Welcome!

Hello, Brainsteam, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review

Hi Brainsteam, Thank for letting me know about the arrangements for peer review. I'm only missing one paragraph for my article but please feel free to review it when you are ready. The only request that I have is that is finished by the 14th. I hope you are enjoying working on wikipedia. Purple-chameleon —Preceding undated comment added 02:29, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Purple-chameleon, thanks for letting me know, I will get going asap on your article/edit. My article is also ready for peer review (in my sandbox) whenever you get the chance. Brainsteam (talk) 02:44, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review by Purple-chameleon

Hi Brainsteam,

I have read your article, and I have created a few suggestions, I hope they are of good use. The first sentence doesn’t appear to be strong enough to stand alone. The first paragraph appears to be confusing because it’s combining the history and definition of the term. I would recommend you to create two different paragraphs one dedicated to its history and origins and one to the term definition. Also, the language throughout the text is in occasions vague, I would suggest being more precise. The Last sentence in the Signs and Symptoms appears to be confusing, because of the placing of commas and the “and.” Being more precise, is there a difference between visions and visions of people? Or is visions of people part of visions as a whole. Additionally, I would add sections on prevention and management of the disorder. Overall the material is very engaging, and the article would pop out if you could include some images or a summary box that includes synonyms, similar disorders, and classifications ad external resources like the one in the one in Bipolar disorder. There are some typos that could easily be fixed by rereading of the text.

Best, Purple-chameleon —Preceding undated comment added 20:30, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted redirect

There's no edit history - deleted or not - at User:NessaPrincess/Locura or User:NessaPrincess/Locura.. I also can't find any deleted edits of yours. So I'm not sure what's going on here.

A 'cross-namespace redirect' is a redirect that goes from one namespace to another. It's perfectly acceptable to have one from user space to main space (like what's left if you move a sandbox to main space). It isn't acceptable to have them go from main space to user space. If they did, someone might mistake a sandbox for a real Wikipedia article. I don't know if that helps. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

thank you Ian, I think I have figured out the confusion which is mostly resolved by the lack of action happening on this topic. I will still be posting my new article. Thanks! Brainsteam (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review!

Hello Brainsteam,

I think for this review, I will mention some some specific changes, and then do bigger picture comments.

1. The first word in the article should be bolded "Locura..."

2. You do use quite a lot of quotations in your article. I think some of them work because of translation and such, but others you could just paraphrase in your own words.

3. I'm not quite sure about statements like "one author said..." because it doesn't reflect the general understandings. Maybe instead talk about how its removal in the DSM5 leads psychologists to assume its relation to other illnesses.

4. Choose where you wanted your citations. They vary between before and after periods at the end of sentences.

5. The use of pronouns in the History section confuses me. Using "they" for both the shaman (singular or plural?) and the community members.

I noticed an abundance of citations, which is amazing! Great job finding evidence and information on the topic! You use many different sources throughout the article, which works well for Wikipedia! I think that it is probably a difficult topic to research since it was taken out of the DSM, but you explained that very well! I think the most work that needs to be done are just little formatting errors, and some content revision. Overall, it looks great! Congrats on the promising beginnings of a new page!
