Welcome!
Hello, Der Berg13, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:15, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Training
Please do the training for students working on health content. This was dramatically not OK. Pinging user:Shalor (Wiki Ed). Jytdog (talk) 20:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Source selection and citations
Further to the training, please read and follow the guidance below (sourcing per [{WP:MEDRS]]; citing sources per WP:MEDHOW

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.


 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
 * 2) Then click on "templates",
 * 3) Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
 * 4) If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 20:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Medicinal and Therapeutic Use
Thank you for your feed back! I can see how some of the sources may be unprofessional but asides from one or two I believe all are scholarly articles or articles written by medical institutions. As for tone I will try and fix this issue but could you maybe give me the specific sources that were found to be unprofessional?
 * Please take the time to think about what a secondary source is, as defined above, and apply the definition yourself. You have to put in the work to actually engage with what MEDRS calls for, and I have seen no sign of you doing that yet. What does MEDRS call for? Jytdog (talk) 22:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
