Your change to the Medicine article
Hello, I'm Mathglot. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Medicine, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
One thing you might want to have a look at, are Wikipedia's policies on WP:Verifiability, and the recommended use of citations to reliable sources. The how-to page at Help:Footnotes is very useful, as well. Thanks, and once again: welcome! Mathglot (talk) 05:30, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Copy of discussion originally at User talk:Mathglot#The Medicine page change..
Hello,
The content changed is a misuse of diction, not content. The word "evolved" is not sourced either, nor does it mean what the article's paragraph desires it to mean. Therefore, this is a matter of word choice and grammar, not references. Vanos777 (talk) 15:12, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hello again, Vanos777,
- I've moved the discussion here, so you'll see my response, and be able to refer to it later if you wish to; it will eventually get archived on my Talk page and will become hard to locate.
- Regarding your recent comment on my Talk page (boxed material): I beg to differ with your characterization of your edit; a change from "evolved" to "scientifically proven" is not at all about word choice or grammar and changes the whole nature of the sentence, from one talking about the sweep of history, to one asserting a fact about the present nature of the art. And in fact, the word "evolved" is indeed sourced, by numerous references in the body of the article, which you can find starting in the #History section of the article, which is all about the evolution of medicine. The lead merely summarizes this information, and per WP:LEAD, as long as it is sourced in the body, the references do not need to be repeated in the lead summary.
- I hope you will continue editing, and I just wanted to add a couple of tips for you as a new editor: the article about Medicine, or any article related to medicine, is a tough corner of the encyclopedia to learn the ropes, because as stringent as Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are concerning WP:Verifiability in general for all articles, they are all the more stringent for articles related to medicine. See WP:RS and WP:MEDRS. It's hard for a new editor to start with medical articles, as all but the strictest attention to sources will be met with reverts, which can be discouraging. If you still want to forge ahead anyway, that's fine, just be prepared.
- The other tip, is about the difference between the WP:LEAD of an article, and the body. The lead is a summary, a "mini-version" of the article, if you will, and not a journalism-style introduction; so it often doesn't make sense to just change something in the lead. Normally the sequence is, change something in the body, then bring the lead into line. Still, there are times when it makes sense to change the lead, for example, when it did not properly summarize the body, or if it contains unique info not already in the body. Once again, it's harder for a new editor to get on board, by paying attention solely to the lead. I would recommend trying your changes to the body of whatever article interests you, and see how that is accepted, or not, by other editors first. Once you get a high rate of accepted edits, then you can start making concomitant changes to the lead. That would be my advice, but it's your choice. Hope this helps!
