Talk:Textbook of Psychiatry/Diagnosis & Classification

The contributors to this volume are very cognizant of the Wiki rules that any reader can edit text. At the same time, consistent with other Wiki textbooks, we would like to retain our names on the chapters. We would welcome readers who wish to edit text contacting us. Retaining author names in various Wiki books is important for several reasons. First, readers, particularly practicing clinicians, want to be assured of the expertise of the authors. Second, writers, particularly those in academia, want some acknowledgment of their contributions. Sincerely, Dan Stein


 * Here's the thing. If you create an account, you will be able to create a user page that allows you to write a full biography for yourself.  That account name and a link to that user page will then appear in the page history for any page you edit.  We remove the names on pages so that there is not a sense of ownership.  There is no requirement for contact prior to editing.  However, creating an account allows you to be automatically made a reviewer after a time, at which point you can review non-reviewers' edits to pages. – Adrignola discuss 20:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
