Conflict of interest
As the sole creator of Draft:Biodynamic Massage, which uses yourself as one of the sources, you really need to be careful about your conflict of interest. Please don't use Wikipedia for self promotion. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:26, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=629860260 your edit] to Biodynamic massage may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20–%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Editing suggestion
Hi Kate, I've noticed your edits on several pages, regarding biodynamic massage. I wanted to suggest that you make use of the button "show preview" (instead of "save page") - better yet, you can change your account preferences so that it automatically shows you a preview when you hit "save page." This will allow you to catch dysfunctional links, etc before posting them, so that your edits will show up more cleanly for other editors. My settings are adjusted to receive an email when pages on my watchlist are edited, so when the email comes in showing an error, and I hop online to fix it, it's tedious to have to page through a half dozen separate edits.

Also be aware that just about any page in alt-med is somewhat controversial, so take care to read through relevant pages that describe WP culture and rules, as well as scanning the talk page of each article before you edit, as you can often avoid stepping on landmines that way.

I see that Brangifer has already warned you about conflict of interest - see WP:COI for more info. While you need to take care in editing pages relevant to your profession etc, please do dive deeply into WP and contribute to other articles. New editors are welcome and needed - chances are good that you can make an impact on a wide range of subjects. --Karinpower (talk) 00:10, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Wiki is a new platform for me and I am learning the format and systems by trial and error; apologies for your overflowing inbox! Enjoy your weekend.

Kate


 * Hi Kate, no worries. We all help new editors; people helped me when I was new and making plenty of mistakes. On a reply, you can use colons to indent. So if you wanted to reply to this, just use 3 colons before what you type. Reading talk pages and seeing how editors structure things, what objections are given for why edits are or aren't valid, etc is often the best way to learn. Also, sign your comments on talk pages (for articles and user talk pages - but never for article edits). There is a button at the top with a cursive "f" and a pen, just click that to insert your signature and time/date stamp at the end. --Karinpower (talk) 22:40, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
