Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 13:57, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the appropriate use guidelines. HigherPath (talk) 14:18, 13 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you have a Conflict of Interest with David Burns or the Feeling Good website. If you do you should not be editing the article directly and you will need to declare your COI on your User Page. Re-adding the same information without showing why it is important and including the Spam link and Promotional information included in your edits is not appropriate. -- VViking Talk Edits 14:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I am not affiliated with David Burns or the feeling good website. I was just trying to add some relevant info, and I thought I removed the external links, other than the sources. This is not intended as advertising. TEAM is very different from all the other types listed because it includes two elements - empathy and agenda setting. This is not some gimmick but rather a new approach that is being researched by Stanford University. I see many other authors and speakers on this document and thought I'd include another one. Dr. Burns studied directly under Dr. Aaron Beck and worked with him for decades. Anyway, since I obviously don't understand the protocols I'll just leave this to someone else.
