Introducing errors on Al Shaqab
Please be much more careful in proofreading your work. I understand that it is arguably a reflex, as a native English speaker, to type a "u" after a "q", but the small Persian Gulf country referenced in this article has never romanized its name as "Quatar"; it is Qatar. Thanks for your future mindfulness. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  23:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the helpful feedback, will keep it in mind! LimeGingerTea (talk) 14:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Help me understand a revert
Hello! Can you help me understand why this change was reverted? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arteriovenous_malformation&type=revision&diff=1099557946&oldid=1099541165 ? Thank you! LimeGingerTea (talk) 04:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Among other problmatical things, what you added was a search URL. Search results are not reliable sources for anything, so another editor saw that and reverted it. Agreed, a better edit summary might have been helpful.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 05:54, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay. I've modified the entry to refer to an alternative source.
 * However! Followup question :
 * Orphanet's URLs for general public information are always formatted in that way, and it is generally the most comprehensive source of information on specific diseases. It would be regrettable if we sent readers to less comprehensive sources because of this.
 * If one searches by the Orphanet index number (let's say ORPHA:774 for the disease in the entry) one gets either this page destined to medical professionals which doesn't really explain the genetic piece or this page which only lays out how this particular disease maps out to the Orphanet data model, and going to the http://www.orpha.net/ORDO/Orphanet_774 URL just ends in recursion.
 * What would be the best way to proceed for diseases where there are no good alternative sources, should I link the page destined to medical professionals?
 * Thank you! LimeGingerTea (talk) 14:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't have a good answer for you. Orphanet is a database that links to other sources about the diseases cataloged there. In this sense, it might be considered a tertiary source, but is not itself what Wikipedia is looking for when trying to discuss medically-related topics. Someone with more familiarity with MEDRS may be able to point you in the right direction. Writing about health topics on Wikipedia is particularly difficult, since the quality of sources used must be very high.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 06:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
