Hello, Josue Hernanadez, 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.

Concussions in sport

Hi. I noticed that your additions to the Concussions in sport article were reverted, and I wanted to give you some feedback on the issues there.

• You didn't include inline sources with your additions to the article. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be tied directly to a reliable source. After the statement, there should be a source. You can use a single source to support several sentences in a row, if it supports everything you say in those sentences, but you need to have at least one source per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any text after the final reference in a paragraph. You should follow the instructions on this training slide to add inline citations.
• When you're editing medical content, you need to rely on a higher standard of sourcing than the normal standard for reliable sources. You need to take the Editing health and psychology topics training module, and I recommend that you also have a look at the reliable sourcing guidelines for medical articles to help understand this issue. If you have questions about it, please get in touch with me.
• You included information about return-to-play protocols and information about how to treat a concussion. As a general rule, Wikipedia does not include "how-to" information of any kind. More importantly, it is critically important that you never give medical advice in articles - if you do, and someone takes your advice, you're liable for anything that might go wrong. (That's why doctors carry malpractice insurance.)
• Finally, you included annotations about your sources and their quality. This sort of information is useful in your drafts, but shouldn't go in live Wikipedia articles. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:12, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
