Hi! Thanks so much for this -- I'll dive in and start reading soon. I've done some anonymous edits over the years, but I'm not experienced with having a formal Wikipedia account. This will provide me with some great reading about the more advanced stuff that I'm not so familiar with. Much appreciated! OnwardOGH (talk) 16:16, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Let me add to the welcome! You may perhaps be interested in WP:WikiProject Aquarium Fishes. Please feel free to get in touch with me any time if you have any questions at all about editing on Wikipedia. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I do plan on contributing to the aquarium fishes project, at least in some way. I've worked with aquariums for more than 20 years, and bred my first non-livebearer 15 years ago. I'd like to at least contribute some nice photos to some of the plant and shrimp pages that we don't currently have. Thanks again -- I'm really looking forward to getting going with all this!

Travel Physical Therapists

Well, as the IP who removed your section on Travel Physical Therapists said, your addition is not a specialty, and contains commercial links, also known as spam. In my opinion it is also overlong. I suggest ditching the commercial links, and simply adding a sentence to the US salary information paragraph about the higher salaries enjoyed by Traveling Physical Therapists.

Oh! How did you find that? Thank you.

There aren't many online sources about travel PT, despite there being thousands of professionals working in the area. I had a tough time finding a strong source to show the duration of the assignment. Perhaps it's not necessary to cite it? I was worried about only linking to Onward Healthcare, as it's a property of Onward OGH, despite the validity of the infographic as a source. I have some articles I could use as well, but they're all print -- would that be frowned upon?

One final question -- if not a specialty area, then what? It does require a specific cross-section of professional, definitely. Additionally, I wasn't sure this constituted its own section, so I tried to tuck it in there. Should I just make it a stub article on its own?

Sorry to bombard you with questions.OnwardOGH (talk) 22:17, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

A stub article will never be read. Rest assured, people will zero in on the higher salary info. I have plopped in that info for you. Abductive (reasoning) 02:03, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I mean that's great, but the US Bureau has no information about Travel PT wages. So your citation doesn't help. OnwardOGH (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
