Help Needed
[edit]Hello Joyson, I would be gratefull if you would participate with me for building up the page Goa Medical College. And yes I wish to admire you for your work on Froilano de Mello. We can work along on many other Goa-centric pages. Please do respond. Cheers even Im 21! This is my original account to work on non-controversial topics;(Drankush (talk) 06:29, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Ankush, thanks for contacting me. I have done some minor edits to the article and also left some suggestions in the talk page. However, i'm sorry to say that certain time constraints prevent me from accepting your request to collaborate. I spend most of the day managing my father's garage; and even the amount of free time i do have, is mostly spent working on the series of articles i already have in mind; as can be ascertained from the "Sandbox" section of my user page. I will, however, be glad to provide you with feedback, if needed.
- By the way, is the Escola Médica de India in Panjim the same as the Goa Medical College? Last week, i created an article on the physician Francisco Luís Gomes who studied in the college and also served as the institution's Chief Surgeon in 1860. I also previously created articles on the physician José Gerson da Cunha and journalist Luís de Menezes Bragança. Do check them out! :-) Regards, Joyson Noel Holla at me! 11:59, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
- Escola Médica de India (de Goa) was the old name of this college in Portuguese rule, after liberation the Indian Government rather Medical Council of India changed it to Goa Medical College. I have gathered adequate information with verifiable sources, including interviews of some eminent doctors regarding the history, but because I'm in final year of my MBBS, I would be able to come here only on weekends to work. Its really unfortunate to see very few Goans on wikipedia and less of medical students in general. But no offence its due to our hectic studies. Anyways thanks, I will mail you my email in case we can have a nice chat regarding topics of common interests. Thanks for replying and being polite as well. With regards Dr. Ankush BUZZ ME! 13:59, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- I understand how hectic it is. My sister's a gynecologist. Good luck on your finals! You need it. lol. Nice knowing you. Regards, Joyson Noel Holla at me! 14:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 05:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Hey Drankush. I'm dropping you a note because you've been using the Page Curation suite recently - this is just to let you know that we've deployed the final version :). There's some help documentation Wikipedia:Page Curation/Introductionhere that shows off all the features, just in case there are things you're not familiar with. If you find any bugs or have requests for new features, let us know here. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
New medical organization
[edit]I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:36, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 4
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charles Lasègue, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free image File:Goa Medical College Logo.png
[edit]Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:24, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- I have put the image on the page Goa Medical College which was its intended use and a fair and legitimate use as under claim of fair use and as no replacement is available so it follows our policy for non-free media . I was working on my user page for the same article. I have removed the orphaned fair use tag from the image. Thanks for bringing in notice. Take care.

Speedy deletion nomination of Okpay
[edit]Hello and thank you for your explanation about deletion of Okpay page. i'm new on Wikipedia and i rewrited my page for about 20 times, but it's not enough so far... this page is a translation of russian version of Okpay page. Russian text was approved, the only thing that I was asked to do - is to put 2-3 referral links.
I have read all the wiki-articles about e-currencies and tried to create an article similar to the others. I don't want to advertise the company. And I thought, I was able to write a text without advertising, information only. I just want to place the text on this site, because people trust wikipedia and look for information about Okpay company here. We reseive a lot of letters from customers with questions "why there is no information about okpey in Wikipedia". If you or anyone could help me to write an article, relevant to Wikipedia rules, I would be very grateful.

- Kindly read the following information regarding notability for organizations and companies
- The first three lines speaks volumes regarding what you actually want
An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it.
- And still best resource would be to read Wikipedia FAQ for Business and also guidelines regarding spam. See here to learn about Wikipedia manual of style on English Wikipedia. Note that lack of reliable independent sources and writing in point form doesn't make it a good encyclopaedic article and it appears more promotional.
- Note that, making the article again and again after repeated deletions may force admins to delete your user account.
- Lastly please make a new section while commenting on others talk pages.Dr. Ankush BUZZ ME! 14:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Just to let you know...
[edit]Promotional usernames are not considered vandalism. WP:UAA is for "usernames for administrator attention". You're also required to have warned them to allow them to change their username themself - there's a waring template officially for it. However, I'm dealing with the one you just reported - please be advised of the correct process for the future (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:31, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks BWilkins, I didn't know about WP:UAA and while using Twinkle I didn't get option like that so I guess I reported it on the wrong noticeboard. But I did warn the user though not using the template which I found now and will surely look into both the issues you have brought to notice in future. Thank you.⚕ Dr. ANK (。◕‿◕。) 13:25, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Drankush, and thank you for your contributions. I would venture to suggest that it may be a good idea if you could possibly re-read WP:A1 and WP:G11. Thanks again.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Shirt58 for bringing to my notice something that I might have tagged inadvertently with tags not appropriate for them. I will be careful regarding the same in future.⚕ Dr. ANK (。◕‿◕。) 13:29, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
[edit]The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.
- Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
- Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
- If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Medical Translation Newsletter
[edit]
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
- WHO's list of Essential Medicines[1]
- Neglected tropical diseases[2]
- Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
- IEG grant
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
- Wikimania 2014
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
- Integration progress
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
- Swedish
Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May. - Dutch
Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie. - Polish
Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
(This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration - Arabic
The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
- Integration guides
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
