Talk:Randomized controlled trial/Draft

Toward Approval of Version 1.1

I see that the pointer on this ToApprove template points to the current Approved version of the article and I assume that it is meant for the latest version of the Draft which made it's last edits on June 18, 2009 by Robert. I also see that Gareth and Supten added their endorsement on June 19th and 20th which I also assume means that they saw the last two edits that were made after June 1, 2009 which is the date on the template. Considering that Robert made the editors, it looks like we have three edits that agree the current version, so unless there is any objection here tomorrow, we'll follow through with the process. If there is a problem, leave a note here and we'll check before we approve. Thanks, D. Matt Innis 02:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

New version ready - difficulties with draft/approved system

I would like to submit the current version as the new approved version. I think I am learning that the method of using drafts is awkward because the public version is always out-of-date. If we had all the money and resources in the world, I would like to see CZ explore replacing the draft/approved system with a single version that displays trust metrics. See http://www.mememoir.org/ and a proposal at http://www.wikigenes.org/app/info/movie.html. - Robert Badgett 21:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

approval ready

We have three editors on board, now. That means we're ready to go. If the approving editors prefer, the target date for approval may be moved up. This one was set for extra long in advance so that we could be sure we'd have time to get all three editors arranged. --Joe (Approvals Manager) 18:11, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

An article about randomized trials should also point out the connection to its theoretical background from mathematical statistics. I have added three topics to the ralated topics list (it could probably be more), but it should be included in the main page, too, in some form. Peter Schmitt 23:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The definition is much too long -- remember its use (related pages) and the guidelines!

Need to approve again

Can we approve the many changes? I do not recall the procedure for this. - Robert Badgett 16:35, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, Robert, we can. Anthony has signed on, but since you made most of the edits, we'll need one more editor to sign on for approval. DOn't forget to put a date in the metadata template to let me know when the time comes. D. Matt Innis 02:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi guys, sorry to butt in here...but...At the end of the intro the last sentence reads: If the experimental treatment is strikingly better than the control arm, ...and then just stops.

I'm not sure where the rest of the sentence went, but you should probably find it before approving...imho.

Also, I think I saw some typos...so I will now change them. Sorry if I inadvertently made something incorrect...this subject is some pretty thick stuff....just trying to help.

Other than that I think it's a great article. --David Yamakuchi 00:38, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Merging two versions of Draft

I've merged two versions of the Draft page. There was only a two edit difference, but if something seems to be missing, let me know. It did not go as smoothly as it should have, but I can't tell if it is a cache issue that will correct itself soon. D. Matt Innis 03:05, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I have restored the most recent version. It was "covered" by the old (/draft) version due to the move. --Peter Schmitt 11:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Comments

This has long been nominated for reapproval. --Peter Schmitt 01:01, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

You can add another three months to the above comment. I thought we had an Approvals Manager or something? David Finn 07:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

See also the comments in the section #Need to approve again above. The incomplete sentence is in the approved version, too. --Peter Schmitt 11:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
