Articles by quality and importance

• Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and has a distinct style that may take some time getting used to.
• It is important that articles use the best sources and content is given due weight. Different from scientific papers, Wikipedia medical and health content is preferably sourced to secondary sources over primary sources. Citing a review article is preferred over an original trial.
• To get you started and to explain why this is important here are a number of guides and guidelines:

WP:MEDRS		WP:MEDMOS
Reliable Sources (medicine)		Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)
WP:MEDCOI		WP:MEDHOW
Conflicts of Interest		How to edit

Our guides complement Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and take great care to explain why they are relevant.
