April 2017

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that in this edit to Goat Yoga, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Stating that something has medical benefits

Please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). A Yoga journal is not a reliable source for claiming medical benefits and Goat yoga should not make such claims. Please remove that.

Also, see no original research. The article makes an implied link between goat yoga and the known health benefits of pets. But that's an editorial interpretation and we don't allow that. So, that whole section that you replaced really needs to be removed again, ideally by you. I mentioned this section at WP:FTN earlier. I'm pretty sure someone else will remove it, but it would be better if you did. This isn't criticism of you, there's a steep learning curve here and we've all made similar errors in the past. Please carry on your good work but with greater knowledge of our guidelines and policies. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:05, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
