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 require recent secondary sources to support information; their 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, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them 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! Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:59, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Colleague- Why did you remove my brief but time-sesintive updates on the fast growing reports on the association of Kawasaki disease and COVID 19 that I had added earlier today under the Kawasaki disease page? Millions of people are looking up Kawasaki disease and see no mention of it. I understand you contributed substantially to the Kawasaki disease page, but this does not equate to not allowing such important updates be added during such a critical time? I had added the following, which you removed immediately: "As of mid-April 2020, there have been reports suggesting that COVID-19 may be related to an unusually high number of children who have been admitted to intensive care in France since with an inflammatory syndrome very similar to Kawasaki disease. On May 8, 2020, similar reports of high rates of Kawasaki disease in children from New York were confirmed including by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo."[reference] Can I suggest that we involve a higher level Wikipedia editor to review and arbitrate on the issue, such as those involved with WikiProject Medicine? to: (talk)from KalanK10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KalanK10 — Preceding unsigned comment added by KalanK10 (talkcontribs) 01:44, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

May 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Ganbaruby. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kawasaki disease, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.   Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 10:27, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
