Every now and then, I take on a few tasks that require several days of work. Having apparently exhausted my working memory resources, I've decided to dump my work in progress here, lest I forget what I should be doing tomorrow...

WikiProject Clinical medicine

Though I'm not a physician, I would like to see a vast improvement of the medical topics covered by WP. Jfdwolff introduced the WikiDoc project (now WikiProject Clinical medicine), which aims to do just that. The first stage of work is apparently navigational, and includes that insertion of a "blue box" (via ((medicine))) into medical pages to tie them together.

Similar blue boxes are needed for articles in the basic sciences, anatomy, physiology, etc., so I'll be adding them soon. I'll start with some basic organ systems:

System	MediaWiki page	Wikitext
Human organ systems	Template:Organ systems	((organ systems))
Cardiovascular system	Template:Cardiovascular system	((cardiovascular system))
Digestive system	Template:Digestive system	((digestive system))
Endocrine system	Template:Endocrine system	((endocrine system))
Immune system	Template:Immune system	((immune system))
Integumentary system	Template:Integumentary system	((integumentary system))
Lymphatic system	Template:Lymphatic system	((lymphatic system))
Muscular system	Template:Muscular system	((muscular system))
Nervous system	Template:Nervous system	((nervous system))
Reproductive system	Template:Reproductive system	((reproductive system))
Urinary system	Template:Urinary system	((urinary system))

(If you have particularly strong convictions for or against the addition of these elements, please leave a message for me on my talk page.) These should appear on Wikipedia:MediaWiki custom elements when complete.

On a related note, Fuelbottle has done some great work in creating blue boxes for organs themselves. So now, organs like the pituitary gland get their own article series box footer. Fuelbottle's ASB work can be seen at User:Fuelbottle/footers and User:Fuelbottle/boxtest.

Miscellaneous

Deleted Image:Corpse painting example.jpg (the actual) page, when I should have only deleted the image itself. If this is a problem, list the page on WP:VFU. (01:01, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC))
Requested permission to use image of a Canadian $20 bill with a picture of Moraine Lake on its reverse. Photo is available here. 08:18, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)
