Disambiguation link notification for August 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Virus quantification, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Substrate. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Potassium permanganate (medical use) into Potassium permanganate. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for contacting me about this. I was actually trying to merge the "Potassium permanganate (medical use)" page into the larger "Potassium permanganate" page, since there's a lot of overlapping/duplicate information between the two pages. For some reason I assumed the original contributors' info would remain linked to the text. But I realize now that doesn't make much sense.🤦🏻‍♀️

- I did make a note in the Talk page about this, per instructions from a help article here, but maybe I misunderstood something.

I could try to revert/undo the changes involving copied text, if that would be best. There would still be the original problem of the pages having overlapping information, (and sometimes conflicting information), so any suggestions you have on how best to address that would be welcome.

Thank you Betsy Rogers (talk) 21:27, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

• Asthma, HIV/AIDS and Meningitis are all in need of some tender love and care, with a median source date between 2008 and 2011. Many clinical guidelines note changes from earlier versions, so updating diagnosis and management sections may be doable even if you have less time on your hand.
• Interested in which articles were most edited recently? That feature is back after a year hiatus. Recently, the Discussion overview stopped working. Can you help get it fixed or replace it?

Undos

Just so you know – there is a straightforward way to revert multiple edits simultaneously. On the "history" tab, select the start and end versions of the black of edits that you want to undo using the radio buttons on the left-hand side and click the "compare selected revisions" button. That gives you a page showing the combined differences from all that set of edits. Then click the "undo" link to undo all of the intervening edits. Best, Wham2001 (talk) 07:52, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!! I knew there was a way to do that but I couldn't remember exactly how.  :-) BetsyRogers (talk) 08:50, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Vital signs 2026 project

Would you perhaps be interested in co-organising the campaign? There's a lot of things to be done if we want to make it successful, like reviving the medical collaboration of the month, finding new and old editors to work together on this, keeping the WikiProject newsletter up and running to keep people interested etc. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:11, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm not able to commit to a coordinating role right now, but I could absolutely help with the smaller tasks. BetsyRogers (talk) 20:05, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Following up: I definitely would be interested in working on lede sections that need improvement. (I do that somewhat compulsively already :-) ). BetsyRogers (talk) 20:58, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

Vital Signs 2026

Hello, I hope you are enjoying 2026 thus far! I'm reaching out to you since you signed yourself up as a participant of Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026. To get the ball rolling on this project, I'd like to invite you to help fill out the progress table. If you (like me) have a hard time figuring out tables, I'd suggest editing it in the visual editor to make it easier. Just chose any article from the table and check for the following:

1. Sources - are they recent (last 10 years, in accordance with WP:MEDDATE)? Are the sources from a reliable source (I personally use the script User:Headbomb/unreliable to aid in this)? Is there an over relliance on WP:PRIMARY sources?
2. Coverage - Does the article cover the main aspects of the topic? Sometimes it can be helpful to check the article template for the topic to see if there is any major gaps in information (Special:PrefixIndex/Template:Article_templates). WP:MEDSECTIONS also provides an easy overview to the various sections. Are there areas where the article goes into too much detail?
3. Accuracy - This one ties into the last two and mostly checks for WP:DUE weight as well as factual errors. Keep an eye out for primary sources such as case studies or extremely old sources being used to support something that is phrased as a fact.
4. Prose - Can be a bit tricky to judge at first but I'd recommend not getting too hung up on this one. Simply focus on if the articles wording is readable and can be understood. If you find that the way something is written gives you a headache then the prose is probably needing some work.
5. Images and infobox - Is there some images included in the article to aid in understanding? Are there tables with unclear information?
6. Understandability - Is the WP:LEDE understandable to a casual reader or does it require in depth knowledge of the topic? Is the easiest to understand information presented first with details given later on?

After that you just need to copy and paste the current assessment rating. You can also sign yourself up as a volunteer to help improve the page and add any notes that may help others. Feel free to to tackle as many or as little of these articles as you would like, and if you only feel comfortable assessing some of the criteria that's okay too, any bit helps!

If you're looking for some articles that need some love the following articles are assessed as C class: addiction, allergy, anemia, autism, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, COVID-19 vaccine, cancer, cataract, diarrhea, enteritis, health effects of tobacco, kidney disease, mental disorder, and stroke.

Feel free to ask question on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026, my talkpage, or in response to this message! IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 18:08, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - January 2026

Issue 26—January 2026

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Happy New Year from WikiProject Medicine. Last year was tumultuous, with large language models competing for readers’ attention. These models often sound authoritative despite frequent hallucinations. They are however effective at writing in clear, accessible language, something research shows we often fail to achieve in medical articles. One of the goals of the Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to ensure that our top-importance articles are understandable, as this is one of the six B-class criteria they should meet.

• 2025 saw one Arbitration case related to WikiProject Medicine, related to conduct around transgender healthcare and people. The case saw a number of editors banned or topic-banned.
• Thanks to Earwig, recent article talk discussions are updated again at WP:MED, so you never miss an interesting discussion. Our participant list is working too!
• The Vital Signs campaign has kicked off. We've already removed misinformation from breast cancer, updated the management section of asthma, and assessed what needs to happen at autism. Can you help too?
  • Adopt an article, fix obvious mistakes, and assess if it now meets the B-class criteria in the progress table
  • Help out with any of the smaller tasks, such as ensuring that the new ICD-11 codes are included, or updated the disease frequency and mortality with the Global Burden of Disease study, published last October.
