  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Macadamia oil, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

hello dear Zefr, I added (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/macadamia-nuts#:~:text=Macadamia%20nuts%20are%20rich%20in%20vitamins%2C%20minerals%2C%20fiber%2C%20antioxidants,it%20to%20your%20diet%20today.), isn't that considered a reference ? Nathliebea (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Healthline is not a reliable source - its articles are written by non-expert bloggers. For nutrient content in a product like macadamia oil, we need a rigorous analytical source, like the USDA FoodData Central database, but there is no entry there. For any claim about a medical effect, such as lowering LDL levels, we need a WP:MEDRS review - no such publication exists for macadamia oil. Zefr (talk) 20:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hi Nathliebea! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Sugar substitute that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Medical sourcing

edit

Please have a look at WP:MEDRS, which lays out Wikipedia's requirements for medical sourcing. Note in particular that primary sources such as single studies don't meet the bar, even when published in peer reviewed medical journals. Systematic reviews are preferred. - MrOllie (talk) 19:59, 6 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
