[edit] Category:Historical medical landmarks in Boston

Category:Historical medical landmarks in Boston, which you created, has been nominated for renaming. You are invited to participate in the discussion located here. – Black Falcon (Talk) 02:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Historical medical landmarks

Thanks for your invitation. I'm interested in helping you, but I have two issues. The first is that I'm not sure your category is correctly named. In English, a monument is something like a plaque, statue, or something similar. For example, the plaque in front of No. 40 Broad Street, London, is a monument to the Broad Street Cholera epidemic. The items you have in your category list seem to me to be more items and locations of historical medical importance. For example, the Edwin Smith Papyrus is an item stored at a location in New York. It's not a monument.

This is not to say that I dislike what you are doing. On the contrary, I think a category covering items and locations of historic importance by country (and state/provence/etc.) is very important. It will alert people to resources and historic information in their localities, and provide a resource for students conducting research on the medical history of their areas. So, I think you should look into renaming the category.

The second issue is more practical. I can't figure out how to add my name to the list. Your members list doesn't seem to be like a number of other projects I've joined. Can you write some instructions for me on my talk page?

[edit] Still need help joining your category

Luca,

Thank you for your reply, but it was not very helpful in showing me how to add my name to the category "Historical medical landmarks by country".

First, per your message to me, I was never attempting to edit a discussion page. Rather, I was attempting to edit a page that listed the members of your category, but it did not have a list of names, only some code that I did not understand.

So, I need you to let me know the precise code I need to use on my page in order to add the group. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I just don't understand exactly what it is I need to do.

Thanks!

[edit] History of medicine in X categories

I like the idea of what you are doing, but I must confess that I was bit confused when I saw the you had tagged the Vienna Dioscurides with "Category:History of medicine in Vienna". My first thought was "But the Vienna Dioscurides was never used in as a medical text in Vienna." It was only after digging a little that I realized that you meant things associated with medical history that are now in Vienna, not medical history that happened in Vienna. I, however am at a loss for a better name. Perhaps a note at the top of the category page would help. I would also point out Naples Dioscurides, Morgan Dioscurides, and Johnson Papyrus for your consideration. Dsmdgold (talk) 03:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikidot.com

Please do not add links to wikidot.com sites to Wikipedia. Those sites have nothing to offer that is not available many other places, and nothing on wikidot.com is trustworthy enough to be in an encyclopedia. It is not advisable to use free websites created by anonymous people as sources of information or "external links" for an encyclopedia.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 19:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
