Aloe vera[edit]

Hi! I saw that you chose to edit an article of high quality, meaning that it's of Good quality status. What this means is that the article is among the best articles on Wikipedia and as such, will be more complete than one of start or stub quality. This in turn means that it will be more difficult for you to find something to add, correct, or expand on than it would be for a lower quality article. High quality status articles are also more likely to be more heavily watched or edited, so there is a higher chance for pushback on any new edits.

This doesn't mean that you can't edit the page, but I would recommend reading over the article's talk page and posting about any potential edits prior to making them live, in order to gain consensus. This would be especially good if you plan to edit about anything that could be seen as controversial. You may also want to find an article of lower quality to work on, as this would be easier to expand and would likely have less pushback. It would be good to review this brochure on editing ecology related topics.

Also, since this plant is sometimes used for medicinal purposes, it would be good to review this module on editing medical topics]. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Aloe vera, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Don't use Ayurveda sources or other references from Alternative medicine. These are quackery sources. Read WP:MEDRS - that guide shows the high-quality of sources needed for medical content. Zefr (talk) 22:53, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
