It looks like you're also interested in health-related articles. A bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine, and you're welcome to join us. We just started a casual contest around adding sources to articles, and you can also sign up on the Outreach dashboard if you'd like to. It's retroactive to the start of the contest, so starting a little late won't hurt your standing at all.  :-D

Your your username, I suspect that you might also be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:09, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Russia and China are not targeting spies and ICBMs based on Wikipedia. This info is freely-available public knowledge. Adakiko (talk) 19:36, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Stiff-person syndrome you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 23:09, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, I'm still pretty new at this. Is there an example of attribution I can follow? Medlibrarianhnl (talk) 17:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My current preferred method is to use the template ((Creative Commons text attribution notice)). The format I use is included as part of the relevant citation, like I did in this edit. There's other variations shown in the template documentation. — Diannaa (talk) 20:11, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Medlibrarianhnl, a belated welcome to Wikipedia! I just responded to your message at Talk:Stiff-person syndrome, but I wanted to drop by your talk page with a cheery note. Wikipedia is an intimidatingly large place, so if you have questions or bump into problems as you get started here, please do let me know and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction. You're also most welcome to chime in at WT:MED, which serves as the noticeboard for medicine-interested editors. Again, welcome, we're glad to have you here. I hope all is well.

WP:MED News

• Wikipedia:Good article reassessment is back in business, with a new process and new coordinators. If you see medicine-related GAs that may no longer meet the GA criteria, feel free to nominate them for attention/reassessment (please, not too many at once, lest we get overwhelmed). I'll incorporate them into the listings above.
• Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, and Dengue fever are featured articles that need updating. Feel free to chime in at the talk pages or WT:MED if you have the time/bandwidth to help update. They'll likely go to featured article review for more feedback in the near(ish) future (probably in the order listed).
