Welcome
editWelcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for new editors:
- Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
- References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
- If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
- Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
- Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
- Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
- Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
- Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.
Again welcome and thank you for joining us.
P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

Please see recent edits at the "swing" article
editYour comments regarding its complete lack of sourcing are commended. I reviewed the three sources you left there, and none even of those are encyclopedic (one dead, one circular, one self-published). Were it in my ability, I would delete the article as rubbish.

Disambiguation link notification for June 13
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of nature deities, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Devas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
