Category:Historical medical landmarks in Boston

Category:Historical medical landmarks in Boston, which you created, has been nominated for renaming. You are invited to participate in the discussion located here. – Black Falcon ^(Talk) 02:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Historical medical landmarks

Thanks for your invitation. I'm interested in helping you, but I have two issues. The first is that I'm not sure your category is correctly named. In English, a monument is something like a plaque, statue, or something similar. For example, the plaque in front of No. 40 Broad Street, London, is a monument to the Broad Street Cholera epidemic. The items you have in your category list seem to me to be more items and locations of historical medical importance. For example, the Edwin Smith Papyrus is an item stored at a location in New York. It's not a monument.

This is not to say that I dislike what you are doing. On the contrary, I think a category covering items and locations of historic importance by country (and state/provence/etc.) is very important. It will alert people to resources and historic information in their localities, and provide a resource for students conducting research on the medical history of their areas. So, I think you should look into renaming the category.

The second issue is more practical. I can't figure out how to add my name to the list. Your members list doesn't seem to be like a number of other projects I've joined. Can you write some instructions for me on my talk page?

Still need help joining your category

Luca,

Thank you for your reply, but it was not very helpful in showing me how to add my name to the category "Historical medical landmarks by country".

First, per your message to me, I was never attempting to edit a discussion page. Rather, I was attempting to edit a page that listed the members of your category, but it did not have a list of names, only some code that I did not understand.

So, I need you to let me know the precise code I need to use on my page in order to add the group. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I just don't understand exactly what it is I need to do.

Thanks!

History of medicine in X categories

I like the idea of what you are doing, but I must confess that I was bit confused when I saw the you had tagged the Vienna Dioscurides with "Category:History of medicine in Vienna". My first thought was "But the Vienna Dioscurides was never used in as a medical text in Vienna." It was only after digging a little that I realized that you meant things associated with medical history that are now in Vienna, not medical history that happened in Vienna. I, however am at a loss for a better name. Perhaps a note at the top of the category page would help. I would also point out Naples Dioscurides, Morgan Dioscurides, and Johnson Papyrus for your consideration. Dsmdgold (talk) 03:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidot.com

Please do not add links to wikidot.com sites to Wikipedia. Those sites have nothing to offer that is not available many other places, and nothing on wikidot.com is trustworthy enough to be in an encyclopedia. It is not advisable to use free websites created by anonymous people as sources of information or "external links" for an encyclopedia.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 19:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sarah Elizabeth Wardroper

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sarah Elizabeth Wardroper requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ~ ⇒TomTom N00 @ 09:42, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Guido Baccelli, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vatican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Luca Borghi, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Odile Schweisguth has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Silvia Mazzieri (March 25)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Silvia Mazzieri 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. Please go to Draft:Silvia Mazzieri, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
