Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Waleeda2018, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Notes
[edit]Hi, I looked over your draft.
- I'm a little concerned that it's shorter than what the current article looks like, so I don't know if this is just the part of the article you want to work on or if this is meant to replace the entire article. If it's meant to replace the article, keep in mind that you should only remove information if it's problematic and absolutely necessary, as otherwise your edits will be reverted to restore the information.
- Since this deals with medicine and health, you must take this training module, which goes over how to edit in this topic area. I know that you've already done a lot of writing, but this is definitely an important module as sourcing and writing guidelines are far more stringent in this topic area.
- This is part of the prior note, but important enough to highlight on its own. I saw that you used studies, however they need to be accompanied by a secondary source that covers the study and gives it context (as well as verification of its claims). The reason for this is that studies are primary sources for any claims or research conducted by its authors. The studies are also limited, as they can't test all people for all possible issues, so the findings are only applicable for those participants at that point in time. The publisher doesn't give context to the study or fully verify all of the claims because they just don't have the time and staff to do this (not to mention money), so they really only check to make sure that the study isn't inherently problematic. The training module goes over this and you can read more at WP:MEDRS.
I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:36, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
- I just realized that you were asking what to edit instead of notes. The mention of the study is still applicable here, as is the need to review that training module. As for what to edit, I'd focus specifically on one section and if possible, do others. A good option may actually be to summarize the article in the lead section. A lead serves the same purpose as an introduction and gives a brief overview of what the article covers, giving only a very general overview of the contents. If you want something that may admittedly be a lot easier than editing a health article, you can look at expanding the article on The Botany of Desire, which covers the history of humans selectively breeding, engineering, and growing plants, including cannabis. We have a brochure on editing book articles, if that would help any. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:41, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
