Five Pillars of Wikipedia edit

Summary of the Five Pillars edit

  1. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. It is a living reference work that includes articles and entries.
  2. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. Be mindful to choose words that are not biased.
  3. Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit, use, modify, and distribute. You do not own your article and anyone can feel free to edit it.
  4. Editors should treat each other with respect and civility. Be respectful to your fellow Wikipedians!
  5. Wikipedia does not have firm rules. When contributing, do what you think is sensible, in a thoughtful and polite way. [1]

Summary of characteristics of target article edit

  1. Article is professional, well-researched, and a source for encyclopedic information.
  2. Attention should be paid to content and style, and in compliance with the Manual of Style. Tone should be neutral.
  3. Take advantage of peer review process and incorporate suggestions as needed.
  4. Article may include supporting materials, such as media, pictures and graphs.
  5. Inline citations from reliable sources are used whenever necessary.
  6. The article should be well organized, clear and concise and as complete as possible.

Students will choose an article that has a "stub" classification. Goal for quality level for this project is between a B and a GA. [2]

Citation Practice edit

Yoga for Breast Cancer Survivors edit

Although it is not a cure for cancer, yoga may be a practice that enhances mood and reduces inflammation and fatigue in breast cancer survivors. Yoga, meaning to yoke or join the mind and body, is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that has existed since 500-200BCE [3]. It is thought that a yoga practice that is tailored to individuals who have functional limitations may be beneficial and was therefore appealing to researchers at Ohio State University. In a randomized controlled 3-month trial, 200 breast cancer survivors were assigned to either a 90-minute yoga class for two times a week, or a wait-list group[4]. Results of this study indicated that those participants assigned to the yoga group experienced greater vitality, but no less fatigue, than the wait-list group. The impact of more frequent yoga classes showed larger changes in decreased fatigue and increased vitality, as well as decreased proinflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β[4].

A systematic review and meta-analysis of yoga for breast cancer survivors was completed in 2012 by the Chair of the Complementary and Integrative Medicine at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Essen, Germany. This review of 12 randomized clinical trials showed positive short-term effects on quality of life, in addition to spiritual, functional and social well-being [5]. As depression and anxiety are quite commonly experienced in breast cancer patients and survivors, yoga may be one possible recommendation for the improvement psychological health.

Available at http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/11/12/4393.short Researchers assessed the effect of chromosome 17 copy number on HER-2/neu status determination in breast cancers. Conclusion: A net increase in HER-2/neu gene copy number consecutive to polysomy 17 in the absence of specific gene amplification might lead to a strong protein overexpression in a small subset of breast carcinomas. HER-2/neu status determination by FISH is dependent on the criterion considered for positivity in clinical practice.
