Speedy deletion nomination of PEWS: Pediatric Early Warning Signs edit

Hello Kmartsbest,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged PEWS: Pediatric Early Warning Signs for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Group page edit

Hey Kmartsbest. If you would like to create a separate page from your talk page, where you and your fellow students can coordinate as you edit Wikipedia, you should probably do so in your sandbox, which you can create by clicking on "sandbox" in the upper right hand corner, if you are editing on PC. Creating it as an article is not appropriate, and could be confusing to readers. TJWtalk 17:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

She didn't know how to link it properly.Kmartsbest (talk) 17:58, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Sure. You can link to it using a wikilink. So you would type this [[User:Kmartsbest/sandbox]] and it will end up looking like this: User:Kmartsbest/sandbox. Also, instead of creating new articles as blanks and trying to work on them there, it's usually better to work on them in draft space, which, for example, you could do by clicking Draft:PEWS. Again, to avoid confusing readers, drafts are a place mostly invisible to them, where you are free to work on things prior to publishing, when it will become visible to things like search engines. Hope this helps. TJWtalk 18:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

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

  1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
  2. 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)
  3. 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 be aware that predatory publishers exist - check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
  4. 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.
  5. More generally see WP:MEDHOW
  6. Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
  7. We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
  8. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
  9. Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
  10. Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
  11. 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.
  12. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
  13. 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.
