Wrong format for sic journal references
editI see that you have been addressing some "citation needed" with sci journal refs, but treating those as website references. See other refs in those articles for what a journal ref format should be. There is a hyperlink that auto-generates references when you enter the PMID. The hyperlink is https://tools.wmflabs.org/citation-template-filling/cgi-bin/index.cgi. When pasting that into the Wikipedia article, remember to bracket it with the ref and /ref. Please go back to the articles you ref-added to date and revise the references. David notMD (talk) 12:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- @David notMD Thanks for letting me know. Will remember that next time when I publish a reference for sure! Cystidia (talk) 15:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- @David notMD I'll also make sure to revise those erroneously-formatted references as well. Cystidia (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Medical/Health articles
editFor refs for medical/health articles, there is a special requirement described at WP:MEDRS. Briefly, refs should be reviews, systematic reviews or meta-analyses; should not be to in vitro or animal research articles or clinical trials. David notMD (talk) 12:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
