Hello, Lizette1102, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits on Health coaching, because there were some issues with the content you added. In particular, the tone was not appropriate for an encyclopedia (we don't write in the second person, using words like "you" and "we"), and the content was not cited to reliable sources. Sites like itspsychology.com and positivepsychology.com are blogs or self-published sites and are not considered reliable by Wikipedia standards. Examples of reliable sources would be textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and books by major publishers. You can read WP:Reliable sources to learn more. I hope this helps. :) Pinging Shalor (Wiki Ed). SpicyMilkBoy ( talk) 23:36, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks SpicyMilkBoy! Lizette1102, since you're editing on a medicine related article I would like you to take this training module on health and medicine related topics. Also, as SpicyMilkBoy stated, you have to be very careful with how you phrase things and the sourcing you use. You have to be as neutral as possible, avoid the second person, and use the strongest possible sources. In most cases the strongest sourcing will often be scholarly and academic sources, although not always. I would recommend utilizing your college's database to see their offerings, as not everything brought up in an Internet search will be usable.
- An example of something you can use would be a literature review like this one or an article that discusses the topic in a general sense like this one appears to. (Definitely correct me SpicyMilkBoy if this isn't.) Tertiary sources like textbooks would also definitely be usable as sources and may be good as far as general discussion goes.
