I wrote a bunch of stuff here but lost it in an WP:Edit conflict with this useless edit.

Frustrating.

This page is a copy of Repressed memory. I don't know what the intention is so will treat this as its own thing.

The first thing I do is look at sources.

The sourcing here is terrible. Way too many primary sources, way too many old sources. this needs to be completely worked over using sources that are;

independent

secondary

relatively recent (say the last 5 years)

I already didn't have time to write the much longer thing I wrote. I don't have time to write more now.

The history section for example should be driven by multiple (at least two, since this is a controversial field) high quality sources that themselves are aiming to trace the history of this. Instead Freud and Nietzsche are directly cited, as is some work from the 1970s. Some editor decided those things were worth mentioning here. That is not how WP works. We summarize high quality, recent, secondary, independent sources that are themslves aiming to present accepted knowledge in whatever field they are in.

The psych sections are terribly sourced. For these MEDRS sources are essential.

I can review this draft for structure and style within about 1 week. Aerkem (talk) 21:09, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Rap Chart Mike: I have started modifying this draft. But I feel it would be better to do it after it is moved to Wikipedia proper, where the edits are more visible, more easily traced, and more easily reverted if need be. I would encourage you to replace the existing article as soon as the draft is better, which might be right now. Aerkem (talk) 20:16, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
