I see you often add content and marking the edit as minor. Note that minor edits are edits which no reasonable editor will dispute. So although your edits are factually correct, it is possible that some editors may regard some of the content as not notable (for example when you site the IRS as a primary source). Many of the disputes on Wikipedia concerns notability. Also see Help:Minor_edit. -- Nic Roets (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia: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 Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia 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. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your comment here is odd, in light of the fact that you have only made two edits to the article per this, and your comment was first contribution to the talk page per this. What is your frustration?Jytdog (talk) 20:00, 29 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

COI statement: I have recovered from this disease, and am a proponent of patient participation (as one might easily conclude from my work on that page still in my sandbox).

Dr. Jerome Reich, who wrote some of the Wikipedia text, is a renowned expert on the topic, and communicates via email. I attempted to mobilize other experts to balance the tone whom I met personally at medical congresses, but it eventually became apparent that both of them had worked under his supremacy and were unwilling to challenge the undisputed master. A third international expert started to support me, but soon decided he had to concentrate on assembling the new clinical guideline and could not take the time to delve into Wikipedia.

My lay understanding had revealed that problems started with a nomenclature issue such that the following two pages ran under inconsistent titles (In the meantime the first link on the first page does go some way towards explaining the confusing terminology).

About MAI, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium-intracellulare_infection

The above citation being a page which is heavy on the relation of the infection to HIV and the “Lady Windermere syndrome” (as promoted on Wikipedia by Jerome Reich, the inventor of the term)

About MAC proper,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium_complex

The above citation being a page which “incorporates public domain material from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document FROM 1993 "Recommendations on Prophylaxis and Therapy for Disseminated Mycobacterium avium Complex for Adults and Adolescents Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus". http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00021272.htm

Problems continue with a “Taxonomy” here ...

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontuberculous_mycobacteria

… that is redundant and poorly collated with this detailed list of “Species”:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium

Hello,

I'm writing to you on behalf of a group of graduate students interested in making edits and improvements to the page that you created on patient participation (PP). Here's a bit about our group. We are a group of four graduate students, and we are completing this edit and update as part of an assignment. Full disclosure, this is concept new to all of us.

I just finished reading the long history of the debate as to whether the PP and shared decision making (SDM) articles should be merged, and if so, under what title. To that end, we would like to clarify, is it still your intent to merge the SDM article with the outdated patient participation (PP) article, as you stated in your Wikipedia Requests page? If so, would you prefer that the PP page be updated independently, as the parent article?

What would happen to the SDM article? Would it be integrated into the PP article and therefore removed, or would the PP article contain a link in the first section to the article on SDM? We would advocate that while these two topics are closely intertwined, they are different, as SMD is one aspect of PP.

Would you approve of our group working to update the PP page so that it complements the SDM article (rather than the current form which may conflict with the SDM). This would allow the two article to co-exist for the time being until SMD is fully integrated into the PP article. Conversely, if you believe there is consensus that the two articles should not continue to exist separately, how would you propose that the two be combined into one article? Any clarification and direction that you can provide would be most helpful, as we would like to start working on this asap.

Here are the links to the respective pages in question: PP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Seniorexpat/sandbox SDM - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Seniorexpat/subpage01

Colin,

You asked:

>does .... the PP article contain a link in the first section to the article on SDM?

In the meantime I have taken that approach. The results are now here,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_participation

Of course, your suggestions for improvement may be submitted there.

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Patient participation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cochrane (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
2. Then click on "templates",
3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
4. If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
