Suggested variable for categorization
I think we could make use of Variations under the rater tool, for any feature that is missing in the majority of the population; such as the psoas minor, accessory soleus, etc. etc. Thoughts? Does anyone know how to implement this? I know LT910001 fixed the functionality of the tool, and I never really got the hang of changing the settings properly. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 08:31, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, this has gone by the wayside. We could definitely have a check box to denote what's a variation, and articles can be automatically added to a certain category. I wouldn't support adding it to the list of options (muscle, nerve, ...) though, if that's what you mean, as most variations can already be fit into a category there. I'll get to it before Christmas! --Tom (LT) (talk) 06:04, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Human gonad move discussion
Opinions are needed on the following matter: Talk:Human gonad#Requested move 13 August 2014. A WP:Permalink is here. Flyer22 (talk) 17:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Flyer22, a very reasonable move. --Tom (LT) (talk) 06:04, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Merging of Heart & Human heart
So, this has been a peeve of mine for a while now, and I've finally decided to do something about it. Instead of simply complain and get someone else to do the merge I've written up a massive expansion, primarily sourced from a quality CC-BY source. After having it almost eclipse other work I've been doing it is at a level where I can show it to others who might be interested in helping out. Basically the article is at around 160kb, and if it wasn't for the reliance on a single source I would push for it to reach FA within short.
What needs doing is the following:
- Wikilinking the content on Physiology onwards.
- Fixing image #s as has been done in the structure section
- Merging the content from the 3 sources on Embryology (the first section is all from CNX and refernced, if merged please only merge with other referenced content.
- Copyediting for language which speaks directly to the reader (same as the points about, should be done on the Structure section).
So, if anyone is interested the article can be found here: User:CFCF/draft/Heart

Index of anatomy articles is severely outdated
As title says. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 12:58, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Is there anything you propose to fix it? Flyer22 (talk) 13:03, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- My immediate thought would be to delete it, but maybe move it to a sub-page of this project? -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 09:52, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not too sure about what the purpose of the 'Index' series are. I think they're one of WP's heritage structures (like the 160+ individual 'WikiProject peer review' pages that exist but haven't been used for many years). I must confess I've been secretly using this page for some time, because it's an easy way to use the 'Recent Changes' feature and more reliable than the transcluded pages tool (now unavailable). There's a similar list of medical articles used to generate a recent changes list available on WT:MED. Perhaps DePiep may be able to help? What would be the opinion about this change:
- Replace 'Index of Anatomy articles' content with bot-generated content based on our current articles, sorted alphabetically.
- Provide an easy-to-follow 'Recent changes' list based on that list.
Thoughts? I hope you're all well, --Tom (LT) (talk) 06:04, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, the page is very useful to be used for recent changes in Anatomy - provided the list is a bit current list (updated). See Template:WPMED related changes, which can open various RC pages.
- More background: That WPMED box has dedicated pages (click the List), that have the article and its talkpage. These were generated from the Category:Medicine articles by importance categories (from talkpage their tagging). Unfortunately, the list-pages are not updated by a bot. Shall I look into such a box for Anatomy? -DePiep (talk) 09:12, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, DePiep. Do you think you'd be able to do that for us? If you have a main list of all our articles, plopping it down on top of 'Index of Anatomy' articles (if it is alphabetically-ordered) would also be appreciated, as that way the index would be kept up-to-date (although I'm not sure which users use it...) --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:40, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Interview for The Signpost
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Anatomy for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Thanks, Rcsprinter123 (lecture) @ 10:15, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- This is great, and as there is so much to do, even for non-professionals I am very happy to prepare a response. Give it a few days and I can answer your questions. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 12:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Makes me wish I was a bit more active in this project that way I'd have something useful to contribute to the interview. Motivation, I may have found it. Zell Faze (talk) 22:56, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ping to Iztwoz, one of our most active editors. 129.94.102.201 (talk) 00:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've been debating on whether or not I should go ahead and comment or let CFCF comment first. LT910001, do you plan to comment in the interview? Maybe I should email LT910001 about it. Flyer22 (talk) 00:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
These are my preliminary answers, if there is anything you guys don't agree with feel free to contact me–and yes Flyer22 do send something to LT as he's done so much for this project.

- CFCF, your answers are fine for the most. I state "for the most" because, as is surely no surprise to you, I somewhat disagree with your take on the sexual aspects. Also, why do you think it's unfortunate that the majority of editors who are WP:Anatomy editors are also WP:Med editors, or are involved with WP:Med in some way? I'll answer the signpost next. Flyer22 (talk) 16:12, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well I don't think I disagree with you as much as you think, and I tried to make it out that sexual content isn't unimportant per say–its just that certain aspects are to put it mildly: more popular than they deserve. As for why I think the overlap with WP:MED is slightly unfortunate is because I think we could attract more general Wikipedians as well. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 17:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining. I did note "somewhat disagree"; It'll be clear why I somewhat disagree in the signpost. And I figured "could attract more general Wikipedians as well" is what you meant regarding WP:Anatomy/WP:Med editors. Care clarifying that in the signpost? I think some WP:Anatomy members on the Participants list aren't involved with WP:Med, though. Flyer22 (talk) 17:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Alright, any other editors wishing to be included must post their answers within the next 12 hours, when I'll be getting this article ready for publication. Rcsprinter123 (collogue) @ 19:39, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Morning, this is LT910001 signing in from an IP address, I'll sign in using my account later today to verify this. Thanks for the email, Flyer22, I've been taking some time off Wiki recently so I haven't been following affairs that strongly. That said, getting on the signpost is something I've been very enthusiastic about and has definitely been on my to-do list. Am I still able to comment? I'll leave some answers below. 129.94.102.201 (talk) 23:40, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Done. (LT)
- You're welcome, LT910001. Thanks for weighing in above. I overlooked where Rcsprinter stated above that we can answer the signpost in this section; that's why I instead added my answers directly to the signpost. Excuse me on that, Rcsprinter. Flyer22 (talk) 00:22, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Flyer22. I've copied my responses there, too. 129.94.102.201 (talk) 00:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I can confirm this IP editor is me. --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:53, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- CFCF, regarding this change you made to your signpost replies above, you might want to make those changes directly to the signpost...unless Rcsprinter takes care of that for you.

GA goal -- 20 GAs
We've now more than exceeded our original goal of doubling the number of GAs (... to 10), so I've updated the goal to 20 GAs. I know it's a small goal, but I'd prefer to set small and achievable goals rather than a huge and unrealistic number. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:38, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Cleanup listing
Thanks to Bamyers99 we now have a cleanup listing here: , which I've put on the project page here. This is a useful listing of all the articles in our scope tagged for cleanup, categorised by the relevant cleanup tag. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
11 different infobox-templates
I'm planning to do some template work within this project, and thought I'd bring it up here first. Currently our project uses no less than 11 different infobox-template for different structures in the body.
- Template:Infobox anatomy
- Template:Infobox bone
- Template:Infobox nerve
- Template:Infobox brain
- Template:Infobox vein
- Template:Infobox artery
- Template:Infobox embryology
- Template:Infobox muscle
- Template:Infobox ligament
- Template:Infobox neuron
- Template:Infobox lymph
And I'm not even entirely sure this is all of them. My suggestion is to merge these into a single Template:Infobox anatomy, if needed with the following format to differentiate (replace bone with w/e):
| class = bone
This makes it simpler if we wish to introduce a new class in the future, and also allows for maintaining only one page. To avoid extra work this can also be accomplished by redirecting old templates using the following:
{{Infobox anatomy | class = bone }}
Now, as for the why: I suggest we stop using links to Gray's in the infoboxes. There is today much newer, better content on the web, and Gray's doesn't add much. A better way to solve this would be to implement some form of Atlas parameter, which could include Gray's, Sobotta's, Grant's, Anatomography etc. We would want these types of changes to occur on all the infoboxes at once. Additionally I want us to use TA, TH & TE more, and implementing this centrally would be simpler. I don't know if I've explained well enough and this is by no means anything that will occur very soon, but I just wanted to give a heads up that I may work on this. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 12:57, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds sound. Not to teach you, but I got this first response in mind (I did a similar merge elsewhere).
- First: split the tasks. Step 1: merge them all, and make that work correct. Then take a break. Step 2: when centralized into a single point template, change the Gray-issues you mention. Because, in the first step you might encounter situations of same-parametername with different-result (like calculation or presentation). When solved, the second step can take the discussion. (Not with me, I'm not into this project). -DePiep (talk) 19:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- And I always keep record of these parameters in one big spreadsheet, offline. That is my main control page (so not a wikipage). It even helps me from first overview till into documenting. -DePiep (talk) 19:27, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I mentioned the Gray-issue simply to give an idea of what could be done with one single template. Thanks for the tips, and this won't be anything fast, I just wanted to know if this was worth putting effort into. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 07:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Good idea CFCF. I agree, it is very confusing having this situation. We could start by rolling some of the smaller ones in. While we are talking about infoboxes, some other changes I'd like to see are:
- Insert a 'Greek' paremeter so we have the two relevant base languages
- Separate content into 'identifiers' (Gray's anatomy, TA) and 'Details' (origin, insertion, ...) and possibly external resources too.
- Remove the colouring of artery/vein, as it's distracting and confusing to have so many colours (eg when a structure has artery/vein/lymph/nerve all coloured)
- Merge into a single infobox
- Have links to the relevant 'Anatomical terminology' displayed relevant to the type of box.
I think there are two main reasons for the existing infoboxes. (1) is to separate out different things, eg for categorisation (2) is because of the unique 'action' parameter for each box (muscle movement, etc). I think we could have a general 'function' parameter that holds this information. I actually created a template here User:LT910001/sandbox/Infobox demonstration to test some things out, the 'mnemonic' parameter is by no means one I feel should be included in an infobox that's used, feel free to play around. --Tom (LT) (talk) 06:58, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Cool, I'll take a look – and as for categorization, it is possible to do this with a parameter as well.
- As for the Greek parameter, I've already added that about a week ago at Template:Infobox anatomy, and if we merge them it will be present in all of the infoboxes– for uses see Heart, Spleen, Abdomen.
- It would be possible to simple have an atlas field and use it to link to templates.
- Interesting you say that, I would have thought that to be the major factor behind actually using the templates, but I don't really find them all that useful either, and they aren't present in all the derivation of the infoboxes either.
- Once I get a hang of the if-code that is needed this won't be that hard to implement either, it would all be down to the new class= parameter.
- -- -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 07:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Merging 11 templates seems very nice idea. Without loss of information for readers, we can get easier maintainable infobox. --Was a bee (talk) 18:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Why need to classify within anatomy?
Allow me. Why need for your parameter |class=bone
in new {{anatomy}}?
If you prepare well, you can avoid this requirement. It requires removing double parameter meaning (in those 11).
For example. In {{infobox bone}} there is |Articulations=
. Let's assume (for argument, & fun) that {{Infobox brain}} has this parameter too. One better resolve this contradiction within anatomy, before requiring a "class=" parameter. So, best aim at: no |class=
requirement at all. -DePiep (talk) 00:01, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well this would lose us the benefit of applying categories through the templates. While I don't think this is a specially good solution, it would be quite a lot of work to reclassify everything. Then again, much is being reclassified through the rater tool anyway, but those parameters aren't really the same. There we have gross anatomy and embryology, but nothing like bone or muscle. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 10:49, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Human_eye#Additional_images
See the templates in additional images. I like that these templates are information-dense, and they are probably quite useful to users. However I am always unsure as to where to place them, because a number of these labelled templates are huge, which I presume interferes with readability, particularly on mobile devices. Does anyone have any ideas about how we could display the content better? (perhaps by including an 'expand' button? eg 'Labelled diagram of the eye, expand to see in more detail'). This might just be a problem in my mind, but I've seen a few of these templates and am wondering about how they impact dislay/readability. Would like to know what other users think, --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- I personally don't like the policy saying that things shouldn't be hidden. If it was possible to have a button which swapped between these two I think that would be great:
