Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine WikiProject!

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! Spyder212 (talk) 19:04, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 81.39.98.104, made test edits on the page Bicuspid aortic valve which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. If 81.39.98.104 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Tips on starting your first article
• Help pages • Tips
• Tutorial

Here are some other hints and tips:

• I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Spyder212 (talk) 19:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing for medical articles

Hi. Please see WP:MEDRS for Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines. UpToDate is not a great source in general as it is not possible to reference specific versions of their articles, archives do not exist, and it can be difficult to access (for those who do not have a subscription or institutional access, for example). --Spyder212 (talk) 00:27, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't catch you, the note I added to the 'Bicuspid Aortic Valve' article https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29559860/ is a quotation from a PubMed referenced article, a 'Letter to editor', there's something deeply wrong in your remark. I add again here the PMID number, 29559860, but the comment and reference are right now in the Wikipedia BAV article, so, my answer is futile, and if accepted from the very beginning, as it should have, would have saved time to me. Sometimes I guess Wikipedia referees just want going over, subdue those who edit or add information to articles, this is against stated procedures and aims of Wikipedia, and absolutely unacceptable. Right now, I don't know how to include the PMID link, if you add it, would be a shorter working time than continuing answering my notes, and better for all. Thanks. Blessings +

Hi. As stated above, please read WP:MEDRS. Those are Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines for medical articles. The PubMed article you cite above is an editorial, which should not be included in medical articles as per our guidelines. The only element that is unacceptable here is the quality of the sources that you are inserting into Wikipedia articles. Please read the guidelines and abide by them, and we won't have to remove the content you add due to poor source quality. Thanks. Spyder212 (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry: what I've added, PMID 29559860 is not an 'editorial', but a 'letter to editor' it does not include 'opinions', but facts. May I know if you have any medical credentials above mine? Regarding the power granted to you in Wikipedia, it seems you don't differ to other censors in the too fast decisions and the misbehaving against those who add information. Did you ever consider to resign? Blessings +

I'll keep repeating the same thing... Just read Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines for medical articles. As for credentials, I'm a physician in Canada. But that doesn't really matter on Wikipedia. Everyone's welcome to contribute as long as it's constructive and respects the guidelines set out to ensure the articles are based on good quality sources. The only time when I consider "resigning" from WP is when I come across short-tempered individuals, but then I remember I can simply take a break and return to IRL.

April 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Marrano, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ----Rdp060707|talk 08:28, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, you are wrong, the info added to the term 'marrano' is referenced in a book, cited: 'Los sefardíes', by José Meir Estrugo, published by 'editorial Renacimiento', currently out of print, it's reckless saying something is 'original research' when is backed in a book written by a guy who died long ago, you may not read Spanish, but the facts are true, also the booklet, by the extinct newspaper 'El Sol', 'La inquisición', Ricardo García Cárcel says same.

'Reading' is not a 'research', please revert your deletion; as you know, the 'Congress Library' used buying and storing, for congress members help, a copy of every book printed all over the world, you can look there, or conduct a web search. The summary, prepared by J Marchena, of the 'Directorium inquisitorum' by Nicolau Eimeric says same. Links to download exist in the web (scribd), even if the version available from Google books has some important pages missing.

As many times, censors in Wikipedia find easier deleting than checking, and forget the basic law principle of 'reversion of evidence burden', if I say 'this is green', it's up to those who think different providing evidence that 'it is red', this principle comes from the even more basical principle of 'presumption of innocence', it is not the accused who must prove being innocent, but prosecutors and court who must find evidence of guilt. For sure, you don't know everything about everything, the Almighty Father is the Only One in this, not even Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, knows all. OK? Blessings +

Hi IP user, I'm Hockeycatcat. If you wish, you can cite your source by doing so within the editing area. Thanks, Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I already cited source. Thanks. Blessings +
