Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject![edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).
We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information; their application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
- The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, revert, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! For now, I've undone your recent addition to Alzheimer's disease. This is an important featured article with high readership. We need to be careful to use secondary sources per wp:MEDRS to avoid inserting original research. You can probably find such sources addressing this aspect of the subject. A more subtle issue is maintaining appropriate wp:WEIGHT, so that the extent to which our article addresses sleep issues reflects the extent to which the best sources on AD address that aspect. If in doubt, there is always someone who will advise at wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. LeadSongDog come howl! 15:22, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
