Hello, Mhairi27 ... please have a look at Wikipedia's guidelines for sourcing medical content. Primary sources (that is, original studies, even if published in reputable journals) are used only in rare exceptional cases. Content should be sourced to secondary reviews (that is, reviews of the studies by an independent author). Sandy Georgia (Talk) 14:08, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * We tend to edit articles here using a sort of dialectical model called "Bold, Revert, Discuss" (WP:BRD). In short, it's OK to boldly make large changes to an article, as you did, but when someone reverts (removes) those changes and supplies a cogent explanation for why they did so, as SandyGeorgia did, the next step needs to be discussion, rather than just putting the changes back in, as you did. Sandy pointed out above that the material you're using is not in line with our guidelines on what sources to use for medical articles. If you feel that she's wrong about this, or that an exception is justified, you should make your case at Talk:Empathizing–systemizing theory and try to reach agreement with other editors.
