Diagnosis tables could show diagram

EG as - if we can find some with suitable use licences. Sadly none of the diagrams used by the national health systems mark the zero pulse pressure line (of a dead patient) or the acknowledge the impossibility of the diastolic pressure being greater than the systolic. - Rod57 (talk) 16:47, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

• None in commons.mediawiki, and google find none with a creative commons licence.
  If one of us made a diagram (png or svg) from the clinical guidelines, could we upload and use that ? - Rod57 (talk) 17:07, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
• Bing offers more search options on licences - but seems to show non free ones.
  Would be great to have something like this Adobe image . - Rod57 (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
• Gemini 2.5 finds of the European guidelines for children. (Which does mark the impossible region.) - Rod57 (talk) 18:36, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026

The goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.

If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:

1. Add yourself as a participant
2. Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
3. Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
4. Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection

To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
