Hello, Julianaquintero0917, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Health and medicine topics

Hi! I saw that you edited an article on a medical topic. I wanted to let you know that these articles have very specific requirements when it comes to editing and sourcing. For example, it's important to avoid using primary sources like studies because they were the ones who conducted the research or are recording their own experiences. This poses an issue with verification and also notability, as the publisher doesn't actually verify the claims or provide any sort of in-depth commentary on the material.

The topic may end up being more difficult to edit than a non-medical topic because of this, especially if the topic is already very well covered. To this end, if you are interested in editing this article you must take this training module on editing health, medicine, and psychology topics. You can read more about this here as well.
