Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:TERTIARY. The gist of these guidelines is:

• Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style. My guess, Org Lett, just one of many specialized organic journals, publishes 500-1000 article per year. It is impossible for Wikipedia to cite them equitably, so we refrain, but strive to take the extra step of identifying reviews. If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:00, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Panaeolus tropicalis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hallucinogenic mushroom (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hey, I just wanted to say that a bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us if that's an area of editing that interests you. It's a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time.

I note you eliminated the folllowing: "PFOs and PFAs." I did not think they were redundant. Was that the right choice? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, your recent edit to Rhizopus oryzae seems to cause a red error message to appear at the end of the References section. --CiaPan (talk) 15:11, 28 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Belbury. I noticed that you recently removed content from Liver King without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Unclear why you removed specific mentions of steroids from this article: the sources cited seem clear about this. Belbury (talk) 09:58, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I noticed you added "somewhat" to the designation of verdigris as "poisonous". The poisonous status of the substance has fairly baffled myself and other users (though it's easy to find sources that use the label without much in-depth explanation of how exactly it's dangerous -- to the touch? by swallowing? Is there a distinction between being poisonous and toxic? etc.). Do you know of the specifics by any chance? Wolfdog (talk) 16:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Woob 1194, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ambient.

Hello, and thanks for your contributions. Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

• Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
  • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
• Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 02:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
