Eswong3, you are invited to the Teahouse! edit

Hi Eswong3! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

Welcome edit
Absolutely no problem TheRibinator. Good to chat here, and your edit summary[1] was just perfect - made that completely clear (and I'd also tried to make it clear by summarizing "suggest[?]" that I wasn't certain that my edit to the draft was entirely correct). As you seem to have gathered, edit summaries in articles can be a useful avenue of communication about content, as well as an essential courtesy to let other editors know what an individual edit entails.
User page chat is also good. I see from Jebbles's user page that Rosiestep has been welcoming - an excellent contributor, who I seem to recall doesn't much care for Med stuff, haha (unlike the excellent WAID :)! I was also privileged to be welcomed by Rosiestep, back in the day, before I turned into an extra-grumpy old IP editor who switches address daily...
Anyway, I do hope you and Jebbles are having a good experience overall, and that you might perhaps like to stick around after Draft:Slipping rib syndrome goes mainspace - as it doubtless will, since you've definitely hit (not literally!) on a relevant medical topic that really needs some good coverage.
Buon lavoro to you both! 86.169.96.61 (talk) 22:43, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
- 86.169.96.61 Thank you for the kind words! It's definitely a learning curve with wikipedia, but you and the rest of the community have been so welcoming and helpful. I hope you also stick around our article as I have no doubt in my mind that you have much more experience and have been and will hopefully continue to be a great asset to us.

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia edit
Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.
Piotr Konieczny
Associate Professor
Hanyang University

Tietze syndrome GA edit
Hi. I've read through Tietze syndrome. I'm not sure I can commit enough time to a full review, so instead I'd like to just leave you with a few informal comments. Overall, the article is well written, and probably close to GA standard, but the lede has some problems that need fixing. In general, there shouldn't be anything in the lede which isn't just a condensation of what's in the main body. Some things I see which violate this include:
- first described in 1921
- swelling of the anterior chest wall
- (other conditions) frequently misdiagnosed
There may be others that I've missed. You should go through the rest of the lede to make sure there's nothing introduced there which isn't in the main body. The other thing is that you generally want to skip references in the lede, per MOS:LEADCITE, so the three that you've got should probably get moved down into the main body.
Take a look at MOS:EMBED vis-a-vis the bullet list you've got under Differential diagnosis / other and see if there's a reasonable way to reformat that as running text.
Those were the major things that stood out to me. If you could work on those, I think you'll have a head start on the formal review, whether I find time to do it, or somebody else does. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- @RoySmith Thanks for your comments. I've looked over them and have made some edits. I'll get through the rest after holiday. For now, I would like to mention that in terms of the citations in the lead, in my past article I've tended to leave citations in the lead if they are for statistical information (Slipping rib syndrome), which in this case, it is. Though, MOS:LEADCITE is not particularly specific about what should stay in the lead. I am open to removing it if you believe it doesn't belong there. I'll have to think a bit harder about the bullet pointed list and how to work with that. --TheRibinator (talk) 04:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
