About Me This editor is a Veteran Editor IV and is entitled to display this Gold Editor Star. I am a paediatric neurologist and neurodevelopmental specialist and the founder of the Institute of NeuroDevelopment where help parents raise awesome kids irrespective of neurodevelopmental challenges. I am based in Kolkata, India. I am also the Deputy Editor in Chief of the ILAE Wikipedia Project, (an unpaid post but ILAE does provide a certain compensation to my organisation to make up for the time spent from my working hours in the organisation). I also run a Wikipedia Medical Editing Internship and groom people to edit Wikipedia. I am also a Board member of Wikimedia Medicine. I contribute primarily to medical articles on English Wikipedia. I am also a new page reviewer and try to help out. I am also a Wikidata enthusiast and try to contribute to this centralised repository. I first started editing Wikipedia as an unregistered user. Eventually I created this user account named Diptanshu.D and started editing using this account. I edited under this name for 9 years, following which I changed it to Diptanshu Das to reflect my "real life" identity. Profession: Doctor Interests: Varied. Hobbies: Philately Numismatics Reading Writing Art Poetry Listening to music Procrastination Purpose: I am here, wishing to contribute to the open knowledge-base for all. Wikipedia provides me the scope of Collaborative learning. Lets help to make the world a better place to live. Let knowledge know no boundaries. Mode of contribution I use Wikipedia for reference. When I find a scope of improvement in the article that I am looking up, I generally try to fill the gaps. I 'check' Wikipedia for possible errors and discrepancies. I look up the individual articles in a given category, make edits to the articles as required, add main article for the given category, assign the category to respective WikiProject(s), assign uncategorised articles to suitable categories and reassign categories as required. Looking up and improving references is a key aspect of my contribution. I tend to provide efforts in making them inline if they are not. I fix citation errors and duplicate references and use {{cite journal}} and {{cite book}} templates where they have not been applied. I also provide DOI, PMID and PMC for journal references or ISBN and online links for book references where they are lacking. I often leave suggestions on an article talk page with things to do and mentioning resources to utilise. I try to provide links to important related pages through See also, Further reading, by modifying templates or through External links. While going through cetain articles, I often come across some gaps or discrepancies and make appropriate improvements to the article. I read translated version of corresponding other language Wikipedia articles and try to enrich the English Wikipedia wherever I find a scope. I copy public domain text directly into Wikipedia including the proper mention of the source and licensing applicable. I add and check wikilinks, remove duplicates, provide disambiguation and redirect them wherever necessary. I often create pages or redirect them if there is a seeming void or requirement and often make big edits to articles within my expertise. Rather than trying to improve a B or C class article to GA or FA class, I prefer to improve the stubs, start class and Class C articles (which are generally in a requirement of significant improvement) Sometime I cleanup pages to meet Wikipedia standards. I add maintenance tags where they are supposedly required. I add tags for Categories, Wikiprojects or templates to articles as applicable. My contributions have more association with WP:MED and related WikiProjects and often involve edits requiring expert knowledge and opinion. I contribute to Wikipedia whenever I have scope but my involvement varies due to my busy schedule. I had been member of the Editorial board of WikiJournal of Medicine where I served administrative functions in addition to my contributions to the journal or attempts to popularize it. Articles I have started or expanded *The list is not exhaustive.
