Additions to anxiety disorder

[edit]

Have removed your additions to anxiety disorder. Time magazine is not a reliable source. "Casebook in abnormal psychology," should be fine but we need page numbers and I am not sure which part of your additions it supported. Please add the reference inline. WP:MEDHOW has advice on how to edit Wikipedia. Thanks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:15, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

copy editing your article

[edit]

Hi Wes!

The additions you made to your article are great! As for the quality of the article I only assessed the section that you edited for the project. Go back over and make sure that what you have added to the article section is 'coverage neutral' if you did the positives add in the negative too, or if there are no negatives say so. Another item I would look at is editing the lead section to be more clear and concise so that it summarizes the key points of the whole article. Also, I do have a few questions about sections you worked on

  • under the stress section where it says "Somewhere between 4% and 10% of older adults are diagnosed with anxiety disorder" is it any anxiety disorder or GAD? if any then it needs "an" before anxiety if GAD then "generalized" needs to be inserted before anxiety.
  • what did you add to the further reading section?
  • take care of the other comment by another user about citations.

Edits

Under "Childhood anxiety disorders", i maintained the "interpersonal relationships" link because, i think "interpersonal relationships" gives a broader definition that suits that area as compared to "social relationships"

I also changed a few words under "Childhood Anxiety Disorders" original: Research in this area is very difficult to perform because as children grow their fears change, making it difficult for researchers to obtain enough data and thus more reliable results. Changed: Research in this area is very difficult to perform because as children get older their fears change, which makes it difficult for researchers to obtain enough data for more reliable results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerisnfor (talkcontribs) 18:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was hard finding something to edit. Everything else looks good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerisnfor (talkcontribs) 18:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Responds from the edits

[edit]

I appreciate you all going back through my article. I see the basic mental errors that I made that you all corrected. Since you all fixed my errors. I don't know what I should do to my article besides continue to add information. I should have checked with an ambassador to make sure some of my edits were in the correct locations but with you guys help they are now. I liked this assignment it was different from anything I've done before, I've actually told me to go and check out what I've put for anxiety disorder on Wikipedia. This assignment was interesting and I enjoyed it. Once again thanks for your edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wjackson10 (talkcontribs) 17:45, 26 March 2013‎
