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!

Please note: articles on food and nutrition are within the category of medicine, and require strong sources as described in the guide WP:MEDRS. Please don't use popular lay websites to support content on food and nutrition. --Zefr (talk) 17:54, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

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) 17:52, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Welcome! Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help. Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!--Biografer (talk) 15:21, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Drive-by tagging
Friendly advice: If you slap the npov tag on an article, as you did to Atkins diet, it's a good idea to explain why you did that on the talk page, else you'll be reverted (which has been done). ~Anachronist (talk) 15:53, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the advice! I appreciate it! Sunline09 (talk) 16:27, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Quotation marks
Please note that Wikipedia uses the "logical quotation" style in all articles, regardless of the variety of English in which they are written. Based on your recent edits to List of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon characters appears that you are used to the American practice of putting punctuation inside quotation marks regardless. Please refer to MOS:LQ for guidance on how this is applied in articles. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:47, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Sunline09. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sunline09. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 23:36, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
