Are you really new?

Wow, can you really be a newcomer, with that deft use of <ref>? If you are, serious respect for mastering horrid Wiki code! JackyR | Talk 22:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JackyR, thanks for the kind comments. I am familiar with HTML basics so this is not too difficult to follow, especially with the extensive help files. The next step is a photo or two of mine. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

License tagging for Image:W Withering at Caldas da Rainha.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:W Withering at Caldas da Rainha.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Great image. I see a bot has come to nag you about description and copyright. The links it offers are good, but a better course would be to go straight to Wikimedia Commons. This is the central library for all the Wikimedia projects (diff language Wikipedias, Wiktionary, etc), and images uploaded there are available for immediate use on all projects. Alas there's no easy transfer method from English-language Wikipedia, so you'll have to upload your pic again from scratch. And sign-up there to do so.

The slight wrinkle is that Commons pics have to be copyright-free in all domains, whereas Eng-lang WP seems happy to follow US law (bizarre, but there you are). However, your particular pic looks to be good all round. Generally there is excellent guidance for images at Commons, so if you can bear more learning I'd recommend starting there rather than Eng-lang WP's guidance. If there's anything I can help with, feel free to ask (I'm JackyR at Commons, too), and they're a friendly bunch at the Village Pump/Help Desk.

Phew. Sometimes it feels like one spends more time learning the ropes than pulling on 'em! Hang on in there! JackyR | Talk 10:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This is a presentation entirely from the viewpoint of a proponent of the technique. It needs a much wide range of sources. And see WP:MEDRS for our sourcing requirements in this field. I think it possible that the article can meet them, os it;s worth another ttry.

Teaching Wikipedia editing for healthcare audiences

Following a discussion with Doug Taylor, we thought it would be helpful to draw up a list of transferable skills needed to edit a Wikipedia page successfully, and be a part of the Wikipedia community. This could form a useful template to allow comparison with teaching curricula. This in turn would improve the ease of incorporating teaching Wikipedia editing into such curricula.

I thought it might be useful to start a draft template below. This could be amended iteratively by the Wikipedia community, in order to build up a comprehensive document.

I have set out below the eight headings that WikiEdu use in their teaching template for the main stages in becoming proficient with Wikipedia.^[1] Beneath that, I have started a basic matrix with the eight columns for the stages (1 - 8 across the top) and an expandable number of component knowledge or skills Below these eight headings, I have started setting out a list of actual discrete, assessible, actions comprising the various stages of the learning and doing processes for editing Wikipedia pages and engaging with the community. I have suggested some main headings (in bold) with subheadings (in italics) for the component skills needed for each heading. Against each item, I have inserted asterisks in each column (stage) which that item supports.

[NB this is not a list of the order in which to teach knowledge & skills, just a list of what they are, from basic to more advanced!]

Philosophical background

* The five pillars

* The Wikipedia mission

* How the community realise the mission

* Why the community realise the mission

Matrix of WikiEdu teaching template headings & component practical skills

[At the bottom is a blank template for further rows of the matrix (one each for main heading and sub-heading); these can be copied & pasted into the table, to add further items]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (November 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by K.e.coffman were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Deceptive edit summary

Hi, Kitb. Please use explanatory edit summaries that correspond to your edit. This edit summary is downright deceptive. Bishonen | tålk 17:33, 13 May 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Hello, Bishonen. Thank you for the feedback. however, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. I received an email alert saying that the page had been edited. I had a quick look at the change (as cited by the email: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MMR_vaccine_and_autism&diff=next&oldid=1153050584). I was simply looking at the highlighted text and spotted a purely grammatical typo in the previous edit ('...leading to a...' had been changed to '...triggered to a...') and removed the offending 'to'.

I always try to make my edit summaries accurate, and this one was—there was no deception, intended or actual. I think your (understandable, on reflection) wider concern is perhaps more appropriately directed at the earlier (now apparently no longer active) editor, Justito, who had changed the sense of the article, not just the grammar. Kitb (talk) 10:53, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Justito, who is still active, was making disruptive edits, and they had been reverted, and yes, you did remove a redundant preposition. If you had only done that, all would be well, but you actually also reinstalled all of Justito's disputed edits. Be more careful next time. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 14:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Valjean, I appreciate the explanation and apologize unreservedly for the unintended error.

Having looked at the history, I can now see that Jeppiz undid Justito's revision. I'm puzzled, as I did not receive a notification about Jeppiz's amendment (hence not thinking that there would be an interim reversion), only about Justitio's [13th at 16:14], yours 13th at 17:24]; Bishonen's [today at 18:33]; Sledgehamming's [today at 10:22]; and your last, just now.

Might there be an explanation as to why no notification was triggered for that edit, only? Kitb (talk) 15:30, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(PS I described Justitio as 'inactive' as there was no User page in that name, when I looked. That's a second thing I have learned!)Kitb (talk)

It could have been an edit conflict thing. Shit happens. All's well now, so carry on. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:54, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
