Thanks for helping me, this is all new to me. I requested a change in user name; it is pending. I know it is frustrating to deal with someone just learning the system when you're very experienced. I appreciate high standards, that is why it's important to me to insert this correct information. Thomas Dunn did not publish the first proposed criteria for orthorexia in 2015 and obviously it is important to you to have correct information, so if you could let me know what would be an appropriate citation - are you saying that if I change my username then it is appropriate for me to add this info? Or are you saying that I need to find outside experts who will vouch for the information? Because I have the 2013 published book right here with ISBN and everything, so I'm not sure what is more legit as a citation than the actual publication. Can you explain why there is such a thing as too much information when people are going to wikipedia to learn? Or can you refer me to an info page, because I'm sure you have explained these same things a million times before and have it written somewhere. Thanks again for your help.
