Much of the article lacks references. This makes it difficult to verify the content, and also makes it difficult for me to check whether the new text is plagiarized. Also, the tone of the article sounds very promotional, especially when discussing the Gestalt International Study Center. Finally, the hook is not very interesting or eye-catching. rʨanaɢ (talk) 21:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This expansion was for a class, which has now ended. Nominator may not be looking here. . . . and there was extensive plagiarism, which was the cause of the promotional tone. Hook fact is well supported. Yngvadottir (talk) 05:58, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
