Hello Mary,

I just noticed your improvements to the Air pollution article so I wondered whether you intend to improve any of the “Air pollution in ……” articles? I made a few changes to Air pollution in Turkey because I live here and have now put it in the queue for Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. But as far as I can tell it is the only country specific air pollution article at “good article” level so far. It would be great if someone else could bring another dirty air country (maybe India or Pakistan) up to GA too so I could get ideas from that for improving the Turkey article. Or of course I welcome any direct suggestions you might have for “Air pollution in Turkey” Chidgk1 (talk) 12:03, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello there. I hope you're doing well. Wanted to say thanks for working on so many core articles around health and environmental health. Are you aware of the The Vital Signs campaign? We're trying to bring all of the top-importance articles up to B-class, which mainly involved large rewrites for understandability and updates. This includes not only articles currently rated at C-class, but the entire set of 101 articles, as most require at least a bit of TLC to be up-to-date and understandable. I'd love to see you join, if only to indicate which articles are ready for a second pair of eyes wrt to understandability. Getting that one right on your own is incredibly difficult. Research has shown that people almost always overestimate the knowledge in others when they are experts. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:27, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

• Hello @Femke:, thanks for the kind words. I'm happy to join. I don't feel I have the expertise to be giving pages a final review, but I am happy to help with initial stages of going over them to see what is out of date and needs updating. What is the best way to indicate this for The Vital Signs campaign? Should I put a note on the topic list indicating I've done initial updates and asking for further review to check that I've gotten it right? I like the notation that's been added to indicate my WiR work. Best wishes, MMO Tracking (talk) 12:48, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

  Yes, that would be super helpful. And if you've got more rewrites planned later in the year, you can put your name down as volunteer in the penultimate column as well. I'm planning to check in on all the articles around female-dominated diseases, COVID and environmental health if time allows, and am always happy to give feedback like I did at Talk:Chronic_obstructive_pulmonary_disease#Understandability. I'm slowly learning too much about medicine to be the best assessor of understandability, but I hope that does help. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:27, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Could you please respond to the talk page message I left. I see you're still adding overly complicated text at COPD, such as talking about "rescue medication" , without replying to my concerns that these edits make the article much too complicated. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:23, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
