Please stop deleting our page this is for a project and we really don't need someone deciding what is "irresponsible" thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunterashlyn (talk • contribs)


 * You might want to respond at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. A WP:Permalink for that section is here. Flyer22 (talk) 04:37, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I have compiled a list of some common mistakes students and new editors make:


 * 1) The highest quality sources are needed for medical content. This include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed) position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed per WP:MEDRS.
 * 2) References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
 * 3) We use very few capital letters. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 4) Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
 * 5) If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
 * 6) Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID.
 * 7) Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
 * 8) Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
 * 9) Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
 * 10) Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

 * Hi, Hunterashlyn,

Please understand that Wikipedia is not simply a place for you to do your class assignment. Despite our wp:Medical disclaimer, it is still used as a reference by real-world people, including some who are making difficult decisions with serious consequences. Accordingly, we take seriously the need to ensure that it is based on trustworthy sources. That is why we adhere to wp:MEDRS. We must choose to say nothing rather than mislead. To function usefully on Wikipedia it is necessary to start by assembling current secondary literature on a topic. This includes review articles, textbooks, etc. but it expressly excludes primary sources such as are usually marked "Original article", "Comment", "Editorial", etc. Should you have trouble distinguishing which sources are secondary, just ask at wp:RSN. You will find that editors there are more than willing to help. If you would prefer to simply ignore Wikipedia's policies and practices, then I suggest you make a copy of the article at User:Hunterashlyn/sandbox/Bigender and edit it to your heart's content where no-one will need to revert your work.
