Hello, fellow classmate!
Not the quiz ninja!
editOh man, I forgot all about the ninja. I can't believe you could find a piece of quiz ninja flair for your user page! Prof Haeffel (talk) 02:30, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Welcome
editWelcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
- Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
- We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources. (For the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF.)
- Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS). High-quality sources include review articles (which are not the same as peer-reviewed), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC, WHO, FDA), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
- The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
- More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, how to format citations quickly and easily.
- Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
- Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
- Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
- Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW for how to format citations.
- Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
- Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.
Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

- I am sorry that you apparently didn't get the training for students editing about health in Wikipedia. It is not OK to assemble mini-reviews from the research literature. We summarize secondary sources like literature reviews here in WP. Please see also WP:EXPERT, which you might find useful. Jytdog (talk) 15:37, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Incomplete DYK nomination
edit
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Euthymia (medicine) at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 17:28, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
DYK for Euthymia (medicine)
edit
On 17 July 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Euthymia (medicine), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that euthymia, a state of internal calm and contentment, is a goal of psychiatric intervention? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Euthymia (medicine). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Euthymia (medicine)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
