Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!
[edit]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 requires recent secondary sources to support information; its 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.
- Wikipedia is a kingdom full of 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, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it 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!
Primary sources
[edit]Per WP:MEDRS we typically use secondary rather than primary sources.
I have moved the content you added here [1] so that we can discuss as a review disagrees with some of it. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Using your own primary sources is not appropriate. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:32, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- I removed your additions to nudge theory and copied them to Talk:Nudge theory#Primary self-source added by D kout moved here. Please avoid using your own publications and using wp:primary sources. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 04:28, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Doc James (talk · contribs) I note you removed a Koutoukidis DA authored paper from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This July 2019 edit to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease also added a citation by a Koutoukidis DA authored paper. That citation is in the current form of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Should it be removed? Adakiko (talk) 05:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
