Biomedical edits
Hi Medicalsaavy, you wrote "This is part of my ongoing project to add information surrounding COVID-19, its pathology, and treatments." Please note that all biomedical edits must conform to our medical sourcing standards, which you can read at WP:MEDRS. Medical edits not complying with this will be reverted. But otherwise, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'll post a welcome template below in case you find the links helpful. SarahSV 07:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

DS alert
Hi again, shortly after I advised you that biomedical information needs sources that comply with our medical-sourcing guideline, WP:MEDRS, you added text to a draft article that violates this. Yahoo News and Fox News are not medical sources. You must use sources such as systematic reviews in medical journals or position statements from national or international bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Health Organization. You have said you're a physician, so you're familiar with these sources.
I'm assuming good faith of your account, but please be careful. I'm posting below information about the discretionary sanctions (DS) that apply to anything related to COVID-19. Any inappropriate editing about the coronavirus is likely to lead to a topic ban from anything related to that issue or even to an indefinite block. My advice to you is to refrain from editing about the coronavirus until you've gained experience editing in less sensitive areas.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
Please carefully read this information:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.
