Sourcing on medical articles
Medical articles on Wikipedia have special sourcing requirements, which you can find at WP:MEDRS. Note in particular that many peer-reviewed articles do not qualify - in particular we generally do not report on single studies, instead review articles are used.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Melanoma, you may be blocked from editing. ''... biomarker, glioblastoma and others. Case research does not meet WP:MEDRS.'' Zefr (talk) 20:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello Connorfrey. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Connorfrey. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. MrOllie (talk) 20:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I am not being paid for these entries. I am a volunteer student adding recently published data to relevant articles as this topic, personalized oncogenomics, is a breakout field and little literature is available. Connorfrey (talk) 20:57, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * See above - this 'recently published data' isn't the kind of thing we do here. We aren't a news site and these citations do not meet our sourcing requirements. Please stop. MrOllie (talk) 21:01, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
