If your problem is simply with using a source which is promotional (as is my impression, please correct me if I'm wrong), I removed from the Alexander Technique article references to a source which heavily promotes it, and the content was promptly restored by someone who said "I'm not seeing anything unduly promotional". Was this person wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BremenTownMusician (talk • contribs) 08:02, 29 November 2010

Having now studied the policies a bit, I see that there is no blanket ban on using sources which are promotional, only restrictions on how they can be used. With that in mind, I will soon restore what I added to the Bates method article unless you explain what specifically is wrong with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BremenTownMusician (talk • contribs) 23:01, 29 November 2010
 * I've started a discussion on the article talk page.
 * Alexander Technique is a real mess. Bates Method used to be as bad, but was extensively reworked to meet our good article criteria. The reworking of the article included the removal of poor sources, including visionsofjoy. If you'll look into the article talk page archives, you'll find detailed discussions as to why. --Ronz (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
