Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

Welcome!

Hello, Mtallan1013, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

A few friendly tips

Hi Mtallen1013!

I appreciate your work to improve the Patient participation article, and wanted to share a few tips.

If you'd like to elaborate on sources of interest in patient participation, BMJ might be a good place to start, particularly the pages about patient peer review,^{[tips 1]} a program I participate in, and Patient partnership campaign.^{[tips 2]}
The Society for Participatory Medicine might be another good source, especially their e-Patients blog and Journal of Participatory Medicine.
When using {{cite journal}}, it's unnecessary to include the full URL for articles in PubMed Central. If you include the PMC ID in |pmc= (just use the numeric part) and |url= is blank, the article title will automatically link to PMC.
{{reflist-talk}} is a special version of {{reflist}} for talk pages. Like {{reflist}} and {{notelist}} it has a parameter |group= that can be used to collect a subset of notes with the same group value in the opening ref tag (e.g. <ref group=tips>).

Thanks again, and feel free to leave a note on my talk page if I can be of assistance.
