is always cleanup that needs to be done, whether commenting on mergers, adding infoboxes or adding images. A cleanup list of all tagged articles is now available here: [138]
• By interest. A series of inter-project categories has been developed to help facilitate inter-Wiki and inter-professional collaboration. These categories sort our articles into organs, system, gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and several other categories. This should offer a buffet of articles for any interested editors! See here for more details.
• By topic. Wikipedia's anatomical categories may provide impetus, as may editing a suite of related-articles, using a parent article such as ear for direction. A collection of series are slowly being rolled-out, including one for epithelia and for articles about the gastrointestinal wall, which also act as groups of topics. Templates, as documented on our main page, provide a similar categorisation.
• By demand. Discussions relating to Anatomy are frequent occurrences on the talk pages for WPMED and WP:ANATOMY. Such topics almost always cry out for more editing.
• By recent changes. One way to choose a destination for editing is to check the recent changes, revert vandalism, integrate/source edits, or generally collaborate in improving articles that are receiving contributions from other editors. This can be found in the here.
• By chance. A user is always welcome to improve articles that they randomly 'bump into' by Wiki-surfing or by having bumped for other reasons into a particular article or topic that needs improvement

• This has been transcluded to the talk pages of all active WP:ANATOMY users. To opt-out, leave a message on the talkpage of LT910001 or remove your name from the mailing list

Re this edit: with an A7 deletion, it's best to advise them to approach the deleting admin first (which is usually the best approach in any case). REFUND is mainly intended for uncontroversial PROD and WP:CSD#G13 restorations, rather than for second-guessing admins, and people asking about A7 deletions will normally get referred to the deleting admin, as I have done in this case, so they can start to feel that they are being given the run-around.

Thanks for adopting those. I've just discovered that their author, the long-departed Msikma, made yet another variant of the same idea only four months later: {{sticky}}. Much like the post-it templates, it never saw any real uptake and got forgotten. And then, immediately, {{todo2}} and {{todo3}}. I guess he really, really liked making lists. — Scott • talk 22:57, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only those two? There were nine todo[N] post-its... (possibly from him, don't have access to deleted contribs). Must have been a very organized person, at any rate.

I plan to adopt them all, as I see some areas for improvement; nobody took down the "under construction" notice on {{todo3}}, parameters could be more uniform between them, and a navbox sidebar might help to group them all (if they don't all get merged into a single template with 50 parameters).

Nice to know that my work is appreciated, even if they're not the most popular items. Thanks. Meteor sandwich yum (talk) 02:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It's Redrecks. You left a message about User:71.239.172.110 on my "Talk" page I think it's called?

Anyway the main reason I have come to you, is after reading the message you left, I do understand that some people are a "Bit harsh" and do say something to upset people. Well this User:71.239.172.110 DID get me upset.

I noticed on her page, the many, many people have left messages for her/him/ telling this person that they are not being very nice at all. And that this User is leaving nasty messages left, right and centre. She has also been banned before for being nasty.

I assume she will leave me another message as I have just changed yet another of her spelling mistakes, which is what she had a problem with initially. I was taught that any naming word, such as "Ambassador", "Talk Book", a segment of the show called "Test Shoot", all start with capital letters. as anything lower case is just for everyday words? I corrected her spelling of "talk book", "ambassador" and "test shoot", all naming words, with capitals. This is why she has left such a bitter message.

I have NO trouble what-so-ever if someone changes what I write or do. But leaving such a nasty reason in the Edit and then on my page, is just being spiteful. Other's have changed what I have written, but have been nice to me about it, as I have been nice back to them.

Thank you for leaving your message. I do truly understand and are the last person to ever try and cause a fight.

Your userpage blogging experiment suggests you could use some encouragement and are disillusioned with your work - but your contributions log indicates you are doing great things! Keep up the good work. stillnotelf is invisible 18:57, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Refactoring puts the whole XfD at risk. Is there any WP:base for this action? -DePiep (talk) 19:01, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's called WP:REFACTOR.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  12:57, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is TfD discussions "refactored". Thank you. -DePiep (talk) 19:26, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As you might know, I answered at my talkpage. Nothing against you, I understand you tried to improve the discussions in good faith. But time pressure was essential.

Now, more detail. In TfD discussions, the closing admin has great power in concluding. (I am not an admin). When the closing admin finds something wrong in the process of discussion, he/she can declare the whole TfD discussion procedure wrong (faulty). That means, no argument at all is read, and no changes will follow. This happened to me earlier, so I did want to prevent that (it would mean that four discussions would be concluded "idle" without arguments being read). I have met these situations (an admin closing this way). So I wanted to prevent that.

Your edits shuffled the discussions so heavily, that I could fear such an admin action & conclusion.

The only point I could make against you is this, minor: after I reversed saying "no", you did proceed. -DePiep (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wanted to let you know that Katieh5584's talk page is also semi-protected. So the template you've added is redundant. 123chess456 (talk) 12:33, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@123chess456: Hmm, you're right. I was trying to scare would-be vandals away, but users without an account wouldn't be able to edit anyway. I'll remove the padlock icon(s) then. Meteor sandwich yum (talk) 04:36, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've just added User:Kephir/gadgets/rater.js to Wikipedia:User scripts‎. I tried adding this script to my vector.js to use it, but I get an error TypeError: $(uiBox).draggable is not a function upon visiting a page. Since you added the script, I posted here, but I'll also ping @Kephir: to see what (s)he says.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 03:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dudemanfellabra: Consider that my fault: I was going off on a limb by adding it to list to begin with. The documentation did say "Rater is currently in a somewhat unstable state; it is advisable to check the preview, raw source editor or refresh the talk page to check whether the tool works correctly. Browsers other than Chromium have not been tested."

Sorry about that. I might re-post the bug on Keφr's page, and think I should pull it off the WP:User scripts page as well until the code is debugged. Offhand, looks like it might be a browser incompatibility, but that's only a wild guess. Meteor sandwich yum (talk • contribs) 04:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, re this edit. Your problem at {{Currentlybox}} was that by boldfacing inside the {{Strip whitespace}}, you were hiding the whitespace so that it couldn't be stripped. That is, instead of {{Strip whitespace|x='''{{{1}}}'''}} use '''{{Strip whitespace|x={{{1}}}}}''' so that the boldface happens after the whitespace has been removed. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia ads	file info – #251

Duly noted. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 22:51, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your assessment effort. It looks like there is a problem with the script "Rater" you're using, because it adds the Template:WikiProject Computer science even if it was already present on the talk page. Here is an example of what you get: Talk:Syntactic sugar. It seems that the "Rater" script does not handle this particular WikiProject correctly, so we should fix it or stop using this script for this WikiProject. But I have no idea how to fix this! Cheers.

Quarterly focus - Anatomical terminology

Anatomical terminology is an essential component to all our articles. It is necessary to describe structures accurately and without ambiguity. It can also be extremely confusing and, let's face it, it's likely you too were confused too before you knew what was going on ("It's all Greek to me!" you may have said, fairly accurately).

In the opinion of this editor, it's very important that we try hard to describe anatomy in a way that is both technically accurate and accessible. The majority of our readers are lay readers and will not be fluent in terminology. Anatomy is a thoroughly interesting discipline, but it shouldn't be 'locked away' only to those who are fluent in the lingo – exploring anatomy should not be limited by education, technical-level English fluency, or unfamiliarity with its jargon. Anatomical terminology is one barrier to anatomical literacy.

Here are four ways that we can help improve the readability of our anatomical articles.

1. Substitute. Use words readers are familiar with -- there is no need to use anatomical terminology unless necessary!

   Innervated by

   The nerve that supplies X is...

2. Explain. When using terminology, remember readers will likely not understand what you mean, so consider adding an explanation and providing context. Use wikilinks for terms that a reader may not know.

   "The triceps extends the arm" may not be readily understood. A small addition may help the reader:

   "The triceps extends the arm, straightening it". Consider:

3. Separate. Do not use long, complicated sentences. Don't write discursive, long comparisons unless needed. Start with simple information first, then get progressively more complex. Separate information by paragraph and subsection. Bite-sized information is much more easier to digest for readers who don't have a solid anatomical foundation
4. Eliminate. Not all information is necessary on every article. Hatnotes are a simple and effective way to direct readers to another article. Don't provide long lists of synonyms of names for structures that an article isn't about. If a sentence has been paraphrased to the hilt, consider that several editors are indicating it may need to be simplified.

   "The other branches of the trigeminal nerve are the opthalmic nerve (nervus opthalmicus) and mandibular nerve (nervus mandibularis)"

   "The other branches of the trigeminal nerve are the opthalmic nerve and mandibular nerve" is much more easily digestible

WikiProject Anatomy Newsletter #4

Previous

Released: 1 July, 2015

Editor: Tom (LT)

Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is the fourth update, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. We've had a quiet time over the last half-year or so, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter and will probably release the next one around the end of the year. If you'd like to provide some feedback, if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talkpage or remove your name from the mailing list

What's new

• A related WikiProject is formed, WikiProject Women's health
• Cerebellum, promoted in 2006, receives a long overdue featured article review
• Heart and Glomerulus receive a peer review
• Our article base explodes from about 10,000 to 12,775, with most new articles being redirects.
• Sympathetic nervous system, Autonomic nervous system and Parasympathetic nervous system all receive significant makeover, and cry out for more attention!

What's going on

• Should Vermiform appendix be retitled to its more common name (Appendix)? The discussion continues!
• A large number of "back end" changes are made, and integration with Wikidata continues -- see the focus for more.
• Our set of cranial nerve-related articles receive a review by a subject expert

How can I contribute?

• If you're interested in a topic area, let other editors know by creating a 'drive' in that area
• Continue to reword articles in language lay readers can understand
• Search Wikimedia commons for high-quality coloured images that can be used to replace some of our older, lower quality images.
• Don't forget that anatomy isn't always about gross anatomy! A number of other fields, including articles about embryology and histology ("microanatomy") cry out for attention.

Issue focus - technical changes

This issue was originally going to focus on how far we've come as a project. However, that encouraging news can wait until next issue, as there are simply too many changes going on at the "back end" of our project not to write about. What do I mean by "back end"? I mean changes that are not necessarily visible to readers, but may have a significant impact on the way we edit or on future edits.

Templates

A number of visible changes have been made to our templates. Firstly, the way our templates have been linked together has changed. Previously, this was a small bar with single-letter links. This has been replaced by a light-coloured box contained within all our templates with fully-worded links, which provides links to relevant anatomy and medical templates. This should make life a lot easier, particularly for students and other readers who are struggling with the vastness of anatomical systems and their related diseases and treatments.

As part of this, almost all our templates have been reviewed and cleaned up. The previously confusing colour scheme has been removed and colour standardised. The titles have been simplified. References to "identifiers" in the titles of navigation boxes (such as Gray's Anatomy and Terminologia Anatomica numbers) have been removed. Where possible, the wiki-code of templates has been updated to give a cleaner, more standardised, format that is hopefully more friendly to new editors. The cleanup continues , please feel free to contribute or propose templates which need attention.

Anatomy infobox

Most of our articles have an infobox. Previously, there were 11 separate infoboxes for different fields, such as muscles, nerves and embryology. These have been united so that at the "back end", every template will take formatting directly from the main anatomy infobox -- however at the "front end", there is little difference for readers. This will make future changes much easier -- including adding new fields, formatting, and reordering the contents. Several changes have already been made: infoboxes now link to a relevant anatomical terminology article; contents are now divided into 'Identifiers' and 'Details' headings, making it easier to grasp content for new readers; and new fields have been added, including Greek and UBERON, with several more under discussion.

External links

An editor has reviewed all our template-based external links. These are the links that often fill the "External links" category, and sometimes used as citations. At least thirty different links sets, with the number of links stretching into the thousands, have been fixed, and if not functioning, deleted. A number of non-functioning dead links (with no archived websites available), and one or two others, have been deleted. This helps keep our 'external links' section relevant and functioning for those readers who want extra information about articles.

Wikidata

Perhaps our most important change has been integration with Wikidata. This is because of both its current uses and potential future uses. Wikidata is a service related to Wikipedia focusing on storing information. Data relating to a Wikipedia item (such as a muscle or bone, or even a template) can have related "structured" infomation stored systematically alongside it. For example, a muscle can have information about its embryological origin, nerve supply, and the relevant sections of Terminologica Anatomica (TA) stored alongside it. Much information that was stored within articles on infoboxes is now stored on Wikidata, including the TA, TH, and TE fields. An immediate benefit is that Wikipedias in every language will (as they update their own infoboxes, be able to automatically include this information. New data can be entered in a much easier format, and data can be batch entered by bots making future updates much easier Future uses include data visualisation. I personally am looking forward to the day when a reader can view a wikidata-based "tree", clicking mesoderm and seeing all of the derived structures, then selecting the intermediate mesoderm, then Pronephric duct, mesonephric duct and vas deferens. The possibilities of using Wikidata for data visualisation are really quite encouraging!

Our next issue will focus on how far WikiProject Anatomy has come in the past 2 years.

WP:Anatomy newsletter (#5)

Previous - Next

Released: November 2016

Editor: Tom (LT)

Hello WP:Anatomy participant! This is our fifth newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest. There hasn't been too much worthy of news, and I have less time to dedicate to this project, so I've slowed down the release of this newsletter.

I value feedback, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talk page, or remove your name from the mailing list

What's new

• Adrenal gland, thyroid ima artery, Ear, Heart, Esophagus and Lung are promoted to good article status
• Our previous barnstar has changed to the new shiny "Golden galen" barnstar to celebrate contributions to anatomical articles
• We are featured in the journal Clinical Anatomy [446]

How can I contribute?

• Participate in discussions - a number of discussions such as those on our talk page or about our infobox would benefit from your opinion!
• Continue to add content to our articles
• Collaborate and discuss with other editors - many hands make light work!

Focus - how far we've come

How far have we come since our first newsletter... the answer is quite a lot! Here goes:

• Hundreds to thousands of articles improved and standardised by many, many editors.
• 14 new good articles created or added to our project [447]
• Improved quality of our articles - subjectively and objectively. GAs quadrupled from 5 to 16, B-class articles doubles from 62 to 115, C-class article well on the way to trebling from 219 to 611, Start-class increased from 1,082 to 1,570.
• Tens to hundreds of mergers performed between tiny, unedited articles - a remnant of our Gray's Anatomy (1918) heritage.
• Layout guidelines changed and layout standardised for the majority of our articles
• In the project space:
  • WikiProject Animal Anatomy created
  • 20-30+ new members
  • 200+ new editors welcomed with our new welcome template
  • Interdisciplinary category system to help new editors
• Active integration with wikidata in our infoboxes
• Overhaul of all of our navboxes
• Review and integration of all of our templates
• External link templates reviewed to ensure they all work
• To help improve anatomical literacy:
  • Creation of a suite of five Anatomical terminology articles, and overhaul of existing articles
  • Creation of the {{Anatomy-terms}} template created
  • Links provided in infoboxes
  • Simplifying anatomical terminology essay released

These are substantial improvements and my thanks go out to our many editors who played a part in this. These improvements are almost always the result of consensus, compromise, collaboration and discussion between multiple editors.

I hope we can continue to improve in the future. How can you help? Continue to edit, add content, and create a welcoming atmosphere so that new editors will join us.

Well done to us all, and the many anonymous editors who've helped along the way!

Yours truly, --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

	new good articles since last newsletter include Thyroid, Hypoglossal nerve, Axillary arch, Human brain, Cerebrospinal fluid, Accessory nerve, Gallbladder, and Interventricular foramina (neuroanatomy)
	I write an Introduction to Anatomy on Wikipedia in the Journal of Anatomy [448]
	Vagina receives a lot of attention on its way to good article status.
	We reach two projects goals of 20 good articles, and less than half of our articles as stubs, in July 2017. [449]
	A discussion about two preferred section titles takes place here.

Seeing as we have so many new members, and a constant stream of new editors to our articles, I would like to write in this issue about how our project and articles are arranged.

The main page for WikiProject Anatomy is here. We are a WikiProject, which is a group of editors interested in editing and maintaining anatomy articles. Our editors come from all sorts of disciplines, from academically trained anatomists, students, and lay readers, to experienced Wikipedia editors. Based on previous discussions, members of our project have chosen to focus mainly on human anatomy ([450]), with a separate project for animal anatomy (WP:ANAN). A WikiProject has no specific rights or abilities on Wikipedia, however it does allow a central venue for discussion on different issues where interested editors can be asked to contribute, collaborate, and perhaps reach a consensus.

Project and article structure

Wikipedia has about 5,500,000 articles. Of these, about 20,000 fall under our project, about 5,000 of which are text-containing articles. Articles are manually assigned by editors as relating to our project (many using the rater tool). As well as articles, other Wikipedia pages in our project include, lists, disambiguation pages, and redirects. Our articles are improving over time, and you can have a look at our goals and progress, or last newsletter, to get a better idea about this.

Our articles are structured according to the manual of style, specifically here. The manual of style is a guideline, which "is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply", and prescribes the layout of anatomy articles, most of which follow it.

Our articles are organised in a particular way. Most articles have a infobox in its lead, describing key characteristics about the article. Because we have so many articles, articles are often linked together in different ways. An article tends to focus on the primary topic it is written about. Further information can be linked like this, or piped (like this). We use navboxes, which are the boxes at the bottom of articles providing links to similar topics, as well as hatnotes. Typical hatnotes in articles include {{main}}, {{see also}} and {{further}}. This lets us link to relevant and related articles. The bottom of articles also shows categories, which store groups of related articles.

Tools

For interested editors, our project offers a number of additional tools to help edit our articles. On our main page appears a log of the most edited recent articles. An automatic list of recent changes to all our articles is here. We have a list of the most popular pages (WP:ANAT500). To keep abreast of news and discussions, it is best to monitor our talk page, newsletters, and our article alerts, which automatically lists deletion, good article, featured article, and move proposals. We also have a open tasks page for editors to create lists of tasks that other editors can collaborate with. Articles are also manually assigned to a "discipline", so interested editors in for example, gross anatomy, histology, or embryology can easily locate articles via here.

Our project has all sorts of smaller items that editors may or may not know about, including a barnstar, user box ({{User WPAnatomy}}), welcoming template ({{WPANATOMY welcome}}) and fairly comprehensive listing of templates (here).

Invitation

We are always happy to help out, and I invite new editors, or for those with any questions relating to how to get around the confusing environment that is Wikipedia, to post on our talk page or, for a kind introduction to questions, at the WP:TEAHOUSE.

• Ask questions! Talk with other editors, collaborate - and if you need help, ask!
• Continue to add content (and citations) to our articles
• Collaborate and discuss with other editors - many hands make light work!
• Find a space, task or type of article that you enjoy editing - there are lots of untended niches out there

Thank you, and all the best on your WikiVoyages! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:01, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Diff/1164854837 by User:Neveselbert (mobile) showed up on my watchlist. I think this "Harmonize whitespace" concept is a bad idea. It generates diffs (which I had to spend time examining to make sure it was OK) for no particular value. I'd prefer if people didn't do this. RoySmith (talk) 14:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
