Issue 18—August 2022
WikiProject Medicine Newsletter
Back (for now) by
popular demand, it's the WP:MED Newsletter! Pardon the 9-month hiatus. This month features a catch-up list of promoted GAs since the last newsletter, and some calls to action for those looking to add to their todo lists. I hope this finds you well. Enjoy.
Since last newsletter, frightfully few medicine articles have passed through our main content review processes,
Good Article and
Featured Article. While we can agree there's more to editing than chasing bronze stars and green blobs, it would be nice to see the catalog of "Good" and "Featured" medicine articles growing rather than just aging. If you're interested in taking on a project but would like some light guidance or a helping hand, feel free to post your plans at
WT:MED and you may find others willing to join.
An
ongoing effort seeks to review/update our oldest featured articles.
Major depressive disorder,
Lung cancer, and
Schizophrenia are next on the chopping block (so to speak). If you're interested in helping to update any, please post at
WT:MED or at those articles' talk pages. If you're new to the FA process, I'd encourage you to enlist the help of someone(s) who has been through the process before, as they can help clarify expectations and save you time.
Got a minute? Running low on inspiration/motivation and need a simple task? Check out the
247 medicine articles tagged as citing no sources!
News from around the site
The Reading/Web team has rolled out
a new skin called "Vector 2022" that will soon become the default. Opt-in in your Preferences to try it out. As with any visual update, it'll take some getting used to. If you hate it, don't panic; once it becomes default you'll still be able to opt-out in your Preferences.
The folks who brought us the nifty "Reply" button have now
rolled out a "Subscribe" button to be notified of comments in a particular thread. I believe it's turned on for everyone now. Try it on a busy talk page (e.g. WT:MED).
Voting is open for the community nominees to the WMF Board of Trustees, until September 6th.
