Stevenfruitsmaak [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles&oldid=66336730 created] Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles in July 2006. In November 2006, I started editing MEDMOS and realised some of the advice concerned sourcing rather than style. So I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles&diff=86821812&oldid=86821041&diffmode=source removed] that text and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)&oldid=86820442 created] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(medicine)&diff=prev&oldid=86964405&diffmode=source expanded] it to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). Stevenfruitsmaak created the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:MEDRS&oldid=88858791 MEDRS] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:MEDMOS&oldid=72634764 MEDMOS] shortcuts. I worked alongside many editors on both guidelines, expanding, polishing and pushing them towards community acceptance.
