Apropos of the health psychology entry, User:Psyballed, this is what I don't understand. You have about 15 edits in Wikipedia. So you are a "newcomer" to WP. I have in excess of 13,000 edits. Right off the bat you know so much about WP that you can challenge my edits on the health psychology page. It is not that you don't have the right to challenge my edits. You do. But it is unusual that someone so new to WP knows his or her around WP from the git-go. When I was new to WP, it took me some time to get going and know how to do things. But I am going to assume that your edits and your comments are in good faith. For the time being.

Here is a source that you missed although I cited it on the health psychology talk page but you neglected to check it: "Briefly stated, health psychology is dedicated to the application of psychological theories, principles, and practices to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of physical disease and dysfunction. Occupational health psychology, then, is the practice of health psychology relating to, or in the context of, the occupational milieu." Iss246 (talk) 14:27, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Health psychology shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
