Your submission at Articles for creation: Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults (December 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Bkissin were:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Childhood cancer instead.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Cancer in Adolescents and Young Adults, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DarylM at NCI. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Douglas R. Lowy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:48, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread has been archived

Hi DarylM at NCI! You created a thread called Updating information on my U.S. government agency page at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.

27-NOV-2019

Hello! I have reverted the changes you made to Talk:National Cancer Institute because those changes did not follow the guidelines at WP:REDACTED. Those guidelines state that once an editor has posted after you, any changes made to your previous post need to use ~~strikeout font~~ for removed items and underlined font for added items. Please ensure that older talk page posts made by yourself are only altered using those guidelines. The request edit template is perfectly fine to alter in order to let other editors know that a change has been made. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 20:37, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

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! Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:19, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Cancer in adolescents and young adults did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! IntentionallyDense (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for calling my attention to the lack of edit summaries for the changes I made. I thought I had provided summaries but I see they do not appear in the View History. I had reverted the deletion of text in the Epidemiology section and provided a citation for the material.

Also, thank you for instructions for setting a reminder when entering a blank summary. I have changed my settings accordingly. DarylM at NCI (talk) 19:59, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
