Welcome!

Hello, Camimitchell35, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Sourcing

Hi. I noticed that an article you're working on, nature therapy, was nominated for deletion. Part of the argument they're making for deletion stems from the fact that most of the article is this "Making sense of ecotherapy" booklet. As sources go, this just isn't good enough. You need scholarly sources, and in the case of something that's "therapy" related, you should be looking for review articles that look at the literature in a systematic fashion. At the very least, you should be working off of sources that meet Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. This booklet appears to have been produced by Mind, which seems like a reputable charity (the UK equivalent of a non-profit in the US), but they aren't a scholarly organization, there's no evidence that the booklet was written by experts (there's no information about authorship at all), it cites no sources and it has no information about the review process it went through.

You need to find much better sources for contributions to Wikipedia. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:34, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Ian, thank you for your feedback. I have been searching for better sources to supplement the information that is currently in this article.Camimitchell35 (talk) 15:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
