I thought about adding the following sections - comments?

Journals

Subsystems (Sections, Divisions, Special Groups)

Presidents?

Something about the HPC?

Any other ideas?

Hi there, I had just read this article myself, and as with you, thought that something better be added on the Society sub-systems. This could clarify how "Divisions" and "Sections" are to be distinguished. ACEO 19:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I think more precision could be used to enter the number of members of the BPS, including the number of members who are Chartered Psychologists. Does any one have data on these?ACEO 18:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I presume that a lot of people who read this will themselves be in the British Psychological Society. They may like to know that they can now add themselves to the category of "Wikipedians in the British Psychological Society" (I have for some time been the sole member of this category!)

[edit] Comparing it with the article on the American Psychological Association

I shall be quite honest and state that, despite being based in the United Kingdom, I find the Wikipedia article on the American Psychological Association better than this one. Does any one have any comments? I certainly think it is better presented. ACEOREVIVED 19:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Accurate information on initials must go in article

I was very concerned to see this article making the totally unsourced and dubious claim that members of the BPS can write "MBPS" after their names. To do so would actually be considered a serious offense by the BPS, as it would give the misleading impression that one needed more than a Psychology degree to gain graduate status of the BPS. I have now inserted more accurate information, on how chartered psychologists can write "C. Psychol." after their names. ACEOREVIVED 19:25, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User category for discussion (delete)

There's currently a discussion going on at UCFD, that could use some input from those knowledgeable about this society. Whether you think the category is useful or not, I encourage you to contribute to the conversation. Ben Hocking (talk|contribs) 20:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?

how come "MBPS" redirects here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.19.14.39 (talk) 05:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
