" While standard medicine (see "Treatment Paradigm"), typically treats injuries, disabilities, and symptoms, " There is no section in this article called "Treatment Paradigm," so it appears from the internal evidence that this paragraph at least has been copied from an outside source.

Hi DGG ( talk ) - sorry, I just noticed this post. Here, I think what may have happened is that content that was previously included in the John Travis article was moved into its own space. The wording would have related to content that was mentioned earlier in the original John Travis article. But when the Illness-Wellness Continuum text appeared in its own space, the writing wasn't corrected, so it ended up referring to something that wasn't actually in the article. I can rewrite this though -Fbell74 (talk) 09:35, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

• Other comments: "echoes the views of the WHO" is taken from a non authoritative textbook. And what does it mean? That this copied the view previous expresses, that they copied it from Travis, that that the both said more or less the same thing. I think that phrase has to go, everywhere it is found. This is an attempt at notability from having the same vague idea.

Book citations: I can not tell if these arej ust mentions. I think we need exact page ranges,. DGG ( talk ) 13:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

In that example I was saying that both WHO and Travis were in agreement about wellness. The source was to support this. This is a link to the page where it's mentioned. I'll have a go at addressing the 'echoes the views of' type content (as well as finding the page ranges Fbell74 (talk) 06:44, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

And the views expressed in various WHO documents are in accord with the views of millions of other people also. Do we include in the bio of every notable physician thattheir viewsarethe same as the WHO? This is pure puffery., whatever the source. DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

When I originally included this it was from the perspective that wellness might be considered outside the mainstream, so including support from the WHO was to support its acceptance as a concept by established organisations. But, I've taken out these mentions now. Fbell74 (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
