thread_title: Timing

message: I added some simple structure since the content was large enough to warrant it, and I believe this improved readability. I'm not married to the exact section headers though, if you have better ideas for them or for the structure I invite you to change those. - Owlmonkey (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Structure 

message: "A study conducted by Heleen Slagter, Richard Davidson and colleagues, suggests that meditation, particularly vipassana, may reduce the duration of attentional blink. In an experiment, 17 people received three months of intensive training in meditation. Those 17 along with 23 meditation novices performed an attention task in which they successively picked out two numbers embedded in a series of letters. The novices exhibited attentional blink and missed the second number. In contrast, all the trained meditators consistently picked out both numbers. This indicated meditation practice can improve focus.[6][7]"
The finding that frequent meditators perform better in an RSVP task might not be due to improved focus. To the contrary, a number of articles illustrated that a diffuse state of attention, not focus, leads to a better performance in an RSVP task. For example Olivers and Niewuenhuis (2005)
show that non-task related music in the background or doing free association during an RSVP task leads to attenuation of the attentional blink. They argue that this is done by producing diffuse
attentional state.

thread_title: Editing

message: Iv'e uploaded my additions to this article several of times and it has been taken down because of formatting issues. I am wondering if there are any suggestions on how I can fix this I will greatly appreciate it. Here is a link to my version of the article modarticle2, please help me fix this problemTaydncn (talk) 00:50, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you add material to the article that's fine (assuming it follows all the usual rules about being encyclopedic, referenced etc), but you've also been unbolding the lead, adding a non-functional navbox and removing categories.  I suggest you add new material into the relevant sections of the article (and add new sections as necessary) rather than overwriting the whole article. Please also provide an edit summary for each edit to explain why the edit improves the article (even something like "new info" is better than nothing). For info: I'm no expert in the subject matter here; this article came to my attention because all its categories had been removed. DexDor (talk) 06:38, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I did not realize the categories have been removed and fixed them. The navbox is working in my workspace, i don't know why its not working on the article page. I've add to the talk page about what I have added to the article. I did add to the relevant sections to the article also adding a new section. The info that was in the original article is still in there. If you click on the modarticle2 link you can see all of this. Let me know what you think before I upload my version of the article to the page.Taydncn (talk) 17:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The draft article in your userspace shouldn't be in categories; category tags can be commented out (either using HTML tags or by inserting an extra colon in each tag as I've just done). If you copy your draft over the mainspace article you should remove the extra colons (or someone else will do it) - I normally edit sections of an article rather than paste over the whole thing.  In your draft there are a few bits that could do with copyediting (e.g. some spurious characters at the end of Meditation section and WP:MOS issues) - are you happy for me to copyedit your draft (normally I wouldn't edit another users draft apart from commenting out the category tags) ? Re the navbox you're trying to use - what other article uses it ? DexDor (talk) 18:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You can copyedit my draft if you like, I'll appreciate it. I'm actually new to wikipedia editing and this assignment was for class. Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated.Taydncn (talk) 19:22, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done some copyediting and suggest you paste it into the main article - don't forget to remove the extra colons in the category tags, to use an edit summary (especially important if you're removing any existing material) and to blank your draft when you've finished with it (so it doesn't show up on "what links here").

thread_title: Formatting Issue

message: References 1 and 12 are identical... it appears 1 is using the CSE format, which I prefer and which is coming more into use in the particular field(s) this article concerns, but I have no idea what citation style 12 is in (semi-colons in author list?), but I suggest we merge both into #1 and edit the in-text... thoughts?--Mister Internet (talk) 03:33, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
