Re-Organization and Other Possible Edits
Hello,

I am a student editor who is working to help improve this article Health information on the Internet created by

In terms of the overall organization, a lot of the sections need a bit more content within them, as it pertains to the main purpose of the article (which is to provide a broad overview of health-based online information).

The lead section is a bit vague in regards to what the article actually encapsulates and needs further expansion as well.

The "Types" section is also a bit unclear on what exactly are the different types of information that are available to their respective audiences as there is no distinction among the categories (possibly make a bulleted list/bolded subheadings to help differentiate the types of information?).

In the "Major providers of health information on the Internet" section, there is room for improvement, specifically how each of these providers have a connection to how health information is available online.

The "Quality" section is also in need of needing more context and factual sources describing the relationship between quality and online health outlets of information.

Also, I have a rough outline of a possible introduction section here User:Rghx/sandbox/Health_Information_On_the_Internet_Sandbox_FIrst_Edit that is in the progress if anyone wants to provide some feedback to it.

I welcome any editor who has experience in re-structuring the overall organization of medical-related articles in order to help improve the usability of this specific Wiki page as well as any ideas/suggestions that I may have overlooked. Rghx (talk) 21:39, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Yo yo thanks for having a go at it. WP:Be bold and make the edits you think are best. I looked at your idea and I think in your draft you deleted a citation. If possible, try to find a way to keep citations if the source seems good, even if you want to delete some text. For additional feedback request at WP:WikiProject Medicine which is where the community is. Thanks.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  21:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Possible Improvement for this page better
Hi, I have just read the section you created, thanks for sharing such an interesting topic with us!

I have some suggestions for this page that I would like to share with you. I think it might be a good idea to reorganize the section. For example, in the first section (Introduction) you mentioned the basic idea of this topic, the importance of the relationship of doctor and patient and different types of source on the internet. But the importance part might seems better if it became to a separate section or being combined with the general introduction. And since the name of the section is already the "Health information on the internet", maybe there's no need to emphasize the "Online resource" with another subtitle again.

Overall, I enjoy reading your work a lot and thank you creating such an interesting topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anfinite (talk • contribs) 05:59, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Trying to rewrite content
Hi, I am trying to rewrite content on this page; (1) however, I am finding it difficult to get my head around the difference between social platforms and social media within the online resources section? The author does not provide any examples. I am not sure if it needs structuring? (2)Can 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 be merged together, or more content be added? please suggest.
