[edit]Hello, 3562nn01, 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.

Article topics
[edit]Hi! I have some feedback on your potential topics:
- Gender bias in medical diagnosis: This has a huge amount of potential for improvement, so this is a good choice for an article.
- Health care in the United States: This article is fairly lengthy and comprehensive, so apart from it needing some updating it's going to be harder to find content to add to the article since now it's going to be a matter of the finer and more specific details without getting too overly specific. (IE, the article should still be general about the topic as more specific aspects of the topic should have their own articles for the most part.)
- Something else I need to caution you on is that this article is held under sanctions. What that means is that the article topic has been the subject of controversy and debate, which means that anything you add to the article must be written as neutrally as possible and use the strongest possible sourcing. (I'll mention something about sourcing at the end.) If anything is removed from the article it's very important to discuss the removal on the article's talk page and resolve any concerns before re-adding content. This doesn't mean that you can't edit the article, just that you'll need to be a bit more cautious about what you add, how it's written, and what sources you use.
- Sexism in medicine: This article is lengthy so it may be harder to find something to add, however it's not so lengthy that it's would be truly difficult. My recommendation here is to review the article and look to see if there's anything obviously missing.
Out of all of them I do have to say that the gender bias article will be the easiest to edit, followed by the sexism and health care in the US articles. Now since these articles are more medicine specific, it's very important to pay attention to the sourcing guidelines for medicine and health related articles unless you're editing on something such as the history of the given topic. Essentially, if you're discussing the topic as it applies to history or society then it's unlikely to need to follow those specific guidelines exactly, however if you're discussing things like treatment, that should use the medical sourcing guidelines. I hope this all helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:30, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
