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.
