[edit] Contributions to Emergency psychiatry

Hey Expo512! Thanks again for your contributions. It seems as if you have some great insight into psychiatric emergency stuff. If you could, though, please remember to provide references for all new material added. Unreferenced material can be removed at any time and could demote articles from "good article" or "featured article" status. It could also consitute original research unless references are used. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you around! Chupper (talk) 16:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Your knowledge would be very helpful around here. Please feel free to get more involved in these psychiatric articles! We would really like to have you around. That being said, good point on the psychosurgery. You are right, it probably would never be used in an emergency setting. In regards to the references - Page numbers are often requested for articles if they need to get to a featured status. When I wrote that article I was in an APA mindset and failed to include page numbers. (For APA style you only use page numbers on direct quotes) I have changed my ways since that time :), and include page numbers now whenever possible. I can assure you though that having references, even though there are no page numbers and some books are 15+ years old ;), is 1000x times better than not having any references. Wikipedia has this policy that unreferenced material can be removed at any time. Thanks again, Chupper (talk) 16:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
