Music therapy for Alzheimer's disease
[edit]Hi, Emcurrie; I have removed this edit for several reasons. A good deal of it is written in an essay-like (rather than encyclopedic) tone (examples are wording like "As you can see", "Our brains", "Just as you would think"). Some of it goes off-topic; on Wikipedia, we use wikilinks to link to other articles to avoid duplicating content that is already or better included elsewhere (for example, at Alzheimer's disease). Some of it is overly promotional and based on advocacy websites. And finally, the gist of what you added contradicts what was already in the article based on sources that comply with Wikipedia's guideline for editing medical content-- that is, its use is mostly uninvestigated and most studies are of poor quality. Please have a good look at WP:MEDRS and the sources already used in the article for examples of the kinds of sources that would be helpful in expanding that article.
