This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 04:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Article Chronic superficial keratitis tells about cyclosporine treatment as in reference 7 (in article) but it is not named Optimmune (where it is in reference). I would like to add it: does anyone agree? Someone knows more about it? Alfaisanomega (talk) 17:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear veterinary experts: This old Afc submission has quite a bit of information. Should some of it be added to the existing article at Veterinary chiropractic? —Anne Delong (talk) 10:04, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Dear veterinary experts: This article was declined at Afc for having too much technical jargon. It will soon be deleted as a stale draft. Is this a notable topic, and should the article be kept and improved instead? —Anne Delong (talk) 16:25, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I've done a complete rewrite and reformatting of this list, and expanded it to some extent. However, I'm sure there are some or many plants that I've missed, so I would like to put it out there for everyone to look over and add to. I think this would be a nice little featured list for the project, so my only request is that any new entries be cited to reliable sources - I'll even format them for you!

We have some good company here, then. Can we find a horse disease, preferably a bacterium or parasite (African would be great), that also occurs in humans, as a group project, an article to get up to good article status? I can do a virus, also.
Here's some lists from the catgory pages: Horse diseases, Horse parasites.
Fecal egg counts in horses might be fun for all.[2]
I suggest a horse disease/parasite for a group article to see how far we can go with a group of dedicated editors, to attract attention, and because it joins the common interests of a number of us who have expressed interest thus far.
--Kleopatra (talk) 06:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Another interesting thing: According to this page, the single most popular horse article that happens to have a disease focus (we don't have rabies listed at WPEQ because it's a multi-species disease not super-common in horses), is West Nile virus. (#24 on the overall list). (Cellulitis is higher, but for non horse-related reasons, it's a minor deal in the horse world). Montanabw(talk) 00:54, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
All articles have sufficient web and off-line sources. If you don't know the topic, your ability to copyedit in general and arbitrate among good sources and order the article and make wiki style improvements and navigate links and categories and tell context writers what doesn't work or make sense, will be, as usual, necessary to improving the article.
I have not disappeared, however, I'm busy finishing up classes and other work for the next week. I suggest that we work on an article picked by the next voter, and I apologize for posting two of Montanabw's suggestions. I would like to start an official article improvement drive page here, even if only a few editors participate. We might catch more editors that way? I would like to start the drive sometime next weekend, maybe? And run an article for two weeks? --Kleopatra (talk) 01:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Montanabw asks if we should include WikiProject Mammals in related projects. Although the project appears to be less devoted to the domestic side of animals than veterinary medicine is in general, there is quite a bit of cross-over with primary animals kept by humans as pets, the goat, cow, cat, dog articles are all within the scope of the project. Then what about WikiProject Birds? (Not really necessary to add Birds if we add Mammals, but something to think about.)
I would say no, but I think it could be added. There may be FA potential to collaborate on certain domesticate mammal articles. Anyone feel strongly either way? --Kleopatra (talk) 06:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
WP:MCOTW has selected Cancer as January's article. There's currently nothing at all in the article about cancer in animals or veterinary oncology. I'm not sure how many relevant articles exist (I did find cancer in dogs and cancer in cats), but it would be wonderful if someone here would create at least a tiny new section titled something like ==In other animals== at the end of this article.

The article on Hyaluronan mentions the use for equine osteoporosis - so I've added the "WikiProject Veterinary medicine" tag to it's talk page.
I also note that in that article is says about the hyaluronan half life in Rabbits - and that the half life is increased via various different things including sorbitol - which is (according to that article) found in apples. Are there any external reference as to whether feeding sorbitol (in the form of apples?) to horses affects their hyaluronan half life - and whether that therefore slows the degradation of the synovial fluid ??

RadioFan has merged the text from "Tammar sudden death syndrome" (old article) into "Tammar wallaby". I am concerned that this places undue weight about a relatively rare disease in the article "Tammar wallaby". Also, WP:MERGE states:-

At Talk:Veterinary physician, we are at an impasse over whether to move the article back to "Veterinarian" or not. There are two ways to read WP:COMMONALITY, each support one side of the argument, and now the same four people (2 on each side) have been going back and forth on this for a few weeks with no resolution. In essence, because UK English uses other terms (Veterinary surgeon, etc.) for what in the USA is a DVM, we have a dispute over whether to use the more common word "Veterinarian" or a language-neutral term like "Veterinary phyician" (or something akin to it) as was done to resolve the "airplane/aeroplane" naming dispute by naming the article Fixed-wing aircraft. We'd like some more input from those who care before we submit this to the great wide-open-wiki with a move request. Please weigh in, and thanks! Montanabw(talk) 22:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I've just completely rewritten the Blain (animal disease) article, which describes a disease of unknown etiology that was clearly common in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The previous version conflated blain with distemper, apparently solely because of a misunderstanding of the sense of the use of the word "distemper" in the original eighteenth-century source: I've removed all that, and cited both 18th and 19th century sources that identify it as the same as "gloss-anthrax", and a modern source that clarifies that "gloss-anthrax" was not the same as modern-day anthrax, and makes a couple of suggestions as to what it might have been.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone with relevant knowledge could review it. -- The Anome (talk) 12:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

There has been some discussion here about what sources are reliable at Wikipedia as far as peer-review journal articles go for non-human medical content. Typically medical content is restricted to not allowing primary literature, and secondary reviews are the norm. When it comes to veterinary medicine, we can get people pushing unreliable findings from primary literature for WP:POV content, although not as often as in human health. With that in mind, I was asking over at that talkpage if veterinary medicine was included under MEDRS since it appears the guideline was written to cover all medical content and not just human health (or if people just forgot medicine doesn't pertain just to human health when writing it). Essentially I was asking if there really is a distinction to be made between what makes a source reliable here between human medicine and vet med. The only thing I can think of is that we aren't extrapolating from animal to human models, but usually testing on the animal of interest themselves for vet med. Otherwise it seems like all the issues that come up with primary sources are ubiquitous across most of the sciences in general. You can see more at the talk page discussion, but it would be nice to get more people with veterinary research experience or those who just deal with the literature a lot to weigh in on the conversation.

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

I was wondering if Reston virus shouldn't be split up. The initial outbreak is notable on its own, considering the book "The Hot Zone", and all the coverage surrounding the incident, so a 1989 Ebola Reston outbreak article would contain much of what is in the history section, (which would be replaced by a summary), similar to how the Ebola virus (Ebola Zaire) article is built, where the initial discovery outbreak is not part of the article.
There was also the 1996 Ebola Reston outbreak in Alice, Texas; that could support an article.

We need a general article at Cutaneous asthenia, presently redirecting inappropriately to Hereditary equine regional dermal asthenia. The condition affects other animals; e.g., it's one of the three leading causes of reports of "winged" cats, in which loose, damaged tissue hanging off the shoulder can flop as a cat runs and resemble flapping wings There's a relationship between cutaneous asthenia and human Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Some bits of info on CA are at the Winged cat article, but I'm sure we could gather a lot more from veterinary sources, to also cover dogs, and other livestock than horses.
Anyway, this is essentially a split suggestion (not that there is much content to split), so the thread is centralized at the talk page of the article to which Cutaneous asthenia and synonym Dermal asthenia redirect.

WP:WikiProject Veterinary Medicine seems to be almost completely moribund as a wikiproject, though work on articles continues.

Is there any general consensus on word usage in section headings of dog versus canine, or cat versus feline, etc.? (If this discussion has already occurred elsewhere, sorry, & please can you direct me there)? DferDaisy (talk) 02:31, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Well folks, the above merge suggestion has resulted in some new members and energy. So now, what do we do about it? We do have a lot of articles that would benefit from cleanup. Perhaps we need to create some cross-links on the project page and a feed for article alerts. Perhaps some of the WP:MED folks who maintain that project would be willing to help us out here?
I've updated the importance scale based on that at Wiki Project Medicine. This seems to me like a more understandable way of allowing consistent determination of article importance, as the previous instructions have resulted in a rather haphazard categorization. I've put this talk here, in case interested parties are not specifically watching the assessment page. DferDaisy (talk) 03:04, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Both articles state that the term castration refers specifically to testicles and is thus specific to males, though that is incorrect. Castration refers to the surgical removal of organs producing haploid cells, usually performed for the purpose of sterilisation. That means, removing a female's ovaries entirely also is castration. Before I go on changing stuff, I just wanted to check up with everyone to coordinate how to do so. -ImmernochEkelAlfred(Spam me! (or send me serious messages, whatever you like)) 22:19, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
To avoid duplicating details regarding castration in the neutering article, perhaps the paragraph in the neutering article could be reworded along the lines of the text about females:The term "castration" is sometimes also used to refer to the removal of the ovaries in the female.
spaying is usually reserved for female animals
In general, most people use the term castration only for males, even if that is not the exact dictionary definition. DferDaisy (talk) 19:32, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Will also need redirects from Prosthetic testis, Artificial testicle, etc., and plurals. I also posted this to WT:WikiProject Medicine, for the human side of things.
There's a lot of material out there on the human version, as well as the strange and semi-recent market for veterinary ones (predicated mostly on a projective and anthropomorphizing folk belief, especially among dog fanciers, that castrated male pets or livestock may suffer psychological trauma, though it sometimes has to do with maintaining the appearance of show animals).
There might be enough info around for a stand-alone article, but definitely enough for a subsection at Prosthesis. I don't presently have access to HighBeam and the other journal search stuff; forgot to renew that through WP:LIBRARY.

John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ((cite web)), ((cite journal)) and ((doi)).
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to ((WikiProject banner shell)), which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to ((WikiProject banner shell)), and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass ((WPBannerMeta)) a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
There are two articles that have recently been created, both of them poorly sourced, where insight from people with veterinary knowledge would be helpful:
A brief note on either of the talk pages would be greatly appreciated.--TempusTacet (talk) 08:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
