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 require recent secondary sources to support information; their 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.
 * The Wikipedia community includes 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, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them 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!

Thanks
For all your work to improve Wikipedia. You are catching on very quickly. If you wish feel free to stop by and say hello to the rest of the medical editing community at WT:MED :-) Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 04:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * One comment on this source. We tend to not use ADAM as it is not very good plus is not produced by the NIH (they have just bought a license to it). Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 05:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC) Zefr (talk) 05:07, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zefr. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Resveratrol, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Please use reviews of human research to support medical topics, covered in WP:MEDRS. Here's a tutorial for further information.'' Zefr (talk) 05:10, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Resveratrol, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 06:19, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * On my talk page, you said: "Reading the Wikipedia page on reliable sources, it suggests using medical journals. I cited two different reliable medical journals, the American Journal of Medicine and the New England Journal of Medicine, and both my edits were taken down because I did not cite a “reliable source”. Please can I have specific examples of what a reliable source can be and why those medical journals can not be considered reliable sources."
 * It is not only about the journal quality, but mainly about what the study design was and what it found. Your sources are WP:PRIMARY research (i.e., based on lab or incomplete human studies). Both references are also many years out of date; see WP:MEDDATE. Writing/editing for medical topics in the encyclopedia uses best-established recent information, and is not like producing a term paper or journal article where old and primary research could be used as background. It is about providing well-corroborated content derived from systematic reviews or a meta-analysis of clinical trials (i.e., high-quality human studies which are not available for any disease or aging research on resveratrol), discussed in WP:MEDASSESS. Please review the general WP:MEDRS guide and the other resources for new medical editors on my talk page. This review you used, PMID 28989978, shows the low quality of human disease research on resveratrol. Some history of discussing primary research is also on the Talk:Resveratrol page, which is advisable to check before editing any article. Also, please be careful with your grammar - the sentences you used, beginning with "Although in vivo biological research..." and "Although recent studies...", are not correct syntax. --Zefr (talk) 15:31, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
