User talk:Sarah

Welcome to Libre Pathology!

I see you have already made an edit and managed to insert a reference.

A few useful pages:

• Help:How to edit - describes the wiki mark-up.
• Format - describes the format of the site.
• References - describes how references are done quickly -- now fixed.
• LP:Sandbox - a place to try edits.

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages and Discussion pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. I look forward to more of your edits. Again, welcome! Michael (talk) 11:34, 3 August 2014 (EDT)

Creating a new page & other things

To create a new page

1. Enter the name of the page in the search box at the top right
2. Hit return
3. Click "Create" (it appears at the top-- if one is logged in)

A couple of different ways are described here.

Adding a photo

[[Image: name of the image | thumb | A caption.]]

File uploads on the site are currently disabled-- but any file uploaded to the WikiCommons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ) can be added by just adding the name of the file name on the WikiCommons.

For example:

[[Image:Atypical ductal hyperplasia - very high mag.jpg|thumb|100px|An image of [[atypical ductal hyperplasia]].]]

Grabs the file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atypical_ductal_hyperplasia_-_very_high_mag.jpg and creates a local copy.

The result is seen below:

An image of atypical ductal hyperplasia.

Feel free to play in the Sandbox -- it is for trying out edits.

Standard headings...

The standard headings for a diagnosis article are in the Format article under the section Diagnosis article.

If you copy and paste what is in the box below-- it is a good start to a page:

{{ Infobox diagnosis
| Name       = {{PAGENAME}}
| Image      = 
| Width      =
| Caption    = 
| Synonyms   =
| Micro      =
| Subtypes   =
| LMDDx      =
| Stains     =
| IHC        =
| EM         =
| Molecular  =
| IF         =
| Gross      =
| Grossing   =
| Site       =
| Assdx      =

Pityriasis rubra pilaris

I added a bit to the topic... as I try to avoid empty pages. I can't say I know much about pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). The only place it shows up otherwise is in the inflammatory skin article (it is in a DDx for regular psoriasiform dermatitis). Feel free to mercilessly edit the PRP article.

Desmoid tumour

I see you managed to upload some images. :-)

I am wondering what you mean by "Syndromic desmoids (~5%)" in the desmoid tumour article. Is that 5% of desmoids are syndromic? Do you have a reference?

I try to reference pretty much everything... so people can read where I got something from and scrutinize that source-- if they don't want to believe something. Michael (talk) 03:04, 3 October 2014 (EDT)

Editing

You can sign messages with four tildes ~~~~.

If you have any questions about the mechanics of editing, don't hesitate to ask. With regard to the abstract, I still have the presentation I did on editing. Looking back, it is a bit rough around the edges -- but if you are interested I can send them your way. Michael (talk) 01:26, 9 October 2014 (EDT)

References

I realized that Slide 13 (of the editing presentation I sent you) is not well explained.

The simplest reference consists of:
<ref> Some text </ref>

If you want a reference with a hyperlink:
<ref> [http://www.google.com Google] </ref>

By convention, I have done them this way on Libre Pathology:
<ref>URL: [http://www.google.com http://www.google.com]. Accessed on: October 15, 2014.</ref>

The set of double curly braces {{ }} is used to invoke a template (such as the Citation template used with PubMed references).

I changed the references in Metaphyseal fibrous defect‎ and will tweak the article a bit soon. It is a great start! Michael (talk) 02:51, 15 October 2014 (EDT)
