Trust (social sciences)

Hi, I have added content on the "Trust" but you deleted it because you think it is too complex. I just want to know if you can give me more details about your analysis to change it. And for my english level, I am trying my best but I am not fluent english, I am from french but I will try to fixe it. 131.94.186.34 (talk) 23:14, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

There were a number of problems with your edits. One is the use of fairly complex scientific terms that we should avoid if at all possible (but to be honest, the section was pretty bad and had many of such terms before you edited as well).

A second problem is that you added a lot of very detailed information about relatively small studies. While that would be relevant for a scientific paper literature review (secondary use of data), for Wikipedia it is important to use generally accepted view on a fairly high level of aggregation (tertiary use of data).

Finally, you made a lot of edits in one go (although you kindly announced them on talk before). The risk of such a series of major changes in one go is that someone (in this case me), looks at it and decides that altogether it did not really improve the article, but that improving it all to meet quality standards is just too much work (in one go). It is sometimes better to make smaller edits (which you do not need to announce on talk), and wait what happens than try to do everything at once. That said, you did post a proposal on talk well in advance of the actual edits, and nobody responded. So the community did not help you either. Arnoutf (talk) 09:49, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Removal of DC

Your recent removal of the Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the lede at 'Doctor' here seems to represent a POV? You removed DC "because it is only awarded in a few countries", yet left DPT and PharmD in the lede, which are only found in the US? I would say remove all non-international degrees, or leave them all, but to selectively remove 1 example seems like the reason is not consistent with the edit summary you left.75.152.109.249 (talk) 16:23, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
