Welcome!

Hello, Bliu133, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions in our FAQ.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Journal references

If you look back, there has been editing on the journal refs you have added. A common standard is last name and 1 of 2 initials for other names, no commas, no periods. With multiple authors, rather than last1= |first1= |last2= | first2=| and so on, you will see vauthors=first, second, third... If a LONG list of authors, may see after vauthors= |display-authors=5 | This will show the first five authors followed by et al.

Here is a shortcut. Write down the PMID. Go to https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi and enter the PMID. This generates a ref without the ref and /ref bookends. Cut/paste into articles. (It does not untilize display-authors=.) David notMD (talk) 12:05, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
