Journal refs edit

To make a linked sci journal ref, get the articles PMID number from PubMed and type that into https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi. This creates a ref that can be inserted within the ref marks. I used this on Naviaux. David notMD (talk) 02:01, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Other minor changes edit

Hi.

  • As you may have seen, I moved the article to Draft:Modbiotics, though I have questions about that at Draft talk:Modbiotics.
  • Three of the references had been used more than once (3, 2, and 2). When you use a ref the first time, use <ref name="somethingUnique">...</ref>. Then, when you need to cite that ref again, you can just use <ref name="somethingUnique" /> instead of copying the full cite.
  • As you referred to earlier, and David said above, while your (well-formatted) cites are fine, it's useful if readers can click a link to the article abstract or full text. I used the template-filler tool on the first cite after searching for the journal article, going to the PubMed abstract of it, and copying the PMID (26431716) for use in the template filler. In this case, the article's full text is available at PMC, which is also linked in the cite (beside the green lock icon). I'd encourage you to use the tool to improve the cites in this way. I like this particular combination of options: [1]
  • I replaced "curly quotes" with "straight quotes" per MOS:STRAIGHT.
  • I removed the ™s per MOS:TMRULES bullet 5.

November 2019 edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Draft talk:Modbiotics, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Modbiotics edit

 

Hello, Lizmo1977. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Modbiotics".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
