Active?
Hi all, How active is this project? Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:10, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- Pbsouthwood not very active, as you may have noticed --Tom (LT) (talk) 06:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- So I see. I edit mostly underwater diving articles. I wondered if I should tag the diving physiology articles for this project. My guess is that no-one will notice except me, but it is possible that things may change. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 10:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Assigning my undergrad class to improve Physiology wikipedia pages; Need help
Hi!,
I teach Human Physiology to juniors and seniors. The students are mostly pre-meds. I am starting an assignment where I would have groups of students working together to improve WikiProject Physiology articles. I looked at the article list and have chosen Start level articles of mid to high level importance. I will have the students go over good examples of wikipedia pages and then the articles I would like them to work on. Are there any things I need to know at the outset? This is the first time I am doing this project and I have to learn as I go but I am excited to learn something new. I was told that the students do not need any knowledge of coding. Thanks for all your help. --Ushasankar (talk) 04:29, 16 January 2017 (UTC) Ushasankar (talk) 04:29, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Ushasankar: Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you very much for being conscientious and asking these questions. I recommend that you read WP:Student assignments, and you may want to have your students read the section addressed to students. Also, if you have not so already, please post at WP:Education noticeboard, and ask for a staff person from the WMF to set you up with a class page and related matters, and to serve as an advisor to you and your class. Also, feel free to ask me at User talk:Tryptofish, if you have any questions for me. Happy editing! --Tryptofish (talk) 23:46, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
WikiJournal of Medicine promotion
|
The WikiJournal of Medicine is a free, peer reviewed academic journal which aims to provide a new mechanism for ensuring the accuracy of Wikipedia's biomedical content. We started it as a way of bridging the Wikipedia-academia gap.[1] It is also part of a WikiJournal User Group with other WikiJournals under development.[2] The journal is still starting out and not yet well known, so we are advertising ourselves to WikiProjects that might be interested. |
Engaging Wikipedians
- Original articles on topics that don't yet have a Wikipedia page, or only a stub/start
- Wikipedia articles that you are willing to see through external peer review (either solo or as in a group, process analogous to GA / FA review)
- Image articles, based around an important medical image or summary diagram
Engaging non-Wikipedians
We hope that an academic journal format may also encourage non-Wikipedians to contribute who would otherwise not. Therefore, please consider:
- Printing off the advertisement poster and distribute in tearooms & noticeboards at your place of work
- Emailing around the pdf through contact networks or mailing lists (suggested wording)
If you want to know more, we recently published an editorial describing how the journal developed.[3] Alternatively, check out the journal's About or Discussion pages.

Additionally, the WikiJournal of Science is just starting up under a similar model and looking for contributors. Firstly it is seeking editors to guide submissions through external academic peer review and format accepted articles. It is also encouraging submission of articles in the same format as Wiki.J.Med. If you're interested, please come and discuss the project on the journal's talk page, or the general discussion page for the WikiJournal User group.

Proposed move of Mammalian diving reflex
A rename to either Diving reflex or Diving response has been proposed. Discuss. Cheers, • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
