Medical references

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here.

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note, or post to the talk page of the Wikipedia WikiProject Medicine CV9933 (talk) 18:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Justin99887! Your additions to Crohn's disease have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:18, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Crohn's disease. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. We don't discuss theories from lab research. Medical content for the encyclopedia is based on WP:MEDRS reviews. Zefr (talk) 21:02, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

On speculation

I'm sorry but I would have to disagree, as all the sources I used were reviews of microbes' role in CD or a review of accepted potential causes of CD. None of the sources were expierenential or primary sources, nor were they unpublished. I did not speculate on the information found in the articles, and any speculatory language was mirroring the language used from the authors of the articles. All assertions made were by the authors, not me, and can be found in the sources cited. Justin99887 (talk) 00:43, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

In biology and medicine (or any branch of science), a "theory" is not an established fact, but rather a concept under research until it is widely accepted and published with clinical evidence in reputable reviews. This section you prepared is more of an essay on a concept (or theory). Wikipedia medical content relies on WP:MEDRS reviews of established facts. Also, there have been concerns raised about your use of copyrighted material as shown in the article history. Zefr (talk) 02:16, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
