message: I removed the link to prison farm, as I could find nothing in the article (nor in that of 'prison farm' or 'prison labor') that relates to adventure therapy. Feel free to add it back if you can show why they should be linked together. -- Aaronwinborn 20:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There are sources...but yuck!  So cluttered I can barely read the article!  We need to get to work on making this cited with footnotes,  NOT messy parenthetical documentation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.155.34 (talk) 01:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This entry does not accurately reflect adventure therapy.  It appears to be someone's master's thesis - and unfortunately someone without a great deal of experience in the field.  I would vote for scrapping much of this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr adventure (talk • contribs) 02:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that most of this needs to be scrapped, I think that the article is very informative, though it may need some updated sources as well as maybe updating the wording so a layperson may understand it a bit better. TheRubberDuckQueen (talk) 18:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

The article includes the necessary citations that are from the America Psychological Association (APA) manual of style. It is unclear to me, as the author, where more precise citations are need. If a direct example can be provided on the talk page then we can explore more clearly the issue. (Flyingzen (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I have not seen any adventure therapy programs where the participants are collected from their home with force and in restraints as it often is the case with wilderness therapy programs. However should it be the case I would not oppose the merger Covergaard (talk) 09:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have deemed the merge proposal as failed & removed the tag. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 17:34, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

text: To bring this point up again: Why should this not be merged? I don't understand the arguments in favor of keeping it separate. The article says it is a kind of adventure therapy, then there is some unclear waffling about whether or not it involves behavior modification, and then there is text describing controversies surrounding this subtopic. The editor above said that they don't know of any other form of adventure therapy where people are forcibly removed from their homes, but that would be a justification for making wilderness therapy a subcategory (as it is the form of adventure therapy that involves forcible restraint), rather than simply deleting the topic altogether. I don't see it as an argument against a merge. Besides, my understanding from reading the article is that the restraints and force is not a part of the therapy per se anyway: it is the use of escort companies to get people to the wilderness therapy that involves the force and the restraints. That is a controversial element that might only apply to this subcategory, but the fact remains that this is a subcategory of adventure therapy. ParticipantObserver (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge wilderness therapy here 

message: There may be many sentences on this page lifted directly from http://www.terracentricadventures.com/therapeutic/ or it might be the other way around, of course. I have never dealt with this potential problem before, and I tried to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Plagiarism but I did not make any progress. Using the tool, http://www.copyscape.com/compare.php, there were multiple identical sentences. Since I am unsure of the next steps, unfortunately, I must merely dump the problem here. hunterhogan 14:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

message: This article started out with parenthetical referencing. Now it uses mostly footnotes with a few parentheticals left. I'm willing to harmonize the citations, but we need consensus on which style to follow. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:24, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

message: It seems that the facts in the article were once all valid and backed up by research, but now several are outdated, and many of the links to citations no longer work. It would be valuable to include any new research on the topic and to correct citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Update Sources 

message: An article in the South China Morning Post titled Adventure therapy: how nature is good for mental health and a challenge can help us see ourselves in a new light, shows a group white water rafting.

thread_title: Third Opinion request

message: Hi @User:Bilby, in this edit , you mention a source that cannot be used, and in this one , you mention an instance of copyvio. Could you please explain your reasoning behind each? Thanks. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The copyvio was a direct, word-for-word copy of part of the abstract from the referenced paper. The second was a Masters report, so that it was neither peer reviewed nor at a level we could use, and I was unable to find a means of getting access to it for verifiability. I replaced it with a reference to the paper being discussed. - Bilby (talk) 13:06, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
