MOS/MSH
editDanielleSayre please see WP:MOS and specifically, WP:MSH; cleaning up the section headings here would be appreciated. Wikipedia does not use uppercase throughout, and does not repeat words in section headings. All of the section headings here are out of whack with guidelines, and there is missing linking.

clarification
editSandyGeorgia, thank you for the input--I'm a little confused though. In terms of using uppercase throughout the headings, someone fixed that mistake for me when I first started and I've tried to be consistent since. Currently the headings only have the first word capitalized; am I misreading something about "sentence case"? Regarding redundancy in headings, I replaced the heading that repeated the title but I don't see anything in the style manual that says you can't repeat any words at all. Are you referring, for example, to the repeated use of the word symptoms (e.g. "Psychological symptoms" as a subheading under "Categories of symptoms")? I can't think of a shorter or clearer heading there, and it specifies in the manual that referencing a higher order heading is okay if it's shorter or clearer to title it that way than some other way. Re: linking, are you referring still to within the headings, or just in general that there should be more links? Thanks for any and all clarification! I'm new to this, so please be patient with me.

- There's much more than that. Actually, this article is not in very good shape on any measure, so that I'm a bit reluctant to even try to wade in. There are many problems. Bluntly, there is so much to do here, that I don't want to even start unless you are planning to stick with it for several months; we can't get it done quickly. So, how much time do you have? When does your course end? And, for starters, let's get your sig straightened out, since it's not working. Could you review the discussion with your classmate at User_talk:Gemayelc#Jastrow, to try to fix your sig? And could you follow what your other classmate User:Mbhargis is doing at Cognitive specialization, adding PMIDs? By adding PMIDs, I can more easily show you the numerous places where you are using primary sources incorrectly. There's not a lot of point in fixing your headings at this point, since a lot of what you have written needs to be removed. Sorry for the bad news ... but it's beyond just the headings.

- The course ends tomorrow, but I'm up for continuing to work on the article. It will just be slow going until after the holidays because I'll have very limited internet access for a few weeks. Better on the sig line? DSayre (talk) 07:35, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
