Guidance for editing
editHi, there were some issues with the article you published, so I moved it back to your sandbox. You can find it here: User:Yanni910/Medication tourism. A key issue is that you are largely duplicating an existing Wikipedia article, Medical tourism. Information about traveling to obtain prescription is under the umbrella of Medical tourism. Please edit that topic instead of creating what we call a "content fork". What is acceptable is what we call "daughter articles", though, which is why there are articles for Medical tourism in India, Medical tourism in Malaysia, and so on.
Also, you'll want to watch out for what we call "original research" or drawing your own conclusions and including them in Wikipedia. You say "...there is no doubt that this trend is only going to grow in the future". Without any citations, it looks like this is just your opinion. A better way to frame this would be "Several studies project that medication tourism will continue to grow in the future"(citation1, citation2, citation3) or something like that.
Another issue is that your content does not reflect a global view. When you edit the article Medical tourism, you should strive to include content that pertains to a diverse swath of the world, and not just the United States. Conversely, if you decide you want to create a new article, you could create an article for Medical tourism in the United States and keep the focus narrowed in on the US. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:05, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
