Meningitis

[edit]

Hi Tara, thanks for the corrections on meningitis. Unfortunately some attempts to improve sentence flow and syntax have led to factual changes. Have a look at my last few edits and see if you agree. JFW | T@lk 12:14, 10 October 2012 (UTC) Hi, many thanks for your email. I've tried to work out which edits you are referring to but can't work it out (probably because I am new to this and am not very technologically proficient!). If you have time, do please let me know which of my edits you are referring to, as it would be really useful to know for future reference, as I tried to be really careful not to change anything factual. Many thanks, Tara TaraLatimer (talk) 18:36, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feature – Ebola articles

[edit]

During August we have translated Disease and it is now live in more than 60 different languages! To help us focus on African languages Rubric has donated a large number of articles in languages we haven't previously reached–so a shout out them, and Ian Henderson from Rubric who's joined us here at Wikipedia. We're very happy for our continued collaboration with both Rubric and Translators without Borders!

Just some of our over 60 translations:
New roles and guides!

At Wikimania there were so many enthusiastic people jumping at the chance to help out the Medical Translation Project, but unfortunately not all of them knew how to get started. That is why we've been spending considerable time writing and improving guides! They are finally live, and you can find them at our home-page!

New sign up page!

We're proud to announce a new sign up page at WP:MTSIGNUP! The old page was getting cluttered and didn't allow you to speficy a role. The new page should be easier to sign up to, and easier to navigate so that we can reach you when you're needed!

Style guides for translations

Translations are of both full articles and shorter articles continues. The process where short articles are chosen for translation hasn't been fully transparent. In the coming months we hope to have a first guide, so that anyone who writes medical or health articles knows how to get their articles to a standard where they can be translated! That's why we're currently working on medical good lede criteria! The idea is to have a similar peer review process to good article nominations, but only for ledes.
