Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Use high-quality sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed.
 * 2) Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 3) We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 4) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
 * 5) Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
 * 6) Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
 * 7) Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
 * 8) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 9) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
 * 10) Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
 * 11) Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

Hi
I looked at your spate of editing yesterday. Thanks for all that!

You appear to be a scientist works in the field of reproduction. The content you added is very similar to the kind of writing done in review articles - especially this, where you string together the basic papers and narrate the story of the discovery and validation of the role of PLCζ in oocyte activation. However, this is not the kind of writing that we do in WP. What you have done is actually against the policy, WP:OR. What we do here, is summarize sources where that narration is already done.

The genre here is "encyclopedia" (and kind of a strange one at that) - the genre is not "review article".

Please have a look at WP:EXPERT which may help you get oriented better. If you don't understand what I am saying here please reply below, and we can discuss. Best regards and thanks again for your contributions! Jytdog (talk) 20:04, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Gjbbms640, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Embryo quality has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
