Watchlist help request

I have three wikipedia pages on my watch list, and in my preferences the box 'Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed' is ticked. But I don't get any emails when changes are made. Do you know why?

Hmm. Well here's one possibility. As far as I can tell, the way it works is that once an email is sent for a page on your watchlist after a change is made, you will not get another email for any future change until you view the page while logged in (not its history or a diff but the actual page), and you will only be informed by email of the first change that occurs after the last logged in viewing. See meta:Help:Watching pages#E-mail notification. Your post doesn't contain enough relevant facts to tell whether this could be the issue or not. I'll leave this request open for other ideas or your confirmation that this is the likely issue. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Fuhgettaboutit's diagnosis is correct, as far as I can tell. I'll mark this as resolved; if you still have questions, feel free to use {{helpme}} again. APerson (talk!) 17:50, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!

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 requires recent secondary sources to support information; its 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, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it 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! Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 22:13, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Carl, I will do that.
