[edit] Question, comment

Hi,

Regards this edit, where in the talk page was it established that it was not a pseudoscience? I noticed you posted a comment in a section dating to 2006 and the other sections I didn't see evidence of a consensus that it was not pseudoscience, though my read-through was cursory. Could you give me a link to the specific section so I could read it in its entirety?

Second, you are entitled to simply delete information from your talk page, but generally archiving is preferred (and automatable!)

One thing you might want to consider is passing this question past Fyslee on his talk page - he's closer to these kind of debates than I, and is familiar with the page. I would call it pseudoscientific, based more on it's assertion of efficacy (without testing or proof) than anything else, though he may say have a more refined idea of what makes a pseudoscience.

That, was a lovely post on Fyslee's page. Very cordial. Good work gets noticed! WLU (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I have replied on my talk page. See you there! -- Fyslee / talk 05:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tools and resources

Hola,

If you start adding information to the reflexology page, you might coniser using the following tools:

Citation templates are super handy and clean (plus the above tools do the work for you); simply put the template in the <ref></ref> tags, and it automatically generates a footnote and places the information at the bottom. If you wish to use the same reference several times in the page, cite it in full the first time, but replace <ref> with <ref name = XXXX> (where XXXX is the name of the refernce - you can use anything but it's usually easier if you use the author's name or some recognizable short form, like James, ITG, RTK, whatever). In subsequent citations, use <ref name = XXXX/> (note that it ends in /> not a simple >). Here's an example:

Research in complementary medicine is essential.<ref name = Cornbleet>{{cite journal 
 |author=Cornbleet MA, Ross CS |title=Research in complementary medicine is essential 
 |journal=BMJ |volume=322 |issue=7288 |pages=736–7 |year=2001 |pmid=11293422 |doi=}}</ref>

 Blah blah blah, but let's not forget that research on complimentary medicine is 
 essential.<ref name = Cornbleet/>

 ==References==

 {{Reflist}}

This shows up as:

Research in complementary medicine is essential.[1]

Blah blah blah, but let's not forget that research on complimentary medicine is essential.[1]

And the nice thing is, I used diberry to generate the cornbleet reference after tracking down the pubmed number on pubmed. WLU (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Did I spam you this essay already? You might find it helpful. WLU (talk) 17:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


reply for you, if you didn't see it, you may want to adjust your preferences to automatically watch pages you edit. I usually do this with user's talk pages, in case they reply to me there (and unwatch a couple days later if there's no evidence they will). WLU (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
