Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of a group of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research. The group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which is then published by Wiley-Blackwell in The Cochrane Library.

As of April 2013, Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access to 100 medical editors. Individual access would cost between $300 and $800 per single license subscription. Thank you Cochrane!

  1. Cyborg Ninja (talk · contribs). I've been working on Misplaced Pages articles since at least 2007, but some of my edits were done anonymously in the past depending on if I felt like signing in or not. I have a strong focus in neurology and pathology, but also work on other medical articles. Access to Cochrane will help me expand my knowledge, and especially provide material to link to for references in Wiki articles.
  2. Mikael Häggström (talk · contribs). My name is Mikael Häggström, MD, and I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2006, with 38,000 edits, mainly to medical articles (). I have a particular interest in articles related to reproductive medicine; I'm a member of the Reproductive medicine task force, and regularly summarize the latest contents of Human Reproduction Update in Misplaced Pages. Actually, just a couple of hours before I was informed of this offer I updated Misplaced Pages content related to a Cochrane review (). In that case I used the summary in Human Reproduction Update as a reference, and I've done the same for Cochrane reviews before. However, with direct access to Cochrane, I'll be able to study the data behind the conclusions in order to make more accurate entries for similar studies in the future. Mikael Häggström (talk) 21:04, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  3. Kmhkmh (talk · contribs) I'm active since 2007 with >8000 edits in en.wp and >31,000 edits in de.wp. However medical or biochemical articles are not my main area of activity, but I do edit and proofread some of them occasionally. So you can probably consider me a semi-active editor in that area. Nevertheless if we have more accounts than active editors in that area available, then I'd like to ask for one that I could use for my occasional editing and proofreading.--Kmhkmh (talk) 21:29, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  4. Zad68 (talk · contribs) I am a very active WP:MED editor and look to Cochrane as the gold standard for medical sourcing. I've been on Misplaced Pages since 2008 with most of my activity in the past year and some months. Most (probably 85% or more) of my 13,000+ edits in that time frame have been related to WP:MEDICINE-scope content. In the past year I brought Circumcision to GA quality which required totally redoing the sourcing and rewriting the article almost entirely from scratch, and right now I'm in the middle of bringing Low back pain to GA status. I also do GA reviews, I did the GA reviews for Fecal incontinence and Burn and right now I'm in the middle of doing the GA review for Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I sometimes work in the medical library of the nearby university to use their books but that does not get me access to journals or Cochrane. Getting this access would be of tremendous and immediate value. Zad68 03:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  5. Emergency doc (talk · contribs). I am Emergency doc. I'm specialist in emergency medicine, orthopedic an trauma surgery. I am part of the Redaktion Medizin in the german Misplaced Pages. I am active since 2011 and my edit count is 7000+. I'd like to get access to the Cochrane Lib to improve existing an write new medical articles in the german Misplaced Pages.--Emergency doc (talk) 22:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  6. Doc.mari (talk · contribs). I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2009, with more than 9000 edits. I am a member of the Italian Wikiproject Medicine and author of several medical articles on it.wikipedia. My main interest is nephrology. Having a direct access to Cochrane would help me to improve quality and reliability of the articles I write or update. --Doc.mari (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  7. Partynia (talk · contribs). I´m active as a medical editor Redaktion Medizin in the german Misplaced Pages. I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2012 and my edit count is almost 9.800 edits mainly in the area of medicine. My focuses are health professionals, health system, general medicine and dentistry. I have a higher doctorate and would appreciate an access to Cochrane. --Partynia (talk) 21:51, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  8. cpt_ricard (talk · contribs). I'm a long-term editor (since 2006) with an MD who essentially scours individual sites and cleans them up accordingly in terms of prose; part of Wikiproject Medicine; especially clarifying large-picture thinking, ensuring topics can be accessed in terms of comprehension as broadly as possible. Latest edits include homeopathy, cardiotocography. MD IRL, always use Cochrane to review relevant topics but always disappointed when I can't pass a paywall. In any event, many thanks to Cochrane inc. for the wonderful donation! Cpt ricard (talk) 22:23, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  9. Lientje111 (talk · contribs) I'm an editor in the dutch wikipedia with a special interest in medical and scientific articles. Unfortunatly there is still a lot of work to do on this subjects in the dutch wiki. A recurrent problem is the misuse of poor quality research in proving pov opinions. Acces to the Cochrane database would be very helpfull in increasing the quality of certain medical or scientific articles. Lientje111 (talk) 22:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  10. فلورانس (talk · contribs) I'm an editor,patroll,autopatrollers and Rollback in the fa wikipedia - Information Technology Manager+Nurse. with Up 7000 Edit in Fa.wiki .need to Acces to the Cochrane database فلورانس (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
    This user has been blocked indefinitely in Persian Misplaced Pages for disruptive edits, can we transfer this access to someone else? :)</code.>Ladsgroup 23:53, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
    It's not needed, you can sign up in round two. That user is also active in arabic wikipedia, so he can use it there.Achaemenes (talk) 00:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
    Thanks User:Ladsgroup. I will look into this. The accounts have not yet been delivered, so if necessary, it can still be withheld. Ocaasi 00:50, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
  11. midgley (talk · contribs). I'm a general medical practitioner in England. I've made a lot of edits, wrote the first version of an article that sits nicely in immunisation, and as well as the WP I am active in the http://ganfyd.org project.
  12. Colonel Warden (talk · contribs) I am a generalist but, in my patrols, I often come across disputed medical articles for which Cochrane access would be useful such as speleotherapy. Warden (talk) 23:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
  13. Peter.C (talk · contribs) I have been editing medical articles for the past two years and have accumulated over 6000 edits. The biggest barrier to me being able to edit Misplaced Pages has been my lack of access to journal articles as I do not have any affiliation with any professinal organization that provides me with research databases. My main contributions have been to injury/trauma articles.Peter.C • talk • contribs 00:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  14. DoctorJoeE (talk · contribs). I have been active on Misplaced Pages since mid-2008, with over 5,000 edits. I am an MD (specializing in dermatology) and also a journalist, and I edit a wide variety of medicine and science articles, with a focus on improving accuracy and adding updated information as it becomes available. Like all editors I have a finite amount of editing time available to me, so access to Cochrane would be a big help and a real time-saver. DoctorJoeE /talk to me! 02:22, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  15. Canada Hky (talk · contribs) Working mainly on genetics / metabolic articles, so it is a niche area - although these would be helpful for reviewing articles in areas I am less familiar with. Canada Hky (talk) 02:37, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  16. Singhalawap (talk · contribs). I am medical doctor from Sri Lanka with MBBS & MSc qualifications. I as employed in the government healthcare sector of Sri Lanka for more than 10years covering both preventive care & curative care. I am a wiki user for about 7 years & having done more than 15000 contributions to wikimedia projects of which 14000 are in si.wikipedia.org probably the rank 1 in the sinhala language wikipedia according to number of contributions. As Sinhala wiki users are mainly living in the tropical middle income country of Sri Lasnka I would like to add medical content that are more relevant to the users of that country. Singhalawap (talk) 02:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  17. Edgar181 (talk · contribs) I am a long time (since 2005) prolific editor (>100,000 edits) of articles related to pharmaceuticals and pharmacology. -- Ed (Edgar181) 02:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  18. Xabian40409 (talk · contribs) I joined Misplaced Pages in 2005 at age 18. I hold a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science and a Master's degree in Pharmacy. My knowledge of therapeutics is quite sound. I am also interested in physiology, particularly of the nervous and renal systems. I am presently studying Psychology and English. I mostly spot-edit for grammar these days, but I would certainly make use of access to Cochrane, which I consider one of the most reliable references. Xabian40409 (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  19. Andres (talk · contribs) I am a generalist. I have made about 12 000 edits here and about 294 000 on the Estonian Misplaced Pages since 2002. I do have written and edited some articles on anatomy, physiology and medicine. Andres (talk) 05:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  20. Prashanthns (talk · contribs) I have been an editor and contributor in various capacities primarily to the English Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia Commons since 2006 with over 25000 edits. I am a medical doctor and a public health researcher. I have also been a contributor at Medpedia and other medical/health collaborations. Cochrane access would help me improve article quality and evidence base of health related articles on Misplaced Pages. prashanthns (talk) 06:17, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  21. Frivadossi (talk · contribs). I am a medical doctor from Italy. I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2005, with more than 17000 edits. I am a member of the Italian Wikiproject Medicine. I wrote some new articles on anatomy, medical signs, diseases and other. I'm the author of several medical articles, mainly on drugs on it.wikipedia. Cochrane direct access would help me to improve quality and reliability of the articles I write or update. ----Frivadossi (talk) 06:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  22. Hindustanilanguage (talk · contribs) I am a gold medalist of the Diploma in HIV and Family Education. I hold 35,000+ edits across all Wikis, and 5000+ edits on the Hindi Misplaced Pages and 2000+ on English Misplaced Pages. In this particular context, I would like to highlight that I have conceived and created a full category of articles related to AIDS Control Agencies in India, created a separate category of articles related to HIV information and also edited the articles on HIV and AIDS. Further access to medical articles and information will help me in my contributions in this area. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 08:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC).
  23. Eleassar (talk · contribs). I'm a medical student from Slovenia. I have edited medicine and anatomy articles in the English Misplaced Pages since 2005. In addition, I'm an active contributor of medicine-related articles in the Slovene Misplaced Pages and have also started and coordinated the Slovene WikiProject Medicine there. The access to Cochrane would aid me very much in improving the accuracy and verifiability of articles that I write or edit in both projects, and would also help me expand my general medical knowledge. --Eleassar 08:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  24. Queeste (talk · contribs). Mostly active on the Dutch Misplaced Pages, but also on the English. I regularly work on medical topics, especially psychiatry (and psychology). I already referred to the Cochrane reviews several times. Active since 2009. --Queeste (talk) 09:52, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  25. Jfdwolff (talk · contribs). Oh yes, been pushing for this quietly for some time. JFW | T@lk 09:56, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  26. itsme (talk) 11:20, 17 June 2013 (UTC) I am a nutritionist mostly active in editing subjects related to nutritional medicine and clinical nutrition. Most of my edits are done as user Itsme (active since 2005), which currently has 6.959 edits on the dutch wikipedia, since 2009 (almost) all my edits are related to nutritional medicine since from that moment on I use a diferent user account (它是我, since september 2009, 2.219 edits at the moment) for all edits which are not related to my profession. I do not have free access to Cochrane at this moment. At this moment, on the english wikipedia "Itsme" is not my username, it will be in August 2013, when all user accounts will be globalized (since I am owner of the global user account 'Itsme'). From that moment, my current username "'Aldert'" (86 edits on english wikipedia, active since 2007) on the english Misplaced Pages will not be used anymore. I will then configure the preferences of User:Itsme to receive email. Until that moment, I will receive mail via my current account. P.S. For some strange reason on talk-pages my account signs with "itsme" (without capital I), but if you click on it, it redirects to "Aldert". itsme (talk) 11:20, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  27. bluerasberry (talk · contribs) I edit health topics in collaboration with WikiProject Medicine. I am sure that I have made more than 1000 edits on health articles and I frequently do Misplaced Pages outreach to health organizations. I am interested in improving the Misplaced Pages articles on HIV and malaria. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  28. Wikitanvir (talk · contribs) I have edited a significant number of health related articles in Bangla Misplaced Pages and I am very interested in the translation task force from where I would like to get more articles translated to Bangla Misplaced Pages to spread health information in Bangla. I also have the plan to start editing health articles in English Misplaced Pages within my capacity. — T. 16:02, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  29. OppidumNissenae (talk · contribs) I'm an Italian user expert in biology and medicine, my credentials on WP are: 17,700 edits from April 9, 2010 ; 450 new entries especially of medicine / biology . I own the Credo Reference's and Questia Trusted online research . Having a direct access to Cochrane would help me to improve quality and reliability of the articles I write or update; I already referred to the Cochrane reviews several times. --OppidumNissenae (talk) 16:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  30. Deviator13 (talk · contribs) Medical student from Slovenia with primary interest in toxicology. I am active on Slovene Misplaced Pages since 2007 (sometimes also on English Misplaced Pages) and have almost 11,000 edits there. I`m also a member of Slovene WikiProject Medicine and my work is mostly concentrated on medical articles and related sciences. Further access would greatly aid me in improving medical articles, which are more "exotic" in nature.--Deviator13 16:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  31. MBq (talk · contribs) I'm contributing since 2004, focusing on radiology, radiotherapy, oncology, and related topics. I'm a member of de:Misplaced Pages:Redaktion Medizin, our home wikipedia's medical wikiproject. Many thanks for this generous offer! --MBq (talk) 17:10, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  32. Tryptofish (talk · contribs) I've been an editor since 2008, with slightly under 30,000 edits. I'm very active in health-related subject matter, particularly neuroscience and pharmacology. I no longer have access to medical journals in the way that I used to in my former job in academia, and it would be very helpful to me to have this ability. However, please note that I do not have e-mail activated, due to privacy concerns. But if you contact me on my talk page, I can reply by e-mail with my e-mail address. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  33. Taketa (talk · contribs) - I am a medical intern from the Netherlands, and teach resuscitation at my university for a living. I will graduate this year and loose my access to Cochrane and Pubmed. I have been an editor since 2008, with over 35,000 edits. My work in the field of medicine mostly focuses on writing articles, mainly on anatomy and pathology and improving existing articles. I help at the local medical helpdesk, which I co-founded. Having direct access to Cochrane from my home, instead of only from the university library, will help me improve the articles I work on. Also I will soon loose access after graduating and wish to keep using Cochrane. Cochrane is a valuable source to me on the current state of a topic and specific background information on specialized topics.
  34. Alison (talk · contribs) - I've been an editor on Misplaced Pages since around 2003, and have over 50,000 edits. Though with no formal medical qualifications, I've worked in the medical electronics industry in the area of diagnostic hematology. I edit articles on reproductive science, endocrinology and pharmacology and having access to Cochrane sources would be absolutely invaluable - Alison 19:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
  35. Andrux (talk · contribs) Hello! I am contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2012, mainly in topics related to different aspects of thyroid gland. Majority of my edits were performed in Ukr-Wiki (112 articles, ca 4000 edits), however I have created 4 articles in En-Wiki as well. This is a big susses of Misplaced Pages to get the right to provide accesses to Cochrane library to medical users here, since this is the excellent source of medical information, which definitely would help in writing of new articles and updated the old one in Misplaced Pages. I would like to apply for such asses and would be really grateful for positive decision. Regards, --Andrux (talk) 08:18, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  36. Hic et nunc (talk · contribs) I'm active in the German WP since 2006, member of de:Misplaced Pages:Redaktion Medizin and interested espacially in gynnaecology, obstetrics, reproductive medicine and related topics. Thanks to Cochrane Collaboration for this great offer! --Hic et nunc (talk) 13:43, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
  37. The Transhumanist (talk · contribs) - I've been editing Misplaced Pages since 2005, and have over 80,000 edits (over 96,000 if you include my previous accounts). I'm the founder of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Health and fitness (under the account name "Go for it!"), and I've lost track of how many times I've edited health and medical articles. Some of the health-related articles I've worked on include health, nootropic (as User:Pantothenate), and the health-related outlines (on health, exercise, healthcare science, medicine, anesthesia, clinical research, diabetes, dentristry, obstetrics, psychiatry, autism, and the psychiatric survivors movement). The health outlines in particular are in serious need of citation support, and Chochrane would be invaluable in their improvement and in the creation of new outlines.

  38. Stern88888 (talk · contribs) - I have a medical doctorate and have experience with articles in international journals, I would like to write articles for Azerbaijani Misplaced Pages, where I am active since 2013. In contrast to English internet sources, in the Azerbaijani internet there is lack of sources. I would be very happy if you give me access to Cochrane too. --Stern88888 (talk) 04:40, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  39. Kpjas (talk · contribs) Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz, MD I've been active in various Wikimedia project since 2001 with ~60,000 edits. I am a member of Medical sciences Wikiproject on the Polish Misplaced Pages. I have no institutional access to medial databases and there's a standing need to verify and/or cite sources in thousands of medical articles in Polish language. I could also help Polish fellow Wikipedians with verifying dubious edits. Kpjas (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  40. yoavd (talk · contribs) I am editing in the Hebrew Misplaced Pages for the last 6 years, with approx. 40000 edits. --Yoavd (talk) 15:35, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  41. Achaemenes (talk · contribs) I have MD degree and have been in wikipedia since ~2008 with +8000 edits, also I am founder and active member of Wikiproject medicine in Persian wikipedia (fa.wikipedia.org). I don't have access to this library (or any other medical library alike). I want to have this access in order to use it in development and improvement of medical articles in Persian wikipedia which currently are in terrible need of reliable medical sources.Achaemenes (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  42. THWZ (talk · contribs) Since 2007-11 I contribute to the de.Misplaced Pages with meanwhile roundabout 23.000 edits, being an active member of the Redaktion Medizin since I started my activities on wikipedia. I participate in our quality management and have written some articles, too. I'm allways in need of really reliable sources not only in writing articles but also in improving existing articles. I'm a general surgeon and traumatologist, the access to Cochrane would help me in my activities as editor. --THWZ (talk) 21:35, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  43. drsrisenthil (talk · contribs) I am a medical doctor (MD degree). I find this is a great opportunity for those who intend to write or edit medical articles on Misplaced Pages. I have been active on Misplaced Pages projects since 2010 with more than 3000 edits. My contributions are mostly in Tamil Misplaced Pages where I started around 100 medical and science related articles, and edited and corrected several medical articles. Moreover, I am the founder of the Wikiproject medicine in Tamil Misplaced Pages. Due to the lack of access to various research articles, there is always problem to cite or verify the medical articles. Using various textbooks is also sometime an issue without having proper sources. With the access to various resources and research articles, the medical articles written or to be written in various Misplaced Pages language projects will be stronger than before. Providing access to the Cochrane Library will give a positive and beneficial impact on various Misplaced Pages medical projects. I thank you for the key people who proposed this excellent idea. I would appreciate if you give me access to the Cochrane Library.--Senthi (talk) 21:48, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
  44. Sundar (talk · contribs) I've been editing English and Tamil Wikipedias since 2004 with nearly 20,000 edits altogether. Biology and health are among the key areas where I contribute. -- Sundar 02:55, 20 June 2013 (UTC) P.S. Thanks Senthi for the information.
  45. SandyGeorgia (talk · contribs) I have been active on the English Misplaced Pages since 2006, have almost 150,000 edits, and I work primarily on medical articles-- more specifically, featured medical articles or medical articles coming up in content review processes or affected by student editing. I wrote FA Tourette syndrome, worked extensively on autism, Asperger syndrome, schizophrenia, tuberculosis, and many others. I keep an eye on medical articles that appear at FAC or DYK, but rarely follow GA. Due to a recent relocation and life change (which has kept me quite busy IRL for the last year), I have no access to a medical or a university library, which makes it very difficult now for me to add or review content to the extent I did in the past. I recently got access via Misplaced Pages to JSTOR, and have found it unhelpful for medical editing. Having access to Cochrane would be the bees knees and would enable me to continue editing at the pace I did for my first seven years on Misplaced Pages. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:20, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
  46. Ossip Groth (talk · contribs) I am in nephrology and its basic and translational biology like epithelial-mesenchymal transition and therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cells. I am no bulk editor and I am running wikitechnology supported external medical resources. My best submit for those in evidence-based medicine is my sitesearch.php which lets the user funnel the search terms to a multitude of publishers and other medical sites in pubmed-style boolean as well as down to simple phrase terms as parsable of the less-powered sites to look for. Im in wiki since 2005 (slightly different user name) and I inaugurated the topics tlr-2, hmgb1 and a few nk cell receptors as well as the metatextbook-of-medicine page in the german wikipedia since 2005. I retired from wikipedia after a bulk-sla of 10 topics in germany 2010 and decided to enhance the basic wiki idea in external wiki-based or wiki-inspired applications, requiring deep program code changes not implementable at the original or other-provider's sites in ../include/output.php for textstring replacements by html code in addHTML function to enable shortest in-line citations with boxes to mark which to select to show abstracts from by the magic code §cx(12345678,12345679) to cite PMID=12345678 and PMID=12345679, and other funny things. --Ossip Groth (talk) 08:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
  47. Karthi.dr (talk · contribs) I am active in Tamil Misplaced Pages since 2010 with nearly 6,761 edits. I am a medical biochemist by profession. I have started more than 100 medical stubs in Tamil wiki. Giving reference to medical articles is really a big problem. It would be really helpful to get access to the Cochrane Library. Thanks for this innovative step.--Karthi.dr (talk) 08:37, 20 June 2013 (UTC)P.S. Thanks Senthi for the information.
  48. Andreas Werle (talk · contribs) I am active in Misplaced Pages since May 2005, my Homewiki is WP:de, I am member of Redaktion Medizin since the beginning. I made about 17.000 edits mainly in medical topics but also in biology. I am physician and my interest is Neurology, Psychiatry and Genetics. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to get access to a Chorane account. Many Thanks. -- Andreas Werle (talk) 05:51, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
  49. Rod57 (talk · contribs). I've been an editor since late 2006, with about 11,000 edits, mainly in the area of science/medicine and largely in oncology (diagnosis, therapy, targeted therapy, clinical trials etc). I've started many articles, eg on new drugs in late stage clinical trials. Access to Cochrane would be a huge help in finding good sources to keep articles balanced and up to date. -- Rod57 (talk) 13:45, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
  50. Ian Furst (talk · contribs). I've been an editor since 2009 with 770 edits, although I've been more active lately after participating in the wikimonuments project. I'm an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon from Canada. My interest is in improving the scientific validity of wikidentistry and wikimedicine projects, best example is the mandible fracture page. It's tough to find non-primary source articles for many of the pages, the Cochrane db would really help. Ian Furst (talk) 23:20, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
  51. עמירם פאל (talk · contribs). I have been working on He:Misplaced Pages (and a little on the En:Misplaced Pages) for about 5 years with about 12,000 edits, many of those in the area of medicine and scientific research and people. I generally focus on Cancer and Longevity research and people at both the laboratory and clinical levels. I started 13 articles about longevity and Chemotherapy medications and physicians. I also update existing articles with recent systematic reviews as they come out. Access to Cochrane would be a big help in the work I plan to continue doing expanding our coverage of new longevity topics and Cancer treatments. עמירם פאל (talk) 07:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
  52. Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs). I patrol recent changes and edit en.WP medical content. I contribute mostly to the pain/pain management topic area, such as Cancer pain, and Pain in animals. I have 8,000 article edits, two thirds of which are medicine-related. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 08:15, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

  54. Kalaiarasy (talk · contribs). I've been a wikipedia editor, mainly in Tamil wikipedia, for more than 9 years. As I'm working in the medical field, most of my edits are related to the medical field and biology. It would be very much helpful to have the access to the database.--Kalaiarasy (talk) 12:38, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
  55. Kernel.package (talk · contribs). I've been creating and editing articles since around 2003. I don't know how many edits I made from accounts made prior to this one, or edits I've made without logging in (because the machine used wasn't trusted). The number of edits shown for this account (opened in 2008) is less than 500. Lack of access to credible sources has been an impediment. Interests include pharmicokinetics, FDA/DEA influence, differential diagnosis, the business of medicine, epidemiology and the application of public health methods to cyber security. Respectfully requested, Kernel.package (talk) 04:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
  56. Akim Dubrow (talk · contribs). I have been working on Russian Misplaced Pages for 5 years with 10,000 edits mainly in the area of medicine and scientific research. I generally focus on pharmacology and the affective disorders. I started many articles in this field and i'm working to develop these and keep them up to date. I also update existing articles with recent systematic reviews as they come out. Access to Cochrane would be a big help in this work. Thanks, --Akim Dubrow (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
  57. Cpant23 (talk · contribs). i'm mostly interested in medical and pharmacological materials, translating also from english to spanish,... sadly couldn't applies yet (i think) for not covers the 1000 minimum edits still,... hoping can covers them during the next month or 60 days,... --Cpant23 (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
  58. Franciaio (talk · contribs) I'm a nurse in a pubblic hospital, focused on cancer research, in Italy. I'm also adjunct professor on medical informatics at University of Milan, and I've involved three of my students to prepare their nursing degree thesis focused on Misplaced Pages. My contributions are mainly on it.wikipedia, I've not yet 1.000 edits, but I think that in a few time I'll do it :-). --Franciaio 06:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

  60. madhero88 (talk · contribs) I have contributed with around 27000 edits to wikipedia most are related to medicine, I had major contributions to Kawasaki Disease article and Hypertension which I am interested in the most. I also contributed to numerous other articles and many medicine related graphics MaenK.HousehTalk 14:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC)#I edit quite heavily in medical topics including trying to get articles to high quality status, most recently the GA article ADHD and would greatly benefit from a Cochrane account. The more access I have to high quality sources the better I can contribute to wikipedia.--MrADHD | T@1k? 17:43, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
  61. I especially edit in topics related to human cognition, diseases affecting human cognition, and psychological testing. A recent example of an article expansion I did is IQ classification. I share source lists for other Wikipedians to use, and update the source lists by frequent use of the Bio-Medical Library at the state university in this metropolitan area. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 17:39, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
  62. Geoideo (talk · contribs). I am a medical doctor, cardiologist, from Italy. I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages since 2011. I am a member of the Italian Wikiproject Medicine. I wrote or update some new articles on cardiology, medical signs, diseases and other. Cochrane direct access would help me to improve quality and reliability of the articles I write or update; I already referred to the Cochrane reviews several times. Thanks, --Geoideo (talk) 13:40, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
  63. Keilana (talk · contribs) I've recently started editing medical articles & just got my first GA for Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. My university library doesn't subscribe to Cochrane and as I start writing more vital articles, having access would really improve the quality of content I can put out.

  64. Netha Hussain (talk · contribs) I am a final year undergraduate student of medicine and surgery. I've been contributing to Misplaced Pages in English and Malayalam languages since 2010. I mostly contribute to articles related to medicine and healthcare. I used to be actively editing articles related to medicine on Malayalam Misplaced Pages till the end of 2012. Now, I am focusing on writing missing articles and improving the content of existing articles on English Misplaced Pages. Having access to Cochrane will help me in expanding existing articles as well as creating new ones. -- Netha (talk) 18:11, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
  65. Stillwaterising (talk · contribs) I used to be quite involved in WikiProject Medicine and Pharmacology. I am currently retired but plan on going back to school to get a degree in microbiology. Having access to Cochrane would greatly help and encourage me to get re-involved in editing. - Stillwaterising (talk) 05:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
  66. KrakatoaKatie (talk · contribs) I'm an RN who edits in psychology and other medical articles. I'm an active English Misplaced Pages administrator, and a Cochrane account would help in many, many ways. KrakatoaKatie 10:40, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
  67. Sesamehoneytart (talk · contribs) I have been an editor for three point something years and have around 5,000 edits. I've been on somewhat of a wikibreak on and off the last year as I finish up with college, but I usually work on lesser known or less popular medical articles with the belief that every topic deserves the same amount of attention. I haven't been able to write many high quality articles simply because there isn't enough information out there on the topics I am writing about. (See De Barsy syndrome and Primrose syndrome for examples) and I believe that having access to the Cochrane library could help improve the quality of these articles and ones I intend on writing in the future. -Sesamehoneytart 15:53, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
  68. Phoni (talk · contribs) I'm meanwhile a practioner in ENT and Phoniatrics-Pedaudiology after 10 years scientific work at Berlin University. As I'm the only specialist in this faculties in the Editorial Board of the German Misplaced Pages Section Medicine and I have no accounts any longer at my old university I would be glad to receive the edits of the Cochrane Collaboration for my editing works at the German Misplaced Pages. (I will apologize now for the fact, that it may take some days for answering (in case of any answers...) as I dont't look very frequently at my english Talk section) Thanks --Phoni (talk) 15:17, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
  69. Dijcks (talk · contribs) Thank you for the invite and potential approval of this great resource. I've taken time away due to familial health-related reasonsn(care-giving to elderly parents), but will be back soon to continue editing articles of interest. I'm excited to be able to access these incredibly helpful texts, particularly as this information will be of great benefit when editing here at Misplaced Pages.. Thanks again!

  1. Dezastru (talk · contribs). I have been editing English-language Misplaced Pages since 2012 and have made 3,000+ edits. Most of my contributions are not on medical topics, but I am interested in helping to make Misplaced Pages's medical articles easier to understand for readers who do not have medical or other technical/scientific backgrounds. I would also like to help keep Misplaced Pages medical content "honest", so that the articles follow the most authoritative sources and are not used as a venue for selling commercial products or fringe ideas. My most recent major medical contributions have been on breast cancer and ketoconazole. (I would contribute more if I had easier access to high-quality sources, such as the Cochrane Library.) Most of my contributions will probably be to articles covering common diseases and pharmacologic agents. Dezastru (talk) 16:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
