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.
