1. WeijiBaikeBianji (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) As my edit history will disclose, I am currently interested in updating the high-page-view article Leprosy with medically reliable sources, and I watchlist other articles related to medicine (and the WikiProject Medicine project pages) as part of improving articles related to human genetics and psychology. I'm committing to following the Wikipedia content guideline on correct sources for medical articles so adding this resource to the other resources I have access to through Wikipedia Library would be most appreciated. Thanks for coordinating the applications. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 23:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

3. Keilana (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'm a highly active medical area in obstetrics and gynecology, specifically gynecologic oncology. Since I'm not affiliated with a medical institution, I do not have access to DynaMed normally. I am currently working on bringing all major gynecologic oncology articles to Featured status, and having DynaMed would greatly enhance the articles I work on, which are both high importance and high-impact.
