Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

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! -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 23:20, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A little more: I agree with you that the articles are nowhere near perfect and require a lot of work - and I understand that as an unregistered user you are unfortunately blocked from editing COVID-19 vaccine directly due to past abuse by unregistered users. There's two remedies to this - you can form paragraphs/sentences you want added (or change what's present) on the talkpage, and present reliable sourcing (for this it's mostly WP:MEDRS that applies), then request an edit by using the edit request process. Alternatively, many of the daughter pages on individual vaccines are not protected against unregistered edits, so you could start there. The second option is for you to register an account - it only takes 10 edits and 4 days to become "auto-confirmed" which would allow you to edit the semi-protected pages directly. Hopefully this helps give you some guidance for where to go next. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 23:23, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
