Every week, a Medicine Collaboration of the Week will be selected using this page. The article may or may not yet exist. The topics may either relate to medical basic sciences (anatomy, biochemistry, and so on), or clinical medicine (illnesses, surgical procedures, and so on). The aim is to have a featured-standard article by the end of the period through widespread cooperative editing. This collaboration is part of the WikiProject Preclinical Medicine and WikiProject Clinical medicine.

The project aims to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate and vote on articles (see Voting below). This collaboration uses approval voting. You do not have to be involved in the field of medicine to participate; the opinion of laypeople is valued both for article suggestions and to help ensure that articles are not too technical. New articles will be selected every Wednesday (see the record of previous collaborations). This collaboration is still new; rules may change or be bent as we find our footing.

For individuals wishing to notify others of articles being created or for which they seeking collaborators, or ask for completed pages to be peer-reviewed, please see WikiProject Clinical medicine/Collaboration.

Voting

Please vote in favor of as many candidates as you like; oppose votes have no effect (approval voting is used). Any registered user may vote for an article, provided that account's first edit occurred before the nomination. You do not have to have any special knowledge of medicine to nominate or vote for an article. To vote for an article, simply edit the appropriate section and add # ~~~~. If you believe that a topic does not fall within the scope of this project, please mention your objections in the "Comments" section. Every Wednesday, the article currently with the most votes will be selected to be the new collaboration, although collaborations may be extended from time to time (for instance, during featured article candidacy). In the case of a tie, the article nominated first will be selected. Articles not selected must receive at least two votes per week to remain in consideration. If a nomination fails to achieve sufficient votes, it may be renominated after at least two weeks. You may wish to see the archive of successful nominations.

Nominated at 12:54, 3 August 2006 (ACST)

This is a very lonely stub that would no doubt be far better populated in a paper-based encyclopaedia.

  1. Extremely common issue/major medical topic that deserves appropriate attention. -Rj101 03:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Medical research

Nominated at 22:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC); if not selected by 22 August 2006, needs 2 votes to remain in consideration.

This should be a well-developed, high level article on the topic. Unfortunately right now it has not been significantly developed. There's plenty of potential for sections on history and ethics.

Food allergy

Nominated at 08:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC); if not selected by 28 August 2006, needs 2 votes to remain in consideration.

An article that is probably accessed by many readers with concerns about reactions to food. It is in Gastroenterology and Immunology categories, and yet is in very poor shape as it duplicates or contradicts information on the Allergy article and needs thorough referencing.
