Welcome[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

Use high-quality sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed.
Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Creating an article[edit]

Hi, I noticed you asked for help on another editor's talkpage. I'm here to ask you to kindly read WP:Your first article before proceeding. You could be going down a path that ends in frustration, especially if you don't have WP:Reliable sources for what you want to write about. After you have created what you think is ready to submit, feel free to drop a note here to have a look and I will, time permitting, give what advice I can. I've created a few articles myself and think I have a good feel for what they need to be accepted. - Brianhe (talk) 20:02, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
