Is semi-retired a form of protest?Eschoryii (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi
The sockpuppetmaster Linde Place clearly has another account at Frontier Place. It is obvious that they are the same person from their contributions, and they are doing a lot of editing without many sources or explanations, but not crystal clear vandalism. I'm pretty new to Wiki-editing, so I don't know whether you're allowed to have an account after sockpuppeting, or whether you already know about this, but I thought I should err on the side of vigilance. Should I do this again in the future, i.e. post on the talk page of someone involved in a sockpuppet investigation if I come across an account that I think belongs to the puppetmaster?
All help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

FYI. I mentioned your WP:READABLE essay here: Wikipedia:Teahouse#Shouldn't_our_math_(and_other_highly_technical)_articles_be_accessible_to_non-experts? (permalink). Thanks for writing that. Are there relevant discussions? I think this kind of things should rise to the level of guideline or even policy. That's just my opinion of course. --David Tornheim (talk) 21:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi CFCF. I've noticed that you've been away, and I want to tell you that you are missed and there are lots of editors who appreciate the good that you have done. WP can be a nasty place, and it can be ridiculously unfair. I hope that you take as much time away as you need, but that when you are ready, you will be welcomed back. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:37, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
I agree. I particularly miss working with you on our anatomy articles. We've had some great articles that we've developed together, like heart, cranial nerves and adrenal gland amongst others. I look forward to collaborating again if you come back and would like to :). --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Thirded. The outcome did seem harsh on you, though I think most WPians who've been around the block know to take arbcom findings with a grain of salt, especially given that NYB and Cas recused. I hope you're enjoying the break, and will be glad to see you back if/when you're ready. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 04:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:BioOne logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

This is going to seem like a bit of a blast from the past, but I just wanted to ask if you are still in contact with the people who did the translation for the page Tripanosomiasis_africana? I think there might be something lost in translation. The K'iche' has『We yabʼilal sibʼalaj kayaʼtaj pa jujun taq rulewal rech África Subsahariana, kʼo kʼaxkʼolil chi kij we e winaq le kajawataj 70 millones de dolares pa 36 amaqʼ.』(70 million dollars in 36 countries), while the English original had "The disease occurs regularly in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa with the population at risk being about 70 million in 36 countries." I suspect that there might have been some confusion with the "70 million". Anyway, I realise that this is a long shot, but thought I would bring it up. I have been linguistically annotating the text for a K'iche' project I have been working on. Thanks for your contribution! - Francis Tyers · 05:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Carl,
I am relatively new to Wikipedia writing. I wrote the article for the Dynamic-maturational model of attachment and adaptation (DMM). I am also familiar with Interpersonal neurobiology, Polyvagal theory, and some other models describing human functioning from a complex systems approach. All of these can be described as biopsychosocial (BPS) models. Some practitioners use that phrase, others use words in a wide variety of mixtures. The words can include mind, body, brain, relationship, environment, physio, etc.
I don't know if Engel was the first to coin BPS, but is an excellent generic phrase used by others as such. The use of the BPS term on the Narcissistic personality disorder page may be an example.
I imagine there are many similar phrases with the same problem. Two I am aware of are attachment parenting and positive discipline. These describe a specific model developed by a single person, but also offer a functional and descriptive generic phrase which can be expanded beyond the specific model. I don't know how this is handled in other Wikipedia pages.
I wonder how best to connect the various BPS models in a Wikipedia page so we could see all of them in one place? Could the BPS page be structured to refer to Engel's theory, put his theory in context, and then include other BPS theories?

Released September 2020 · Previous newsletter
Hello WikiProject Anatomy participant! This is our seventh newsletter, documenting what's going on in WikiProject Anatomy, news, current projects and other items of interest.
I value feedback, and if you think I've missed something, or don't wish to receive this again, please leave a note on my talk page, or remove your name from the mailing list.
Yours truly, --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:24, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

new good articles since last newsletter include Epiglottis, Human nose, Pancreas, Prostate, Thymus, Trachea, T tubule, Ureter and Vagina, with Anatomical terms of location also awaiting review |
 |
A made-up eponymous term is used in our article that eventually makes it in to university anatomy teaching slides and a journal article |
 |
We reach a project goal of 150 B-class articles in July 2020, increasing by about 50% over five years, and are one good article away from our goal of 40 GAs, doubling over the last five years |
 |
In the real world, Terminologia Anatomica 2 and Terminologia Embryologica 2 are released ([1], [2]). Terminologia Anatomica 2 is now included in anatomy article infoboxes, and there is ongoing discussion about updating TE as well |
 |
A beautiful new barnstar is released ({{subst:The Anatomist Barnstar}}) |
 |
Portal:Anatomy receives some attention, and two related portals are deleted (vale Human body and Cranial nerve portals) |
 |
Some things left out from past newsletters - A large amount of redirects are created to help link plural structures, and Cerebellum ([3]) and Hippocampus ([4]) are published in Wikiversity. |
I have been asked to write up something introducing the Featured article (FA) process to anatomy editors, but I took a more general approach to explaining why one might want to contribute featured content and the benefits to the editor and to Wikipedia. I also tried to address some misconceptions about the FA process, and give you a guide that is somewhat specific to health content should you decide to take the dive.
A vital purpose of Featured articles is to serve as examples for new and aspiring Wikipedia editors. FAs are often uniquely comprehensive for the Internet. They showcase some of our best articles, and can enhance Wikipedia's reputation if they are maintained to standard—but in an "anyone can edit" environment, they can easily fall out of standard if not maintained. Benefits to the writer include developing collaborative partnerships and learning new skills, while improving your writing and seeing it exposed to a broader audience—all that Wikipedia is about!
Looking more specifically at WP Anatomy's featured content, the Featured media is impressive and seems to be an Anatomy Project strength. The Anatomy WikiProject has tagged 4 FAs, 1 Featured list, and 30 Featured media. Working towards upgrading and maintaining older Featured articles could be a worthwhile goal. Immune system is a 2007 FA promotion, and bringing it up to date would make a nice collaboration between WikiProject Medicine and the Anatomy WikiProject. Hippocampus is another dated promotion that is almost 50% larger than when promoted, having taken on a bit of uncited text and new text that might benefit from a tune-up.
Whether tuning up an older FA at Featured article review, or attempting a new one to be reviewed at Featured article candidates, taking the plunge can be rewarding, and I hope the advice in my essay is helpful.
You can read the essay "Achieving excellence through featured content" here.
