Associate editor application of James Bibey

 * . The applicant is active in related topics in Wikipedia, and I think we can really need the help for our journal too. Bibeyjj, I hope you are still interested in this position. I'm sorry for the late response to your application, as you see we are quite busy with the everyday matters of the project. If elected, would you be willing to help out for instance in finding peer reviewers for article submissions to the journal? Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 19:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * . Mikael summarises the reasons well above and I agree Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 06:56, 23 May 2022 (UTC)


 * They seem a good candidate for assoc editor status, and it would be useful experience for them as well as helpful skills for us. We've been a bit stalled on applications over the last year, so it will be good to get organised again. T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 11:59, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. I made an entry on the user's talk page whether he's still interested. If so, I think we can go ahead and approve this application. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 15:52, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard back from the wiki talk page, so I sent an email through the wiki system as well. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 03:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Editorial board application of Luis Rafael Moscote-Salazar

 * No details were provided, so I have contacted the applicant to request that they add more information. T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 01:27, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I've updated the application above with the new replacement information that they sent through. T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 03:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Pending more specific presentation. I'm tending towards support, as the applicant seems active in research and publishing according to orcid . I think it is appropriate to let him join us. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 03:12, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Dr. Moscote-Salazar, some questions that have been raised are:
 * Would you be able to provide a webpage or other presentation about yourself? The link provided (https://neuroclani.org/) directs to a more general website.
 * Could you provide one or two sentences of what motivates you to join WikiJMed?
 * Would you be willing to begin contributing as an associate editor? The tasks can be described here: WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Associate_editors. We feel we can really need some help with peer review coordination, and you'll have the opportunity to later become promoted to editorial board membership.

We need to establish if this applicant has specific Wikipedia experience Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 12:52, 3 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Given the lack of open experience, I think the applicant should be considered for associate editor position. and  Did this individual provide more information since our latest follow-up in May?  OhanaUnited  Talk page  02:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Editorial board application of Helmar Bornemann-Cimenti

 * Being followed up by Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 12:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: The applicant mentioned that he used to edit under the account User:Borne, to whicch he lost hte password and subsequently edited anonymously before signing up for user:Bornehelm (which is why that account doesn't show edit history back to 2006). T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 12:05, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - Though the application itself is slim, I think he is actually quite a good candidate. The work done under the old User:Borne account was relevant and expertise in anesthesiology and pain medicine would be of use to the board. His work with BMC Anesthesiology is particular useful, since BMC is one of the most established OA publishing groups. T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)talk 12:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Support likewise, having cleared up the confusion over his Wikipedia page, I support this one. Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 02:01, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Seems like a suitable candidate.  OhanaUnited  Talk page  01:58, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
