References[edit]

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 23:58, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nicotine[edit]

Hey, your edits at nicotine

here,
here, and
here

were not accepted, as you are using old sources, and primary sources. Content everywhere in Wikipedia summarizes what reliable sources say, and for health and medicine, "reliable sources" are defined in WP:MEDRS. The note I left you above has a link to MEDRS and describes it briefly.

Please also see WP:MEDHOW with regard to formatting citations for journal references and the like. Happy to answer any questions you might have about things generally; you can just leave a note below. If you want to discuss specific content, please use the article talk page at Talk:Nicotine.
