 * Hey dragon booster, thanks for the warm welcome. I am still acting a bit clumsy and I am grateful for all the people who (still have to) clean up after me. Yet, my learning curve is getting better and I hope to pay back one time, --Wiki psych21 (talk) 13:35, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Medical references
Hi, please see WP:MEDRS. We don't cite primary medical studies, only reviews or textbooks. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The sourcing available for Decoupling appears to be very weak (in Wikipedia standards). I've moved the article to draftspace under the title Draft:Decoupling for body-focused repetitive behaviors, feel free to move it back when you feel the sourcing is good enough. If you are involved with writing this manual (it appeared you might be from the fact that you mentioned it in the body text), you might want to read our guide for those with a conflict of interest. Feel free to write on my talk page if you need assistance, the Teahouse is also often helpful. – Thjarkur (talk) 00:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello Thjarkur, thanks for taking the time to read my contribution. I kindly ask you to undo the deletion (of course, I am fine with editing) for two reasons: a number of sentences in that particular article are even unquoted (e.g., that no treatment is sometimes recommended) or have dubious quotes (unclear source) so that I do not understand why my edit (with references) should be inferior. More importantly, I can also provide a quote from a meta-analysis, which was published in a well-respected journal (J Affect Dis, doi:10.1016/j.jad.2011.04.051). Yours, --Wiki psych21 (talk) 01:08, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I saw that you deleted other edits as well. Perhaps we can find a compromise here because it would be very unfair in my opinion to delete statements such as mine with evidence-based quotes but leave other statements that have no reference or rely on single studies, too. Perhaps quote the meta-analysis (see above)? Yours, --Wiki psych21 (talk) 01:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Please use high quality review articles rather than small primary sources. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 09:24, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello Doc James, thanks a lot. I have edited the site on "habit reversal training" accordingly and now cited a review from a good journal (Journal of Affective Disorders, IF: 4.08), yours Wiki psych21 (talk) 09:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Decoupling for body-focused repetitive behaviors moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Decoupling for body-focused repetitive behaviors, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 06:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Dear Mccapra, thank you. As advised, I will add references. There is a new independent review available, yours --Wiki psych21 (talk) 18:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Dear Mccapra, I just made some changes and would be grateful if the article could be made visible as a regular wikipedia article again. Yours, --Wiki psych21 (talk) 19:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Enterprisey (talk!) 04:07, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Dear Enterprisey, I am disappointed but fully understand your points and agree that a broader category like "Retraining" where "Imaginal Retraining" is one of several subsections is perhaps a better idea. Can I just rewrite "Imaginal retraining" to "Retraining" (with a broader coverage of contents) or do you advise to create a new wikipedia page. Again, I agree with your points, yours Wiki psych21 (talk) 08:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "Retraining" could work; I can't really find that many sources on it, but you're the experts, so I'm sure you could do better than me. You can use the "Move" option - see HELP:MOVE - to rename the page to "Retraining" (or whatever title you would like). Enterprisey (talk!) 05:37, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

August 2021
Hello, Wiki psych21. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

Scientific articles should mainly reference review articles to ensure that the information added is trusted by the scientific community.

Editing in this way is also a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest in Wikipedia – please see WP:SELFCITE and WP:MEDCOI. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM) and the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

Finally, please be aware that the editing community highly values expert contributors – please see WP:EXPERT. I do hope you will consider contributing more broadly. If you wish to contribute, please first consider citing review articles written by other researchers in your field and which are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite your own research, please start a new thread on the article talk page and add requestedit to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

 * Thanks, I understand, no bad intentions, will go to the tea room soon to get further input/advice, yours ≈
 * Hello MrOllie and wiki psych21. I hope you are well. I saw the many edits/reversions made yesterday and would like to offer my help -- I also hope for your understanding that I have created a new account as I do not want to get between the lines (eg that my intervention as a "referee" backfires on me and my own entries) -- I am a researcher on anxiety and depression and I am active in some of the pages in question -- I do not feel that I have a conflict of interest as I am not affiliated with the authors in question (Moritz, @MrOllie: someone else?). From my perspective a compromise seems possible in some cases after a shallow preliminary survey; in some instances however I lean towards MrOllie. For example, the citation on meta-cognitive training is on an original work. A review would be required as a reliable source. Please allow me some time to review the pages -- I wish you all the best, Referee-a (talk) 06:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , I would suggest you edit more generally for a while, first. Most editors who deal with COI editors will assume that brand new accounts in these circumstances are not actually brand new persons. MrOllie (talk) 11:36, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear MrOllie, I understand these concerns -- I will do as advised but really want to help here. I agree that meta-cognitive training was deleted in the depression page. Yet, ACT might be worth mentioning. Will look at the other sites in the coming days -- I wish you all the best, Referee-a (talk) 17:44, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
