HSPSupport
Sorry about the revert. Notability is an issue on Wikipedia. If this support group has had coverage in notable 3rd party references, such as a newspaper, government website, medical journal or book, then adding a short paragraph on what it is and what it does would be good, along with the reference. I can help with formatting etc. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * You really must stop adding this material to the HSP page. Wikipedia is not a tool to reach out to sufferers - there are other ways of doing that. JFW | T@lk  14:37, 13 June 2008 (UTC)  MUST I?  Indeed.

Mirantha, see my previous post above for a way this could possibly be addressed. I understand your concerns and am trying to provide a platform to accommodate them. But your revert isn't a good way. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 15:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Way forward
Wikipedia has rules on what material is used or linked on various articles. For instance, with schizophrenia, if every well-meaning person put a link to their local schizophrenia support group, we'd have a list a mile long. Some notable groups may have their own pages, or be mentioned in the text of an article. Now i am trying to help, but if you blindly keep adding as is then you will be blocked. I'd rather avoid that. As I said, if this HSP group has been written about somewhere else, such as by a government body or newspaper, then supply a reference and it can be added.

 * Well, I don't meet your standards, so I'll just leave your page alone. Unfortunately, there aren't any other HSP support sites in the US, but that's not your problem is it, since you don't have to deal with HSP.


 * So this is your site then? Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
