I work with the Wiki Education Foundation, and help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

Medical articles
[edit]When editing articles related about medical-related topics, please bear in mind is that the standards for citations for these is higher than the general standard for sources in Wikipedia articles. Focus more on review articles and less on the latest discoveries. Findings like these are very difficult for a non-expert to put in the proper context without synthesizing a whole body of research literature. While we encourage the use of secondary and tertiary sources in general, this is especially important in medical-related topics. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Peer Review
[edit]There's not much written, beyond the "ground zero mosque." I'm sure there's much more still to be done, but having at least some info from each of your three sources would be useful. It reads well, but of course the material is limited so there's little to go off of.
My primary question is how you plan on expanding the "Islamophobia in the media" as it's already a relatively developed page. It lacks structure, but do you know what sort of sections you'd like to put in? I would definitely recommend a strong "see also" section because there are other great pages like (see the "Islamophobia" page) Jsmerf (talk) 20:36, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
