Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Materialscientist (talk) 07:57, 10 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.

 * I would assume that you are the author of this peice
 * Often authors give the publisher the ownership of what they wrote such that they cannot republish it.
 * Also better to use secondary sources such as review articles. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 19:23, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
