- Thank you! I do have a question: How do we insert hidden text in articles? The new Wikipedia formatting doesn't seem to have it. And I checked your account page, and I am really impressed! Did you get my username from the WikiProjects I recently added myself to?--DSbanker (talk) 14:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Your opinion is wanted[edit]
Please provide your input here on the legitimacy and desirability of accepting external links in relevant Wikipedia articles to MedMerits, a new and freely accessible online resource on neurologic disorders. Presto54 (talk) 08:00, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
New medical organization[edit]
Hi
I'm contacting you because, as a participant at Wikiproject Medicine, you may be interested in a new multinational non-profit organization we're forming at m:Wikimedia Medicine. Even if you don't want to be actively involved, any ideas you may have about our structure and aims would be very welcome on the project's talk page.
Our purpose is to help improve the range and quality of free online medical content, and we'll be working with like-minded organizations, such as the World Health Organization, professional and scholarly societies, medical schools, governments and NGOs - including Translators Without Borders.
Hope to see you there! --Anthonyhcole (talk) 07:42, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)[edit]
 | The Wikipedia Library (talk | edit) Research tools and services Outreach Get involved  ...Support Open Access...  |
The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.
- Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
- Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
- If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
