Talk:Wellness Recovery Action Plan

Replaced message box

I have replaced the message box added in Dec 2012 (This article relies on references to primary sources) as the article carries no inline references (except that referring to the recovery model generally), nor any third-party references, and refers only to Mary Copeland's website and to a non-specific non-verifiable general reference to the SAMSA website. The article currently requires third party, verifiable inline citations. LookingGlass (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Good call. I was too hasty. Jojalozzo 21:02, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks :) I got into a tangle over with making a ref to the THRIVE model under See also, trying to contextualise WRAP? http://www.danielstonetherapy.co.uk/blog/read_44844/mental-health-recovery-part-3-models-of-recovery.html I can only find THRIVE on an odd website http://www.crazydiamond.org.uk/thrive, but think it is "recognised"? Ideas? LookingGlass (talk) 21:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Common co-authors of WRAP reviews

When looking into notability of this article (it checks out btw), I noticed that there were a handful of frequent co-authors with Mary Ellen Copeland on her journal articles about it. For the sake of making it easier to tell what journal article authors may not be independent from her, here's a handy list:

• Judith A. Cook
• Jessica A. Jonikas
• Dennis D. Grey
• Lisa A. Razzano
• Marie M. Hamilton
• Carol Bailey Floyd
• Walter B. Hudson
• Rachel T. Macfarlane
• Tina M. Carter
• Sherry Boyd

There are some others that only co-authored one article with her; I'm far less concerned about the independence of those individuals. Also it's real weird that this very quiet talk page has an archives set up. And that the only thing in it is a post from a user with suspected CoI. But I suppose it isn't actively a problem. --Xurizuri (talk) 09:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Multiple article merge proposal

I'm proposing that Mary Ellen Copeland and Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery are merged into this article, Wellness Recovery Action Plan:

• Mary Ellen Copeland's source of notability is WRAP
• The Copeland Center article does not actually contain a credible claim of significance, and its coverage is generally trivial mention within the context of WRAP
• Conversely, WRAP can and has been discussed outside of the context of both other topics, and there are easily enough independent, reliable review articles to establish its notability
• Each topic is best discussed within the context of each other due to these connections (WP:MERGEREASON, WP:PAGEDECIDE).

I will merge tag all three pages and notify the other two talk pages. Because all three articles have very few watchers, I will notify WP:WikiProject Psychology and WP:WikiProject Addictions and recovery as well. -- Xurizuri (talk) 04:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Given the silence, I will merge the articles (link is to an explanatory supplement). Feel free to revert if further discussion is needed. --Xurizuri (talk) 12:19, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Peach Press

I'm editing the article for relevance following the merge, and I'm about to remove this sentence:

Copeland is the owner of Peach Press which publishes many of her books and other works.

I thought I'd put it here so that it's obvious that Peach Press isn't independent. --Xurizuri (talk) 13:06, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
