Welcome!

Hello, Bshin49, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

February 2020

Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Matcha— has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you.

Using the best sources for medical content

Hi, I wanted to make sure you were aware of requirements for sourcing medical content on Wikipedia. Biomedical content must be sourced according to specific Wikipedia rules. You can only use secondary sources that are reliable. Popular press articles like The Atlantic, which you are citing in your sandbox are not acceptable for Wikipedia's medical content. Instead, you should be citing material like systematic reviews. Please carefully review our training for editing health or psychology topics. Make sure that every source you are using in your sandbox complies with the medical rules before attempting to move your content out of the sandbox.

I moved your article back to your sandbox. The sourcing is not acceptable for medical content on Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:11, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
