Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

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! Spyder212 (talk) 01:50, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! Thank you for adding citations to articles. I really appreciate your work, and I hope you'll keep doing it. If you're adding something that's marked with a {{citation needed}} tag, please remove the tag while you're at it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:30, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not removing citation needed tags

[edit]

Hello, thanks again for your work ... but at [[Radiation therapy, you didn't remove a citation needed tag, again. If you continue not to remove citation needed tags while adding text, you may be blocked, especially if you don't respond to messages. Graham87 14:59, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you have responded to a message on your talk page, so I feel comfortable that you know of its existence and therefore are much less likely to be blocked. There is a new section link on talk pages that does exactly what it says; see Help:Talk pages for more details. Graham87 15:07, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi Lonnie14! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Pediatric surgery that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — MarkH21talk 07:25, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
