thread_title:  Edits 

message: Nice work with the article so far.
The Further readings section has a lot of information that can be added to the body of the article. It should also be cut down in length and have external links added.
Wikipedia links should be added to the Phipps Clinic and a few other major people and institutions mentioned within the article.
The legacy section is quite lengthy, and difficult to understand. Perhaps sort it into publications, awards, appointments, etc.
In-text citations are matched with links in the Notes section. They should be in the References section.
In the information box at the beginning, is Influences and Influenced necessary? Some of the people are never mentioned in the article.
Nice job! Jdeales1 (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Great job!!
Just a few points...
1. Citations (especially in the legacy section)
2. Legacy section- subheadings
3. hyperlink to clinic
4. picture of clinic

thread_title:  peer review 

message: Some suggestions for your article: 
* Have you read any information about his death? Usually, there's a sentence or two about the subject's death, so it could be helpful to add that to the article. 
* I think the section "Ideas" could be renamed to something else. Maybe you could say "Contributions" or "Influence on Medicine"? 
* When you mention William Henry Welch, you could link to his page. Here's the article for William H. Welch. 
Overall, the page looks great! You guys have made great improvements. Nice job! Ahong11 (talk) 18:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: Hey guys, your article looks really good so far. 
I would probably recommend adding either one or two more images to your page, maybe an image of meyer working at phipps.
I would also recommend that in the "publications" section you could add a sentence or two describing each publication- what it was about/any important points from each, so that way we can get a sense of what meyer's publications were actually about.
Other than that, good job!!!

thread_title: PEER REVIEW

message: Nice additions so far. Recommended changes/additions:
* The article is becoming a bit text heavy. Try adding a picture or two.
* The first paragraph of medical career should be broken up. Perhaps add a sub-section "Career Outside US".
* I think the "Ideas" section needs to be revised. There are minor elements of bias, and I don't think all of the statements can be confirmed with sources. Perhaps rename the section "Publications", and cite his articles.
Good job! Jdeales1 (talk) 03:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Peer Review 

message: Great job so far!!
I would suggest adding another picture if you can
Maybe divide up the "medical career" section a little.  Split the first paragraph up, and if you can add another subheading
I love that you have an "ideas" subsection in "legacy", I think it just needs a little more citing.
Other that these things, awesome job!!

thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: This article has a lot of information which is really good, but there are a lot of long paragraphs that could be split up to make it easier to read. I also think you should change the title of the medical career section to early career since you talk about his later work at Hopkins in the next section. You did a good job at showing his legacy on the field of psychiatry and his ideas that influenced other psychiatric professionals. Cstauch1 (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I think this article is almost done. The only problem is that you have too much information in each section, so I think you definitely need to include sub-sections. Besides this, I think you have done a very good job compiling information. Structure is probably all that is necessary at this point. Rserafi2 (talk) 21:12, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: The article looks great!  The only things I would suggest are adding a little more info to the early career section and dividing some of the larger paragraphs into smaller ones (specifically the "Ideas" section under "Legacy."  Aside from that, good job!  Devynbell114 (talk) 22:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: Article looks good! My only recommendations are to add more information to the introduction paragraph, so that it gives a full comprehensive view on his person. Aside from that, I'd recommend restructuring the Further Readings section so that it's more of a concise bullet list and it's easier to go through. (Amunizr1 (talk) 16:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Peer Review! 

message: Great job! I agree with the above sugestions I think the structure could be changed to match the usual structure of doctors' pages. Having a biography section and then subsections with time frames would be helpful. Also adding sub sections to the Contributions to psychology section and expanding in those sections would be great because he had many impacts on psychology that are relevant and should be included.

thread_title: Peer Review

message: Great job on this article! I particularly love the extensive further reading; this would make an excellent base camp for someone trying to put together a lot of information on Meyer. One suggestion I have (it's small) would be to change the Legacy order. His contributions to psychology, I would argue, are far more important than "People" and I just think it might look and flow better if you switched that order. Also, "Time in New York" seems a bit informal; maybe "New York" would sound better? Also, it would be pretty cool if you could find out some of his students, since you mention that many of them went on to big things. If you do find some, Students is also a frequent section on Wikipedia infoboxes. Again, great job. Aneekpatel (talk) 21:36, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

message: This article's appearance makes it much more authentic when reading. The pictures add additional information that can be used to gain a better understanding of everything Meyer has done in his career. Nice touch! A few extra highlighted links to things such as the Pathological Institute of the New York state Hospital System would allow readers to go even further into detail on Meyer's career.

thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: Good work! There is a lot of solid information in this article. At first glance, this article seems text heavy→add another picture or cut down the Contributions to psychology section. Also there are some other paragraphs that could be either split into two paragraphs or cut down for an easier read. Overall, this article looks very promising! Cduke15 (talk) 03:26, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: The most noticeable part that can be easily fixed is the initial intro paragraph. It is a little short and I think that is one of the most important parts about a wikipedia page. Adding some more information to that would make this article much better. Great Work !128.220.159.83 (talk) 03:35, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

message: This sentence is unreferenced: "nable to secure an appointment with the university, he emigrated to the United States in 1892. ".
Is he the same author of the PhD dissertation titled Wesen und Geschichte der Theorie vom Mikro- und Makro-kosmos () and published in Bern in 1900?? 
The Austrian psychiatrist Rudolf Allers gave an account about the very low academic quality of his doctoral dissertation (). He attributed to Nicolaus Cusanus and Paracelsus the coin of the word macrocosmus, and ignored the homonimous threaty written by Godfrey of Saint Victor four centuries before, which was unedited until 1944, but whose existence was otherwise known. An interest for the macrocosmus would also be relevant in order to corroborate the affiliation of Meyer to the Satanist Freemasonry since his youth.Theologian81sp (talk) 09:35, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a different Adolf Meyer. This one received his doctorate (MD, not PhD) in 1892, in Zürich, and his thesis was on the forebrain of reptiles. --bonadea contributions talk 15:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
