Editing Tools for anyone who wants to use them.

Special gratitude to SandyGeorgia for much, if not most, of what is here. She monitors her Watchlist and does not want or need to be pinged.

SandyGeorgia Editing Tools, etc.

[edit]
  • From User:SandyGeorgia/Editing_tools from SandyGeorgia (depinged on request).
  • Refs go after punctuation (except dashes). User:SandyGeorgia 01:29, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Journal articles do not need accessdates-- the content is not changing. User:SandyGeorgia 01:31, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Do not add a URL to citation parameters unless it is a non-PMC link to free full text; otherwise, the DOI link takes the reader to the same place, and the URL link is redundant. When a URL link is given, readers expect free full text, not behind a paywall. [Note: there is an RFC underway somewhere about whether we should link non-free-full text via the URL parameter, so that might change, depending on outcome of the Request for comment] SandyGeorgia 01:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • When you are using the same citation more than once, you can/should name the ref, and re-use it by the named ref, without duplicating the entire citation. See this example. SandyGeorgia 01:37, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia uses sentence case in section headings, see these edits. SandyGeorgia 01:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia template filling at citation-template-filling.toolforge.org will add DOI, PMCs and everything else, you can just plug a Pubmed Identifier (PMID) in to this tool, hit submit, and then copy paste the test into ref tags for a citation. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:05, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Pubmed Identifier (PMID) Wikipedia template filling is this tool. From: SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:05, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
  • 2{pb}2 is a line return
  • Posting to the talk page of WP:MED is just a way of getting more eyes on a topic than posting at an article talk page.
  • Some pages that may help you are WP:PSTS and WP:RS, in addition to the health specific WP:MEDRS
  • In the example you give, 42 (PJ van der Linden 1996) is PMID 9147102, a secondary review that is a MEDRS-compliant source. Although it is dated (and could be updated), it is not derelict sourcing for that kind of text (see WP:MEDDATE). It is sufficient to cite the text that Sampson first proposed the theory, but citation 56 (JA Sampson 1927 AJP), PMID 19969738, which is Sampson's original paper, is added just as a courtesy (not necessary). Sampson is a primary source, referenced by the secondary source-- both are provided, although only the first is needed.
  • PS, another thing to be aware of is to not guide your Wikipedia editing by things you encounter in articles, because WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
  • A "diff" has this form [https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SandyGeorgia&diff=974224437&oldid=974191382 diff,] & edited. See next line.

Copied from diff, & edited.

  • Impact articles
    • Go to WP:MED
    • Go to the section, Metrics.
    • Click on the 1000 most popular articles, which will take you to this page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Popular pages. It's updated monthly.
    • If you scroll down that page, you find where you can give the most bang for your buck. As an example, polycystic ovary syndrome is the 127th most viewed article in medical content, with about 4,000 daily average views. How does that compare to high-dose estrogen SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
      • At the HDE article, click on the History tab at the top
      • Click on Pageviews
    • You can change the timeframe there, but you can see that for the default setting of 20 days, the daily average pageviews are 21. **You may find it enjoyable to work on the building blocks, the lower-level articles that get few views, and those articles are the best place to learn to edit. But you might add more value to the encyclopedia if you eventually move up, as you are able without engaging COI, to the higher pageview articles that you can find in the 1000 most popular article list.
  • Back on the learning to manage your talk page, should you copy this message to your talk, just leave off my signature, and it won't ping me. Instead, at the top, add the words: Copied from diff, and that attributes me, tells you where you got it should you need to go back, and doesn't ping

[edit]

From User:Colin at Diff regarding User_talk:Memdmarti#Images, User_talk:Tamerseckin, and User_talk:Tamerseckin at Commons.

I'm not a copyright expert -- there are admins on Commons who know more -- and the rules vary from country to country (what might be legal for you in the US might not be for me in the UK). Logos can also be a problem as they are typically copyright too. One like this with the person silhouette would certainly count. It may be possible to upload a logo like that to Wikipedia (not Commons) as a non-free image, provided the article mentions and discusses the logo (i.e. if you can describe what it is supposed to represent, why it was chosen, why those colours, etc). Even a logo of text can be a problem in some countries where the choice of font, layout and colour are enough! Looking at the website, I was struck by this image advertising a video. Now, if the foundation (or the film makers, if they still own copyright) can get that video released with a CC BY-SA licence (not a -NC or -ND variant) then that would be wonderful. You could upload the whole video to Commons and upload that montage image too. By appearing in that video for promotional purposes, you already have the "personality rights" needed so this wouldn't have the problems you mention above about a video with members of the public or children in it. -- Colin Talk 07:55, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
