Hi just wondering why all the edits and links were removed. Did I do something wrong?

With regards to dyspepsia, you did not cite your sources despite explicitly referring to sources. Please bear in mind that not every journal article is suitable as a source for encyclopedia content. See WP:MEDRS for details. JFW | T@lk 20:26, 21 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Choosing sources

edit

Thanks for joining WikiProject Medicine. Your help with medical articles is very much appreciated.

On gastrointestinal bleeding you added a source (doi:10.1053/j.gastro.2011.03.048) that does not appear to support the assertions in the text that it was supporting. I couldn't find any mention of haematochezia, for instance.

The ideal sources for medical articles are recent reviews in core journals (within 5 years) or recent authoritative textbooks (e.g. Harrisson's). RCTs are not that great, because their findings depend on the population studied and might not be generalisable. Have a look at WP:MEDRS, which contains quite a lot of advice on how to select great sources. I am always happy to help! JFW | T@lk 19:40, 25 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

doi:10.7326/0003-4819-159-3-201308060-01002 is a perfect source. Great stuff! JFW | T@lk 23:25, 25 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
