Welcome! edit

Hello, Nicolekha, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Editing Post traumatic stress disorder edit

Hi! I Noticed that you posted on the talk page. Welcome to Wikipedia and WikiProject Medicine! Before you dive in be sure to review WP:MEDRS to ensure your ideas for sources meet Wikiepedias guideline for reliable sources (i.e- stick to secondary sources) and WP:MEDMOS for guidelines on language and organization of the article. To be auto confirmed I am not an expert on this but I think that you just need to practice editing on articles that do not require users have experience for a few days first (4-days and over 10 edits I think, but you should be able to find the exact threshold by googling). You can also practice by posting your suggestions for sources on the article talk page to discuss your ideas for improvement with the community. I hope that you have fun with the experience and stick around to help improve other articles! JenOttawa (talk) 18:05, 18 September 2021 (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! JenOttawa (talk) 18:05, 18 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
