Stephen V. Cameron

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to solicit advice from the community on how to take this article to the next level. Specifically, I have the following questions:

1. My goal is to bring the article eventually to Good Article or Featured Article status. What are immediate next steps in this direction? What are the most obvious ways the article can be improved with this goal in mind? Are there any Wikipedia community resources (e.g., Wikiprojects) that might be able to assist improving article quality
2. Are there any other Wikiprojects or lists that this article should be added to?
3. Should this article reference any additional Wikipedia articles, or should any additional Wikipedia articles link this article?
4. Is anyone aware of additional sources for citations that would be helpful to include?
5. Should any external links be added to the article? (Perhaps some currently used as citations?) If so, which ones?
6. What parts of the article or topics need clarification or expansion?
7. General comments about article quality?
8. General assessment of article quality.
9. Any other suggestions

I thank you for the work about Stephen V. Cameron... I think that sending it for Review is an excellent idea.

• First Steps: The first steps you should do is to cite the Economic Family of this excellent scientist, to write about his childhood and education and how he could begin his researches... If he was interviewed or he had said something important about his life and his studies, try to quote this as well. You can also cite his publications in famous journals like Journal of Economic Literature and Journal of Political Economy...
• Possible Projects: Many projects are meant by the work. United States, Education, Science and Economics are important examples for that.
• Possible Sources: His Biography on the Columbia University Official Website and his works that can be retrieved using Google Scholar can be important for this.
• External links: the link of his Economic Family, James Heckman...
• Work Review: I think that all the parts of the work need expansion because this work does not give enough information about this important scientist. It does not give for example whether the scientist had interested only in Education Outcomes or he had interested in other issues. The work does not give the comments of the scientists about Keynesianism, GET and other main and important Economic Matters. This work does not give even the precise date of birth of this important scientist. His relationship with his wife who is scientist is important and can give more importance to the work... So, there are many facts that can be expanded... But, I think that you should begin with the most important facts: His scientific Research, his books, his prizes, his ideas... and then, you can expand other facts: his childhood, his relationships, his children, his passions... However, if you found some information about the relationships of Cameron, you can include them.
• His affiliations: You can also some information about his coauthors, his affiliations in organizations, his contribution to the main projects of his institution...
• Practice of his works: You can also add whether his works had been used in doing some adjustments to US policy in his field of interest. Reporting some successes of his ideas can give a more clear overview about the quality of his researches.
• Researches based on his scientific performance: You can include whether other researchers had developed their researches using the main ones he had done. This can give a better idea about whether the researches of Cameron influenced other scientists or not
• Quotes about Stephen Cameron: You can also add whether some scientists had said some important comments about Cameron and his works. You can write whether Cameron had been known for a funny action, for a given custom...

Yours Sincerely,

The article is progressing nicely. My suggestions would be as follows:

• The article is a little short. Maybe after the lede there could be Biography and Publications sections. A list of his most notable publications would be good, maybe text cited more than a hundred times. Refs are (some already included) google scholar, National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and Amazon.

• A mention of the publishers of his work would be good, including NBER.

• Reference style. In my opinion references are fine at the end of the sentence, unless there is a need to differentiate between what is and is not referenced. Additionally, a couple of references is fine, no need to use five to prove one point. Also, in case you didn't know you can use list defined references, I prefer these as only the reference name is required in the body of the text - making it easier to read (if your using wiki code to edit).

Hope that is of some use to you. Jonpatterns (talk) 09:40, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
