Sorry. The article started at 20942 prose characters, so a five times expansion is not really possible. If you get the article to GA status, feel free to resubmit within a week of that designation.

: This article is not eligible for DYK, as it has not been expanded 5 fold and it was created in 2003. It was expaneded by Eljia7 about two-fold over the last few days. While your work is greatly appreciated, it would be a Herculean task to expand it to a size large enough to be nominated for DYK in the next few days.

Images and Relevant Information

This is a great topic and a good article. There is a lot of information provided in this. One thing that I think this really needs is some images. It would help break up the blocks of information a bit, because without any breaks, it just feels like a really long block of writing and it looks a bit boring. So if there are some images that can be added, I think it would help. Also, I think that some of the sources used in this article are a bit outdated, a lot of the sources are from the early 2000's and if we can find some more recent articles talking about this topic, it would help a lot.

I agree and think that it really does need some images and new information as much of it is pretty dated. 192.225.188.36 (talk) 00:58, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for Edits

I feel like this article is a great starting point and could use some images and more topics to add some depth to the article. If the article is intended to be for a basic reader, I think there should be some ties or connections to other articles that could help to further research.

Positive psychology impressions

Overall, the composition of the article was professional. I liked how it gave a lead paragraph explaining the major points in positive psychology. It gave me a better idea of what it was all about, and after reading it, I can start asking myself questions. These can include; "When did this study originate?", "Is it supported by modern science? Why or why not?" 2605:7FC0:0:11C:BDFF:BD8A:66EA:1AC0 (talk) 05:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

There are no pictures on this article it makes it look less visually organized. A picture could also help add to the information being presented. VirginiaKAlworth98 (talk) 21:38, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
