Be guided by these important principles

No original research

Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not advance a new position using new analysis or synthesis of published material.

Reliable sources

Ideal sources for biomedical claims include general or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party sources, such as reputable medical journals, textbooks by recognized experts, or medical guidelines and position statements from reputable expert bodies.

Use your own words

Accurately reflect sources but do not copy chunks of copyrighted text. In terms of expression, your contribution should bear little resemblance to your source.

Citing sources

Content not accompanied by an inline "citation" (a footnote marker like this^[14] linked to specified pages in a journal, textbook, etc.) that supports it might be deleted.
Copy the style of other references in the article and type your reference between <ref> and </ref>. When you publish your work, the footnote marker^[14] will appear in the text where you typed the above, and the full reference will appear at the bottom of the article in the list of references.

Enter your proposed edits below here and above the "References" heading. Also enter the exact quote that you are paraphrasing from your source textbook or article. Let me know on my talk page when you're ready for me to look at your work. If you have any questions at all, ask on my talk page. Anthony (talk) 22:17, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
