Welcome!
Hello, Neha576, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Neha576!
I love your user page! Love to see that you are passionate about racial equity and women's rights. Looking forward to our class discussions this semester. Psg2022 (talk) 00:20, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Neha!
My name is Zoé and I'm in your PJHC class. I'm really interested in the topic you want to cover this semester on Wiki. I look forward to all of your contributions and research. Zp 2298 (talk) 19:09, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Basketball at the 1985 Summer Universiade have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Sumanuil. 05:40, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Mental health of Asian Americans
Thanks for your contributions so far, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'd like to help you out with this page Mental health of Asian Americans, as much of the content is useful, but there are some tricky things. First, Wikipedia has very stringent guidelines on biomedical information—which mental health statistics certainly falls under—that are described in WP:MEDRS. In short, individual studies should never be used for information in these articles. Therefore, sources like should not be used. Sources like and, however, are excellent, because they review multiple studies.

You can read deeper into WP:MEDRS for why we have this rule, but in short: single studies tend to be unreliable. The edifice of modern, evidence-based medicine and health policy is based on systematic reviews of several studies, and very rarely individual studies.

So, please cite existing information to these types of sources (systematic reviews, guidelines from major psychology organizations), and remove information which cannot be found outside of a single study. Let me know if you have any questions or need advice; I'm here to help. Cheers, Ovinus (talk) 18:28, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Mental health of Asian Americans
Hi Neha. As mentioned in their response to you on their talk page, this sort of information does not belong in Wikipedia articles

Wikipedia articles are supposed to report on what reliable sources say about a topic, they are not supposed to give advice to readers or to serve as a directory. These are core Wikipedia policies outlined in What Wikipedia is not. It's a bad idea to include this sort of information in Wikipedia for a variety of reasons, but one of the main ones is that we shouldn't encourage people to make health decisions based on information they find in a website with user-created content. It's fine to accept information in Wikipedia in low-stakes settings, but it's very risky when this is information that someone needs in a life-or-death situation. It's far too easy for someone to change a phone number in an article like this, and while it will be reverted eventually, that might be hours later. A person in a mental health crisis who might stumble across that page probably won't be in the best position to check the page history to figure out when that information was added (most readers don't even know they can do that) or check the sources. It's easy for someone to insert harmful information into that page for the fun of it, and have that result in actual harm.

Another important issue that Pppery alluded to - you are edit warring. If someone reverts your addition you should never re-add that information to Wikipedia without first discussing the issue and coming to a resolution. Edit warring is seriously problematic.
