Citation rule

This wiki's editorial rule is to cite every non-trivial factual claim with a standard MediaWiki <ref> tag, especially verbatim quotes.

When a claim cannot yet be sourced, flag it inline with the ^{[citation needed]} template (or its shorthand ^{[citation needed]}):

The half-life is approximately 165 hours.{{Citation needed}}

This renders an inline [citation needed] superscript that links back to this page.

Source-quality preferences

In rough preference order, best to acceptable:

Primary peer-reviewed publication (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, etc.) with DOI
US FDA prescribing information / FDA approval document
Meta-analysis or systematic review
Major guideline (ADA Standards of Care, ASA perioperative, etc.)
Authoritative tertiary source (UpToDate, AHFS DI, etc.)

Wikipedia is not an acceptable cite — always trace through to the primary source Wikipedia cites and use that instead.

Use of named refs

For sources cited more than once on a page, use named refs:

First mention<ref name="select">Lincoff AM et al. (2023). Semaglutide and
cardiovascular outcomes in obesity without diabetes (SELECT). NEJM
389:2221-32.</ref> ... later mention<ref name="select"/>.
