[edit]Hello, Houstonsummers, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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 complete the student training, 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.

Welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for new editors:
- Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
- References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
- If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
- Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
- Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
- Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
- Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
- Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.
Again welcome and thank you for joining us.
P.S. Please share this with fellow new editors.

[edit]By the way you are using great refs. They could just be formatted a little better as explained at WP:MEDHOW. Happy editing. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:31, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
