Your article Homeopathy looks at the horrors of Allopathy

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Homeopathy looks at the horrors of Allopathy to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you. Largoplazo (talk) 13:51, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, come on, show me one Russian word (except for sources). It's a passable English. And then you complain that there's no new contributors...--Victoria (talk) 14:15, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester meetup 36 - 9 June 2019

As you attended one of the previous two Manchester meetups and/or expressed an interest in being notified about future ones, this is a heads-up that I have started organising a meetup in Manchester on 9 June 2019 - details are at m:Meetup/Manchester/36. Please feel free to invite others with an interest in Wikimedia/Wikipedia to join us. Thryduulf (talk) 23:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Full details are on the Meta page at m:Meetup/Manchester/36.

Hi Diannaa,

I added text from the title page of the book published in 1799, what copyright we are talking about? Victoria (talk) 13:15, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"...aims to bring together the cream of longevity techniques from various schools. It juxtaposes text and illustration, and provides information on drugs to be used in conjunction with gymnastic practices" from here. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:20, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is in the description of the file on Wikimedia Commons, which is also released under the free licence. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.--Victoria (talk) 13:27, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I inserted the image into this topic, so it's easy to find.--Victoria (talk) 13:29, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Wellcome website is compatibly licensed, so the caption is okay to keep. I have reversed my actions and added a citation and an attribution template. When copying prose in the future please say where it came from so that the proper attribution can be included where appropriate. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, will do. Victoria (talk) 07:25, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marble, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dolomite. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Question regarding edits on Analytical chemistry

Hi—I'm a bit confused about how you made the references that you added in these edits. Many of these citations are completely wrong—"Modern Instrumental Analysis" is in volume 47, not volume 8, Modern Instrumental Analysis is a book, and not published in Separation Science and Technology, Analytical Chemistry has an incorrect ISBN and multiple incorrect authors, "Spectroscopy" is a chapter in Basic Biotechniques for Bioprocess and Bioentrepreneurship, not Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry, "Ionization Methods" is not in Dalton Transactions but in the Journal of Mass Spectrometry, is not volume 47 but volume 53, not issue 40 but issue 10, it certainly is not in the page range of 14124–14138, and it has an incorrect DOI. There are still more citations that are clearly invalid.

I can see that you are clearly a good faith editor, and I want to thank you for contributing, but I'm seriously concerned by these edits. Did you actually check that these sources applied to the statements you added them for? Did you rely on ChatGPT or another LLM to generate these citations? Perryprog (talk) 16:22, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now looking at some of your other edits and I'm even more concerned. In this batch, you cite Bunn's "Hemoglobin: Molecular, Genetic and Clinical Aspects" as if it were a journal entry in this issue on pages 320–326 which is obviously not possible, and it's even less possible because this is a book from 1986. And in two citations from that, you cite something called "Methemoglobinemia resulting from exposure to nitrates and nitrites" in volume 59 issue 6 of Clinical Toxicology, but from what I can tell not only is that the wrong journal, I can't find anything with this title. Please explain what I'm missing. Perryprog (talk) 19:01, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

Thank you for your questions. You are right - I use LLM to find the citations. And I check them, but as I see now not well enough so some are incorrect, sorry about that.

How about I go through all the citations I added, check and correct or remove them if there's something wrong?

Alternatively, you can just roll back everything.

Please let me know what you decide. Victoria (talk) 09:14, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're an experienced Wikipedia—I trust that you'll repair them. Hopefully you understand where my frustration was coming from. Just please make sure you look over all the edits, and that the statements you made are backed up by the sources. Perryprog (talk) 15:18, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, will do. I'm pleasantly surprised by your friendliness as my encounter with as admin above did not go well. Victoria (talk) 08:27, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join the Vital Signs campaign

Hello! I saw you add yourself as a participant to the WP:WikiProject Medicine last summer. I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign, where we're aiming to improve all of our 100 top-importance articles. I saw you're interested in infectious diseases, which features heavily on the list (gynaecology less so at the moment).

I'd also like to invite you to add yourself to the newsletter mailing list if you'd like to stay up-to-date with the group. Finally, did you know we have a Collaboration of the Month? Great place to work together on some of these key articles. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:37, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you you for reaching out, I'll try to take part

I've added my name to the mailing list.

No, I didn't know about the Collaboration of the Month, will check. Victoria (talk) 12:45, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - January 2026

Issue 26—January 2026

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Happy New Year from WikiProject Medicine. Last year was tumultuous, with large language models competing for readers’ attention. These models often sound authoritative despite frequent hallucinations. They are however effective at writing in clear, accessible language, something research shows we often fail to achieve in medical articles. One of the goals of the Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to ensure that our top-importance articles are understandable, as this is one of the six B-class criteria they should meet.

**Recent recognized content**
Polycystic ovary syndrome nom. Femke, reviewed by DoctorWhoFan91 and IntentionallyDense Anne Bayley nom. Dclemens1971, reviewed by Actual7 Abortion in Mauritius nom. Vigilantcosmicpenguin, reviewed by Thebiguglyalien O'Donnell-Luria–Rodan syndrome nom Strange Orange, reviewed by IntentionallyDense

**Nominated for review**

WP:MED News

2025 saw one Arbitration case related to WikiProject Medicine, related to conduct around transgender healthcare and people. The case saw a number of editors banned or topic-banned.
Thanks to Earwig, recent article talk discussions are updated again at WP:MED, so you never miss an interesting discussion. Our participant list is working too!
The Vital Signs campaign has kicked off. We've already removed misinformation from breast cancer, updated the management section of asthma, and assessed what needs to happen at autism. Can you help too?
- Adopt an article, fix obvious mistakes, and assess if it now meets the B-class criteria in the progress table
- Help out with any of the smaller tasks, such as ensuring that the new ICD-11 codes are included, or updated the disease frequency and mortality with the Global Burden of Disease study, published last October.

Newsletter ideas, comments, and criticisms welcome.
