Refs

Please use refs about the subject at hand. Thanks Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We need refs. We do not just get to make stuff up as it makes sense. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 16:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not publish original research. You need to get the WHO or CDC or another major organization to comment on wood ash and than we will to. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:40, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	I commend you for your excellent input in the Ebola article. It is heart-warming to see an editor that cares so much that s/he is willing to put so much time into seeing that Wikipedia gets it right! Gandydancer (talk) 13:59, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Oral rehydration therapy may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

References

We at Wikipedia love evidence based medicine. You must therefore cited the best available evidence aswell as write in a consistent format. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

Cite web template

Hi there Torsten, I see you've been making some edits to the Ebola virus disease article and that's really great! However, the way you've been referencing material for the information you've added isn't in the right format. It would be very helpful and save a lot of time & effort if you can use the proper template. Here is the cite web template: {{cite web |url= |title= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website= |publisher= |accessdate=}} Can you do that and fix the reference you put in about the Navy please? Thank you and keep up the great editing! TylerDurden8823 (talk) 09:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
