Hello Cornishrom20 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Less can be more

When I started an effort to raise Vitamin A to Good Article status, I first cut length by 20% and number of refs by more than 30%, then built it up. Some articles need to be shorter. David notMD (talk) 13:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wow… well I guess that’s right Cornishrom20 (talk) 13:13, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
But seriously? Vitamin A? Cornishrom20 (talk) 13:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article honestly looks really good to be honest though, you did a good job Cornishrom20 (talk) 13:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Medical/health articles have a high standard for references explained at WP:MEDRS. A lot of what was at Vitamin A (and the other 10 of 13 vitamin articles I have raised to GA) were for in vitro studies, animal trials, human case studies and human clinical trials. Even the last does not meet MEDRS, only reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses of multiple human trials. David notMD (talk) 22:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that makes sense. Cornishrom20 (talk) 08:16, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Inline citations

edit

Hello, I saw one of your recent posts at the Wikipedia:Teahouse where you were evaluating your edits. It's no big deal to remove stuff that needs to be removed. I looked through some of your edits, and I don't see sources cited (like this one). Our citations norms are, being frank, pretty complicated. Wikipedia:Inline citation is a good starting place. You're welcome to reach out if you have questions or issues, Rjjiii (talk) 04:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah I haven’t learnt how to do citations yet Cornishrom20 (talk) 08:17, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia beginners wanted for user testing

edit

Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for beginner editors for user testing! We are working on some changes that may affect the editing experience, and we want to make sure that our changes don't make things more difficult for beginners. If you made less than 100 edits, we would love to hear from you! More information and a signup: https://greatquestion.co/wikimediadeutschland/4oADuQpx/apply. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC) PS: This is a one-time message to selected beginner editors. You won't get any further notifications if you're not interested.Reply

Sorry I don’t speak German. I’d be useless writing an article in German. Cornishrom20 (talk) 08:17, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Cornishrom20, the user testing will be conducted in English, using examples from English Wikipedia. We are intentionally looking for users from different backgrounds in order to make sure that our work is useful in different Wikipedia language versions.

Ok? What should I do? Cornishrom20 (talk) 08:18, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you're interested to support us, just sign-up here (the page offers some more information, e.g. on possible compensation and privacy). We'll contact you, if you're selected for an interview (we strive to get a diverse group of users for our tests, that's why selection depends on how many users similar to you have been selected already). Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 09:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I’ll check out the link later tonight.
