Independent sources
We use independent sources. Also what is your connection to the organizations in question. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 17:54, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You also have a WP:COI with respect to that link and if you persist you may be blocked from editing. You will need to get consensus first. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:05, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Support Advocacies and their links for TN
Providing those reading the Trigeminal Neuralgia Wikipedia article with further reading and direction to external sites which allows further education, patient support and access for clinicians who frequently use Wikipedia to sufficient healthcare planning tools should be acceptable. These remain independent sources, plus the links factually back up the information provided within the body of TN article text. Numerous specialists in the field have agreed that dissemination of this information is essential. I am seeking to gain consensus from the Wikipedia community to include the original edits I made in November 2015 which included links to the TNA UK, TNA Australia and FPA (North America) non profit organisation links for this purpose.

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Use high-quality sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed.
 * 2) Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 3) We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 4) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
 * 5) Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
 * 6) Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
 * 7) Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
 * 8) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 9) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
 * 10) Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
 * 11) Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Please share these guidelines with other new editors.
