History of medicine

Hi Kkoscelny, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for improving Wikipedia's coverage of medicine-related articles through your course. I saw your edit on History of medicine and checked the source you cited, innovationinfo.org. It turns out that website actually copies material from Wikipedia and pretends that the text is its own. For example, on the page you cited, the paragraph about innovation is copied from Wikipedia's article for innovation. I suspect that InnovationInfo is a predatory journal, and is not to be trusted. Additionally, Wikipedia cannot cite itself, even if the citation is to a source that copied Wikipedia. But citing a Wikipedia mirror is a mistake many experienced editors have made, so you didn't do anything wrong. Good luck with your class, and happy editing!
