Welcome![edit]

Hello, Joyjxu1, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Alzheimer's[edit]

Hi, Joyjxu1 (and Ian (Wiki Ed); thanks for the fine additions to Alzheimer's disease! I have made a few adjustments, minor copyediting, and have made some citation adjustments to conform with the rest of the style of the article. I changed some numbers to spelled out rather than digits to reflect WP:MOSNUM, there are no spaces between punctuation and the ref tag, removed some usage of also and additionally (which are almost always redundant editorializing), and combined the citations used more than once to a common way for formatting named refs. We don't need to provide a URL when the link is non-free and readers can't access it anyway, but free links are a very good thing. One thing that needs checking is this citation, as the authors you mention are different from those PubMed returns, although it seems to be the same article. Thanks for the fine work! I will be out the rest of the afternoon, but will check back this evening with you. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:25, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

		The Teamwork Barnstar
		To Bharatss-SB, Joan1087, and Joyjxu1, For your work at Alzheimer's disease as part of your course HTHSCI 3E03: Politics of Health Information with Denise Smith at McMaster University, I award you this barnstar for the excellence of your collaborative effort. It is exceedingly rare for students to fully engage the project well enough to make a difference, and awarding a student barnstar is a first for me! Not only did you all communicate and take on board information about Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but you also left the article much better than you found it, and were a pleasure to work with. I hope to see you ‘round the Wikipedia, and good luck with your finals! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:42, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PS, it is customary for Wikipedians to copy barnstars to display on their user page, so feel free to decorate your page with a copy of this ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:42, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
