Hello, Anicm1, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Medical content editing - Amantadine

edit

Welcome to medical editing! See WP:MEDHOW and WP:WHYMEDRS for why reviews (and not speculation from in vitro research) are needed. Feel free to respond here on your talk page. Good luck. Zefr (talk) 17:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

On my talk page, you said: thank you for the edits you made on the Amantadine page that I am editing as part of a Wiki editing course. I read your comments regarding your edits. It would be very helpful for me as a novice Wiki editor if you could give me some direction on ways I can improve the content that was removed. This would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and contributions.
I reverted this edit because your sources were from in vitro studies used to interpret Parkinson's mechanisms, introducing speculation into the article. According to WP:MEDRS (particularly WP:MEDANIMAL), in vitro results can be cherry-picked, are based on unphysiological conditions, usually don't report negative results, and are often non-replicable, making them unencyclopedic. Particularly for clinical disorders, we prefer sources from rigorous, systematic reviews or clinical organizations. The journal, Brain Injury, is not a place where reviews on Parkinson's appear. Read WHYMEDRS for more background. Feel free to respond here on your page. Zefr (talk) 17:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
