So.. what do you need assistance with, that you were asking for adoption? Prince of Canadat 19:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Honestly I'm really interested in building articles and just generally learning my way around here. I have a lot of medically-related knowledge, I'm just unsure of really basic things and the way things are done around here. Eternallyjess (talk) 21:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Alrighty.. well.. show me an article you think you can add something to, and tell me what you'd like to add, and we'll walk through it. Prince of Canadat 21:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

For instance, Sarcoma itself is cancer but the article talking about it is little more than a list. It needs to be expanded with sources, but I'm unsure exactly what "good sources" would be considered. Is WebMD? Are hospital websites?Eternallyjess (talk) 13:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, where you need to start is WP:RS. That's the policy on Reliable Sources. Basically, any source you use needs to be reliable, third party, and published (unpublished material can't be verified). WP:MEDRS is also something specific you should look at, as it's the guidelines for reliable sources for medical articles. Prince of Canadat 17:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
