[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Sentinel cell, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 22:43, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Your proposed edit to Monkeypox Virus
[edit]Here's a copy of my reply to your proposed edit:
Hi @Matusotruba
First of all, thanks for you interest in this article. Your proposed edit shows that you have both enthusiasm and expertise, and that's great. Wikipedia needs you.
I'm not ging to add your edit in its present form, for a number of reasons:
- First of all, it's too long. It will increase the byte count of the article by about 50% and that's an indication either that the article is a stub (which it isn't) or that undue weight is being given to a particular subsection.
- Delving into your edit, it seems to me to be too technical for the Wikipedia target audience. There's guidance on this in the Manual of Style under WP:TECHNICAL and WP:NOTATEXTBOOK
- Third, this looks as if it might be the product of original research. You've used sentences containing words like "might", "likely" and "suggestion" which indicate a personal opinion rather that generally accepted scientific consensus. In general, Wikipedia editors are encourage to cite reliable secondary sources of information (in this case, probably widely available textbooks or widely cited reviews) rather than strike out on their own. Please checkout WP:SOURCES and WP:No original research for a full explanation.
- Fourth, although you have plenty of citations, some sentences are uncited - again, a suggestion that you are straying from established consensus.
Please consider whether the section which you are trying to replace or beef up is significantly deficient in information as far as the general reader is concerned. It may be sufficient just to add a sentence or two, or to update the wording and citations without any significant change to the length.
My advice to you, as a novice editor - stick to minor tweaks for the time being, and watch what other editors are doing, both right and wrong, until you have a better feel for the Wikipedia environment.
