Contributing to the Pharmacy Portal

[edit]

There are many ways to contribute to wikipedia. I noticed that you are in pharmacy, and there is a pharmacy portal in which you can contribute. Real96 07:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

[edit]

Thanks for your contribution to Transdermal patch. We badly needed an expert on the subject. I am not sure why you are so angry though. :-D --BorgQueen 08:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

[edit]

To WP:PHARM. We need all the expert help we can get—thanks for your contributions so far, and keep up the good work! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Angry?

[edit]

Why, pharmacist, are you angry? Is there anything we can do to help? I agree that many pharmacology- and pharmacy-related articles are full of unsourced cruft that would embarrass anyone with the slightest notion of the field. The psychopharmacology articles, in particular, have been heaped with non-trial based "patient experiences" that - if perpetuated by Wikipedia - could cause personal harm to laypeople reading up on their newly-prescribed pills on the most popular internet encyclopedia.

I warmly applaud your intention to provide better sourcing for alternative remedies. I have long insisted that these remedies have their place in medical articles, provided their popularity can be demonstrated. I'm not ever worried if their efficacy is unproven.

Let me know if you need any further information. Your local medical team hangs around at WP:CLINMED. I also see Fvasconcellos has been in touch with you (above). JFW | T@lk 13:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you really that angry?

WikiProject Pharmacology is currently organizing a new Collaboration of the Week program, designed to bring drug and medication related articles up to featured status. We're currently soliciting nominations and/or voting on nominations for the first WP:RxCOTW, to begin on September 5, 2007. Please stop by the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week page to participate! Thanks! Dr. Cash 17:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aspirin has been selected as this week's Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week! Please help us bring this article up to featured standards during the week. The goal is to nominate this at WP:FAC on September 10, 2007.

Also, please visitWP:RxCOTW to support other articles for the next COTW. Articles that have been nominated thus far include Doxorubicin, Paracetamol (in the lead with 4 support votes so far), Muscle relaxant, Ethanol, and Bufotenin.

In other news:

  • The Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology main page has been updated and overhauled, to make it easier to find things, as well as to highlight other goals and announcements for the project.
  • Fvasconcellos notes that discussion is ongoing regarding the current wording of MEDMOS on including dosage information in drug articles. All input is welcome.

Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology!

  • Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status.
  • Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template {{talkheader}} may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism.

Here are a few updates in the realm of WikiProject Pharmacology:

  • The Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week has been changed to Collaboration of the Month, based on current participation levels. It is also more likely that articles collaborated on for one month are more likely to achieve featured quality than articles worked on for only a week or two.

AfD nomination of Aquaretics

[edit]

I have nominated Aquaretics, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aquaretics. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Sorry man.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

[edit]

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
