Editing for Psych

I thought it was a good article, but maybe change the format of the page. It looked too much like a paper instead of a wikipedia page. Separate the different parts of the article with Headings.JMC554466 (talk) 13:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC) Bibliography[reply]

I plan to expand this article in a couple of ways. First of all, the mental and emotional effects of laughter itself should be stated. This might bring some insight into nervous laughter specifically. Actual examples of nervous laughter should also be included so that it can be more easily recognized. I would like to add some information about managing nervous laughter as well. Most of this will be backed up with the references listed above. --Kristinafreund talk —Preceding undated comment added 03:18, 13 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Good job expanding the article! You had a lot of good facts and examples to inform the audience. One suggestion I have is to break the article up into different sections. I think by doing that the article will be more reader friendly. You successfully expanded the article following what you had originally planned to do. EYarde1 (talk) 00:00, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

references.

One thing I definately see that you need to do is add some references and make sure they are cited well. I also would like to see you break of into some headlines ... possibly things such as Healthy laughter.. laughter that effects your throat... things like that to make it seem as if im not reading one big paragraph --Falconhockey26 (talk) 00:51, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AFTER READING AND LOOKING AGAIN YOU DO HAVE REFERENCES IT WAS JUST HARD TO SEE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE WHERE IT SAYS REFERENCES.... SO MY MISTAKE BUT DEFINITELY MAKE HEADLINES. --Falconhockey26 (talk) 00:52, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall a good article, I like the example from the book. Its seems like you might have had trouble with the citations but keep up the good work. Jlloyd1122 (talk) 19:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
