35px|left|alt= ↗ 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 article ↗s, 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 ↗. 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.  <span style="color:#0000f1">'''Doc James'''</span> (talk · contribs ↗ · email ↗) 11:19, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Welcome

thumb|thumbtime=2:59|right|320px|Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine ↗
Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
# Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
# We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and ''summarizing'' what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT ↗ as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing ↗ content based on primary sources. (For the difference between primary and secondary sources, see WP:MEDDEF ↗.)
#Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS ↗). High-quality sources include review articles ↗ (which are not the same as peer-reviewed ↗), position statements from nationally and internationally recognized bodies (like CDC ↗, WHO ↗, FDA ↗), and major medical textbooks. Lower-quality sources are typically removed. Please beware of predatory publishers ↗ – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list ↗.
#The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS ↗. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD ↗. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
# We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME ↗.
# More generally see WP:MEDHOW ↗, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, how to format citations quickly and easily.
#Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
#We use very few capital letters per WP:MOSCAPS ↗, and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
#Common terms are not usually wikilinked -- be wary of overlinking ↗; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
#Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
#Please format citations consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID ↗ for journal articles and ISBN ↗ for books; see WP:MEDHOW ↗ for how to format citations.
#Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software ↗ on new edits.
#Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.

Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us! Please share these guidelines with other new editors.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text ↗ to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as :ALS ↗. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism ↗, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources ↗, including the usage of an attribution template ↗. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. ''Please try to avoid Frontiers journals altogether. They are quasi-predatory, meaning that their content can be dodgy.'' —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:41, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you for the reminder. RE the ''Frontiers Journals'' advice, this appears to be grapevine ↗ information. Not arguing that opinion, but this journal has a DOI ↗. There are built-in filters during journal template submission that flag inappropriate DOI sources. Apparently ''Frontiers Journals'' needs to be added to that filter list... above my skill level.TomStonehunter (talk) 15:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
::A doi is not really a mark of quality. The frontiers and mpdi journals occasionally publish things that okay to cite. It's not depreciated, simply discouraged. There are various user scripts that highlight them in yellow already. For instance: User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter if I'm not mistaken. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:42, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
:::RE CiteHighlighter, one more addition into the tool box. Cool color coding.<br>
:::RE ''Frontiers Journals ↗'', its Wiki article appears to include a cut-n-paste violation in its opening paragraph; the text was cited. This is same ALS scenario you flagged me for violating. Confusing- the fine line between right and wrong. TomStonehunter (talk) 16:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
::::When you quote, you do attribute implicitly, so you're less likely to violate any copyright. Longer quotes can still be problematic, and even shorter quotes are often against the philosophy of Wikipedia of generating truly free information. It's not an easy topic indeed. For instance, quite a few experienced editors struggle with WP:close paraphrasing ↗, where they change a few things but the text is still mostly copied from the original, which can be a copyright violation as much as simply copying everything. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
