Your draft
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Editing_Wikipedia_brochure_%28Wiki_Education_Foundation%29_%282017%29.pdf/page1-220px-Editing_Wikipedia_brochure_%28Wiki_Education_Foundation%29_%282017%29.pdf.jpg)
I returned your draft to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace. Please have a look at pages 7-9 of the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've attached.
Some obvious issues include the fact that your article lacks a lead section that summarized all the main points of the article in a way that's proportional to the coverage in the article body.
You don't use sections, and your paragraphs are too long to be easily read. You should start each paragraph with the main take-home point, and use the rest of the article to provide more details. But you should write with the assumption that no one is going to read past the first sentence, and focus on giving them as much value as you can right at the start.
More generally, for a medical article you should follow the the style guide for medical-related articles. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- I returned your draft to your sandbox because it's still not ready for mainspace. As a medical article, the standards are higher than for most other topics, but even without that requirement, you still haven't followed the recommendations I made here. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
