[edit] Barnstar

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For dedication to improving and expanding Wikipedia. Good job! Sharkface217 02:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for finding where my articles were going

I copied a couple of short paragraphs from another site, put the content in quotes, indented it, and led with a sentence saying, "The following information was located on the web site for the University of..." It would certainly fall within the contraints of "fair usage" outside of Wikipedia!

I had no idea that would result in having the article deleted. I was just trying to create a stubb after looking the names up on Google. I'd like to convert more of the 'red' entries, but I find it tedious to do more than a copy-paste stubb when it's an entry I have no any real interest in. Thanks for tracking that down for me.

[edit] Ph.D. for categorization as psychologists

I am a bit worried about the implications of the remark that you made at talk:Steven Hassan regarding the fact that the APA said that only people with a Ph.D. should be labelled as psychologists. This is unusual in the Netherlands and I do not think this should be applied for Dutch psychologists in the English language Wikipedia. The jurisdiction of the APA does not apply for the Netherlands as far as I know, nor is this an American encyclopedia. Nevertheless, it would be strange if Dutch people without a Ph.D. would be labelled as pscychologists, while Americans would not. There is not a concrete case yet that I have in mind, so you may disregard this remark as academic. Andries 22:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I made the same comment at Category_talk:Psychologists. Andries 23:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I've responded there also. -DoctorW 04:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Joyce Brothers.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Joyce Brothers.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 13:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apology in regards to List of cult and new religious movement researchers

DoctorW,

I apologize to you for my response to your recent edits on List of cult and new religious movement researchers. What I should have done is to follow WP:BRD and invited you to discuss on the Talk page rather than rebuking you for making the change "unilaterally". That was improper of me. Tanaats 02:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for bringing some common sense and NPOV to these articles. It is a daily chore to keep these articles neutral and having another pair of eyes on these is great. Happy New Year. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Developmental psychology forum

I thought that you might be interested to know that there is a developmental psychology forum over at the Psychology Wiki. It was set up a little more than a month ago but still hasn't been used yet. I'll inform other Wikipedians who I think may be interested, as well. EPM 00:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Citizen Kane.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Citizen Kane.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

[edit] Positive Coaching

You can find the text of the article at the above link. If you decide to recreate in mainspace, please let me know because I will need to restore the history for GFDL purposes. Cheers. Spartaz Humbug! 05:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meaning of life

There's a bunch more stuff that was commented out, including in the philosophy section. Note that according to WP:VER, any editor can challenge any material, and remove it if others fail to provide citations - it'll take weeks to find citations for all that material. I opposed the removal, but had to go along with policy. The material was commented out pending the addition of citations, which I've been hunting down sporadically. See the talk page.

[edit] C.B. Ferster

Why did you remove Charles Ferster from the seminal writers category? Schedules of Reinforcement (1957), which he co-authored with B.F. Skinner, was cited nearly 1200 times in the literature by 1979 and is considered by most behavioral psychologists to be a major milestone work in the field.

That work alone -- leaving aside Ferster's other two books and some 90 journal articles -- warrants inclusion on the list.

[edit] Learned helplessness

It should also be mentioned in this article that Steve Maier (now a Univ of Colorado prof) co-discovered learned helplessness with Seligman when they were grad students together at Penn but never published a general audience book to boost his name recognition.

Original citation:

J Exp Psychol. 1967 May;74(1):1-9.

[edit] Re: Peer-review journals

This information is all ready on the site linked. Remove the external link, remove the list of journals, or integrate all the information in to the page. -- Craigtalbert (talk) 05:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I will respond to your orders in what seems like the much more appropriate place, on the article's talk page, where you have left no comment. -DoctorW 17:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] List of cult and new religious movement researchers

May be you can explain the definition and criteria for inclusion and also try to assess in advance whether these criteria can yield a maintainable, verifiable, informative list. I think that we have different definitions of the concepts "resarch"" and "empirical studies". Andries (talk) 20:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated the list for deletion because the combination of strict inclusing criteria on which you insisted and the strict sourcing criteria yields an empty list i.e. a list without properly sourced entries. Andries (talk) 12:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rfc for Community Psychology article

Craigtalbert has initiated an RfC on the Community Psychology talk page. A further comment from you on this subject might be in order. Sunray (talk) 02:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Citizen Kane.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Citizen Kane.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reactive attachment disorder

Hi. I've put this article up for FAC. I then discovered I had to find reviewers! I note you have an interest in development. Would you mind awfully casting your eye over it. Its a bit of an obscure subject and there's already alot of off-topic rambling on the comments page but I would welcome some input from clinicians or academics in the field. Here's the comments page.[1] Thanks. Fainites barley 22:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: "Broaden and Build Model" article

Hi! I never deleted that page, but tracked down the deleted history here. Since it was deleted because it was a copyright violation, I've emailed you the content. Regards, east.718 at 17:21, March 25, 2008
