Welcome!

Hello, Atsang99, 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 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.

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia! We have compiled some guidance for new healthcare editors:

1. Please keep the mission of Wikipedia in mind. We provide the public with accepted knowledge, working in a community.
2. We do that by finding high quality secondary sources and summarizing what they say, giving WP:WEIGHT as they do. Please do not try to build content by synthesizing content based on primary sources.
3. Please use high-quality, recent, secondary sources for medical content (see WP:MEDRS; for the difference between primary and secondary sources, see the WP:MEDDEF section.) 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. Please beware of predatory publishers – check the publishers of articles (especially open source articles) at Beall's list.
4. The ordering of sections typically follows the instructions at WP:MEDMOS. The section above the table of contents is called the WP:LEAD. It summarizes the body. Do not add anything to the lead that is not in the body. Style is covered in MEDMOS as well; we avoid the word "patient" for example.
5. We don't use terms like "currently", "recently," "now", or "today". See WP:RELTIME.
6. More generally see WP:MEDHOW, which gives great tips for editing about health -- for example, it provides a way to format citations quickly and easily
7. Citation details are important:
   • Be sure to cite the PMID for journal articles and ISBN for books
   • Please include page numbers when referencing a book or long journal article, and please format citations consistently within an article.
   • Do not use URLs from your university library that have "proxy" in them: the rest of the world cannot see them.
   • Reference tags generally go after punctuation, not before; there is no preceding space.
8. We use very few capital letters (see WP:MOSCAPS) and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
9. Common terms are not usually wikilinked; nor are years, dates, or names of countries and major cities. Avoid overlinking!
10. Never copy and paste from sources; we run detection software on new edits.
11. 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.

Refugee health in the United States

Hello. I notice the new section Healthcare Barriers you added to Refugee health in the United States. The subsection names fall afoul of MOS:NOBACKREF; please remove the word barriers from the subsections (and please include the words "per [[MOS:NOBACKREF]]" in your edit summary).

I made some copy edits to some of your additions, fixing section header capitalization (it should use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization) and removing the spaces between references and punctuation.

In places where back-to-back sentences that are supported by the same source, you only need to use the reference at the end of the block of sentences (as long as they are in the same paragraph). But that's not an absolute requirement. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:25, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review for Refugee Children

Hello! I really liked how you made the article very accessible to everyone regardless of their education level. Additionally, I like how you included sources from various doctors/scholars. Furthermore, the topic you decided to work on is very valuable. There is not much attention to refugee children once they are in school. The portions of the article did a good job at shedding light on the hardships they face. The changes I recommend are three. One as of now the the education section is the largest in the article. I recommend adding more to other parts of the article to balance it out. Or not adding more to his section. Second is there are sentences that come across as "people should do this" and cause the article to loose its neutrality. I would recommend going back to the article and changing the sentences. Finally, the third recommendation is more up in the air. Adding more perspectives. What are some push back that government might have to assisting refugee children. This might contribute to the neutrality of the article. Overall, I think fixing the neutrality of the article is the most important. Great work! EliGamez (talk) 08:12, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
