Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 17:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

To whomever (On December 26, 2011, I placed an edited version of the following response in its own New Section. It has yet to present.):

I'm removing the prescription for deletion of this article as I understand the instructions. I do not have time at this moment to wrangle with this form of criticism. But for this discussion, let me state a few important facts, opinions and philosophy pertaining to the criticism and other matters related to this article.

ETM TRT's development began over Thirty years ago and occurred in well monitored and audited by credentialing authorities multiple Texas State Licensed and JCAHO accredited facilities over approximately ten years. That full description with detail is available in the Due Diligence component of the model's dissemination apparatus. It includes both hard and Internet copies. The models were then conveyed in a course curriculum taught at the University of Houston's Chemical Abuse Counselor's Course for four years between 1986 - 1990. That course was the State's primary academic curriculum used for State Licensing of Texas Alcoholism Counselors. Thereafter, the models were taught in private course which was then supported by an Internet tutorial. It was used in a federal grant for eleven million dollars to fund the USF's (University of Southern Florida) proposal to build a similar system. The online ETM Tutorial was stated in that proposal to be the "best" example of distance learning available on the Internet at the time (1997). In addition to that activity, the authors were invited to and did present the ETM TRT theory, modality and epistemology in approximately eighteen academic settings over several years. All of that development and academic presentation and discussion occurred between 1979 and 1990.

In 1990, the Department of Defense commissioned a study group comprised of fifteen top ranking officers of the armed forces chaplaincy group which had the responsibility for addressing psychological trauma in combat veterans. They reported after considerable evaluation of the referenced models that they were not only the best models for addressing psychological trauma, but the "Only Complete" one. During the same period, the early 1990s, numerous school districts in Texas (165 of 1057) trained principals, counselors and medical personnel through two schools, the University of Texas at Permian Basin and The University of Texas at El Paso. The El Paso district was commissioned by the Texas Education Agency to study available system approaches to trauma and its effects on organizations and communities. On September 4, 1994, at a conference attended by six thousand professional educators, the El Paso school district which had trained fifty of their staff, most being LPCs, reported that their implementation based study over two years of ETM TRT not only demonstrated that ETM TRT made good on all its claims, as similarly said the DoD report, but that the ETM model was the "Best" they had found in the nation. They then recommended that ETM be applied to "every school district, counselor and principal in Texas."

Much more has been done but not considered in this article. For example, twenty-five hundred licensed psychotherapists in twenty states (USA) have been trained in ETM TRT and accordingly professionally certified. Thirty-nine hard copy books and numerous articles have been generated from and out of this work. They have been published to and for the benefit and use by professionals who've over thirty plus years have observed the progress of various patients in the community. In other words, complying with our own ethical standards, which are not considered (excepting generally) here, all discussion, written or otherwise, pertaining to this model's dissemination has until this date been directed solely to the professional users (and their patients) of the model and specifically not the public. Wikipedia publication has been considered to be appropriate because the referenced population we believe has a right to inform its culture in a relatively public forum of the models in which they are or have been participating. Moreover and in this view, the public has a right to know that there are alternative perspectives to the models represented in the public media venue as pertains to psychological trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the address of co occurrence of comorbidy (multiple issues) and pathological drug use.

Now, I will add references to whatever is needed as I deem meritable. But I do not promote the ETM TRT program according to anyone else's standards due to the nature of the model, method of application and philosophy. If somebody else wants to write an article or book on ETM TRT, which has occurred already, and I want to note them in this article, I will if I think it adds to the value of the best presentation.

Regarding the criticism to the original article, it appeared to be a hostile response due to ideological competition. Their was a reference to inappropriate application of "jargon" and "nonsense." The article was written exactly as was necessary to explain a difficult to describe subject having considerable differences from the competing Nosotropic methodology which underpins most of academic spawned approaches to psychological trauma and its behavioral manifestation PTSD. I did not know that WIKI was in the business of declaring value judgments about technical issues in the various fields and disciplines. Whatever, in this critical instance the reviewer is uninformed, arrogant and ignorant of the facts.

The professional counselor training program is currently suspended due to technical changes being made to online means for presentation and implementation and it notably has been unavailable to professionals during the entire time the WIKI article has been published. Moreover, there is no intent or interest in promoting the professional training programs through this article. I'm certain, too, that licensed psychotherapists are more than capable of judging for themselves whether or not a piece of literature is inappropriately promoting or otherwise exploiting them (their prospective gullibilities). This school, when it is offered, does not accept non licensed individuals or laymen.By certification contract with the referenced professional administrators, who are all licensed psychotherapists in their own rights, patients may not be solicited into ETM TRT.

Finally, the article was not completed when originally published. That fact, was made obvious by the section headings remaining not yet having been filled in by relative content. But because it explained the importance to this culture and civilization the value of another view (Etiotropic) of psychological trauma than the Nosotropic one being pushed on our practitioners and individual citizens, we decided that publishing it as it was made good sense, particularly for freedom of speech and the use of it to demonstrate a wrong in the making and that needed, in and for the public's interests, immediate correction. Those additions will be made and the article fully completed in good time.

Generally speaking, when the Internet began, there was great debate about the use of links to define various meanings of jargon or other expressions the writer might think the reader wouldn't commonly understand. The opposition said that too many links took away from the continuity in the prose, and was thus discombobulating. Where Wiki tends toward use of the former approach, even criticizing authors for not using it, I disagree. With today's search engines, any unknown term can be Googled instantly. I believe as a writer in telling the story and allowing the reader to investigate as necessary for him or her self and intellectual needs individually. I decided to use that approach in 1994, and haven't stopped through one half gigabyte of written and another half of differing kinds of web published materials, not including videos. Anything else, I believe is condescending to the reader. Thus, I disagree with significant elements of the Wiki various styles, thinking they reduce the quality of understanding for this subject.

Sincerely,
