Current state of the article's sources

The article seems to be suffering from citation overkill, particularly in the lede and sections like Effects and efficacy of mindfulness practice, which have three or four citations at the end of nearly every sentence. I would like to pair down the citations to no more than two per statement as that's more than enough, but would like input before I go doing that.

Further, the references section(s) at the bottom of the article are a mess. We have a notes section that is more like a quote-heavy reference section than true notes, a references section, and for some reason two additional sections, a printed sources section and a web sources section. Why not list the books and the web sources in with the references? The books are already listed in the references, but instead of just listing them directly in the references section, the reference itself is only a link to the book in another section, instead of just referencing the book directly. A reader shouldn't have to click a reference, find the highlighted reference to then click that referenced book to take them to yet another section just to find the actual reference. It's unnecessarily complicated and the delineation between online and offline sources is equally unnecessary. I would like to simplify the references themselves as well into a single unified references section for simplicity, as the current setup is doing no one any favors. I am aware of WP:CITEVAR so I would like to get a consensus for simplifying the references before taking any action. - Aoidh (talk) 22:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of mindfulness is not supported by the sources

I have changed the first sentence because the references do not support "conceptual reification." There are many forms of mindfulness and we don't get to pick the one we like best. It remains a capacious and muddy term with competing definitions. The lead should reflect that.DolyaIskrina (talk) 18:26, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
