Talk:LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport

Request edit
Disclosure: I am an employee of LSU Health Shreveport, which is why I have an interest in this page. I would like to suggest a few updates for consideration by editors to expand the article and keep it current. First, to include basic company information such as website, address, names of professional schools located at LSU Health Shreveport, name of current Chancellor and number of employee and students. Second, to add details about a major recent event: entering a new teaching hospital partnership with Ochsner Health System. Reference: and and. Thank you for the consideration. If I have missed a step in the protocol to submit an edit for consideration, please let me know how I can correct. Bella101917 (talk) 00:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly. The central reasons are shown below. In the extended section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:
 * 1) It is not clear what information from the sources you'd like added to the article.  The request does not state with certainty how the information should appear in the article.
 * 2) The citation style predominantly used by the LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport article is Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's. Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1 (See WP:CITEVAR).

Your edit request: First, we need to say something about the sun. Then we need to say something about the moon. Then later, we should say something about the sun again. Here are the references for what we should say.

In the example above, the request offers only vague descriptions of what should be placed in the article. The assumption is that the reviewer should check the references themselves and that they should then be the one to make the decisions about what should actually be said in the article based on what is found in those references. This is not how edit requests work. The COI editor is responsible for proposing exactly what is to be said in the article, and the COI editor is responsible for formatting that request according to how it will be placed in the article. Using this setup, a properly WikiFormatted edit request would resemble the following:

Properly formatted request: Please add the following sentence to the first paragraph of the article's "Sun and Moon" section: The sun is pretty big, but the moon is not so big. The sun is also quite hot. Which displays as: The sun is pretty big,[1] but the moon is not so big.[2] The sun is also quite hot.[3]

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the sentences are written exactly how they are to appear in the article. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly rewrite your edit request so that it aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to re-submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards,  Spintendo   04:52, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

 * 1) Parts of the infobox which were not referenced were omitted.
 * 2) Parts of the suggested prose which were insufficiently paraphrased from the source material were omitted, per WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE.
 * 3) The COI editor is reminded that the article uses Citation Style 1, not bare links as references—and that edit requests ought to be styled using the citation system already in use for the article.

I hope I'm doing a reply right! Thank you Spintendo (talk) for reviewing. I believe I understand correctly on the sources being apropos and can improve those to be stronger. Would it be possible to add the post-nominal titles for G.E. Ghali? It would be G. E. Ghali, DDS, MD, FACS, FRCS(Ed) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bella101917 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 19 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Post-nominals are not usually added to an individual's name unless they are the focus of the article, per WP:POSTNOM.  Spintendo   01:04, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

In order to determine whether the information should be added, please elaborate on the nature of this relationship between St. Jude and the subject of the article. Please specify what it is, about this relationship, which deems the information necessary for placement in this article. When ready to proceed, please change the template's answer parameter to read from yes to no Thank you.  Spintendo   01:04, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
