Welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
- Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
- We do that, by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF)
- Please use high-quality, recent, secondary 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. Please be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
- The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead, that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
- More generally see WP:MEDHOW
- Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
- Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
- Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
- Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
- Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
- 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.

References
[edit]Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:48, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

- We do not use press releases. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:50, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
This is a primary source[1] We have secondary sources on this topic that we are using already. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:37, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

[edit]By the way this text "US FDA granted it priority review status"
Was already in that section just a few sentences up. No need to add the exact wording a second time. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
class assignment?
[edit]Hi there,
It looks like you may be working on a class assignment. I work with Wiki Education, a non-profit that provides support to instructors and students contributing to Wikipedia for a class assignment. I see you're at the University of Kentucky. Could you tell me the professor's name/email so I can get some information and resources to him/her? --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:05, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello There,
The professor's name is Dr. Robert Lodder at UKY Ahwchemistry (talk) 20:16, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks very much. We'll reach out to him by email. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:22, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
