Invitation
editI noticed you have been working on some health-related articles recently, and I wanted to invite you to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. (A WikiProject is a group of editors that want to work together.) You're welcome to join us if it's a subject area that interests you. It's a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time.

- Hi and thanks for the message and invitation. I'm not a medical professional but have a strong interest in the area. I'm also very new to Wikipedia editing so my apologies if I make mistakes or don't follow etiquette properly. Vanessa hexagon (talk) 22:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not a medical professional, either. It's not a requirement. The group's open to anyone who wants Wikipedia's articles on health-related topics to be improved.
- When I was new, I found that just reading the page regularly helped me learn a lot. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Great, thanks again. I'll take a look :) Vanessa hexagon (talk) 23:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
