Refs

We need page numbers for books. Also try to use sources from the last 5 to 10 years. And read this for formating WP:MEDHOW Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:42, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Copy and pasting from sources

In this edit you added:

"(1) bodies tell stories about-and cannot be studied divorced from--the conditions of our existence; (2) bodies tell stories that often--but not always--match people's stated accounts; and (3) bodies tell stories that people cannot or will not tell, either because they are unable, forbidden, or choose not to tell. Just as the proverbial "dead man's bones" do in fact tell tales, via forensic pathology and historical anthropometry, so too do our living bodies tell stories about our lives, whether or not these are ever consciously expressed."

"For example, not only is there a clear need for improved access to care for women experiencing PPD, but there is evidence that available PPD care is not equally reachable by all. Women who are minorities, impoverished, and living in urban areas have more difficulty getting the care that is preferred as well as the care that is needed. More attention needs to be given to the services women experiencing PPD need and to the services that are available in order to proactively address this globally emerging mental health care issue. In a recent study measuring the access to care between Caucasian and African American women, more Caucasians received spiritual assistance than did minorities"

• By the way the policy for which the block occurred is this one WP:COPYVIO

If you are still interested in editing we can unblock you. I just need you to show me a couple of things

1) Find a high quality source WP:MEDRS

2) Summarize that source, see WP:COPYVIO

3) Properly add the ref to support it WP:MEDHOW

Okay thank you, I'd really like to be unblocked and I am currently working on revising one of the plagiarized posts so that they meet the guidelines. Then I will post them on my talk and if you have time and do not mind, please take a look at them so that I know that I am on the right track.

Best, Esth270
