Welcome
Hello, Kat724, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Obsessive–compulsive disorder‎ do not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and will be reverted unless you can provide reliable sourcing. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

 * Hello, I received a message from you claiming something I typed in an article was "unverifiable", but this is not true. What I typed is of the truth because I copied and pasted the text from another article (ADD co-morbidities) which has the the same text stating so. Thanks for answering!

 * Only one problem there – another page on Wikipedia is not a valid source. "Verifiable" means that I must be provided with a reliable third-party source from which I can obtain the same information on my own. Now, if that claim on the other page (which I can't find based on what you gave me; an exact link would be appreciated) was properly sourced, then you can use the same source; otherwise, you'll need to provide a reliable source or your revision will be reverted. We can't have "original research" here. (And do click on those links and read the policies; it's quite necessary that you become familiar with them.)
