From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to the WikiProject Medicine. The purpose of this project is to help editors assess and prioritize medical articles on Wikipedia. Category:Medicine is a broad field; while there are always articles that need improvement, there are some for which it is especially important to write a high-quality article. Both preclinical and clinical topics are welcome here. Feel free to add your assessment of unrated articles, and to update the status of articles that have improved (or degenerated). You may even create your own list, although it's probably best to bring it up on the talk page. Thanks to WikiProject Chemicals and WikiProject Anti-war for inspiration.
This project aims to assist with prioritization and collaboration (it also hosts the Medicine Collaboration of the Week). It is the "parent" of two WikiProjects, WikiProject Clinical medicine and WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. Guidelines for and discussions of relevant articles can be found at those projects, and at the IRC Channel

Erdheim-Chester disease |
I took this page from a stub to something with at least some information, however a lot of work needs to be done. Any help would be much appreciated. JE.at.UWOU|T 06:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC) |

Holoprosencephaly |
This article needs more work, and currently has a riduculous bit on a cyclopic kitten, which managed to express amazement at what is a defect possible in all mammals.213.48.73.94 12:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC) |

Uranium#Hazards, Depleted uranium, Gulf War syndrome, Uranium trioxide |
Pro-military types constantly censor these articles, and fight with those who try to expand them. Talk:Uranium#Hazards has an unapologetic version of the text currently at Uranium#Hazards. Talk:Depleted uranium#Comparison of the two versions contains a comparison of the current version of Depleted uranium with a recent major revision which replaced a lot of what some people had been taking out of it over the past several months. Please keep an eye on them and be bold in reverting the military censors. |

Templates are in place asking for work to be done to address neutrality issues and to improve the tone to that of a formal encyclopedia. Sourcing statements is also required. (I have left the editor slot blank-looking for volunteers/"coworkers" since I am new to this wikiproject) Markovich292 22:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC) |

Recent edit makes some rather specific claims of medical technology (skin grafts, vaccination) that, if accurate, should be expanded upon and, if not, should be removed. |
