Feel free to contact me if you need help with creating articles or with specific wiki coding issues. - Mgm| (talk) 12:07, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I have answered you in the TBI page: Your help is most welcomed. However since I see you are a new user you my find useful the following guidelines on writting medical articles at wikipedia: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles) and Wikipedia:Reliable sources (medicine-related articles). If you have any doubts feel free to ask me or any other at the medicine project. Best regards and happy editing.-- Garrondo ( talk) 12:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to WikiProject Medicine!
I noticed you recently added yourself to our Participants' list, and I wanted to welcome you to our project. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration on medicine-related articles, and everyone is welcome to join (regardless of medical qualifications!). Here are some suggested activities:
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, or feel free to ask me on my talk page.
Again, welcome! -- Steven Fruitsmaak ( Reply) 15:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I answered your question on my talk page (hopefully). I'm excited to be working with you, definitely let me know if you need anything! Peace, delldot ∇. 14:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Basie,
I'd be happy if you were able to bring some life back into WikiProject Nursing. I have a suggestion: Small WikiProjects (and task forces) live or die according to their perceived activity level. If you want WP Nursing to thrive, then keeping up a reasonable level of chatter on its talk page will help. It doesn't have to be a lot; just one note every now and again is probably sufficient. Just posting the name of the article you're working on, asking a question about something that a lurker might know (e.g., licensing requirements in another country or a Wikipedia technical question), or wishing people a happy Nurse Appreciation Week, or whatever you feel like, will work. Be sure to respond to any questions that are asked. You just want to give people a sense that someone is home, and that she's friendly.
If you're the only active member for a long while, I realize that this might seem like a long slog, but I think it's your best chance at keeping the project in people's minds. Good luck, WhatamIdoing ( talk) 03:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with WPMED's notability problem! Are you familiar with the proposed deletion process? It's faster and simpler than AfD if there are no objections to an article being deleted. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 03:32, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for offering to help! There's quite a lot of material in Arterial blood gas sampling and I'm glad to have another pair of eyes to make sure I catch everything that should be merged. Here's what I found to be the useful pieces of that article, broken down by section:
Do you agree with those choices and is there anything else from Arterial blood gas sampling you think is useful? I really appreciate your feedback! : twirligig Leave one! ⋄ Check me out! 02:02, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to say thanks to both of you for boldly dealing with the how-to mess at Aterial blood gas sampling. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 21:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
No worries. It really wasn't a gaffe at all - the Irish constitution calls the state Ireland, so the original title was not wrong, but I just thought that the new title made it a little bit clearer that it wasn't talking about the whole island. Jll ( talk) 12:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Exceptional newcomer.jpg moved to user page. Well, thank you very much! That was unexpected. Everyone's been very welcoming, seems like a good community in the health sciences areas. Cheers, Basie ( talk) 23:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

This article is very incomplete and does not address the issues. In addition it makes comments that are either untrue or woefully biased e.g foreign recruiting Craig Clayton ( talk) 00:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

There's a script that reduces some of the repetitive stress aspects of WikiProject assessments. It's a bit complicated, so send me e-mail if you're interested in hearing more about it. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 01:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello Not to be stickler in your side, I appreciate the work you are doing overall, but I am feel worried about your speed in redirecting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Maryland_School_of_Nursing_Living_History_Museum so quickly. Would you be willing to slowdown a bit ? Peace, rkmlai ( talk) 01:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I have put a comment on the discussion page of the article. Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. I have been only an occasional editor recently. -- Vince ( talk) 10:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Bassie, I am looking at this article and have added an idea on the talk page to enlarge it's scope to 'Caregiving and degenerative conditions', but had no responses yet. I see you have graded it as low importance, but believe it may warrant a higher importance - the transition from family care to part-time care to full care is one of high stress for family and carers alike, but then again I don't know how the nursing articles are categorized. I would welcome your opinion on the article title / scope, many thanks L∴V 23:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Basie,
Just wanted to say that I miss seeing you about. I hope all's well with you. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 01:43, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

The first edition of The Pulse has been released. The Pulse will be a regular newsletter documenting the goings-on at WPMED, including ongoing collaborations, discussions, articles, and each edition will have a special focus. That newsletter is here.
The newsletter has been sent to the talk pages of WP:MED members bearing the {{ User WPMed}} template. To opt-out, please leave a message here or simply remove your name from the mailing list. Because this is the first issue, we are still finding out feet. Things like the layout and content may change in subsequent editions. Please let us know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the future, by leaving a message here.

This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.
note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you * sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject MedicineSpotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
I've ( CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as
Dutch,
Polish, and
Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not
MEDRS (
Polish,
German,
Romanian,
Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [3]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arab Health, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conference. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you Basie, for your editorial suggestions, support, and contribution to my students' learning in NUSC1P10. I really appreciate it and I've heard that the students were really pleased to have someone outside the course comment on their work. -- LynnMcCleary ( talk) 23:08, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
Describing it as an anachronism is a bit strong. It's still the normal title for a female charge nurse in British hospitals, for instance. To the extent that most people would still describe a charge nurse as a "male sister"! I've restored the categories. Just because you obviously don't like the term doesn't mean it's not relevant. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:56, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Basie!
I wrote my article about Marina Tchebourkina on Wikipedia after having written one for Moscow Conservatory. I thougt that I could use my own work. I posted a note about copyright on the Talk:Marina Tchebourkina and sent an e-mail to permissions-en at wikimedia. I haven't had any news.
So, on November 20, I wrote an other article about Marina Tchebourkina on the Talk:Marina Tchebourkina/Temp. I would like to know if it possible to edit now this new page as a principal page of Marina Tchebourkina. Thank you. Best regards.

I am still working on this article for a college course assignment. What do think needs to be done to get it assessed at the next highest level?
Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
Hi Basie! I would like to ask you for some advice. Recently, I have contributed for the page Natives (Éditions), but it was deleted a few days ago. Maybe, Natives Éditions is not a huge company, but it is a very serious publisher and a really original music label. Do you think it is possible to do something in order to restore this page? The link is here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Natives_(Éditions)

"conspiracy theorists have fraudulently attempted to exploit the quotation 'as evidence she led a calculated effort to reduce the black population against their will'" is WP:NPOV?

Hello. I've looked over the reliable sources page linked in your review and all of this Peter Mahon's work seems to fit the bill: peer-reviewed academic publications (books and papers) on a variety of subjects, all of which can be found in the reliable third-party databases: Google Scholar, Project Muse, etc., etc.
I'm not sure what else is required.
Please advise.

Hello,
Thank you for your comments on the article I tried to put up on SeeAbility. I'm not sure how to request the Royal School for the Indigent Blind changes its name to SeeAbility. I tried googling, and found that I may not have made enough edits to get that authority. Could you request the move to SeeAbility, then I could move the text over into the new page.
Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickAshyrs ( talk • contribs) 09:43, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Felix Semper, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello Basie. It's been 2 months since I resubmitted my edited article for a second review, and 4 months since I first submitted this article. It still shows pending review. Notability was confirmed, so I don't believe that is the issue. I thought about changing the name of the article to Rabbi Steve Leder, but that shouldn't matter? Please advise me how or if I can do anything to expedite the review of this article. Thank you very much. EllenSheehy ( talk) 15:27, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
