User talk:DoctorH02/Intrauterine device

Hi, here are my thoughts on your sandbox:
 * I noticed you haven't added any links yet. Links help readers navigate between related Wikipedia articles. To insert a link, go into edit mode and highlight a word or phrase with your cursor. Then click the chain icon on the top toolbar to add a link.I like to have at least one link per paragraph, and sometimes as many as one link per sentence.
 * Watch out for value judgements like "good" or "bad" ("The IUD is a good birth control option for most women.") Instead you could say descriptive things like "safe" or "effective", which can be backed up with citations to reliable sources.
 * "Fertility returns to normal rapidly after an IUD is removed" it would be good to have more detail here, how quick is "rapidly"?
 * You'll want to make sure all your content is adequately cited. If multiple, consecutive sentences are drawn from the same source, it's acceptable to cite the source once at the end of the consecutive sentences. That means that you shouldn't have any paragraphs or sections that end without a citation.
 * As an addendum, it's okay if the lead doesn't have citations for everything as long as the lead is summarizing content that is adequately referenced in the body of the article.
 * Wikipedia has a style guide so that article formatting is consistent. One part of the style guide is that references directy follow punctuation (no space after period and before ref). After a citation, you'll want to have a single space, then start your next sentence. I'm referring to the sentence that ends "...estimated failures rates of 0.5%, 0.15%, and 13%, respectively"
 * The references you're using look like good medical sources. Nicely done!
 * Watch out for over-emphasis on the US. The article for IUD should have a global scope. It looks like many of the statistics are specific to the US, and only FDA guidelines are mentioned. Only articles that are titled specifically to one region should be limited to that region (see Birth control in the United States). All other articles should have a global scope.

Let me know if you have questions about any of this feedback. As an aside, did you realize that another participant in our cohort is working on edits to this article? You can see their sandbox here. You will probably want to coordinate your improvements to this article. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:45, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
