Are you with a class? A lot of editors, about 15, have been adding content to Global health over the past few days and many of them are not improving the page. There are guidelines for adding content to Wikipedia and I think this effort would be much more constructive if we could arrange for a tutorial on good practices. Most of the content added will probably be deleted otherwise. If you have questions about editing Wikipedia and want a live person to answer them, even very simple and basic questions such as "Can you check what I have done and give me feedback?", then please go to the WP:TEAHOUSE. Thanks for your attention. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting[edit]

It is probably best for your class to spend some time in the "sandbox" learning how to format. If you just cut and paste in plain text it will not work. The next thing is the use of proper sources. We highly prefer secondary sources per WP:MEDRS. There is further advice on editing here WP:MEDHOW.
