Class project[edit]
You appear to be involved in a related complex of articles that may have been created as a class project. While Wikipedia does not discourage such activities per se, we do ask that contributors abide by our editing policies. Wikipedia is not a free webhosting service for class assignments, and I am concerned that some of these new articles are unduly influenced by class requirements, rather than the specific guidelines for Wikipedia articles, particularly as they deal in health-related issues. Many of the editors involved seem only to interact with other classmates, rather than the broader Wikipedia community. Could you ask your instructor to contact me on my talk page so that we can discuss how to make the experience better for the class while working within the community guidelines?
