Welcome!
Hello, Elmira.Z, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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 [https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students 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.

__NOTOC__
Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:
- Use high-quality 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.
- Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
- We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
- Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities.
- Do not use URLs from your university library's internal net: the rest of the world cannot see them.
- Include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article.
- Format references consistently within an article and be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books; see WP:MEDHOW.
- Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
- The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS.
- Think carefully before working on featured articles (these have a gold star at top right). It is often hard to improve featured articles.
- Talk to us! Wikipedia works by collaboration at articles and user talkpages.
Once again, welcome, and thank you for joining us. Please share these guidelines with other new editors.
