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. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested 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 requires recent secondary sources to support information; its 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.


 * Wikipedia is a kingdom full of 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, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it 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 problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Sydney Poore/FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 23:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi JKSingh MD,

Thanks for giving me some goals and direction for your article! Overall, I think the lead section is written in simple enough language and is succinct and to the point. The outline of the article makes logical sense and is easy to follow.

Suggestions for things to add/change:

1. Negative health effects of snus and nasal snuff 2. Side effects of NRT 3. Maybe some data regarding the cost of NRT in places other than England? 4. Flush out the Global Health section if there is any more data to add 5. Minor grammatical errors (semi-colons, commas, avoiding the use of “you,” etc.)

The quality of the works cited looks great.

Hope that helps a bit! Please let me know if there’s anything else you want me to look at or review in particular.

Hi JKSingh MD,

For the article that I am editing, endometriosis, I’m wondering what you think about the overall outline of the article – any suggestions for reorganizing or reformatting in particular? I wrote two entirely new sections at the end of the article (“History” and “Society and Culture”) – any specific feedback regarding these two sections in particular would be greatly appreciated. Also, I’d love any feedback for the introduction, which I’m in the process of rewriting. Thanks! Dr. MRM 23 (talk)
