Hello, Tchan12, 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.

Note

[edit]

Hi. In your your sandbox you wrote

The best time to start any prevention or intervention is when the pet is at their ideal or healthy weight

Wikipedia articles aren't supposed to give advice or try to convince their readers of any particular point of view. The information isn't bad, but it needs to be presented differently. For example (assuming that there are sources to back it up) you might say something more like

  • It's easier to maintain current weight than to lose way[says source X]
  • [These named sources or experts] recommend intervening to manage weight[source]

Make sure that you are simply talking about what reliable sources have said, not advising your readers how to proceed. You shouldn't be speaking to your readers too directly. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:34, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
