[edit] Did you read the internet addiction paper?
To try and predict problematic Internet use in the workplace, Davis and colleagues designed the Online Cognition Scale to screen for possible Internet-related problems. They found that traits of decreased impulse control and procrastination appear to predict troublesome Internet use, and that in turn, high scores on their Scale predicted reprimands for Internet abuse.
Do you have access to that paper? If you do, you should have used CTRL-F to find this reference to procrastination in the paper. I'm going to revert you. ImpIn | (t - c) 01:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- When you cite an article, you must enter information from this article inro wikiepdia, not just applend a paper reference to an existing paragraph. Wor example, are you seriously claiming that the journal article in question wrote "...or browsing and editing online encyclopedia articles (Wikipedia addiction)." ?

The paper supported the general conclusions of that paragraph. Sure, it could have used some minor editing, but not a wholesale deleting. There's no such "must" on Wikipedia -- if I find a paper that generally supports statements in the encyclopedia, that's fine. ImpIn | (t - c) 03:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
