Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!
[edit]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. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new 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 questions. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages!

[edit]Greetings from another editor on Wikipedia. It looks like you are off to a good start with editing. I would like to let you know that your article has some questionable references and probably not enough references. I would like to help you out by helping to edit the article by using references that meet WP:MEDRS - a fancy name for reliable medical references. I also edit medical articles and it can take a little getting used to. I'll check back with you in a bit.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Familial multiple lipomatosis, from its old location at User:Fdrs2014/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 03:22, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: Familial multiple lipomatosis (February 8)
[edit]
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Familial multiple lipomatosis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
- You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
Hi Fdrs, I got your message. Regarding the lipedema page's research section, there were several issues with it. First, there were bare links in it. Second, we generally do not just provide links for readers in the middle of the page showing them the research. A research section should really be filled with a summary of the areas lipedema research is currently exploring and have high-quality secondary sources compliant with WP:MEDRS cited for support (I suggest having a look at WP:MEDMOS for more details). If there isn't much research yet, that's okay. We will wait for the research to emerge instead of trying to predict what will happen (see WP:CRYSTALBALL). After taking a look myself on PubMed, I agree with you that there isn't a ton of literature on the topic (this is likely because it is so rare), but there is a fair number of review articles discussing the topic that are very usable (I would suggest starting with either of these free review articles: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23231593 or http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22301856). One example of a research directions section I can recommend as a model of what to do is in the featured article celiac disease. Please let me know if you have further questions.
