Nice work on Berthold P. Wiesner!

I was checking to see what I had recently edited, to see if my edits remained, and I noticed this whopper from you: [1]. To add so much in one edit is just amazing to me. I always just add little bits at a time. So many references and it looks really professional too. Is that from another language Wikipedia or somewhere else? Anyway, well done either way. I am impressed! Now it just needs to be neatened up a bit with sub-headings and we are good to go! Mister Sneeze A Lot (talk) 13:26, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Add online references

You are doing a great job, my only suggestion is to add online references to your articles. It is very easy for us to patrol pages and check notabililty of the subject. For any citation template help, you can refer to here. Kavdiamanju (talk) 04:38, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Copy/Paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Audio therapy (technique) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Audio therapy (medicine). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

September 2015

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Bongan^® →TalkToMe← 15:22, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

References in Audio therapy (medicine)

Hello. I noticed the discussion with @Bongan:, on this topic, so I had a look at the references. I have removed the refimprove tag from this article, because Wikipedia does not require that references are available online (see here). That is nice when possible, but references to journals, etc are just as legitimate if they are offline; it just depends on the reliability of the source.

However, I should point out that some of the references are not really reliable, such as:

Morris, C., The use of self-service technologies in stress management: A pilot project. Master of Social Work Clinical Research Papers. Saint Catherine University, St. Paul, MN, 2012.

This does not appear to be a reviewed publication, but just some research papers. But individual issues like this should be dealt with individually, not by tagging the entire article.

Finally, it would help if the citations contained more detail, to allow people to track down the sources. Often it is not clear which ones are books, which are journals, which are other sources. For example, a book citation should include the publisher and the ISBN. Perhaps using the citation templates such as {{cite book}} or {{cite journal}} would help - they also save you time & effort, especially if you use the drop-down template on the Wikipedia editor.--Gronk Oz (talk) 23:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paul Newham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Relaxation. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

December 2015

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Binaural beats may have broken the syntax by modifying 3 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

To Jeraphine Gryphon

Hello. Thank you for your help regarding headings and non-exitent categories. The latter was simply a mistake. I thought I had discovered neurologic music therapy to be a category. I have removed it. Regarding the removal of previous categories, this was intentional, as I did not see the direct relevance. But I have added some more. I will also adjust the headings as per the policy you pointed out.
