[edit] Is this a cut and paste?

Found almost exact text here [1] Is that wiki-kosher? 96.10.21.82 (talk) 14:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this not on a page about Robber Cave

The Robber Cave experiment was recently featured on DamnedInteresting along with a link back here, and as such, may see increased visits. This article comes to very different conclusions than the Wikipedia entry, and they should probably both be considered carefully. Reader beware! http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=595

lots of material, e.g. http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psychology/social/sherif_robbers_cave_experiment.html

This content is almost entirely about Robber Cave - and hardly anything on the Muzafer Sherif himself. This should be moved to a new page for Robber Cave and this page should be more biographical information.--Ryan Gardner 05:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

Currently searches for info about the Robber's Cave study redirect here. God willing we'll eventually have a stand-alone bio for Sherif and introduce a seperate article about the study. Avraham 04:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of death

The Date of death was inserted two times, with the cause of death given in the second example. I think the cause of death is irrelevant to most biographical articles as long as it is not a special, unusual death (e.g. asassination), and we are, in fact, not giving this information in other biographical articles. Therefore, I removed the last paragraph. 84.168.55.52 17:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry, meant age at time of death. 84.168.55.52 17:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] None of the boys were previously acquainted

According to the original report, none of the boys were previously acquainted before the experiment.
