Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for contributing Charles Macfie Campbell. It's a good start, but I'm afraid it is rather promotional of its subject. Wikipedia presents information in a neutral point of view and avoids promotional phrases, especially when those phrases aren't backed by references to third-party reliable sources. I would encourage you to add footnotes to the article to identify where each piece of information comes from. Simple instructions are at WP:REFB. With references, you can say something like, "John Smith, Chair of the Such and Such organization for Important Scientific Research, described Campbell as 'one of the five most powerful men in American psychiatry in the 1920s'" because that then comes from a notable source. But Wikipedia on its own can't just call someone one of the most powerful or influential people. Thanks. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything, and again, welcome! Zachlipton (talk) 20:40, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
