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. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new 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.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Sandy Georgia (Talk)  19:19, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Your edits to Immune system
Your edits to the Featured article Immune system have been removed twice, and you have now added non-MEDRS sources from the same author (Zhang) a third time. Featured articles on Wikipedia must conform to certain standards, and have been vetted by the community. You should gain consensus before making changes. Please have a look at the following pages: Learning the ropes at Wikipedia can be challenging, and starting by editing a Featured article will be even harder; please use the article talk page, or join WT:MED where you might ask broader questions and meet others to help learn the standards of editing.

 * WP:LEADCITE; leads need not be cited, and that content is already cited in the body.
 * WP:MEDRS; one of the articles you are citing is not a MEDRS source.
 * WP:FAOWN; please gain consensus on talk before re-adding material
 * WP:EDITWAR and WP:3RR; you should not continue adding material after it has been removed once.
 * WP:LINKSPAM can be a problem when an editor consistently adds certain sources or one author (eg Zhang)


 * Dear Sandy,
 * If you remove the citations from me, please let me know. I only realize that you removed my inserted references by a notice to me today.
 * Please reconsider to add my two references back to the Featured article that I have wanted to insert the references in, since both citations reflect the new progress in both fields: the human immune system and the acquired immune deficiency.
 * Thank you!  Eastlake9W (talk) 19:54, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * You should automatically receive notifications on your watchlist when an edit is reverted. Edits to a Featured article should be discussed on its talk page; the content is already cited, so adding a non-MEDRS new citation isn't needed.  If you would like to make some improvements to the article, please discuss them at Talk:Immune system, where all editors involved with the article will engage.
