COI tag[edit]

The editing history of the creator of this page and certain other contributing editors suggest a possible conflict of interest, as does some of the peacock language chosen by them (and an IP's removal just now of this COI tag).--Epeefleche (talk) 19:34, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up this page, using objective information I could find out about Dr. Kaufman online.--philosophy357 (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that it's not clear whether he is a psychologist or merely a professor of psychology. Most jurisdictions restrict the title "psychologist" to those who are licensed to practice in the mental health care arena. Does he have a license? Mirafra (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2013 (UTC)mirafra[reply]

Article appears to be being used for promotional purposes[edit]

There have been three editors who have all their edit history or the great majority of their edit history being additions of material to this page. They are:

SeptimusCoverly (created the article)

Cogscience

Cognition Seeker

So I have my doubts whether these are three independent editors and whether they are adhering to Wikipedia guidelines.

Anyway, I have just done a cleanup to remove the more obviously promotional material. Let's hope it doesn't come creeping back in. Oska (talk) 02:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Family history[edit]

Another edit by Cognition Seeker, despite warning[edit]

Bonus prize: Manages to misspell University of Pennsylvania.

I'll leave it for the next editor to decide whether to walk this addition back. — MaxEnt 17:27, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
