Welcome to WikiProject Medicine! Here we discuss, collaborate, or debate anything related to medical and health content on Wikipedia. We do this on the discussion page . Everyone is welcome to join in!

While you're at it check out our goals, and ways you can help. Wikipedia is a work in progress and there is always something that can be done. We also have a list of Related WikiProjects, so not all health-related articles fall under our scope, but we still care about its quality so feel free to comment on it as well.

Over the years we've developed guidelines, and our typical article style is described in our manual of style which can be helpful to consult when issues arise. We also strongly abide by reliable medical source guidelines found at WP:MEDRS. Neither of these pages are "laws", but are intended to give, inspire, and organize our contributions. They should never prevent anyone from writing and improving medical articles!

If you would like to help, add yourself to the list of participants (no strings attached!) We hope you enjoy reading and improving Wikipedia's medical articles.

Goals

[edit ]
All top-importance articles at B-class or above: 80.2% complete
80 up-to-date featured articles: 80% complete
300 good articles: 129.7% complete

We want to have a worldwide impact and to give the general public as well as health care professionals information that they can read, appreciate, and respect, free of charge. To help organize our efforts, we are currently working towards these milestones:

Goal 1: Get all top-importance articles at B-class quality or above.
If you feel a C-class article should be bumped up head over and talk to us at WT:MED.

Goal 2: Have 80 up-to-date featured articles

Goal 3: Have 300 good articles.

Our initiatives

[edit ]
  • Partnering with the field of medical education: see UCSF 2014 elective for current pilot course and proof of concept elective that we are supporting.
  • Collaborative publication : Getting medical Wikipedia articles to high quality standard, and subsequently having them published in peer reviewed journals.
  • The Medical Translation Project : an effort to first improve health-related topics in English followed by translation into as many other languages as possible. It's run by WikiProject Medicine together with Translators Without Borders as well as a number of other actors.
  • Wikiversity Journal of Medicine : A sister project initiative to create original articles

How to help

The full list of project participants is located on a separate subpage. Any interested Wikipedia editor is welcome to join this project. If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list.

Taskforces

[edit ]

Our Task forces help organize our medical topics, but these talk pages are not very active. Try discussion at the main talk page first.

Featured and good content

[edit ]

Featured articles are considered to be Wikipedia's very best work; they must pass through a review process as featured article candidates before being selected and being featured on the Main Page. Follow the link above for a showcase of Wikiproject Medicine's finest articles.

Good articles have been evaluated for their quality, but they have not been through the featured article process. For good articles in the biology and medicine category, see Wikipedia:Good articles/Natural sciences § Biology and medicine. For articles tagged by this project, see Category:GA-Class medicine articles.

Awards

[edit ]

Writing good medical articles and trimming poorly cited article content can be hard work! Why not reward someone you have seen do some good work in the area? Any editor may present an award to any person as a reward for and public recognition of good work.
