Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026
editThe goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.
If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:
- Add yourself as a participant
- Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
- Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
- Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection
To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
Infobox image
editWhy is there an image that looks like it's AI-generated in the infobox? Does this illustration really help people to recognize an instance of gout in real life? Why not something like File:Podagra.jpg instead? Nakonana (talk) 22:10, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
- As an illustration, the existing two-part image is neutral, clear, and informative. Sorry, but the one you're offering is borderline unpleasant and looks like it could represent a more general injury condition than gout. Zefr (talk) 23:23, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
