Edits to Mifepristone
Hi, I saw in your edit to Mifepristone that you changed the price from $200 to $80, but you did not update the citation, which presumably is now incongruent with the statement. Please add a citation to a reliable source that supports the change to $80/dose. Thanks! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:40, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help identifying a good citation for this change, which I believe I have subsequently successfully updated--UCDEBS (talk) 01:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Minor note on minor edits
Hi UCDEBS, just wanted to drop you a note about checking the box for minor edits. Wikipedia policies define minor edits as those that result in superficial changes to the article, including fixing typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. While it may seem like updating references or changing the price of a drug are conventionally minor edits, that's not actually the case. It's not a big deal at all that you checked the box for your edits (there's no way to uncheck it retroactively), but I thought this might be helpful to you moving forward!

WP:Tone
Hello, UCDEBS. In addition to what Doc James stated above (which, looking at this and this edit, you've taken into consideration), make sure that you are using appropriate tone. See WP:Tone for what I mean. For example, with this edit, you used the words "should be" and "unfortunately." Those words, especially the latter, should be avoided. We shouldn't tell readers that "women should be offered prompt access," and we shouldn't state what we believe to be unfortunate.

 * Yes we should just state the facts without words of emotion. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 05:23, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this edit, UCDEBS.


 * One more thing: If at any article you are looking to make drastic changes, it may be best to first propose the changes on the article's talk page. This is especially the case for controversial topics. See the WP:CAREFUL section of WP:BOLD and WP:CAUTIOUS. I'm not saying you are looking to make drastic changes to any article; it's just a heads up. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:36, 8 August 2019 (UTC) Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:38, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
