Feedback[edit]

Hi. Nice start on your draft, but keep in mind that biomedical topics on Wikipedia have special sourcing requirements. You need to make sure that you're working off recent review articles. You shouldn't be using articles that present the findings of particular research studies, since these need to be interpreted in the context of the entire boy of work. And you shouldn't be relying on older studies, since they're likely to be out of date. Whenever possible, look for work that's from 2013 or later.

Be sure everything you say is sourced. You should seldom -- hardly ever -- end a paragraph without a footnote RJBazell (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To repeat you need more sourcing. With every sentence--especially those at the end of parapgrpahs you need to ask "Can there be a reference for that?" RJBazell (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
