Hello! I'm Mangocove, Mango for short, and I study the public health sector in Boston, Massachusetts.
My main focus on Wikipedia is WikiProject Hospitals, spurred by my goal of improving information related to local and regional healthcare especially where it relates to hospitals and emergency medical services. I believe access to unadulterated information is vital in making medical decisions and in informing advocacy for building a better healthcare system. I do my best to thoroughly research and add to the articles I overhaul, however absent reliable information to add I will improve formatting, wording, infoboxes, and references (including recovering and archiving).
Articles that appear to have been written by paid and biased parties stir my curiosity and only make me want to look into them more! These articles are the ones I'm most attracted to when it comes to editing and overhauling, in order to bring them closer to neutral. To that point, my first big project was my overhaul of Steward Health Care System, which prior to my work was written like an advertisement and was the subject of several scrubbings by obvious interested parties.
If you aren't a fan of editing but have information to share which I may be able to incorporate in a page, or would otherwise like me to review it to see if I can add to it, please feel free to reach out on my Talk page!
I'm also on Wikimedia Commons!
Big project in the works
My biggest undertaking to date is my attempt to overhaul List of hospitals in Massachusetts. Trying to convert this into an informative, sortable table with information that can more easily be kept up-to-date. In the process of this, I'm generally editing, or even overhauling, the articles of every hospital that has one. Expand the list below to see my progress and evaluations of each hospital.
-
AdCare Hospital of Worcester:
Rewrote article, though was not able to expand by much. Also moved page from "Adcare..." to "AdCare..." to correct capitalization.
-
Addison Gilbert Hospital:
Assessment: No article, though an article may be doable. There is a 1989 book titled As They May Need: A History of the Addison Gilbert Hospital which may be useful.
-
Amesbury Health Center:
Assessment: No article, and not notable enough for one.
Need opening date.
-
Arbour-HRI Hospital:
Assessment: No article, not sure if there is enough information available to make one.
Need opening date.
-
Athol Hospital:
Rewrote article, though was not able to expand by much.
-
Barnstable County Hospital:
Rewrote article, though was not able to expand by much.
-
BayRidge Hospital:
Rewrote, was not able to expand beyond stub-class but may revisit.
-
Baystate Health:
To-do: 1. Archive references. 2. Rewrite?
-
Berkshire Medical Center:
Assessment: May want to rewrite and expand if possible.
-
Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Milton:
Assessment: May want to rewrite and expand if possible.
-
Charlton Memorial Hospital:
Assessment: Deserves an article IMO. Started draft on 6/13/24.
-
Massachusetts Mental Health Center:
Needs references. No proper references present in article.
-
Norwood Hospital:
Rewrote article.
-
North Adams Regional Hospital:
Needs update - hospital recently reopened.
-

Article creations & overhauls
These are articles which I've created or which I have extensively overhauled. Minor changes to articles are not listed - these are the articles I'm most proud of!
Created
Completed
I have performed extensive overhauls of the following pages (in alphabetical order):
- Steward Health Care System
- Made major changes and additions, aiming to remove bias posed by topic-affiliated accounts removing negative information.
- Quincy Medical Center
- Expanded from stub
- Norwood Hospital
- Expanded from stub
In progress
- Integrated care/Collaborative Care
- Proposed merge on March 18, 2024. Set tentative deadline of April 1, 2024 for feedback and voting.
- This has taken something of a backseat as of May '24, however is still planned. It requires a lot of research to do properly.
- List of hospitals in Massachusetts
- Overhauling in progress, with goal of doing the same with other hospital lists to bring in line with the Hospitals WikiProject.
