== A tool to monitor and improve images in this Wikiproject ==▼
== Requested move at [[Talk:Electrical conduction system of the heart#Requested move 15 August 2022]] ==▼
Hi there! I am not part of this Wikiproject, but I am a Wikigraphist. I am interested in improving Wikipedia’s visual content and I built a tool that could help detect visual gaps in Wikiprojects.▼
[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Electrical conduction system of the heart#Requested move 15 August 2022]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. [[User:Robertsky|– robertsky]] ([[User talk:Robertsky|talk]]) 04:58, 23 August 2022 (UTC)▼
 
I called it [[User:MingoBerlingo/Visual content assessment tool|Visual Content Assessment Tool]], or simply VCAT.▼
== Psilocybin nominated for Featured article review ==
 
A working version of VCAT with data for Wikiproject Neuroscience already extracted by me on 26/07/2023 can be found at [https://aquets.github.io/VCAT-dashboard/#/dashboard?data=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aquets/VCAT-data-extractor/main/Examples/wp_Neuroscience.json VCAT-dashboard]. You can always extract fresh data for any Wikiproject using the [https://aquets.github.io/VCAT-dashboard/#/extraction extraction tool], a command line tool I created for this purpose.▼
I have nominated [[Psilocybin]] for a [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/Psilocybin/archive1|featured article review here]]. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|featured article criteria]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|here]].<!--Template:FARMessage--> [[User:DigitalIceAge|DigitalIceAge]] ([[User talk:DigitalIceAge|talk]]) 07:36, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 
Some of the actions you can do with this tool are:▼
== Project-independent quality assessments ==
 
* Monitoring the visual content coverage in a Wikiproject▼
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Content assessment]], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
* Detecting articles needing images (eg. articles without images)▼
* Detecting low resolution images to improve (eg. raster diagrams to be vectorized)▼
 
Then you can ask for image creation or vectorization on the Graphics Lab.▼
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
 
What do you think? Could it be a useful tool?▼
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|QUALITY_CRITERIA|custom}} parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

== Nicolelis Lab Series ==
== [[Piaget's theory of cognitive development#Postulated physical mechanisms underlying schemes, schemas, and stages]] ==
 
The [[Miguel Nicolelis]] Lab published, for free, two volumes of their neuroscience work. I saw that some of them are under a Wikisource friendly CC license, but I'm not sure if it applies to all of them:
A request for review: Could some editors who are knowledgeable about neuroscience please take a close, hard look at the section {{section link|Piaget's theory of cognitive development#Postulated physical mechanisms underlying schemes, schemas, and stages}}? The same editor who was edit warring over this section two years ago is back (e.g., [[Special:Diff/1018291061]], 17 April 2021).
 
* {{Cite book |url=https://issuu.com/mnicolelis/docs/nicolelis_labs_series_vol_1 |title=20 Years of Brain-Machine Interface |volume=1 |page=452}}
Here is what the section looked like two years ago before the editor in question started editing it: {{section link|Special:Permalink/1013759982#Postulated physical mechanisms underlying schemas and stages}}.

I’m posting here because I think this topic could be interesting to members of this WikiProject. Currently there’s a discussion at [[Talk:Polyvagal theory #Discussion: representation of one author’s viewpoint]] regarding the undue weight given to a critical minority opinion.

[[Long-term potentiation]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Long-term potentiation/1|reassessment page]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 04:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I have noticed that these two articles talk about the same thing. I have created a proposal on [[Goose bumps]]'s talk page to discuss a merger. [[Special:Contributions/80.0.166.171|80.0.166.171]] ([[User talk:80.0.166.171|talk]]) 01:08, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

An editor first labeled [[Legality of cannabis]] as top-importance for this group, and after I removed the rating, has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Legality_of_cannabis&diff=prev&oldid=1247813728 changed it] to high-importance. Please decide for yourselves how you'd like to have it assessed.
== Neuropixels ==
 
I've seen a couple of editors "upgrade" their favorite subjects, perhaps in the mistaken belief that this will result in more editors working on the articles. I specifically suggest taking a look at what's in [[:Category:Top-importance neuroscience articles]] ([[CLARITY]]? [[Hebbian theory]]? [[Tractography]]?) and [[:Category:High-importance neuroscience articles]] to see whether it reflects your group's goals and preferences. [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 04:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Would someone mind taking a look at [[:Neuropixels]]? The article seems to be primarily about a type of probe but perhaps that's what a neuropixel is. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 13:03, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

::WPMED set a standard years ago of 100 top-priority and 1,000 high-priority articles. The high-priority group has crept up a bit over the years. I glanced through about half the list, fixed some obvious errors, and posted a list of some others for discussion. I'll probably to the same for the rest of the list later. I thought it might be easier if one person organized it. If everyone has a look at "some", there's a risk that we'll all carefully review the articles at the start of the alphabet and nobody will look at the ones towards the end.

::Thank you {{u|Tryptofish}} for taking a look at this. FWIW, I never heard of a neuropixel before and only came across the article via [[:WP:MCQ#File:Neuropixels Probe Allen Institute.png]]. I have heard of [[:neuron]] before and thought a neuropixel might something like that. I guess if the article is about a particular product, then [[:WP:NPRODUCT]] would be applicable; similarly, if about a particular company, then [[:WP:NORG]] would be applicable. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 19:46, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
