Recent edit to Mozart effect
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mozart effect, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

 * Mpowerelli, thanks for your edit. Actually, that edit cited several reliable sources, just in parenthetical referencing style rather than Wikipedia's own referencing format. I've spent the last couple of hours changing them to the latter style; the DOI Wikipedia reference generator is very useful for this task. Mpowerelli, The main problem in this case was finding the references in question, since you didn't specify the titles of the articles, and I have no expertise in this field. I believe you also wrote the wrong dates for two of the references; the meta-analysis by Pietschnig, Voracek, and Formann was published in 2010, not 2012, and McCucheon's 2000 article only cites two articles authored by Rauscher (see the references link), neither of which were published in 1998, as you wrote.
