WP:MED News

  • Asthma, HIV/AIDS and Meningitis are all in need of some tender love and care, with a median source date between 2008 and 2011. Many clinical guidelines note changes from earlier versions, so updating diagnosis and management sections may be doable even if you have less time on your hand.
  • Interested in which articles were most edited recently? That feature is back after a year hiatus. Recently, the Discussion overview stopped working. Can you help get it fixed or replace it?
  • Excited about the Vital Signs campaign? Sign up as an organiser or participant!

Hello, and welcome to the December newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since September. If you'd like to be notified of upcoming drives and blitzes, and other GOCE activities, the best method is to add our announcements box to your watchlist.

Election news: The Guild's coordinators play an important role in the WikiProject, making sure nearly everything runs smoothly and on time. Editors experienced in drives or blitzes and in good standing (unblocked and without sanctions) are invited to nominate themselves or another editor (with their permission, of course) to be a Guild coordinator until 23:59 on 15 December (UTC). The voting phase begins at 00:01 on 16 December and runs until 23:59 on 31 December. Questions may be asked of candidates at any stage in the process. Elected coordinators will serve a six-month term from 1 January through 30 June 2026.

September Drive: 43 of the 63 editors who signed up for the September Backlog Elimination Drive edited 693,541 words in 265 articles. Barnstars awarded are here.

Progress report: As of 01:49, 8 December 2025 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have completed 293 requests since 1 January, and the backlog of tagged articles stands at 1,730 articles.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, GoldRomean, Miniapolis and Mox Eden.

We've already started, come see! Check out the new navigational Template:Amateur radio topics!

Feel free to invite new members personally or through public postings! Sinucep (talk) 23:37, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
