Merge from Multi-centric breast cancer

I proposed the merger above. Despite being a popular article there was very little discussion and no dissent, so I have completed the merge.

Content from the other article has been included in the section Multiple primary tumours. A lot of the material on the other page duplicated information that was already here so I have deleted a lot. The complete contents of the other page is available here[1] for anyone who wishes to restore any content I have deleted.

The other article had no talk page and no articles linked there.

Hopefully this new section fits well with the existing article. --Mgp28 (talk) 18:46, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent class assignment

In a removed edit, Rathod Dharmarajsinh tagged that this page is the subject of an education assignment. A number of other pages have also been edited, per the users in question, because of said assignment. The instructor for this assignment (no known username) has not engaged with WP:Education program. Experienced editors should be prepared for a large number of noncompliant edits from participants. —C.Fred (talk) 13:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This has since been clarified as a class project run by AminMDMA (talk · contribs) on that user's talk page:

Indeed this is a course, but it is not sponsored by Wiki Education. Instead, it is through the wmflabs dashboard, since it is at a medical school in India. You can find the details of this course at the dashboard here

I've asked AminMDMA to apply formal {{educational assignment}} templates to the articles that they've been asking their students to work on, but they haven't yet done this. Belbury (talk) 17:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, I am adding to this talk page to explain the edits I am adding for my Wiki Education assignment. I am adding a section on cancer related cognitive impairment to the supportive care (formerly psychological aspects) section of this article as it is a common complaint for breast cancer patients. I think it would be very beneficial to have this on the Wikipedia page as it is often an unexpected and distressing experience. I was trained on how to add to a medical article such as this, and I hope you find my content to be helpful and in line with the existing content in the article. Thank you and it is nice to work with you all of this! 22ilovecats22 (talk) 05:11, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 22ilovecats22, thanks for explaining your addition here. It's an important topic and the addition looks great. A few small tips to help you blend in here:

We write section headings in "Sentence case" rather than "Title Case". So the heading would normally be "Psychological aspects and supportive care". Don't try to find the logic in this, it's just an arbitrary convention. It's documented at our manual of style which has grown so large and complex that you'll never stop running afoul of it in minor-and-fixable ways.
You seem to have put a space between each reference in a list, when we typically don't do that.
patients up to 10 years [166] [172] , fortunately most - we put references after a comma, rather than before.
Since biomedicine is such a robust and fast-changing field, we try to use recent reviews instead of older ones to make sure our articles reflect the current medical mainstream. Some of the sources you used are from 2004, 2005, 2007, etc. To make sure the article is reliable for our readers, consider replacing them with more recent sources. This is documented at WP:MEDDATE (a section of the larger guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine), which you may wish to skim -- although I'm sure you'll find much of it familiar material).

Pardon the longish list. Thanks again for the addition, and I hope you decide to stick around when your class is over. If you run into questions/issues, feel free to ask at WT:MED, a noticeboard for medicine-interested editors. Best, Ajpolino (talk) 13:03, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
