Medical content sourcing

Please have a look at WP:MEDRS; for biomedical content, Wikipedia typically requires secondary sources and avoids primary sources. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:16, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi EquityAce, I'm MrOllie. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently made additions to one or more articles such as Diabetic retinopathy without citing a reliable source. Please note that all content and edits on Wikipedia are expected to be verifiable in reliable sources. In articles related to medical topics, the standard for content and sourcing is defined at WP:MEDRS, and in your edit you did not include any references that meet that ideal. Please have a look at MEDRS to learn about the quality standards for medical sourcing. You might also want to take a look at WikiProject Medicine. If you have any questions related to sourcing of medical issues, you can ask at the WikiProject Medicine Talk page. For general questions about sourcing, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Thanks @MrOllie. As a career clinical researcher the WP:MEDRS are a bit misguided with respect to clinical research and the community of practicing physicians, and could mislead patients and the public. I’ve added my comments to the WikiProject Medicine Talk page. EquityAce (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I’ve revised the sentence and updated citations to meet WP:MEDRS secondary source criteria. EquityAce (talk) 02:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
