Tips- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, Justiyaya 16:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

[edit]
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Sebaceous gland, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 17:10, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Zefr "not a common human anatomical term - more for birds, as the source says"
- Which source? Plus I added it as "also known as" since this term has been since described as such for humans, albeit not much as Sebaceous for some. --Isalay (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- It is not a common anatomical term used by physicians or anatomists, as the article discusses and defines sebaceous gland mainly as applicable to humans. "Oil gland" may be a common lay term, but this source discussed birds and non-human animals having scent glands. I don't think it is relevant to add a section on other oil glands to the sebaceous gland article. Zefr (talk) 17:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Zefr, I'd wager that Isalay looked at my contributions and saw that I'd edited the sex cords article. There, Isalay added a "Not to be confused with Sex card." disambiguation note.[1] "Sex card" is a redirect. But even if it wasn't one, I don't think there's a great risk of people confusing "sex cord" with "sex card". GBFEE (talk) 20:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- @GBFEE It is a prophylactic addition. Wikipedia disambiguation does not necessarily remove this notion since it can include spelling variations. If you think this is not a big deal, you are free to remove it from the page. And what's with the wager to Zefr? --Isalay (talk) 19:47, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
