I don't know if you are a WP:Student editor or not, but keep WP:MEDRS in mind when adding medical/health material to articles. WP:Primary sources are not preferred for medical/health content. Read WP:MEDRS for what I mean. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:15, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject! edit
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! Carl Fredrik talk 04:14, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
A cup of coffee for you! edit

Thanks for editing wiki. If you ever edit anything health related, you can always post to the talk page of WP:MED to request feedback. As a new editor I recommend that you do this often to get fast and continual feedback about anything - sources cited, content placement, anything related to wiki. Thanks.

I think it was a good and constructive edit because that article lacks discussion of the use of guns in crimes, or more generally their role in modern society. The reason given in the revert is not very strong or detailed - clearly the information you posted is relevant to the topic "gun" - but still, some editors may feel it's not appropriate for this particular article. The best course of action if you want to pursue it is start a discussion on the talk page. Thanks! Waleswatcher (talk) 15:14, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
The article Ortner Center on Violence & Abuse in Relationships has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-notable sub-entity of the University of Pennsyvlania. Fails WP:NORG as I couldn't find many sources that actually cover the centre in depth. While experts from the centre have been quoted many times in news articles, that doesn't pass NORG. Additionally see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES which explains that generally subentities of universities aren't kept unless they have made significant contributions to their field, which doesn't appear to be supported by the sources here.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
