Hi Khrisfaiss! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at
the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like Rosiestep (
talk).
Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
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)
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.
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.
I do not see that you completed peer review on the page for Tenosynovitis. If you emailed it, please post on the talk page there so everyone, including his advisor, can see.
