Hi Urchincrawler, I'm Sundayclose. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently made additions to one or more articles such as Obsessive–compulsive disorder without citing a reliable source. Please note that all content and edits on Wikipedia are expected to be verifiable in reliable sources. In articles related to medical topics, the standard for content and sourcing is defined at WP:MEDRS, and in your edit you did not include any references that meet that ideal. Please have a look at MEDRS to learn about the quality standards for medical sourcing. You might also want to take a look at WikiProject Medicine. If you have any questions related to sourcing of medical issues, you can ask at the WikiProject Medicine Talk page. For general questions about sourcing, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Hi there! My sources included OCD UK, a national UK charity for those with OCD, and the International OCD Foundation. The page WP:MEDRS includes "position statements from national or international expert bodies" as reliable sources. Both of these bodies are expert bodies, so what is the issue? I will edit my work to substiate my info with info from other expert bodies like the CDC and NHS, but I think what I had before should have been fine.

Thanks, Urchin Crawler

A charity isn't necessarily (and usually isn't) an "expert body". The expertise should pertain to the field of medicine. The Muscular Dystrophy Association as a group does not have expertise in the medical aspects of muscular dystrophy. Please don't use such sources. They will be removed, per WP:MEDRS. An example of an expert body for muscular dystrophy would be American Academy of Neurology. Similarly, https://www.ocduk.org/ is not an expert body. The American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association would be examples of expert bodies for OCD. Thanks. Sundayclose ( talk) 02:48, 6 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Alright! Thanks for clarifying. I added the NHS, CDC, and American Psychiatric Association to back up my facts :)
