Primary Sources

[edit]

Hi,

This article was tagged as "relies excessively on references to primary sources."

But none of the references are primary sources.

Orphan

[edit]

Hi,

This article is not an orphan. There are 42 articles linked to it. I was not able to immediately link them because the article was not active yet. I did it as soon as I was able. Please remove the heading.

Notability

[edit]

Hi,

I strongly disagree that this article is not notable. The fact alone that there are 42 articles linked here is enough to prove that.

How many of those links did you just add today? Possibly all of them? I think that should be mentioned. However, as long as they are relevant to their articles, there's nothing wrong with it. Micler (talk) 20:08, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I added them as soon as I was able. Wikipedia does not allow the links to be immediately added after the page is created. Thanks. Cczollo (talk) 19:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some possible additional references

[edit]

Since this is tagged for relying on primary sources, here are some more sources that might help.

Already referenced but no link:

A bibliography:

Secondary coverage of the Connecticut State Medical Society:

Secondary coverage that mentions the CSMS, but less focus:

Primary but independent:

Interview in a newspaper (so considered primary?):

Thanks very much for these links. Chris Cczollo (talk) 20:12, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I notice both the work on sources and the reapplication of the primary sources tag. I could hope that the retagging could have been given with more helpfulness. I can only guess that the Medical Library (and staff?) and Yale University itself might still be seen as primary, and that may well be true. Be patient, I think you can get there. When I can, rather than removing a tag, I heap citation coals on its head. IveGoneAway (talk) 14:45, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vague citations

[edit]

Hello. I added {{Bad linked references}} and {{Page numbers needed}} templates to this article because some of the citations are so vague as to be useless.

These three:

  • Connecticut State Medical Society (1960). Connecticut medicine. UCSF Library.
  • Connecticut State Medical Society (1992). Connecticut Medicine. Baltimore Digital Archive University of Maryland. New Haven: Connecticut State Medical Society.
  • Connecticut State Medical Society (1993). Connecticut Medicine. Baltimore Digital Archive University of Maryland. New Haven: Connecticut State Medical Society.

are entire bound journal volumes covering a year of publications each. Within each volume are numerous issues of the journal. Within each issue are numerous articles. The volume as a whole is never an appropriate citation. The specific article is needed (and ideally, page number).

This one:

  • "Medicine at Yale, 1810 - 1910" Yale University Online Exhibitions.

is also too vague and lacks even a hyperlink. The first Google hit appears to be offline (dead). I already mentioned, above, what appears to be an archive of this content. You should name and link to a specific article/section within this "exhibition" website. Micler (talk) 19:08, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
