May 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Graham87. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ear canal, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Graham87 14:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, did you see my edit summary with the revert? I provided two sources for the figures that were originally in the article ... this one seems fairly compelling to me, as a non-expert. Do you have any reliable sources for medical articles that use your figures? Graham87 14:37, 8 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Cool, all good ... it seems a bit weird to me too! Your message came out fine ... with only a couple of very minor issues, which I'll mention in case you want to do more editing here. To reply to somebody it's best to indent your messages, except *I* managed to mess that up above (which I'll fix in this edit). I also added {{Reflist-talk}} to the end of the section so the refs you provided would display in the right place; quite a few experienced editors forget to do that, however. Also see the links I've put below. Graham87 11:30, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject! edit

Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine

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. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested 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 problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! Graham87 11:30, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
