Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
• Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
• The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! PriceDL (talk) 01:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Minor edits

Thanks for your recent edits. From what I've seen they appear to be helpful; however, I suggest you take a look at WP:MINOR for the guidance on what constitutes a minor edit. Generally the addition of almost any text would be considered a major edit, especially text which changes (or adds to) the meaning of an article. PriceDL (talk) 01:59, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Copy and pasting

Cochrane reviews are fully copyrighted. We MUST paraphrase the wording. We CANNOT use the wording word for word. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Fixed the issues [1] here. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Also we try to write in more general terms. Stuff like the number of trials in a systematic review and the number of subjects in the trials are not generally needed in the text. By the way thanks for joining us :-) Ping me if you have any more questions. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:41, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
