Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject![edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Zefr (talk) 18:10, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
March 2021[edit]
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Vitamin D deficiency. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. If you're going to edit medical content, you need to follow WP:MEDRS for choosing reliable, quality sources. This edit contains misinformation about unestablished properties of lycopene, and promotes a commercial product, which is WP:SPAM. Zefr (talk) 18:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Vitamin D deficiency, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This edit is blatant advertising and against Wikipedia rules per WP:PROMO. It is also weak science, and highly exaggerated. You and your colleague, Svetlovsky, will be reported to admin if you try again to promote this unproven, unapproved product. Zefr (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
