User talk:Cjrhoads/Draft Integrative Medicine

Suggestions?

This is the first draft, and I'm looking forward to getting other's views on how this page can be improved before it is posted publicly. CJ (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made some refactoring and copy edits to roughly bring it up to our WP:MOS standards. Also removed HTML codes and replaced them with wikimarkup. HTML will work, but wikimarkup is the most commonly used coding. I'll make a few other types of edits. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:08, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've done enough for now. This is far from up to snuff for an article here. It is far too one-sided and promotional. There is no criticism at all. WP:MEDRS is also an issue. Ref work needs to be finished, with properly formatted references. Right now they are just in a rough format that works. See below for the bare minimum. Scientific citations will usually include DOI numbers. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much!!! This is exactly the kind of help I was looking for. Now I'll see how the wikimarkup looks and I'll try to use that in the future.

We can work on making it "two sided" together. Of course I must admit to being a fan of integrative healthcare. But I'm sure we can temper the "promotional" aspect of it so that just the facts remain.

A basic citation template I like to use

Here is a basic citation template I like to use:

Template: <ref name=" ">{{cite web |author-link1= |last1= |first1= |author-link2= |last2= |first2= |date= |title= |website= |url= |access-date= |quote= }}</ref>

Contents: <ref name="Harding_11/15/2017">{{cite web | author-link=Luke Harding | last=Harding | first=Luke | title=How Trump walked into Putin's web | website=[[The Guardian]] | date=November 15, 2017 | url=http://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/15/how-trump-walked-into-putins-web-luke | access-date=December 24, 2017 | quote=At first, obtaining intelligence from Moscow went well. For around six months—during the first half of the year—Steele was able to make inquiries in Russia with relative ease. }}</ref>^[1]

Result: Harding, Luke (November 15, 2017). "How Trump walked into Putin's web". The Guardian. Retrieved December 24, 2017. "At first, obtaining intelligence from Moscow went well. For around six months—during the first half of the year—Steele was able to make inquiries in Russia with relative ease."

I like to choose a unique ref name, so I use the last name(s) of the author(s) and publication date.

An alternative date format is the ISO format: "Harding_20171115"

Missing AM in the Definition section

The Definition section totally ignores Alternative medicine (AM), and that's a serious lack. IM is the integration of AM into mainstream medical practice. The AM article has several definitions that should be used here. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:53, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
