Content and sources on human health
When adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.


 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which has a button "Cite" click on it
 * 2) Then click on "Automatic" or "Manual"
 * 3) For Manual: Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details, then click "Insert"
 * 4) For Automatic: Paste the URL or PMID/PMC and click "Generate" and if the article is available on PubMed Central, Citoid will populate a citation which can be inserted by clicking "Insert"

We also provide style advice and WP:WHYMEDRS about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. Please don't add odd content, like "olive oil is good for your teeth", without having substantial evidence. --Zefr (talk) 03:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
