User:JenOttawa/Assignment 3 Template for Talk Page

Here is a template and a brief guide for posting on your article's talk page. Examples are given for communicating different types of proposed changes. For suggesting paragraphs or sections of text that have a lot of citations or formatting, it is suggested that you put up a link to your sandbox in the talk page. Talk pages do not use the visual editor, you will be editing using the "wiki code". If you have any questions or would like me to review your sandbox before you post it on the talk page please leave a message on my talk page.

Notes for talk page etiquette:

• All Wikipedia users are expected to be polite, welcoming to new editors, and assume good faith. If at any time you do not feel comfortable please do not hesitate to contact your instructors.
• When communicating on the talk pages, always reply under the previous comment.
• When replying to a comment, indent your reply using a colon at the start of your message. The next person to reply would indent further using two colon, then three colons, etc.
• All new topic go at the bottom of the page
• Be sure to be logged in while posting and sign your post (with 4~~~~)

"Hello, we are a group of medical students editing this page as part of our class assignment. We have compiled a list of suggestions to improve this article and would appreciate community feedback before we proceed with these edits. Here is a list of our suggestions:

1. We propose to insert the following content into the Peanut Allergy#Diagnosis section: (quote sentence you plan to add, please remember to paraphrase, no direct quotes permitted). (note: use the PMID tool to insert your reference. Each student must practice this in their sandbox first). Instructions for inserting references using the PMID citation tool are found here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/How to edit#Steps for editing
2. After consulting with MEDMOS we propose to make the following changes to the structure of the article (order of evidence, heading name changes, remove a section, etc)
3. We propose to create a section called Signs and Symptoms. Our proposed paragraph is as follows: xxx
4. We noticed that reference # 35 is a primary source. We could not find any WP:MEDRS sources that can be used as a replacement, so we propose to remove reference 35 and the two sentences that use it as a citation

Please refrain from sharing assignment questions and content that are not directly related to the text and citations you wish to add to the article. Delete all previous work/practice edits from your sandbox to make it easier for people to find your work if you choose to ask for advice there.

You can close your talk page post with a polite note of "thanks" and let the community know that you are appreciate their time and welcome any feedback or suggestions that they may have.
