Introducing myself
editI am a medical librarian at UC San Francisco and retired family practice doctor. I am working with a WP healthcare article editing class for 4th year UCSF medical students. This is our third time doing the class and we have our largest group, 16 students. During the first two iterations of the class I did not edit an article. I just helped the student find information for the articles and helped them edit. This time I am going to work to improve an article and thought the SK article might be good. C-class, high importance. Relatively simple topic, not a ton of literature, but extremely common skin lesion. As a family medicine doc these were the most common lesion people asked about. They look like they should be something, so people ask. At any rate I will be tinkering with the article. Emwhitaker (talk) 21:31, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
choice of images
editIs the current photograph really representative for the lemma? At least the German Wikipedia says that the Leser–Trélat sign is a special subtype of Seb. ker. I'd suggest e.g. this photograph (it also shows an elderly person), but I am not a specialist, so please check if it is appropriate. --Kuhni74 (talk) 08:36, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

- @Kuhni74 Do you trust Wikipedia
- I guess it depends on peoples motivations
- I think I can find out more here than the limited time I have with the family Doctor
- Once again thankfully for referring to the German Wikipedia
- Because those pictures look like something I have on my back
- Respect

- Why should this be related to colon cancer? I agree that it's wiser to consult a professional, although there is much helpful information on wikipedia. Greetings from Austria (I have relatives in the Toronto area, by the way)! --Kuhni74 (talk) 07:18, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
