I've reverted your changes to TMD as the sources were initial studies. Wikipedia needs reviews, textbooks, etc for sources. See wp:medrs for detailed guidance. Kind regards, Matthew Ferguson (talk) 09:22, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other reversions to your edits

Same to your edits to the vitamin D article. While clearly in good faith, edits and citations should not be about primary research such as clinical trials. Instead Wikipedia requires use of meta-analyses, systematic reviews, reviews and government or NGO position papers. David notMD (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. 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.

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
Then click on "templates",
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

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. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:24, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
