Welcome!

Hello, Jaredgoz, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Feedback

Hi! I have some feedback:

• The first sentence needs to be attributed to the person making the claim, as some may disagree with the statement. Any time you have a claim, it must be attributed as it could be a concept unique to that individual or to only a small amount of people. As such, it's important that only widely accepted and held content be put out without some form of attribution somewhere.

However that said, you also use Psychology today. This is problematic for a few reasons. The first is that Psychology Today blogs aren't really seen as a reliable source on Wikipedia because they aren't always accurate, their editorial oversight has been questioned on more than a few occasions, and they've also drawn from places like Wikipedia and WikiQuote in the past for their work. (Wikipedia isn't a reliable source, so anything that draws heavily from it is questionable.) Now if it was a piece in the magazine itself, then that would potentially be usable depending on what it's sourcing. I wouldn't use it to back up medicine and psychology claims, despite its title. It's just not the strongest possible source, which is important for things in this subject area. Essentially, avoid popular press pieces and blogs in favor of academic and scholarly sources that give an overview of the topic per the training module.

• The second source is essentially a study of sorts, or at least it looks like it is. Be very, very careful with studies. Studies should generally be avoided unless they're accompanied with a secondary source that reviews the study or comments upon the specific claim that is being stated. The reason for this is that studies are primary sources for any of the claims and research conducted by their authors. The publishers don't provide any commentary or in-depth verification, as they only check to ensure that the study doesn't have any glaring errors that would invalidate it immediately. Study findings also tend to be only true for the specific people or subjects that were studied. For example, a person in one area may respond differently than one in an area located on the other side of the country. Socioeconomic factors (be they for the person or a family member) also play a large role, among other things that can impact a response. As such, it's definitely important to find a secondary source, as they can provide this context, verification, and commentary. Aside from that, there's also the issue of why a specific study should be highlighted over another. For example, someone could ask why one study was chosen as opposed to something that studied a similar topic or had different results.

The reason this poses an issue is because it looks like they draw from several studies in order to make their own original claim. This means that as stated in the first point, this could be something that only the authors of the piece hold. You need to have a secondary source to help show where this information is notable enough to highlight in this much depth. Per Google Scholar these pieces cited the journal article, but what you'd have to determine is to what length they cite it and whether they agree with the five factors. This is also something that I would attribute to the people who originally created the list, as this is something that will be pretty subjective even if a large enough portion of academics and scholars agree with them to justify mentioning them.

I hope this all helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Couch (Band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Couch (Band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Couch (Band) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Couch (Band), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
