Wikipedia talk:MeSH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My last edit was not an error. These pages are of little use because the handful of requests are spread across dozens of pages. There is also a great deal of duplication in the requests. It would be most useful to consolidate all the missing subjects on this one page. Other pages, such as Wikipedia:MeSH Z01, contain nothing but redlinks which should never become articles and would be useless as redirects. - SimonP 12:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Adding a list of 212 red links at the top of a page is very disruptive. I disagree that "it would most useful to consolidate all the missing subjects on this one page", but if you wanted to create a new page to serve that purpose, I won't stand in your way. If you feel that pages like Wikipedia:MeSH Z01 shouldn't exist, the proper place to initiate that discussion would be at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. --Arcadian 13:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actually, this was useful!

I was researching central retinal vein and followed "what links here" for retinal vein and found Wikipedia:MeSH_A07, which lists the MeSH entry for retinal vein, and this confirmed what I had found elsewhere "Central retinal vein and its tributaries. It runs a short course within the optic nerve and then leaves and empties into the superior ophthalmic vein or cavernous sinus". Thanks for this! Now I have to work out how to incorporate MeSH numbers into an article... Carcharoth 00:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
