Lists

Wikipedia:WikiProject Anatomy/List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy holds a list of lists that needs major link repair before they can be moved into article space. Each article, created in 2006, is a word-for-word copy of the index of the 1918 version of Gray's Anatomy.

The articles are in terrible need of maintenance. For instance, at List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy (E), we see:

Epigastric artery, deep or inferior: p. 623
- ~~peculiarities of: p. 623~~
- ~~surface markings of: p. 1321~~
- ~~superficial: p. 629~~

When the pages were created, each entry was simply wikilinked as is. For instance, the last entry should link to Superficial epigastric artery, but that wasn't done - it's just a link to the disambiguation page superficial. And of course a wikilink to peculiarities of makes no sense at all.

In their current form, these articles are basically worthless. The project needs someone to go through the wikilinks in these lists and give them meaningful targets.

2016

2014, fourth quarter

Details:
- Done There are 19 articles on surfaces ([1]),
- Done 6 on impressions ([2]),
- Done 11 on margins ([3]) and

- merged to Heart, expanded The human heart and related articles
- Done Articles related to anatomical terminology

2014, second quarter

Anatomical terminology of muscle and bone

Partly done Improved markedly

Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 03:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Goal: standardise and/or merge (with consensus) articles relating to bone and muscle terminology
Intended duration: less than three months (before April 2014)
Details:
- Articles on muscle terminology and bone terminology are often very poor, and are unlikely to be expanded, as they are merely dictionary entries (eg Agonist / Antagonist, ...)
- Articles on bones are not only in poor shape, but often contain lists and exist in an ambiguous state between articles and disambiguation pages.
- These articles would benefit from either being standardised or, as with our terms of motion articles, collated into a larger page that not only provides context, but allows a central place for all that editing to occur.
- Done Create high quality Anatomical terms of muscle in sandbox and move to mainspace. Draft here (User:LT910001/sandbox/Anatomical_terms_describing_muscle)
  - Done To be merged if consensus exists: Insertion (anatomy), Origin (anatomy), Agonist (muscle), Antagonist (muscle), Unipennate muscle, Bipennate muscle
  - Done Insert in Template:Infobox muscle a link to the article.
  - Partly done Move Eye movement terminology to article
  - Done ~~To be referred to in the article: Striated muscle, Smooth muscle~~
- Done Create high quality Anatomical terms of bone in sandbox and move to mainspace. Draft here:(User:LT910001/sandbox/Anatomical_terms_describing_bone)
  - To be merged if consensus exists: Foramen, Canal (anatomy), Fossa (anatomy), Condyle (anatomy), Epicondyle (anatomy), Trochanter, Process (anatomy),
  - Done To be referred to in the article: Long bone, Short bone, Flat bone, regions of long bone, Sinus (anatomy)
  - Done Insert in Template:Infobox bone a link to the article.

Anatomy series

Partly done

There are some topics in anatomy with either a very sequential structure or very closely linked. Many of these topics do not relate to fixed anatomical structures (such as bones or nerves) but concepts (such as epithelium or terminology). It would be very useful to readers if these topics were presented in an easy-to-access, immediate fashion.

Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 08:44, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Goal: create several anatomical series and add these to respective articles
Intended duration: Less than three months (before May 2014)
Details: I will be focusing on:
- Done Anatomical terminology ---- {{Anatomical terminology series}}
- Done Anatomical lists ---- {{Anatomical lists}}
- Done Epithelia ---- {{Epithelia series}}
- Gastrointestinal wall ---- {{Gastrointestinal wall series}}
- The field of anatomy, works, and famous anatomists ---- to be determined

Diaphragm

Anatomy series

Not done

Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Goal: improve the articles related to the Diaphragm
Intended duration: Less than three months (before July 2014)
Details: I will be focusing on:
- Do a full assessment of what articles relate to the Diaphragm, including: tendons, openings, parts of diaphragm, and radiological signs
- Consider and propose if necessary ways of better representing this content
- Move all related articles to the WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy style

Merges

Done

Coordinator --LT910001 (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Intended duration: Less than one month (before May 2014)
Details: I will be focusing on:
- Done Getting the merge count (currently here: [5]) down to less than 100 items.
- Done Remove merge tags if no consensus has been reached, contribute to mergers proposed by others, and complete mergers where consensus exists.

Census

Done

Many of the top 500 anatomy pages have not been restructured in many years, and are consequently quite messy and randomly-organised.
