Welcome! edit

Hello, Smwebster, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:48, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

What does the article (or section) do well? -I enjoy how the author has phrased a more scientific article to be easy for the everyday person to understand. The terms and concepts are easy to grasp, and she places links and citations to scientific terms that people may not be too familiar with.

What changes would you suggest overall? -possibly include the age range that CBD is most popular with -was there anything that caused this surge in CBD popularity? -possibly adding a link to THC so that people can find out more about it. -go more in-depth as to how CBD is used on animals and not just dogs. (how do animals take CBD?)

What is the most important thing that the author could do to improve his/her contribution? -I think the sections covered are pretty interesting, but diving deeper in each section and the questions I had listed above would expand this article and allow the readers to gain a better understanding of the topic.

Proposed deletion of Cannabidiol as a treatment for anxiety edit

 

The article Cannabidiol as a treatment for anxiety has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable medical sources or regulatory agencies indicate such use. It's an urban legend at present and will be for years to come until adequate clinical research can be done.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Using the best sources for medical content edit

Hi, I wanted to let you know that your sandbox was not ready for mainspace, so it has been moved back to your sandbox. You can find it here: User:Smwebster/sandbox. I wanted to make sure you were aware of requirements for sourcing medical content on Wikipedia. Biomedical content must be sourced according to specific Wikipedia rules. You can only use secondary sources that are reliable. Popular press articles and primary sources are not acceptable. Instead, you should be citing material like systematic reviews. Please carefully review our training for editing health or psychology topics. Make sure that every source you are using in your sandbox complies with the medical rules before attempting to move your content out of the sandbox.
