Thanks for the improvements to the page. However, I did revert the spelling of "organisations" to the South African version, as per the template EngvarB. Wyatt Tyrone Smith (talk) 13:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- Glad you caught that, I didn't even think about the different spellings. Waughd (talk) 20:08, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata
About this: That only benefits people at the English Wikipedia. By contrast, if you put the same words at the top of the Wikidata entry (d:Q3123079; the link is in the sidebar near the end of the "Tools" list), then it will be visible to people outside of Wikipedia, and at the non-English Wikipedias. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:52, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, so I should made the edit in wikidata and then use the import "short description" using the "short description gadget"? I was trying to follow These instructions but it's hard to know what they are even trying to convey. Waughd (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
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, here are a few relevant things:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject 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!
- We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.
Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! Tom (LT) (talk) 11:18, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Histology, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Acrylic (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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:47, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
For your work on histology articles
SpicyMilkBoy has given you a kitten! Kittens promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Your kitten must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a kitten, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.
Spread the goodness of kittens by adding {{subst:Kitten}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message, or kittynap their kitten with {{subst:Kittynap}}
I noticed that you've been doing some great work on histology related articles. Thanks! SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 21:11, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks @SpicyMilkBoy:, your draft on Critical green inclusions got me thinking about blood stains. I will work a little more on the Romanowsky stain page, but you would be much better on the currently used formulations. Waughd (talk) 21:26, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Wikiproject Anatomy newsletter #7
Released September 2020 · Previous newsletter
Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is our seventh newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest.
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.
Yours truly, --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:24, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
What's new
 |
new good articles since last newsletter include Epiglottis, Human nose, Pancreas, Prostate, Thymus, Trachea, T tubule, Ureter and Vagina, with Anatomical terms of location also awaiting review |
 |
A made-up eponymous term is used in our article that eventually makes it in to university anatomy teaching slides and a journal article |
 |
We reach a project goal of 150 B-class articles in July 2020, increasing by about 50% over five years, and are one good article away from our goal of 40 GAs, doubling over the last five years |
 |
In the real world, Terminologia Anatomica 2 and Terminologia Embryologica 2 are released ([2], [3]). Terminologia Anatomica 2 is now included in anatomy article infoboxes, and there is ongoing discussion about updating TE as well |
 |
A beautiful new barnstar is released ({{subst:The Anatomist Barnstar}}) |
 |
Portal:Anatomy receives some attention, and two related portals are deleted (vale Human body and Cranial nerve portals) |
 |
Some things left out from past newsletters - A large amount of redirects are created to help link plural structures, and Cerebellum ([4]) and Hippocampus ([5]) are published in Wikiversity. |
Newsletter topic: anatomy and featured articles
I have been asked to write up something introducing the Featured article (FA) process to anatomy editors, but I took a more general approach to explaining why one might want to contribute featured content and the benefits to the editor and to Wikipedia. I also tried to address some misconceptions about the FA process, and give you a guide that is somewhat specific to health content should you decide to take the dive.
A vital purpose of Featured articles is to serve as examples for new and aspiring Wikipedia editors. FAs are often uniquely comprehensive for the Internet. They showcase some of our best articles, and can enhance Wikipedia's reputation if they are maintained to standard—but in an "anyone can edit" environment, they can easily fall out of standard if not maintained. Benefits to the writer include developing collaborative partnerships and learning new skills, while improving your writing and seeing it exposed to a broader audience—all that Wikipedia is about!
Looking more specifically at WP Anatomy's featured content, the Featured media is impressive and seems to be an Anatomy Project strength. The Anatomy WikiProject has tagged 4 FAs, 1 Featured list, and 30 Featured media. Working towards upgrading and maintaining older Featured articles could be a worthwhile goal. Immune system is a 2007 FA promotion, and bringing it up to date would make a nice collaboration between WikiProject Medicine and the Anatomy WikiProject. Hippocampus is another dated promotion that is almost 50% larger than when promoted, having taken on a bit of uncited text and new text that might benefit from a tune-up.
Whether tuning up an older FA at Featured article review, or attempting a new one to be reviewed at Featured article candidates, taking the plunge can be rewarding, and I hope the advice in my essay is helpful.
You can read the essay "Achieving excellence through featured content" here.
SandyGeorgia has been a regular FA reviewer at FAC and FAR since 2006, and has participated in thousands of nominations
