Feedback on draft edit
Hi Bking22. I see you've added your content to Overmedication. I think what you've added is good (and certainly better than what was on the page before!), but Id like to suggest two things:
- The article you're editing is related to human health and biology and that category of articles has strict sourcing demands. You can see a bit about that here in our handout on Editing Medical Articles. Specifically, references to CNN and Salon should be removed, as popular press sources are not the best sources for claims about human health. Obviously, the article didn't have *any* of these sources before, so what you've added is a huge improvement and most of your sources are not from the popular press, but it's good to be thorough in this area.
- I think the best and most efficient way to further improve the overmedication article is to re-write the first few paragraphs so they're sourced, clear and accurate. Take a look at some other medical or human health related articles which appear well written or are well regarded by the community (the Medicine WikiProject has a showcase of medical content), then closely scrutinize what is in the current text of this article.
Once you've done those two things you can remove the warning tags on the top of the article. Thanks for your contributions so far. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:18, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Peer Review #1 edit
What you have so far is very good. It's fairly easy to understand even though it is a complicated topic and you have some great information. I would suggest adding another section, other than just the over medicating of children. As you continue to work I'm sure you will add more. Your article is unbiased yet informative and it looks great just continue to work on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megansmith34 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
