Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hi, LithiumCHM333!

It looks like you're editing Wikipedia as part of a classroom assignment. My colleagues and I would love to offer some advice to you and your instructor, as it looks like we are not yet in touch with your class. Can you please let me know what class, university, and instructor you're working with? This will help us offer guidance for you and your fellow students. Thank you for any information!

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have compiled a list of some common mistakes students and new editors make:

The highest quality sources are needed for medical content. This include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed) position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed per WP:MEDRS.
References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
We use very few capital letters. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID.
Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.
