Welcome!

Hello, KailynKoh, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Handouts
Choosing an article to edit Editing an article • Add images to articles Citing sources on Wikipedia
Additional Resources
You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. 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 build 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. Jytdog (talk) 22:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

If you don't understand WP:MEDRS, please get help from your instructor or ambassador, or ask me. You might also find this essay helpful: WP:Why MEDRS?. Jytdog (talk) 15:31, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Edit war warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gut flora. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog (talk) 15:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Student or no student, you are a Wikipedia editor and are subject to administrative action and blocks if you keep trying to force this inappropriate content into Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 15:25, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello KailynKoh! I saw that you were involved in a bit of a scuffle over at Gut flora. This is a fairly common thing; newer editors frequently butt heads with more senior editors as the newer folks get used to things here. That said, I hope this doesn't discourage you from sticking around. There will always be some growing pains as you get used to flexing your Wikipedia muscles. The trick is to brush off the dust, (rub some dirt in your wounds), try to understand where the older editors are coming from, and keep on editing (but maybe on different articles)! Soon you'll be just another crotchety old editor hollering at the new whippersnappers!

Anyway, if you have any questions about policies or how to do something, feel free to leave me a message here or on my talk page (or at The Teahouse which is designed to be a place where newcomers can ask anything!). I really do hope you decide to stick around. There's a lot of work to be done here, and we could use all the hands we can get! Good luck with everything, and happy editing!
