Hi there: I'm a new user with a suggestion to have a Wikipedia entry for Stott Pilates. (Disclosure: I am employed by Stott Pilates.) I have taken the liberty of drafting an article on my user page but didn't want to post publicly due to conflict of interest. Anybody agree that this warrants an article? How can I help?

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

It's been suggested to exclude Cochrane Collaboration and similar reviews from Chiropractic on WP:OR grounds. Comments are requested at Talk:Chiropractic #Request for Comment: Excluding treatment reviews. Eubulides (talk) 06:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking for a place to request a reassessment of an article which has undergone major changes since it was rated. Bates method is the article I want to request that for, since the B-Class rating is about a year old. PSWG1920 (talk) 18:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a request to add our informational/bulletin board-style site for zen shiatsu to your external links. My teaching partner and I teach zen shiatsu at three different schools in Tucson throughout the year. One is a career training program at Asian Institute of Medical Studies, one is a venue for continuing education credit and public classes, and the third is foundational training in an established massage therapy program. Our site is http://www.zenshiatsutucson.org Thank you for your consideration, sincerely. Kristin Schaefer 68.230.53.231 (talk) 04:53, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:SPAM and WP:LINKFARM. As a policy, Wikipedia only includes external links which meet a specific criteria. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 08:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have done some serious revision of the shiatsu article. I have tidied up the introduction, adjusted the Namikoshi bias and added a more global view, added more explanatory notes on diagnosis, made reference to a major europe wide shiatsu study of shiatsu and mentioned the opposition to shiatsu from health authorities. It's worth looking at again and perhaps removing the controversial tag that welcomes the reader now.

There is, what I believe, a blatant skepto-attack on Donna Eden. The article is being put up for deletion a second time. Legitimate sources have been removed (which I put back). The motivation seems clearly that there is a set of people who think energy medicine is junk and thus all things related are not noteworthy. If you have an interest, I would like to direct you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donna Eden 2.

P.S. Is this a reasonable use of this page? I'm not sure. If not, let me know what alternative approach to take. --Mbilitatu (talk) 17:30, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should be careful that you do not violate WP:CANVASS. I am of the opinion that you are not violating that particular set of rules with this post, but always keep it in mind when you are trying to gain visibility for projects/ideas you want to see happen at Wikipedia.

Article claims he had a significant role in "systematization of Traditional Chinese Medicine" if someone could clarify it would be appreciated, as my knowledge of this area is low. --Nate1481 09:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Alternative medicine WikiProject tag was recently added to this article's talk page, but I don't see how it is within the scope of the WikiProject on Alternative Medicine. Any explanation? --WikiSlasher (talk) 00:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
