Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hi AddictionPsychologistFrank,

Welcome to wikipedia! I'm always happy to see people who are educated in psychology/certified psychologists becoming editors. I saw your additions to the Psychologist talk page. I'm a rather new editor myself only having been here for about 8 months.

When I started out I was always being very careful to make sure that everyone agreed with any changes, before I made them. My advice to you is "Just do it!" This approach is actually backed up by wikipedia policy WP:BOLD Pages improve by people taking the initiative and editing boldly. As long as you have a reference to back up what you're saying, nobody can really dispute your information. Some pages have alot of incorrect information, this info maybe out of date, or may have been written by someone who was misinformed in the first place. If you have a reference that says otherwise, go ahead and change it.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing some of your future edits.

I remember that when I first started out there was a fair bit to learn, so if there is anything you're not sure on that I can help you with just post on my (talk) page below.

Kind Regards

Ref tags and boxes
Hi,

Ofcourse my offer still stands, happy to help. I went back and had a look at the previous version of the page you are talking about. You were on the right track with your referencing, but not quite right. For most citations, click cite in the edit window and from the drop-down template box pick the appropriate type of reference and fill in the details. The named reference system you were using is for when you plan on using a single reference on multiple occasions. In the first instance cite using the drop-down template box and also put in a reference name. Then, for all subequent occasions when you use that reference, you can just use the reference name, rather than writing out the whole reference again. If you cite like this wikipedia is set up to write out and format the reference list automatically by inserting under the references heading (which is already there). Once the references are appearing correctly you can delete the list that's currently there.

With regards to the boxes at the top of the page these are added by any editors and flag issues for other editors and general readers of the page. You generally shouldn't remove these unless you are sure you've dealt with the problem adequately. They are found at the very top of the page (above the article text) when you click edit.

I also noticed that there is currently a dicussion on whether to merge the page with behavioral addiction, so just be aware that some of the content you are adding maybe lost if a merge goes ahead. You can contribute to the discussion of this issue and state whether you agree or diagree with a merge and your reasons why. Generally, they will go with the majority.

Tell me whether this helps you out. There is often quite alot to learn when you are starting out, but once you've got the basics down you'll start to pick up other things quickly.

Adoption
Hi! I see you are requesting adoption and so would like to offer to adopt you. Myself and my replacement/assistant, RexRowan have an adoption school, which can teach you all the basics of Wikipedia. We believe the adoption course is a great beginning to your Wikipedia life and User talk:RexRowan, who has completed the course himself, will happily tell you how useful the course was.

The adoption school contains a series of 10 lessons, each focusing on a different aspect and with a short test at the end of each. The lessons are then followed by a final exam. You can find those at User:Adam mugliston/Adopt to see if they would be of interest to you.

We also offer an Express course, which means you can choose just one, a few or most of the lessons if you would prefer not to do the full course.

Should you be interested in getting adopted, please read this Code of Honour, then return here and press the button below, filling in USERNAME with your username with out the User: prefix. This questionnaire gives me an insight into you and allows me to adjust the course should I need to, so please fill it in. In it, you will also be able to say whether you prefer the full or Express course.

Also, please drop a line to say you are interested either below this message or on my talk page at User talk:Adam mugliston.

Thanks,

HI! I have made some changes to the overall content of the page. I have taken the advise of someone many months ago (the article is too long & it reads more like a dissertation rather than an encyclopedia article). As a result I have deleted some very specific detail that not only defined but in some cases explained the term. AddictionPsychologistFrank (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

If I am correct now the references for my above comment should now be moved to the 'Further Reading' section. Is this correct?AddictionPsychologistFrank (talk) 16:59, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
