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"/>.
