	== Life Update - Wikimedia paid admins suggestion ==

	Well, it's been 10 months since I've made an edit. I'm doing better, mentally at least. I moved out of my old apartment with toxic black mold (]) and 2milligauss of background powerline radiation into a quieter yet livelier community. My health ain't great but at least my mental state is better.

	I'm not sure I really ''want'' to spent most of my spare time "Wikipeding" like I used to. My enthusiasm for the Project has waned. I view Wikimedia Corp. as a "for-profit non-profit". The "product" is the encyclopedia and the buyers are the search engine companies (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc.). The "workers" are all unpaid volunteers, who often pour their heart and soul into The Project.

	Last I looked, Wikimedia was making $10M profit. That would be enough to pay it's admins (many of whom are retired or on disability or otherwise low income) minimum/living wage for the most important (and tedious functions) such as Vandal Patrol and other admin functions. Just an idea. Any suggestions? - ] (]) 04:56, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

	*Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: ], ] ('']''), ], ], ], etc.

	I've (''{{U\|CFCF}}'') taken on the role of ''community organizer'' for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found '']'', and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by '']'' or on my '']''.

	;Wikimania 2014
	For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See , which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.

	;Integration progress
	There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Misplaced Pages presence, such as ], ], and ]. <br>What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not ] (],],],]) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.

	*Swedish<br>Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: , . The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and 💕 of medical content. We want Misplaced Pages to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.<br>Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
	*Dutch<br>Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Misplaced Pages is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: '']''.
	*Polish<br>Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Misplaced Pages has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Misplaced Pages does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.<br> (''This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned - to be released''). - '']''
	*Arabic<br>The Arabic Misplaced Pages community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Misplaced Pages facebook-groups: , something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.

	;Integration guides
	Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.

Hello! Welcome to my talk page!

Please feel free to to leave me a message, whether it's informing me of something
I screwed up, just to say hello, or anything else! I won't bite!

I have a few requests that I hope you'll respect while posting here:

First and above all, be civil.
- If you don't agree with an action I made—be it reverted you and left a warning, marked your page for deletion, or anything else—please be calm and polite. I am a reasonable man, and we'll straighten it out a lot quicker without screaming and name calling.
Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)
Please start new conversations at the bottom.
I generally like to keep conversations together.
- If you post here, I'll reply here and leave you a message informing you of my reply.
- If I leave you a message on your talk page, I'll keep watching it, but if you want to make sure I notice it quickly, leave me a {{talkback}} template (although not necessary).
  - I always keep conversations together. If we separate the messages, no big deal, I'll probably go back and cross post here.

Since that is out of the way, please click here and leave a message!
