Revision as of 10:34, 10 February 2008
Shortcut- ]
Welcome to the WikiProject Medicine. This project aims to enable Wikipedians to cooperate, organize, make suggestions and share ideas on the improvement of the medicine and health-related articles of Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to join in this endeavor (regardless of medical qualifications!). The original goal statement said:
- To produce reliable and neutral information on medical conditions, diagnosis and treatment in a readable and standardized format. It aims to deal with these diseases in every context, from molecular biology, symptomatology and diagnosis to therapeutical issues and historical and geopolitical ramifications. To this end, the WikiProject will collaborate with other WikiProjects relating to the health sciences.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on our discussion page (which also serves as the doctor's mess since the WikiProject Clinical medicine merged back into this project). You can also have a look at some related WikiProjects.
Many suggestions and guidelines have been developed since the project began. A particularly useful collection can be found in the Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles), which contains a detailed discussion of issues related to writing medicine articles on Misplaced Pages. However, these are only suggestions: they should help to give us focus, and inspire our contributions, but no one should feel obliged to follow (or even read) them. This WikiProject is not prescriptive. They should not distract anyone wanting to contribute from our main purpose: to write and improve medicine articles!
If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list of participants (no strings attached!), or just look over the How you can help section below. Also of interest is the (featured) Medicine Portal associated with this project.
We hope you enjoy improving Misplaced Pages's medical articles,

How you can help
Collaborate
 | The WikiProject Medicine Collaboration of the Month for January 2025 is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease! Head to its talk page to organize our efforts. Continue to nominate topics for future months at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Month#Nominations. |
 | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |

Other ideas
- Adopt a stub! There are many, many stubby MED articles that have the potential to be excellent articles. Some good categories are Category:Medicine stubs, ... .
- Contribute to a team effort by participating in the Collaboration of the Week, a bi-weekly collaboration to improve medicine articles to featured article status. Everyone from subject-matter experts to normal readers is welcome to do what they can!
- Add references. Correct and reliable references are vital if the articles produced by this project are to be a verifiable source of information for our readers. Adding references is easy with this tool. Just submit the PubMed ID and copy and paste the resulting output (xxxx) into the page between <ref> xxxxx </ref> Alternatively, if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox (2.0+), then Wouterstomp's bookmarklet can automate this step from the PubMed abstract page.
- Join in discussing proposals, so that we can take our ideas off the drawing board and put them into action. Go there, choose a proposal, read it and add your two cents!
- The Medicine Portal always needs to be maintained! If you want to join or find out more, please contact contact the maintainers.
- Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in medicine to contribute to Misplaced Pages.
List of open tasks
If you have a job for the project, please list it here:
| Editor | ||
| User: chyu83 | M.D. | This is among several articles thare are poorly written and have irrelevant and biased information. Please take a look and expand and correct. Chyu83 00:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC) |
| User:Mrzaius | Megalomania | After three years, this article remains little more than a dictionary definition. It has been proposed in the past that the page be rewritten, merged with others, or replaced with the disambiguation page, but nothing's ever come of it. Would someone qualified to make the call please let us know whether or not the megalomania, in the context of psychology, warrants coverage in a full-blown Misplaced Pages article, and, if it does, what sources to draw from to expand it? MrZaius 11:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC) |
| User:Fanra | Micromastia | Requesting comments: Talk:Micromastia#Request for Comment: Micromastia. Dispute over the meaning of the word and also whether the article should mention the controversy about the word. Fanra 17:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC) |
| User:WLU; User:SmithBlue | Pain and nociception | The page doesn't seem to get much traffic, and though it's not a stub, the regular contributors, few that they have been in recent months, seem to have hit their limits. Any help from the project would be most excellent. WLU 12:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
| User: Mgoodyear | Declaration of Helsinki | Long overdue and in the news again since the process of the sixth revision has started. I have made a start on updating and focussing it. It needs integrating into clinical research and medical ethics. --Mgoodyear 21:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC) |
| User:WTGDMan1986 | Diabetes, bulimia, and anorexia | I have a character in one of my fictional stories that suffers from the 3 medical conditions described above. I would like to revert vandalism from all medical condition pages if possible. --DFW 17:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC) |
| User:demantos | AEMT-CC | I have written this article on the AEMT-CC level in NYS. If it needs any updating or additional info, please add to it. Demantos 15:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC) |
| Kyoko | Respiratory disease | I stumbled upon this article which is in bad condition. I hope to do some work on the article, but it really needs a doctor or other medical person to improve it. --Kyoko 13:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC) |
| User:Dontmentionit | Lowenstein-Jensen medium | I have added this article on the LJ medium. Any additions by more experienced users would be appreciated. Dontmentionit (talk) 18:29, 21 December 2007 (UTC) |
| User:Eric Kvaalen | Muscle contraction | A long dispute (see Talk:Muscle contraction#Eccentric, continued in the sections "Eccentric contractions and forces" and "Eccentric redux") concerning the whether the opposing force in an "eccentric contraction" must necessarily be greater than the force exerted by the muscle (at all times, not just initially). Also on a proposed sentence concerning whether less energy is consumed in "eccentric contractions" than in "concentric contractions" for the same amount of force. It may be more appropriate to bring this up with physicists or chemists, rather than medical people! EricK (talk) 16:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC) |
| User:WhatamIdoing | Hypoplasia | This stub looks awful. My first thought was that it was supposed to be a disambiguation page, but it's actually just a list of conditions in which hypoplasia is present. I think that just about any change will be an improvement. I'll make one small improvement tonight; can you make another? WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC) |
| delldot | Concussion | If someone with expertise could vet this for accuracy, it would be most appreciated. I've submitted a peer review, but so far no experts have looked at the article. delldot talk 14:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC) |
| Fainites | Reactive attachment disorder | I am hoping to list this article for FAC. It has just been peer reviewed but I'd be obliged if someone expert could run their eye over it. Thanks. Fainites 07:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC) |
