Template:Did you know nominations/William Cullen edit

Jshamul, I noticed that you recently tried to nominate the William Cullen article, but you didn't complete the nomination page properly. I took a look at the article, and I'm afraid it doesn't qualify for DYK. In existing articles, they need to have been expanded by five times in the week prior to nomination; while it was expanded from 8814 prose characters to 14360 prose characters; that's an expansion under two times what it was, and not sufficient for DYK. (It would need to be expanded to 44070 prose characters.)

At this point, since the nomination cannot succeed, I'm going to put the nomination page up to be deleted. I have already removed it from being transcluded on the DYK nominations page, since it wasn't formatted properly.

I'm sorry your nomination didn't work out. I hope you'll try again. Please remember that any article you nomination does need to be either newly created within the past seven days and at least 1500 prose characters, or 5x expanded or listed as a Good Article in that period.

Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

  1. Use high-quality 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.
  2. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  3. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  4. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
  5. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
  6. Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
  7. Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
  8. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  9. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
  10. Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
  11. 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.
