Talk:Delayed puberty

message: Hello! I am a 4th year medical student pursuing a career in pediatrics who is enrolled in a WikiMedicine Project course designed to enhance the quality of information on Wikipedia. Over the next four weeks, I will be editing this page to provide improved information on the cause, diagnosis, management, and epidemiology of delayed puberty. 
This article has been rated a C on the project's quality scale and is rated as high importance on the project's importance scale. I aim to improve this page by expanding the level of detail using quality resources from medical databases. 
Here are my goals:
1. To check all sources for potentially broken links or poor evidence
2. To edit the cause section to provide more information that is not in a list format, as well as include mechanisms/risk factors/triggers/genetics/pathophysiology for each cause, providing a more succinct, but complete place for viewers to find information
3. To generalize the normal timing section to more populations and include more epidemiological data
4. To expand the diagnosis sections to provide more details
5. To expand the treatment section and include more up-to date treatment options.
6. To include an outlook section
6. To include a society and culture section which includes awareness, cultural history, social perceptions, and notable cases of delayed puberty. 
If anyone has suggestions for improvement or opinions on my plan please let me know. Thank you for your help! Poodle0011 (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiMed Project Medical Student Edits 

message: Hi all! I am new to wikipedia so I wanted to get your advice regarding this section "Timing and definitions." The part up to the paragraph below the chart does not have citations and refer to the puberty article for sources. I went to the puberty section, but could not find any of that information or the sources the previous author was referring to. Any advice on how to deal with this information? I would like to remove it since it is not supported by citations. I am trying to find similar information though because the world differences are relevant to this talk. Let me know! --Poodle0011 (talk) 23:15, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Poodle0011, per WP:Preserve, try to preserve the material. Look for sources on the matter. If you don't find any, feel free to remove the material. If you reply to me on this, there is no need to ping me to this talk page since this page is on my watchlist. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:04, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have replaced the material with more thorough and cited sources. However, they are older sources which are most likely not as relevant. I tried to find a good worldwide compilation, but was unsuccessful. This is the best I could do. Please feel free to remove it and replace with the previous material if it is inadequate. Thanks, Poodle0011 (talk) 02:57, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding this and this, like I stated, having a chart that focuses only on girls and dates as far back as this chart did is not an improvement. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timing and Definitions 

message: Poodle0011, I just want to say thank you for improving this article. I see that you have used some WP:MEDRS-compliant sources, which was a pleasant surprise with regard to student editing. Try to sick with WP:MEDRS-compliant sources. For example, try to avoid WP:Primary sources. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Poodle0011, I'm glad to hear that the training was what WP:Med editors look for in student editing. As for PubMed, yes, that is a good resource, but it includes primary sources in addition to reviews. WP:MEDRS recommends generally avoiding primary sources; so that's why I pointed that out. As for the "Timing and definitions" section, it's best that it come first. I just wanted to point to MOS:MED#Content sections to give you an idea of how we format medical articles. It seems you were maybe already aware of how we format medical articles? One thing to keep in mind with regard to MOS:HEAD is lowercase; that's why I keep changing your capitalized pieces to lower case. On a side note: Since this page is on my watchlist, you don't need to WP:Ping me to it. I'll see your replies and other comments and respond if needed.
