Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for students and new editors:

Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
Never "copy and paste" from sources. We run copy and paste detection software on new edits.
Section order typically follows the instructions here at WP:MEDMOS
Please talk to us. Wikipedia works by collaboration and this takes place on the talk pages of both articles and user.

Again welcome and thank you for joining us.

P.S. Please share this with your fellow learners and instructors.

Formatting

You cannot format like this

"Diet has an important effect on blood cholesterol, but the size of this effect varies substantially between individuals.^[15] About 50% of nonesterified cholesterol is absorbed in the intestine,^[16] but interindividual variations in the efficiency of uptake, and the effect of other dietary components such as plant sterols and fiber content affect absorption.^[16] Moreover, when dietary cholesterol intake goes down, production (principally by the liver^[17]) typically increases, though not always with complete compensation, so that reductions in blood cholesterol can be modest. "

Please read WP:MEDHOW for how to format references. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:20, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Refs

What ref supported this? "Dietary modification to improve blood cholesterol levels include reducing dietary cholesterol, reducing saturated fats, increasing plant stanol and sterol esters, increasing fiber, and maintaining a healthy weight."

This content is a source from 1986? That is too old. [1]

About a recent Reddit comment you made

I am confronting you about this reddit post you presumably made. You should share which article has the erroneous quote in it, and not leave obviously wrong information on Wikipedia. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[ᴛ] 00:03, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
