Dear Hughstandish:

Wikipedia does not accept any text that has been published elsewhere. All of its articles are written collaboratively by multiple editors the text is no longer the property of the authors. It is not a place to publish essays or scholarly papers.

Also, Wikipedia does not accept articles about new ideas or concepts or discoveries until they have been covered substantially in the mainstream media, so that independent, neutral sources can be referenced in the articles.

If any of the topics in your papers have been covered by books, newspapers, magazines, medical journals, etc., and don't already have an article in the encyclopedia, you can write out a new article about it, include proper references to these sources, and be prepared for your article to be changed by others as new information sources are found. I know that this is not what you were hoping to hear. —Anne Delong (talk) 18:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Homeocranial Therapy

Dear Anne de Long,

Thank you for your considered response to my request to publish information relating to the therapeutic discipline 'Homeocranial therapy'. It is my intention to evoke a dialogue on this subject because there are many hundreds of therapists who use an integrative approach in their work with patients and I wish to explore, with others, the parameters, approaches and benefits of such a way of working.

In summary, I am seeking a collaborative (NOT solely owned) way of elaborating and sharing an effective therapeutic combination.

Is this an acceptable approach in terms of Wkipedia's vision of building a worldwide database and exchange of ideas re ways of working together for the benefit of all?

I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards

Hugh Standish

Dear Hugh:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a message board or chat line, and cannot be used to spread or discuss new ideas or to promote original research. It only contains articles about topics that are well known and written about in many other places. If you want to start a discussion and gather people together who want to work on research or collaborate on ideas, you should consider posting your material on a blog or Facebook page - that's what they are for. If you post this type of material on Wikipedia, it will swiftly be deleted under one of several Wikipedia policies, such as no original research, no information unsupported by independent sources, no essays, or no promotion of any viewpoint. I say this because I don't like to see you waste your time.

There is a Wikipedia page designed especially to explain this, and here it is: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

I know this is not what you wanted to hear, —Anne Delong (talk) 02:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
