Your revisions to Midwifery

Hi, thanks for your additions to the Midwifery article. However, there are some issues that need to be dealt with. First, the text looks quite a lot as if it comes from somewhere else and has been copied and pasted here. Can you confirm that it has not? If it has, then I'm afraid it can't stay. If it hasn't, there are a number of formatting issues to deal with:

Is there any reason why you created this as a subsection of "Canada"? Please find a better place for it in the article.
Why the extra spaces between paragraphs?
The references need to be brought into line with the rest of the article, using footnotes. Instructions here.
Adding the references at the end in a separate little section is unacceptable. Use the footnote syntax as described above, which will automatically add them. When doing so, you should use templates from here.

If you don't deal with these issues, I'm afraid there's a good chance your additions may just get deleted. Remember, Wikipedia is about constructing an encyclopedia, so additions need to be properly integrated into articles. garik (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any difficulties with the above, by the way, feel free to ask. garik (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted your work but I do feel that it was good work and appropriate for the article. But as noted above it does need a little work. It would work well in a section other than "Canada" and it needs some work with the sources. As it is (was) it has all the appearances of being copied from a scholarly source. Like Garik, I'd be glad to help you to put it in the article as well. Please leave a note here and we'll see what we can do! Gandydancer (talk) 11:41, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
