Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BenLinus1214 was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Steelyskoal/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Please help me with a question about user boxes...I would like to use some on my user page, and have found this gallery of existing boxes page. Is it ok to just use these, or should I ask the user who created them for their permission? It isn't clear to me if they were created for general use. Thank you!!
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
Welcome to Wikipedia. We have compiled a list of guidance for new editors:
Use high quality sources for medical content. This is described at WP:MEDRS. High quality sources include review articles (note this is not the same as peer reviewed), position statements from national and internationally recognized bodies (think CDC, WHO, NICE, FDA, etc), and major medical textbooks. Lower quality sources may be removed.
References go after not before punctuation (see WP:MOS)
We use very few capital letters and very little bolding. Only the first word of a heading is usually capitalized.
Do not use the url from the inside net of your university library. The rest of the world cannot see it.
If you use textbooks we need page numbers.
Please format your references as explained at WP:MEDHOW or like the ones already in the article. This is simple once you get the PMID / ISBN.
Every sentence can be referenced. We reference more densely than other sources.
This ref says "and 30 to 50% of women with endometriosis are infertile".[1] and they reference this 2004 Lancet review [2] Uptodate is not a better source for a number of reasons, one being that their is no static copy of it to reference.
