Added note: I have reverted your edits to Plasmodium vivax and wanted to explain why. The main problem is that your references are not formatted correctly. If you look through the linked articles above, I think that you will find useful information on how to form footnotes. First, you need more specific sources than simply www.webmd.com; find a specific page on the www.webmd.com site that supports your text and use that. Second, every footnote needs to be wrapped in tags to make it appear in the references section.

Two minor points: the text "|oxygen requirements = Both aerobic and anaerobic (www.pmbio.icbm.dc)" was added outside of the infobox (after the closing brackets) which makes the text sit at the top of the page, as shown here. When you find a more specific source, make sure that the info goes before the closing brackets. Also, if you start a line with a space it makes the entire paragraph indent; it's a method used to set off special text, such as quotes.

I don't want to discourage you. These are problems that all new (and experienced) editors deal with. I hope you keep editing and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll try to help. I'm still relatively new, so I remember making all of these same mistakes! Leschnei (talk) 13:33, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi CoreyCoon. Some of the material was copied directly from other websites, and thus was a copyright violation. Please don't add copyright material to this wiki. We also have some pretty strict requirements for sourcing for our medical articles, so I suggest you select another topic for your editing for the time being until you learn your way around. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:22, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
