Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance new editors:

  1. Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
  2. References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
  3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  4. Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
  5. If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
  6. Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
  7. Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
  8. Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
  9. Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
  10. Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

User:Doc James Thank you for those links Doc James. There is clearly a problem with my edits regarding the "no primary sources" principle (especially here). I agree with this principle, and understand its reasons. I will try to comply as much as possible to it, and emphasis the context whenever I use a primary source. However I have to say this "reviews only" principle significantly narrows the scope of quality resources... Galeop (talk) 13:20, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
