Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!


Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED). We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:


 * Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
 * Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
 * The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! JenOttawa (talk) 19:33, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions
Great to see you up and editing Wikipedia! Your updates look good. I noted a few small things (that new editors often figure out as they go).
 * We try to avoid the terms "currently", "recently", "previously" and rather indicate the date if a time of reference is necessary. I adjusted your edit here as an example.
 * When performing the update, please edit the text of the Wikipedia article directly. 1. remove the previous "needs update" tag in the text where the update is taged. 2. delete the out of date Cochrane Review. 3. Click "cite" and add in the updated version. (and of course update the text if necessary if there was a change. I adjusted your edit on Carbamazepine accordingly here.

You are doing great so far! One other small pointer: When you are finalizing your article edit, please add a short summary to allow other editors to see what you did. E.g.: "Updated citation to the new version of the Cochrane Review. No change in conclusions". or "Cochrane update to 2019 version: Changed text to reflect new findings on efficacy" (examples).

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out anytime via email or on my talk page here on Wikipedia!

Updating refs
For example here

You do not need "PMCPMC" or the url. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 00:29, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
