- Also -- I've reverted your edits, because they don't include all the information needed for a full reference. I know it can be tricky figuring out how to reference articles, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Arcadian (talk) 15:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Citations
[edit]Hi Raymond. When you add content to health-related articles it's important to provide citations that others can follow for verification. The best way to do this is with a number like this[14] linking to the details at the bottom of the article.
- To create a book citation, find the book in Google Books, enter its URL into here, and paste the result directly into your text.
- To create an article citation, enter its doi into your text between
<ref>{{Cite doi|
and}}</ref>
, or its PMID between<ref>{{Cite pmid|
and}}</ref>
, and the citation will be created a few minutes after you save your edit. Search the source article to find its doi. To get an article's PMID, search for its title here, and the PMID will appear below the article's abstract. - Please include the page number of the work you are citing.
If you have any questions, please ask on my talk page, I would be pleased to help. Anthony (talk) 18:34, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- I second that point. Also please try to write in properly grammatical sentences. The material you are adding appears to be useful but fixing it is creating unnecessary amounts of work for other editors. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
