Request for attention - Christopher Busby

Hi. I noticed your interest in radiology. Perhaps you can help me with the above BLP. See [1]. Even referring this to another, more appropriate, editor would be greatly appreciated. Yakushima (talk) 14:44, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Diberri bookmarklet suggestions

Some perl for pulling out PMID numbers from URLs that may interest.

Some journal publishers (Oxford, PNAS, ...) give useful HTML Meta tags that give the PMID or DOI, that may be easy to retrieve from javascript.

• pmid citation_pmid
• doi citation_doi dc.identifier

(You'd want to check that the dc.identifier begins with 10.)

use strict; use URI; use URI::Split qw(uri_split uri_join); #... sub extract_pmid_from_url($) { my($uri) = URI->new($_[0]); my($sch, $aut, $pth, $qry, $frg) = uri_split($uri); #print $sch, " ", $aut, " ", $pth, "\n"; if (defined($sch) && $sch eq 'http' && defined($aut) && defined($pth)) { if ($aut eq 'www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov') { if (($pth eq '/entrez/query.fcgi' || $pth eq '/sites/entrez') && defined($qry) && $qry =~ m#\b(db=[Pp]ub[Mm]ed&cmd=Retrieve|cmd=Retrieve&db=[Pp]ub[Mm]ed)\b.*&list_uids=(\d+)\b#i) { return $2; } elsif ($pth =~ m|^/[Pp]ub[Mm]ed/(\d+)$|) { my($pmid) = $1; if (!defined($qry) || $qry =~ m#ordinalpos=\d+&itool=EntrezSystem2\.PEntrez\.Pubmed\.Pubmed_ResultsPanel\.Pubmed_(?:RVDocSum|DiscoveryPanel\.|DefaultReportPanel\.Pubmed_RVDocSum)# || $qry eq 'dopt=Abstract' ) { #print $pmid, "\t", $qry, "\t", $pth, "\n"; return $pmid; } print $qry, "\t", $pth, "\n"; } elsif ($pth eq '/sites/entrez' && defined($qry) && $qry =~ m#\b(db=[Pp]ub[Mm]ed)\b.*&uid=(\d+)\b#i) { return $2; } print $qry, "\t", $pth, "\n"; } elsif ($aut eq 'www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov') { #print $qry, "\t", $pth, "\n"; if ($pth eq '/articlerender.fcgi' && defined($qry) && !defined($frg)) { if ($qry =~ m|^tool=pubmed\&pubmedid=(\d+)$|i) { return $1; } } } elsif ($aut eq 'www.biomedcentral.com' && $pth =~ m|^/pubmed/(\d+)$|) { return $1; } elsif ($aut eq 'www.hubmed.org' && $pth eq '/display.cgi' && $qry =~ m|^issn=(\d{7}[0-9xX])\&uids=(\d+)$|) { return $2; } elsif ($aut eq 'medline.cos.com' && $pth eq '/cgi-bin/getRec' && $qry =~ m|^(\d+)$|) { return $1; } #http:// elsif ($aut eq 'lib.bioinfo.pl' && !defined($qry) && $pth =~ m|^/pmid:(\d+)$|) { return $1; } if (($pth eq '/cgi/external_ref' || $pth eq '/external-ref') && $qry =~ m|^access_num=(\d+)\&link_type=PUBMED$|) { return $1; } #print $sch, " ", $aut, " ", $pth, " ", $qry, "\n"; } #print $sch, " ", $aut, " ", $pth, " ", $qry, "\n"; return undef; }

Collaboration of the month

I am a little bit puzzled about how pneumothorax has suddenly become Medical Collaboration of the Month. No vote seems to have taken place on the MCOTM page.

Furthermore, this article is presently on FAC, and there is a real risk that the two processes may interfere with each other. I am due to make changes suggested on the FAC page, and would have difficulty keeping track of the article's progress if it suddenly started undergoing major changes initiated by other editors. JFW | T@lk 20:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I did not mean to interrupt the FAC process, on the contrary, I thought (and think) more eyes would be a good thing. I am confident most editors are sensible enough not to jump in with big changes but help out with fixing the issues raised on the FAC page or give helpful commentary. The collaboration page is indeed stale, so this was more of a first try at reviving it. If you think this was not appropriate or will give too much interference, feel free to revert it back to the old state. --WS (talk) 17:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Wouterstomp,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC) Young June Sah --Yjune.sah (talk) 22:30, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Photograph on Intravenous regional anesthesia

You added an excellent photograph for the IVRA article in May that I thought illustrated the procedure very well. However, I am concerned that the equipment shown, especially the tourniquet device, may be too outdated. Do you perchance have a more updated photo? If not, I'd like to add a note pointing out that this is likely not the equipment one would see today, but I am unsure of how to do so for a picture in an infobox. Thanks.

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages

Dear Author/Wouterstomp

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Asthma. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.Hydra Rain (talk) 17:02, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

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 :)

Removal of stub templates

Hi. My name is Jakob. I contribute mainly to the anatomy project and have a lot of the pages in my watchlist... I have noticed that you have removed a lot of stub templates yesterday (July 11th) from articles such as condyloid process or leukoderma. Firstly, I am very glad to see that somebody is taking the time to look through the stubs in the project to see if any could be bumped up to start class. But when you remove the stub-tags could you perhaps be pressured into also changing the project class on the talkpages? I know it is not cool to ask somebody who is already contributing to do more... especially if it is something specific. But in my opinion it kind of defeat the purpose of removing the stub templates if the articles still are listed as stubs afterwards.

If you are interested and have not stumble upon this feature yet, you can turn on Display an assessment of an article's quality as part of the page header for each article under Gadgets, Appearance in Preferences. That way you can easily see if the article you are removing the stub tag from is listed as stubs on the talkpage or have been bumped up to start. ...I ran through the articles on my watchlist where you removed the stub tags yesterday and I would say there was about 25 % stub and 75 % start. Again, only if you are interested; then this might could save so work.

Fell free to just reply below since I will keep your talkpage on my watchlist for a couple of days at least. Kind regards JakobSteenberg (talk) 09:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jakob, I agree that ideally the quality assessment should be updated as well. Removing the stub template is a quick and easy edit though, also updating the quality is a bit more tedious and time-consuming, and indeed I had noticed before that many were already updated to start-class. Anyway, personally I care more about the appearance of the article itself (without any unnecessary stub and cleanup templates and associated categories) than talk page content and quality ratings, but will see what I can do. That gadget helps a lot, hadn't seen it before, thanks. Also just discovered this: User:Kephir/gadgets/rater, also makes life a lot easier. --WS (talk) 11:12, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Intracranial berry aneurysm merge

Hi WS,

I notice your proposed merge with Intracranial aneurysm and berry aneurysms. I think they should be merged, too. I'm a little inexperienced using Wikipedia. Do we need to wait for further consensus before merging? If not, would you mind if I took the lead on merging the two articles? It'd be good wiki-experience for me, and with any luck I can tidy up the intracranial aneurysm article while I'm at it. LT90001 (talk) 12:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Sure, no problem, please go ahead. You can integrate the content in the article and leave a redirect behind in the merged article. --WS (talk) 12:27, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Chimney sweeps' carcinoma

Greetings Wouterstomp. I entirely agree with your classification of this article but am at a loss to decide a suitable category. It made UK history both as the first industrial disease to be recognized and also the first attempt to legislate against child labour. It was originally classified as low importance domestic items ..i.e. chimney. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards JRPG (talk) 12:12, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure I understand what you mean. It is already categorized as carcinoma and occupational diseases. Or do you mean the wikiproject for the assessment? It definitely falls under medicine, but you can always add another project is it is relevant as well. --WS (talk) 12:21, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that. My main problem is finding the correct categories. I've added category:history of medicine and category:childhood,the first being the most relevant. If you have any better ideas, obviously I'd appreciate it. JRPG (talk) 13:11, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Submasseteric space

Hi, I would just like to respectfully query the loss of WPMED support for the above article. Note that all the pages in the "family" fascial spaces of the head and neck are potential spaces, i.e. they do not exist in health and are only created by dissection of a cadaver, or pathology, e.g. a spreading purulent infection which forces apart tissue layers normally bound together. I therefore originally tagged them with both wikiprojects. Thoughts? Lesion (talk) 12:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
