Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Trichotillomania. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Graham Colm ^Talk 19:32, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, Tbrunson. Thank you for trying to improve Trichotillomania. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow original research to be incorporated in articles. While citing oneself can be done with care, the source must be a high quality publication. Our Verifiability policy does not allow the use of self published websites apart from in very limited circumstances. If you believe hypnotherapy has a widely recognised role to play in the treatment of trichotillomania, can you find a quality publication for this. For example, a review paper in a medical academic journal. Please see our guidelines for sources for medical articles.

Please also be aware that edit warring with other editors is not allowed and there is a hard limit of 3 reverts one can apply before being swiftly blocked. Where you are in disagreement with other editors, it is best to resolve the issue on the article talk page before applying further changes to the article.

If you need any help, just ask here (i'm watching this page), my talk page or the article talk page. Cheers, Colin°^Talk 19:50, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search on PubMed for "Trichotillomania hypnosis" shows there are seven review papers that may be useful. I don't have access to these papers myself (and one needs to read the whole paper, not just the abstract, in order to be able to use it as a source) but if you do, then those are probably the sort of sources we are looking for. If you find a suitable paper, WP:MEDMOS has some guidance on easily citing a paper you find on PubMed. Colin°^Talk 19:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trichotillomania

Added information needs to be referenced to reliable sources such as peer reviewed journal articles. Cheers. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:57, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
