Hello, Hazelares. I've reverted these edits you made to the following articles:[1][2][3][4]. And a different editor reverted this one you made at another one:[5]. We reverted because, like I mentioned in my edit summaries, we are following WP:SEE ALSO. Per WP:SEE ALSO, editors generally should not add a link to the See also section if that link is found higher in the article. Flyer22 (talk) 17:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I started a discussion on Wikipedia Project Medicine
editHi. I noticed a couple of your edits in relation to work performed by Dick Swaab and I wanted to let you know that I started a discussion on the Wikipedia Project Medicine about a possible self promoting issue. This is not something I have done out of ill will. It is not in anyway a de-evaluation of Dick Swaabs research (our yours if you are him) and it is not a criticism of the content part of your edits. I would like you to take part in the discussion so we hopefully can straighten it out, in lack of a better term. I asked other editors to comment since I myself is somewhat new to Wikipedias policies and practises. I hope you will join in and you do not see this as an personal attack or anything like it. You can find the discussion HERE. Kind regards JakobSteenberg (talk) 22:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Brainport, Netherlands
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Brainport, Netherlands, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Edits
edit- Hazelares - I am sorry that all your work get removed. I don't think anything of the things you wrote here is wrong, it is probably all quite true. It was not removed because it is not true, but because it didn't had references and inline citations. That is nowadays a fairly standard thing=everything added without a citation or source is reverted.
- I am sure that if you find WP:RELIABLE SOURCES it can be added again. But - be careful there it can be removed again, if you use bloggs and comercial advertisment sites - Hafspajen (talk) 17:03, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Public saunas can be found throughout the Netherlands and Flanders, both in major cities and in smaller municipalities. These saunas are called Sauna, Thermen, Thermae or Spa and can be regarded as public bath houses. Generally all the public saunas are mixed gender in the Netherlands and Flanders and have usually a minimum age limit between 12 to 14. Children are most often required to be accompanied by an adult since a certain level of peace and quietness is expected in the sauna area. Some establishments reserve special hours for children between 2 to 4 years and the minimum age limit.
Toilet rooms are always gender separated, but dressing and locker rooms are usually mixed gender. Keeping one's clothes or bathing suit on is strictly forbidden. It is considered inappropriate and unsanitary. Because one uses the sauna naked, one brings at least one towel to sit on and one to dry himself with after the sauna.
The staff of the sauna is usual recognizable by the fact that they wear board shorts and shirts when in the sauna area, and are often even more fully dressed in the restaurant and bar areas.
There is a strong emphasis on hygiene, showers are expected before using any sweating or steam room, bath, relax room, bar or restaurant and after the use of the restroom. Most saunas employ saunameesters (sauna masters), which are gentlemen or ladies who perform a Löyly (Dutch: opgieting, on-pouring) on regular times during the day.
The Dutch public saunas offer each at least a shared hot shower area, a warm foot bath, several dry saunas of different temperature and humidity, a cold bath, an open shared cold shower area with shower baths, a hot water bath (often with herbs), a swimming pool (both indoor and outdoor), a relax area (both indoor and outdoor) and a restaurant / diner / bar area. Often also a steam room is included. Very often massages and other body and skin treatments and breastfeeding or pumping rooms are available at the same facilities.
Though known to cause a rise in the stress hormones due to hyperthermic stress, saunas are most usually perceived as a means for relaxation and for that reason considered healthy in the Netherlands and Flanders. It is also a common way of socializing and bonding with family or friends, though loud conservation is not appreciated, especially not in the sweating room itself. Occasional these establishments offer also women-only or bathing suit times for people who are less comfortable with mixed-gender nudity.
Foreigners who are not familiar with the Northern European sauna tradition or have prude morals sometimes wrongfully associate the public nudity in the sauna with sex or mistake the saunas for brothels or sex clubs. There is no sexual aspect to Dutch and Flemish saunas though, and sexual behavior within the sauna is considered a taboo.
The middle class and wealthier part of the population often have their own private sauna at home, indoors or in the backyard, which usually consists of just a sweating room and shower, and is commonly not used to replace visits to the public saunas but used rather as a complement.
Proposed deletion of Sauna in the Netherlands and Flanders

Please explain which addition you are referring to?
- This content "Critics of reports that show Europeans or Australians are healthier than Americans point to the U.S. lifestyle as a bigger factor than healthcare. Americans have higher rates of obesity than other developed countries, for instance. On the other hand, the other countries have higher rates of smoking, and the Netherlands and Germany, for instance, have a much older population more prone to chronic disease. Every other system covers all its citizens, the report noted and said the U.S. system, leaves 46 million Americans or 15 percent of the population without health insurance."

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Prof. Dr. Dick Swaab.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Prof. Dr. Dick Swaab.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

editHello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting.

Edit warring
editYour recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
