Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
 * 1) Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
 * 2) We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do.  Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.  (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
 * 3) Use high-quality, recent, secondary 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. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
 * 4) Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
 * 5) We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
 * 6) Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
 * 7) Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
 * 8) Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
 * 9) Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
 * 10) Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
 * 11) The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
 * 12) Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
 * 13) 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.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Kombucha. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. ''Please read WP:MEDRS. Your added content is original research. Any content relating to human health needs MEDRS-quality sources.'' Zefr (talk) 17:16, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Kombucha shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
