The Real Life Barnstar is yours for inviting Wikimedia UK into your workplace, Cancer Research UK, for a presentation and workshop which has enabled Wikipedia to benefit from you and your colleagues' expertise. MartinPoulter (talk) 21:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC) |
I too am glad to note that your article appears balanced. All too many times here we see users with professional or personal involvement in a subject writing content which struggles to stay neutral, but so far I'm glad to see that some detailed and professional content is being added and I hope everyone remains open to discussion no matter what our backgrounds. Good stuff. S.G.(GH) ping! 11:26, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I just read the BBC article about the work you are doing, and I wanted to extend a warm welcome and thank you for the work you have started. It's important work that you are doing here but sometimes thankless, so I hope that if/when your interactions with other editors becomes frustrating, you don't give up. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 15:53, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

![]() | On 9 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Hallmarks of Cancer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the influential 2000 oncology paper "The Hallmarks of Cancer" identified six features that all cancers have in common? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Rather than just adding links it would be better if you worked to improve the content on Wikipedia. Please see WP:MEDRS for referencing requirements. Also it is best not to use sources you are associated with (ie published). Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Henry, I just expanded The Hallmarks of Cancer. I was surprised to find a WP entry, but those links are useful.
The Cell article is well worth reading. It gives a context to all those individual review articles on the genomics of cancer I've been reading. It was a lot simpler 11 years ago. --Nbauman (talk) 19:20, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Henry. I would fully support the move of the Microtubules and Consciousness section to a new Wikipedia entry. I strongly feel that it does not belong on the Microtubule Wikipedia page. Are you willing to make that move? If not I can, but I am a new entry into the debate (although I have worked on microtubule associated proteins for 7 years). Orangutans (talk)
Hi, noticed too late that you may have something to contribute here, do you have an opinion on Talk:Fulvestrant#NICE ? -- Richiez (talk) 19:58, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Henry. I am currently re-editing "Lung cancer". There is a sentence that states "Unlike other treatments, it is possible to deliver palliative radiotherapy without confirming the histological diagnosis of lung cancer." The sentence (not added by me) currently does not have a reference. I believe that the statement is true, but I am struggling to find a reliable source for this. Can you help? Thanks. Axl ¤ [Talk] 19:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Nucleolus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cells (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi
I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 08:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

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.

The first edition of The Pulse has been released. The Pulse will be a regular newsletter documenting the goings-on at WPMED, including ongoing collaborations, discussions, articles, and each edition will have a special focus. That newsletter is here.
The newsletter has been sent to the talk pages of WP:MED members bearing the ((User WPMed)) template. To opt-out, please leave a message here or simply remove your name from the mailing list. Because this is the first issue, we are still finding out feet. Things like the layout and content may change in subsequent editions. Please let us know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the future, by leaving a message here.

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pancreatic cancer, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Microenvironment and Stroma. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
