Editing
Hi Maria. Please edit in smaller bites, so that good bits don't get mixed up with not useful bits.

When you cite a journal, please make sure you include the pubmed ID in citations. If you do, like this PMID 26493318, it allows others to quickly determine if the reference is a primary source or a secondary source. This is explained in the welcome message above.

Also, when you cite a journal, please don't include a link to the article through your university's website. In this dif, this:
 * Cite web|url=http://site.ebrary.com.ipacez.nd.edu.au/lib/notredameaustralia/reader.action?docID=10660315&ppg=7|title=The University of Notre Dame Australia :: EzProxy Login|website=site.ebrary.com.ipacez.nd.edu.au|access-date=2016-05-15
 * Cite web|url=http://site.ebrary.com.ipacez.nd.edu.au/lib/notredameaustralia/reader.action?docID=10660315&ppg=7|title=The University of Notre Dame Australia :: EzProxy Login|website=site.ebrary.com.ipacez.nd.edu.au|access-date=2016-05-15
 * Cite journal|title=The University of Notre Dame Australia :: EzProxy Login|url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.ipacez.nd.edu.au/doi/10.1111/j.1751-7893.2012.00387.x/abstract|doi=10.1111/j.1751-7893.2012.00387.x/citedby

and several others are all useless for anyone outside your university's network, and since you provide no standard citation information no one has any idea what that reference is.

Does that make sense? Jytdog (talk) 03:10, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
