Puerperal insanity
[edit]Your recent article is too short to really remain as an encyclopedia article. And what limited research I've been able to conduct indicates that the terminology is mostly relegated to the nineteenth century; it does not appear to be a diagnosis one would find today. Can you provide any more information other than one brief sentence? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
The article Puerperal insanity has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Dictionary definition, and this term does not seem to be in current usage any longer, being most prevalent during the nineteenth century.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Citations
[edit]Hi Lydia. I have had to undo your edits at Hypomania and mania because they were not cited correctly. When you add content to health-related articles it's important to provide citations that others can follow for verification. The best way to do this is with a number like this[14] linking to the details at the bottom of the article.
- To create a book citation, find the book in Google Books, enter its URL into here, and paste the result directly into your text.
- To create an article citation, enter its doi into your text between
<ref>{{Cite doi|
and}}</ref>
, or its PMID between<ref>{{Cite pmid|
and}}</ref>
, and the citation will be created a few minutes after you save your edit. Search the source article to find its doi. To get an article's PMID, search for its title here, and the PMID will appear below the article's abstract. - Please include the page number of the work you are citing.
If you have any questions, just ask on my talk page, I would be happy to help. Anthony (talk) 17:03, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
