About Me

[edit]

My name is Brenden, I am attending St. Charles Community College for one year and then Transferring to Mizzou. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, playing sports, and working out.


Tip

[edit]
Hi Brenden. Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm another volunteer editor here, with an interest in medicine and psychology articles. Can I offer you a tip? Per our guideline for health-related articles, the best sources for such articles are scientific journals or university-level textbooks. So, rather than cite the Time article, cite the journal article they were reporting on.
  • They mentioned the date and the name of the journal, Neurology, so I went to the that edition on the journal's website and got the name of the article: "Alcohol consumption, mild cognitive impairment, and progression to dementia."
  • I searched for that title here: PubMed. This is a really useful site for quickly searching a massive database of med and psych journals. Beneath the abstract is the article's PubMed ID. In this instance it is 17515541.
  • Go to the Dementia edit page and replace the existing citation, [http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1623739,00.html], with this: {{PMID|17515541}}.
In a few hours, a bot will come along and write a perfect journal citation for you. Hope you don't mind me butting in. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 15:20, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page and User Page

[edit]

Please put your assignments section on your user page not the talk page. YOu have not done a good job of picking "stub" class articles, so go back and try to do week 3 again. Be sure to pick articles that need a lot of improvement. --MTHarden (talk) 13:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
