Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for introducing yourself to WikiProject Medicine. Please ask your friends to do so too!
I had a look at your edits to "Epidural abscess". This is unusually good for the first edits of a new editor. Perhaps I can make a few suggestions?
For in-line references that insert at the end of a statement, the preferred style is to use the punctuation mark (full stop/period or comma) first, then follow with the citation.
When the same reference is used more than once in the same article, the reference can be given its own name which is then used as a shorthand for the later instances. I have already made this adjustment with the references to Sendi's paper. I also added the pmid for Sendi's paper.
We try to follow WP:MEDRS when deciding on references. We prefer secondary sources: mainly review papers or textbooks. Sendi's paper and Darouiche's paper are both review articles and indexed in PubMed. This makes them good choices. However Akalan's paper is a case series. It is a primary source and therefore not a great choice. It is also rather old.
You can use WP:MEDMOS to help guide your article's content. Also, have a look at some of the WikiProject's featured articles to use as models.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of us from the WikiProject on our talk pages, or ask on the WikiProject's talk page. Axl ยค [Talk] 10:30, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
