Hello, Matthew.Lee4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Diffuse infantile fibromatosis

Hi. I noticed that you added a lengthy quote from Cancer.gov to the "Diagnosis" section of the diffuse infantile fibromatosis article. This is not the appropriate way to expand a Wikipedia article. For starters, when it comes to adding content to Wikipedia, you should be working from recent systematic review articles whenever possible. The National Cancer Institute is not a bad source, but there are better ones out there - for example, that web page cites no sources, and doesn't lead people back to the literature. In addition, you can't say things like If your child has symptoms of IM, your doctor will use scans such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT to see where the tumor is and how big it is. While it might be appropriate for the author of that webpage to give medical advice, it isn't appropriate for a Wikipedia article to give medical advice.

Please take a look at WP:MEDRS for some help with sourcing, and WP:MEDMOS for more information on how to structure a Wikipedia article about a medical topic. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:58, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
