Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Ophthalmology task force/Archive 1

message: Let's get all of the people together. I hereby invite everybody interested in Vision and Eye care to contribute to the long awaited wikiproject on Ophthalmology. Many thanks to AED for getting this project page working and sorting out the details. For a start, we need a shortcut to point to this page. Here's a readymade  manual of style for starting Ophthalmology articles. For the past 4 months, I have been working to add articles, relevant info and clinical images to the current sections of Ophthalmology - am currently looking to get some more input and requests, so that we can get cracking - to get some really good articles, raise them to featured status and turn the project on Vision & Eye care into a resource which is one of the best in whole of Wikipedia! Cheers!!! EyeMD 05:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

text: All these are within the purview of Ophthalmology as well.

text: Yes, I did. That's why my reply alluded to their relevance to Ophthalmology. So, what specific articles do you think should have the exclusive Optometry category tag?

message: EyeMD's comments above have me wondering if the Vision article needs to be addressed. It is currently nothing more than a disambiguation page which includes the comment: "Vision may mean... Visual perception via the visual system; one of the senses". This statement is troubling to me in that 1) "Visual perception via the visual system" seems redundant and 2) it seems to imply that visual perception is "one of the senses". In my opinion, getting light images to the brain is vision; the brain interpreting those light images is visual perception. (The existence of disorders such as blindsight and prosopagnosia emphasize that vision without visual perception is possible.) If Vision were expanded, how would it address the subject? -AED 06:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 00:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

So now all the human ophthalmology articles point to this article (usually through the eye pathology template).  I didn't want to change the template, but perhaps someone should, or take over corneal ulcer (which is now a redirect) and write an article on corneal ulcers in humans.  The little in the original article on human corneal ulcers, mainly in the form of the infobox, is still salvagable through the history.  Thanks.  --Joelmills 02:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone who knows about eye anatomy write stub articles on the central retinal vein and the bulbar sheath? This is to fill in the redlinks at Template:POTD/2007-07-12. At the moment, retinal vein redirects to superior ophthalmic vein, but I think this is wrong. The superior ophthalmic vein, as far as I can make out, is the equivalent of the opthalmic artery, though there is also the inferior ophthalmic vein. I suspect retinal vein should redirect to central retinal vein, which would be the equivalent of the central retinal artery. But some expert help would be greatly appreciated here. Bulbar sheath might be easier or harder, as it appears to 'merely' be the connective tissue sheath around the eye - should be enough for a stub. Thanks. Carcharoth 09:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
