Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!
Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Misplaced Pages, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.
- Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
- Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
- To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):
{{subst:WP Physiology–invite}}~~~~
- To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):
{{subst:WP Physiology–welcome}}~~~~
- You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.
Hoping for your cooperation! Diptanshu 12:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for considering me. I do have other articles which are a priority at this point, but when they're improved, I'll definitely stop by and see what I can contribute. DVMt (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for being one of Misplaced Pages's top medical contributors!
- please help translate this message into the local language

The Cure Award |
| In 2013 you were one of the top 300 medical editors across any language of Misplaced Pages. Thank you so much for helping bring free, complete, accurate, up-to-date medical information to the public. We really appreciate you and the vital work you do! |
We are wondering about the educational background of our top medical editors. Would you please complete a quick 5-question survey? (please only fill this out if you received the award)
Thanks again :) --Ocaasi, Doc James and the team at Wiki Project Med Foundation
- Thank you very much, depending on circumstances, I hope to help more in NMSK related articles. DVMt (talk) 23:14, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Collaboration
Greetings! Referring to your suggestion at my Talk Page regarding the development of articles, you wrote: "... How about you take a look and give me some feedback and we can start to prioritize where we're going to begin...." How is the editing going? Also I was wondering, where might I take a look on your current version under work? :P Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 11:45, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for getting back to me. Take a look at this link. This is a remodelled version of the article that is far superior in both tone, weight to MSK, actually informing readers what chiropractors do, think and practice as well as the research that underlies their distinct approach to health. https://en.wikipedia.org/User:DVMt/sandbox DVMt (talk) 02:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi DVMt!
- I have revised the old Chriopractic article, as well as you new version here in the sandbox. I must say, reading the old version was somewhat horrifying: it was just a mish-mash of one-liners with citations with little or no connection from one sentence to the next. However, I am extremly pleased with your edit here. Well, as a WP:OVEERLINK editor I do have a dozen of links to be remove on my list, but it does not affect the structure in question ;)
- Anyway, my comments would be as follows:
- + A clear "red string" to follow
+ Great appearance
+ Logical division of statements (not a jigsaw puzzle like the previous one)
+ Introduces a lot better the main believes of the doctrine itself; criticism is always for the "Controversy\Criticism" section
- Some remarks:
- Sections: "History", Osteopathic medicine vs chiropractic medicine", and Philosophy contain pretty much the same text.
* Sections: "Treatment, and Manual and manipulative therapy contain pretty much the same text.
- Thanks for the input. I agree we should avoid duplication and I'll attempt to merge the sections. I was going over some recent archives and see there is repeated concern about undue weight given to the fringe faction and less about the MSK side of things. I have seen some good commentary and suggestions by RexxS and Zad68 in the recent archives. We can use those as a guide how to navigate through these waters. If you know of other level headed editors who might be able to comment or discuss these issues it will be helpful so we can have other opinions as well. Understanding the factions of the profession is critical too, otherwise what the mainstream approach is and what is fringe. DVMt (talk) 15:00, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
