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! Zefr (talk) 01:25, 14 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Collagen. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please discuss disputed content first on the talk page and do not edit war, WP:WAR, WP:3RR.

Collagen edit

edit

On my talk page, you said: Regarding the edit that I made on the collagen page. I uploaded this edit as an assignment for one of my college classes. I did not mean to infringe on your page in any way. I made a new page with the information myself, and did not mean to cause a "edit war". This is my first, and most likely last, time posting on Wikipedia. Again, I apologize for any annoyance that this may have caused you.

Hello, and thanks for the courteous message. It's good to have new student editors, but we do have some guidelines for new content. Your edit here has some good information, but many of the sources are out of date and the text is too long, see WP:NOTTEXTBOOK #6-8. It's a normal process to sort things out on the talk page first where other editors can review and edit further. We can discuss further here or on the Collagen talk page where others will see the points made. Zefr (talk) 04:10, 15 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hello -- a draft revision on the Collagen talk page is here, fyi. Zefr (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Anna Maior 200445! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!
