Introducing myself
Hi Ingaread. I work with the Wiki Education Foundation, and help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment. If there's anything I can do to help with your assignment (or, for that matter, any other aspect of Wikipedia) please feel free to drop me a note. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Kombucha
Hi Ingaread. I saw that you just listed] the Kombucha article as something you want to work on as a student. That article is going through a very ugly WP:BATTLEGROUND period right now, with discretionary sanctions at play (you don't want to know) and several admins paying attention to it. For what it's worth I recommend you turn away from that article and work on something else. you may want to see what you can do to prevent a student from walking into a firestorm here.

 * Jytdog's advice is very good. It's a good idea to stay away from articles where editors are locked in an intractable argument. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 12:10, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!
Thank you for your edit to Kombucha. It was a good edit and supported by RS. Please do not be discouraged or bullied away from GF editing. I will be happy to help you if you have any questions. Atsme 📞📧 20:04, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for students and new editors:


 * 1) Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources 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.
 * 2) References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
 * 3) We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. 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 / ISBN.
 * 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.
