Welcome!
Hello, Gun Peterson, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:48, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Carnivore diet
I noticed in your sandbox you are thinking about developing an article on the carnivore diet. It's unlikely a full article will be created on that diet on Wikipedia due to previous disruption, edit warring and sock-puppetry. As it stands the article has been redirected. There is also the fact per WP:MEDRS "Per the policies of neutral point of view, no original research, and verifiability, Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, independent, published secondary or tertiary sources. For biomedical content, primary sources should generally not be used." There are no scientific secondary sources that support the carnivore diet and no long-term research has been done on the topic.

Editing guidance
Hi, I noticed that you were planning on creating an article for the carnivore diet. I strongly advise that you do not do this. Instead, you should edit this section of this article: Monotrophic diet, which is where Carnivore diet redirects to. You can see from the page history of carnivore diet that it has been a very controversial article. As a new editor, it would likely be ill-advised for you to try to recreate this article. Please edit the existing section instead.

Also, all content related to human health has to follow strict rules on sourcing. You can only cite secondary sources such as peer reviews. Please review our training on editing health-related content before proceeding any further. Let me know if you have any questions. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi. I moved your article back to your sandbox. Please note what Elysia had to say here. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:50, 13 March 2020 (UTC)


 * If you continue moving your sandbox to mainspace you will be blocked. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:02, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
