thread_title: Article Expansion

message: First time on Wiki - and I am not sure if I do this right.
1. I just published a Kneipp novel: Sebastian Kneipp, Water Doctor. http://www.amazon.com/Sebastian-Kneipp-Water-Doctor-Witchcraft/dp/145381776X/ref=sr_1_138?s=STORE&ie=UTF8&qid=1285280951&sr=1-138
How can I put this information oin the website???
2. The Five Health Essentials according to Kneipp: He calls the Fifth Pillar not "Spirituality" but "Order". I think "order" contains more than just spirituality. It is about the natural order we should not violate if we want our bodies to be healthy. For instance, sufficient sleep belongs in the "order" category - has nothing to do with "spirituality". Although, "spirituality" can be a part of that "order".
Thanks a lot!

thread_title:  Kneipp novel 

message: "In Norway he is mostly known for his bread recipe based on whole wheat. Kneipbrød (Kneipp Bread) is the most commonly eaten bread in Norway."
Kneipp's bread used whole wheat, but other than that it has little in common with the bread eaten in Norway. It did not use yeast or raising agents of any sorts (nor salt or any kind of spices). Since this meant it became an inedible brick of a bread, part of the recipe was taking it out of the oven when almost done, dipping it in boiling water briefly, and subsequently putting it back in the oven (source "Dr. Kneipps Vand-Kur", old Norwegian leaflet presenting Kneipp's ideas).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.1.73.1 (talk) 12:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Article expansion

message: Really great job on the article! I few comments:
- In the early life section, I think it would be a good idea to put in the specific illness Sebastian Kneipp suffered. 
- In the history section:
  - Get rid of some of the quotations and instead put the information in your own words
  - Great comparison with hospital medicine!
  - I think you could make a separate section titled "Methodology" to explain Kneipp's techniques and compare them to other theories concurrent theories of healing
  - Give a little more explanation for his reasoning behind his unconcerned attitude towards his remedies not having a scientific explanation

thread_title:  Review  

message: Good job on this article! I think it would be good to include more on how Kneipp came across and expanded on Vincent Priessnitz's conception of hydropathy under the "History" section. There is a wide variety of content in that section now, which helps the article cover more ground. But to make it easier to read and navigate, more subsections could be created to highlight how Kneipp's therapy related to and built on the variety of other theories mentioned (i.e. the humoral theory and perhaps Puritan medicine too). It would also be interesting to expand more about how elements of Kneipp's water cure is still used in medical treatments today (elaborate on in what ways were his treatments part of mainstream medicine in Germany"?)

thread_title:  Some Suggestions for Edits 

message: Hi, I'm from 140.106.  I think you did a great job updating this article and responding to the other person's review.  One thing that I think could streamline this article a little better would be breaking up the History section into subsections, so that the reader can more easily jump to whichever part they are interested in.  I also disagree with the previous person who said that you should have a bulleted list at the top of your article.  I think these details should be in the text of the article and not the header.  Overall great work! Lpoisson14 (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
