Mifamurtide
Hi Awrestler! Thank you for your ambitious work with the article Mifamurtide. Please be careful with major edits of articles, especially as long as the Wikipedia syntax (the symbols Wikipedia uses to achieve things like bold text, italics, section headers etc.) is new to you. For a start:


 * Section headers are enclosed in double equals marks: ==Section header== . Don't change them to Bold text, as this will break the table of contents (as it did in Mifamurtide).
 * Don't include references manually as you did in your recent edits. Instead, at the place in the text where the reference number shall appear, type:
 * If the article already has a references section at the bottom, the "text of reference here" will appear there, automatically numbered. If the article hasn't got a references section yet, create one:
 * ==References==
 * ==References==


 * Above all, do not copy the article to a text editor and then back into the edit window. This breaks the formatting completely. (But you can copy the text from Wikipedia's edit window to an editor and back.)

I undid your edits and will re-format and re-add your content shortly. Please give me a moment.

I'd also suggest reading the Tutorial, How to edit a page and Article development. Please don't hesitate to contact me at my talk page if you have any questions or problems. Thank you! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 21:32, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Mifamurtide, part 2
I think I've re-added most of your additions except for the first three sections. You could try to work them into the article (your version is here) or wait until I have the time. If you do it yourself, remember how texts in encyclopaedias are usually phrased (or go to your local library and read one, or read a good Wikipedia article like Alprazolam). Headers like "What is it for?" are discouraged since they sound more like do-it-yourself guides.

Please don't take my intrusion personally. Our articles should have good content and a good look. You did very good work with the content, and you will quickly learn (and find a lot of help) how articles should be phrased and styled, and how to work with Wikipedia's formatting tools. Thanks, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Part 3
Everything should be re-included now, either in your words or worked into the article text. Please tell me if I forgot anything. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 21:02, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Your reversion of Mifamurtide
Hi again! When you edit an article, please ensure that you check the result of your modifications. Perhaps it would be better to start slow to get familiar with Wikipedia, not change whole well-developed articles. And yet again, there are plenty of editors who are willing to help you (for example me or the people at the new contributors' help page). Specifically: Please also note that there are style requirements to ensure that our articles look similar. This helps readers to find information quickly and easily. I will restore the old version for the moment. I do not mean to remove the information you added, but I will not invest several hours in editing for a second time if it is likely that you will overwrite my formatting. Please contact me and tell me what you think is incorrect in the old version. I am sure we will be able to create an article which is factually correct, has a good layout and is easy to navigate, if we work together. Sincerely, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You removed nearly all of the links again. Links are important for our readers to navigate the encyclopaedia.
 * You removed some of the references, doubtlessly by accident. References are needed to ensure verifiability.
 * The drugbox (the blue and grey box containing the chemical structure and some other basic information) belongs to the top.
 * At Manual of Style (medicine-related articles), you will find a list of sections an article about a drug should ideally contain. Section titles like "What is it for?" are discouraged, as I have mentioned, because they sound more like do-it-yourself guides.
