Wrong format for sic journal references
I see that you have been addressing some "citation needed" with sci journal refs, but treating those as website references. See other refs in those articles for what a journal ref format should be. There is a hyperlink that auto-generates references when you enter the PMID. The hyperlink is https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi. When pasting that into the Wikipedia article, remember to bracket it with the ref and /ref. Please go back to the articles you ref-added to date and revise the references.

 * @David notMD Thanks for letting me know. Will remember that next time when I publish a reference for sure! Cystidia (talk) 15:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @David notMD I'll also make sure to revise those erroneously-formatted references as well. Cystidia (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Medical/Health articles
For refs for medical/health articles, there is a special requirement described at WP:MEDRS. Briefly, refs should be reviews, systematic reviews or meta-analyses; should not be to in vitro or animal research articles or clinical trials. David notMD (talk) 12:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
