Hey Dena! This looks like a great start to your article. I made some small grammatical edits. One other suggestion would be to expand on the background/history of this and how it got started. You touch on it a little bit when you say it was popularized by those with ADHD but there could maybe be room for a little more explanation here on how and why it became more common. But good job overall! :) -Lmeyler02 (talk) 19:26, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dena! This was an interesting read and I hear "parallel playing" often, but didn't know it could be called "body doubling!" I agree with Lily that expanding on the history of body doubling could be helpful and maybe where it's popular (is this something mainly in the U.S., is it global?). Great job and I'm excited to read the finished article! Lvogel1 (talk) 12:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incoming improvements

Hi, I was in the process of creating an article on Body Doubling and would love to work with you to add some details. Dena.wolfs (talk) 18:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dena.wolfs, I think you should start porting your content from User:Dena.wolfs/Body_doubling. Perhaps LoomCreek will be able to look in and give feedback if appropriate. -Reagle (talk) 16:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reagle Yeah I would be more than happy to. LoomCreek (talk) 19:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the additions have already been made, I'll just comb through it and make edits if necessary LoomCreek (talk) 19:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great! Happy to work with you and help you out! Dena.wolfs (talk) 19:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to add more articles embedded from Wikipedia. It says we don't have enough. Dena.wolfs (talk) 19:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I think you just mistakenly added the Underlinked template to the page, I can just quickly fix it. - LoomCreek (talk) 19:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also if you'd like to link terms you can highlight a word and click the link button (the button looks like a chain) - LoomCreek (talk) 19:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, awesome! I see now thank you for all your help!Dena.wolfs (talk) 14:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ofc! happy to be of help! LoomCreek (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article looks great! Dena.wolfs (talk) 15:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know why my citations aren't saving? I am trying to add in my final two citations but they won't save. It keeps saying "Citation Needed" Dena.wolfs (talk) 02:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They're being saved, they've just been reverted. @Laurier has been reverting them since the source cited doesn't mention/support the claim. Specifically the medication sentence. They're then re-adding the {{citation needed}} template to indicate a source is still needed.

You can see the Body doubling edit history here to see their specific comments.

Best of luck! - LoomCreek (talk) 02:43, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, and that hasn't changed, so please find another source; I'll re-add the 'citation needed'-template again... Laurier (xe or they) (talk) 16:23, 14 April 2024

You re-added the source in two places. Could you please give us the quote in the source where the source supports the statements? Laurier (xe or they) (talk) 05:49, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Laurier "PAST:

The most common and effective medications are methylphenidates and amphetamines." (It's discussing adhd treatment specifically, those are the generic names for Ritalin and Adderall respectively) Best, LoomCreek (talk) 15:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, LoomCreek! Dena.wolfs (talk) 16:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't reply here; yes, I see it now, thank you! And sorry for repeatedly missing that sentence in the source! Laurier (xe or they) (talk) 15:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Laurier You're okay, it happens! Glad it's sorted out. LoomCreek (talk) 00:35, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More sources that do not support the text

Tagged a couple additional sources that didn't support the content, in addition to the ones @Laurier tagged. I think this might be a problem with this article, so I'm leaving a talk page note. Mrfoogles (talk) 22:34, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
