Wikipedia - let's update it 7 years 11 months ago #16141
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I am a little surprised about just how slowly the news about generics is spreading. You would think that "affodable cure for fatal disease that infects hundreds of millions" would be more interesting than celebrity plastic surgery but apparently not! Wikipedia is a worldwide reference source. They are careful to avoid being used for product advertising but there is information, rather than advertising, that people should be able to find on it, that currently does not exist. If you have some free time please do this: 1) Register an account en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci...ue&campaign=loginCTA 2) Learn about the page markup language. This is called MediaWiki, and here is a tutorial: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing 3) Look for Hep C pages, Harvoni pages, Sofosbuvir pages, etc and update them with relevant mentions of generics. While you earn trust on Wikipedia small edits work best. References to this site, Greg Jefferys, EASL's commentary on generics would all seem to be relevant information to patients with Hep C. Pages in non english languages are likely to be the most out of date, for example the Romanian page on HCV talks about Interferon/Ribavirin as the treatment so is at least 4 years out of date. We have the power to fix hep C. Do we have the will power to get the message out there?

| Indeed an interesting idea. Writing articles or updating information is not a straightforward process, rather it demands a little bit of study and practice. I read once on a forum that someone complain that Wikipedia was not publishing his/her article and was thinking on a conspiracy theory. I was thinking at that time, why that person missed some simple facts that were written on the first page when trying to create a Wikipedia article: "This page in a nutshell: New articles should follow some guidelines: the topic should be notable (i.e. it should have some detailed coverage in good references from independent sources). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia – not something else. Please respect copyright law and avoid defamatory content. Feel free to be bold and create the article with a limited knowledge of norms here, but other editors might choose to delete it if it's not seen as belonging." or Keep in mind that if the article is not acceptable, it will be deleted quickly. Wikipedia has a new pages patrol division where people check new articles shortly after creation. What does this mean? It means that the information presented on Wikipedia needs to meet Wikipedia's acceptance criteria otherwise it will be rejected. I would advise to invest firstly time to learn & understand under which form the information needs to be prepared and posted. Couple of things that are important for Wikipedia (this is only a short view) to see for the information being posted: - notability of the subject (if a new article is created) - credibility of the information (information must/should come from reliable sources and must be verifiable) - neutrality - being an encyclopedia, Wikipedia do not like its space to be used for advocacy/militancy/publicity, etc. Wikipedia wants that the information posted is of an encyclopedic nature/character. - references -> you do need to provide references for the information you are posting, otherwise it will be deleted or edited by other editors (perhaps you would not like to see that your information was edited and given perhaps another meaning). I hope I am not "scaring" people to write on Wikipedia, rather I believe it does make sense to document about the "Howto" before "writing into". Also interesting to read is this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editing_policy In fiecare an HCV ucide peste 500000 oameni.Medicamentele generice pentru hepatita C functioneaza. Nu deveni statistica! Cauta pe Google “medicamente generice pentru hepatita C”. HCV kills more than 500000 people every year. HCV generic drugs work. Don't become a statistic.

Following Jame's advice on starting by making small updates to existing wiki pages, here's a start! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyers_club I am an absolute newbie on wikipedia but if anyone wants to collaborate on making a top level Wiki page for FixHepC, please PM me.

I'm with you Wullie, hoe, rake and overalls. 4 more days and the final school bell of the year will signal summer break. I will be doing my "Michael Corleone in Sicily" routine, but in rural Romania. Lots of quality quiet time for a quintessential quest. I will bump up my data plan for the trip. M-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

Hmmm, seems like a "WikiGnome" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiGnome) has tidied up my edits to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyers_club (a direct external link to www.fixhepc.com is not allowed). Like GreedFighter says, there going to be a learning curve on how to present the facts in an acceptable (mainly neutral way) there. But at least "FixHepC" is now into the matrix ...

| a small update: if someone visits today the Romanian Wikipedia pages for Hep C will note that the medication was recently updated and it does include the DAAs. One will also note that there exist pages for Sofosbuvir and Harvoni (quite fresh). In fiecare an HCV ucide peste 500000 oameni.Medicamentele generice pentru hepatita C functioneaza.
