Can we be wikifriends edit

Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

  1. Use high-quality 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.
  2. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  4. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
  5. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
  6. Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
  7. Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
  8. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  9. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
  10. Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
  11. 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.

Insomnia edit

Hi. Just for your information: I've removed the info you added to Insomnia "regarding classification of an identified insomniac." I think you didn't read Thorpy's paragraph carefully enough. As I read it, the list you added was of research topics, not patient diagnoses.

But I found another use in the same section for the Thorpy source :) and reformatted the reference somewhat. In fact, what I first noticed about your edit was the (apparent) date of Thorpy's paper: today. That almost couldn't be correct.

Keep on learning! There are lots of medical articles needing small or large improvements and all-too-few "medical editors" here.

Reply to Hordaland, appreciate your conversion of my edit, did not realise that the context was about research topics. However I have been thanked by administrator status wikipedians for my edit. This possibly shows that I was right to add the edit to this section. So should my edit remain or not in your opinion?

Thank you for the message, Darnburn98 (talk) 14:31, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

With the Thorpy source and the source suggested by Doc James on the Talk page, "Management of Insomnia Disorder", there could be a very interesting new section called Research. The list you added would belong there. --Hordaland (talk) 04:51, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at User:Darnburn98/Cubinder. Thanks! SwisterTwister talk 23:30, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the comment. I have made a few changes since your comment, might be worth checking out. If the article is declined or classified as a stub, how can I get other wikipedians to help out since it wont be in the main space? (New to wikipedia, still learning in the deep end) Thanks!

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
