Welcome!

Hello, Colettedepardieu, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Explaining edit plan to Elysia

Hello Elysia. I plan to edit the epidemiology section of the wikipedia page Placenta Praevia. I will use sources to add specific information about the risk factors, prevalence, and outcomes of Placenta Praevia around the world. I will use the fourth source for my information regarding Placenta Praevia in Africa. <Senkoro et al., 2017> Next I will use source five to cover Placenta Praevia in Asia. <Fan et al., 2016> Lastly, I will use the first source that was provided by another wikiedu user to elaborate on Placenta Praevia in the Americas, Europe, and Australia. <Cresswell et al., 2013>

Hi Colettedepardieu, thanks for the message. I saw you took the training on editing health and psychology topics, so make sure you abide by the polices outlined in that training since Placenta praevia is a medical topic. If you need a refresher, you can read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). An important takeaway is that "Ideal sources for biomedical material include literature reviews or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies."

Edits you add that don't comply with this policy are likely to be quickly undone, so it's important that you understand what references are acceptable before starting out. Happy editing! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:30, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
