Thanks for your additions to Doctor of Chiropractic. I assume it was also you who added the same material to Chiropractic education, before you created this username. I have no problem with the material itself; it is relevant and adds to the article. However, there is a problem with the way you did it. With the inclusion of those odd reference numbers such as [34] [35] [65], it looks as if it was copy-pasted from some other source, and Wikipedia doesn't allow that; they are very strict about copyright here. Also, the way you did the references, putting them in by hand at the bottom of the reflist, isn't proper. I would suggest you go back to these additions and, first, make sure they are in your own words, not a copy of something - and then cite them properly to the original source from which you got the information. The easiest way to do that is to use the "cite" box on the row of boxes just above the edit window. If you click that, it will give you a choice of formats - web, news, book, etc. Choose one and fill in the blanks such as URL, title, author, date, source (which may be called "work" or "newspaper"), etc. Then put your cursor at the place in the article where you want the reference to go, and click "add citation". That's important! If you don't click "add citation" to put it into the article, it will vanish and you'll have to do it all again. See if you can get this to work. If you have any questions just ask me. No need to use the  tag, I will see it. --MelanieN (talk) 15:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * On second thought: the info on chiro salaries is fine for these two articles, but the info on cost effectiveness of chiro care belongs somewhere else, not in the DC and Education articles. Maybe in the main article Chiropractic. I won't delete the section at this time; I'll leave it so you can work on it; but it should be removed from these two articles and put somewhere more appropriate IMO. --MelanieN (talk) 16:01, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for fixing the references. I moved the "cost effectiveness" material to the article Chiropractic. --MelanieN (talk) 18:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
