General Reader Summary

See notes at Village Pump Proposal

The quality of articles on Wikipedia is tremendous in both spread and depth BUT there are often occasions where I need to show my son simplified one-page or maximum two-page summations. Is this a gap in the Wiki system which needs to be filled ? 29/08/11 Nojoking (talk) 13:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

General Reader Summary Abortion Example

!!!! This version has lost the wikilinks, references and formatting - these will be rebuilt asap; there about 880 words and my preference would be about 750 words. !!!!

NOTE – as well as the main article, there a number of subsidiary articles.
Abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy at any stage that does not result in birth; medically, abortion is typically defined as the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo before fetal viability.[note 1]

An abortion can occur spontaneously, in which case it is usually called a miscarriage, or it can be purposely induced. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy.

Abortion, when induced in the developed world in accordance with local law, is among the safest procedures in medicine.[1] Induced abortion has a long history and has been facilitated by various methods including herbal abortifacients, the use of sharpened tools, physical trauma, and other traditional methods. Contemporary medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures to induce abortion.

=== Numbers ===

Approximately 205 million pregnancies occur each year worldwide. Over a third are unintended (70m) and about a fifth end in induced abortion (42m) .[5] with 20 million of those performed unsafely.[2] These unsafe abortions (those performed by persons without proper training or outside of a medical environment) result in approximately 70 thousand maternal deaths and 5 million disabilities per year globally.[2]

Most abortions result from unintended pregnancies.[6] A pregnancy can be intentionally aborted in several ways. The manner selected often depends upon the gestational age of the embryo or fetus,[7] which increases in size as the pregnancy progresses.[8] Specific procedures may also be selected due to legality, regional availability, and doctor or patient preference.

Sixty percent of the world's women are not able to access therapeutic and elective abortions before 20 weeks.[3] The incidence of abortion has declined worldwide as access to family planning education and contraceptive services has increased.[4]

Reasons for procuring induced abortions are typically characterized as either therapeutic or elective.

Therapeutic abortion is when the abortion is performed to save the life of the pregnant woman; prevent harm to the woman's physical or mental health; terminate a pregnancy where indications are that the child will have a significantly increased chance of premature morbidity or mortality or be otherwise disabled; or to selectively reduce the number of fetuses to lessen health risks associated with multiple pregnancy.[9][10]

Elective or voluntary abortion is when the abortion is performed at the request of the woman or for non-medical reasons.[10]

=== Terminology by length of Gestation ===
Only 30 to 50% of conceptions progress past the first trimester.[13] The vast majority of those that do not progress are lost before the woman is aware of the conception,[10] coloquially referred to as a ‘late period’ and many pregnancies are lost before medical practitioners have the ability to detect the presence of an embryo.[14] Between 15% and 30% of known pregnancies end in clinically apparent miscarriage, depending upon the age and health of the pregnant woman.[15]. The most common cause of spontaneous abortion during the first trimester is chromosomal abnormalities of the embryo/fetus,[10][16] accounting for at least 50% of sampled early pregnancy losses.[17]

Miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is the unintentional or even unknowing expulsion of an embryo or fetus before the 20th to 22nd week of gestation.[note 2]

"Premature birth" or a "preterm birth".[11] -a pregnancy that ends before 37 weeks of gestation resulting in a live-born infant.

"Stillborn".[12] – is when a fetus dies in utero after viability, or during delivery.

=== Laws and Debate ===

Current laws pertaining to abortion are diverse. Religious, moral, and cultural sensibilities continue to influence abortion laws throughout the world. The right to life, the right to liberty, the right to security of person, and the right to reproductive health are major issues of human rights that are sometimes used as justification for the existence or absence of laws controlling abortion.

The legality, prevalence, cultural and religious status of abortion vary substantially around the world. In many parts of the world there is prominent and divisive public controversy over the ethical and legal issues of abortion. Abortion and abortion-related issues feature prominently in the national politics of many nations.

Induced abortion has long been the source of considerable heated debate, controversy, and activism. An individual's position on the complex ethical, moral, philosophical, biological, and legal issues is often related to his or her value system.
Opinions of abortion may be described as being a combination of beliefs on its morality; beliefs on the responsibility, ethical scope, and proper extent of governmental authorities in public policy; and on the rights and responsibilities of the woman seeking to have an abortion. Religious ethics also has an influence upon both personal opinion and the greater debate over abortion.

In both public and private debate, arguments are often spearheaded by worldwide social movements advocating one of these two positions - frequently referred to as being pro-life and pro-choice (both self-named).

The Pro-life i.e “For the Baby’s Life” proponents are in favor of greater legal restrictions on, or even complete prohibition of abortion. They argue that a human fetus has a right to live, making abortion morally the same as murder.

The Pro-choice “For the Choice of the Woman”. group are against legal restrictions on abortion. They argue that a woman has certain reproductive rights, especially the choice whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term.

You copied content form http://www.ukfoodguide.net/e300.htm Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I thought that acknowledging the reference and using a relatively brief extract would be sufficient - how long an extract would pass ? I accept that I have to rewrite the text but the original is probably better phrased than a rewrite!! noJ

No you must paraphrase per [[1]] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:40, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm KingAndGod. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Thomas Aquinas, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. KingAndGod 19:03, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your revisions on LGBT

Hi, I’m Interqwark (talk), and I noticed that your recent contributions to the LGBT article were unsourced. All content on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, especially if it is potentially controversial. Additionally, I noticed that you marked your revisions as minor edits even though you added and changed content. WP:YESMINOR says that a minor edit is a revision with spelling, grammatical, or punctuation changes, simple formatting changes, obvious factual errors, etc., and WP:NOTMINOR says not to mark a revision that adds or removes content in an article as a minor edit.

I hope you keep this in mind in the future and continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Thank you! Interqwark ^{talk contribs} 01:41, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Monkland, Herefordshire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conches. 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.)

December 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Template:Book rationale. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Johand^{199 (Talk)} 22:02, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

There were 3 truly meaningless sections added to 'Nativity of Jesus' - they should be removed by an authorised person.

Parish Council wish for BOTH churches to be included (Monkland and then Stretford) - I can't see how to do it. Nojoking (talk) 20:45, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Signing in articles

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to Welsh units. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on talk pages or project pages such as the Teahouse. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 21:19, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
