Welcome![edit]
Hello, Isacab0613, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Coconut oil[edit]
Hello Isacab0613, and welcome to Wikipedia editing. For any human health-related topics, the sources need to be of high quality as described by WP:MEDRS. Please read it. The essay by Mary Newport you provided is not a secondary source; it's just her personal interpretation not supported anywhere in the MEDRS literature. Don't be discouraged by reversion of your edits; you'll get the hang of it by reviewing and applying the guidelines for sourcing. Best of luck with editing. --Zefr (talk) 17:28, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Please do not use a single report as a source of fact. If you read through WP:MEDRS, you will see the quality of medical sourcing needed to enter content for the encyclopedia. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 16:05, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- Specifically, the source needs are specifically described in WP:MEDASSESS within MEDRS, showing that individual studies like those you are citing in coconut oil (or case reports) are inadequate; please read and follow this guideline. Thanks. --Zefr (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- Isacab0613: Healthy Oils: Fact versus Fiction appears to be an opinion book not subjected to peer-review or multiple expert opinion or review according to WP:MEDRS which requires "scientific consensus" and high "evidence quality". A single-person study of her husband by Dr. Newport would not qualify under these descriptions.

- Feeding Healthy Beagles Medium-Chain Triglycerides... etc. is obviously an animal study best defined as basic research and pre-human for evidence, again not qualifying by the standards of source quality defined by WP:MEDRS under WP:MEDANIMAL. --Zefr (talk) 16:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
