Welcome!
Hello, Innes.samantha, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:41, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Reverse breathing
Hi! I removed the content you added to the article for the time being, as it needs some more work. Here are my notes:


 * Be very careful when it comes to sourcing. Livestrong isn't the strongest possible source when it comes to sourcing, as they do accept user content and the verification process is a little vague when it comes to what they do or don't verify. It's usable for some very basic content but really wouldn't recommend using it since it's an incredibly weak source. Breathing.com is dubious since the site's main goal is to sell site visitors various products and services. It also looks to be entirely self-published. Tai Chi Basics is also questionable since there's nothing I can see that talks about their editorial oversight, so it's at best a self-published source. To use a self-published source you'd have to be able to show where the individual or site is routinely cited as a reliable source by authoritative, reliable sources.
 * Academic and scholarly sources are generally best for this sort of thing, as those are typically the strongest possible sources. Be extremely careful when it comes to Google searches, as not all results are usable or reliable. Popular press sources like this are OK, although not as desirable.


 * When writing, make sure to match your style to that of Wikipedia. The writing isn't bad here, but you need to avoid writing directly to the reader with wording like 'you' and such.

I do like that you are trying to fix up this page - it's definitely in need of some TLC. Once you've fixed the writing and sourcing, definitely feel free to re-add your contributions! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
