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.

Here are a few other links to help you in medical editing:
 * Plain and simple guide for new medical editors
 * Wikiproject Medicine tutorial for new medical editors
 * Wikiproject Medicine resources summary
 * 2017 Published review of medical content on Wikipedia
 * PDF for editing Wikipedia articles on Medicine
 * WP:MEDHOW: Useful Wikipedia tips for editing medical and general content
 * WP:MEDMOS: Manual of style and guide for templated medical sources

Feel free to drop a note on your talk page if you have any problems - I am following your page. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Zefr (talk) 15:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Colchicine, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Please review the manual of MOS given with this message. Also observe WP:REFPUNCT - the punctuation goes before the templated reference. Also, a reference is not placed distant from the content it supports, as you did at the top of this article - the reference is used specifically to support a statement, so goes after the statement.''
