sandbox
Well done for developing your article outside the (Main) namespace. This can save you a lot of problems from new page patrollers. But please use User:Zhumaf/sandbox and not your talk page.
If you start an article on a wrong title, use a move command to correct the error. Do not just leave the old title for others to clean up.
Despite your use of a sandbox, this NP patroller is still worried about Action Research for Personal, Group, and Organizational Development and 27 types of Action Inquiry. These articles feel to me like original research. Please make sure that they have good external references to establish that the ideas are accepted among the social science community. -- RHaworth 18:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
RHaworth, Thanks for your comments on my talk. The content of Action Research for Personal, Group, and Organizational Development is definitely not an original rsearch. Those methods have been developed over 40 years and it originates from psychology research of human behaviors. Now this research has been extended into group, and organizational behaviors. They are widely used in Executive Coach, and in Organization Change consulting. The most recent publishing of one of above theory (Action Inquiry) I am familiar is the "Seven Transformations of Leadership" by Rooke and Torbert on Harvard Business Review, April 2005.
I think the title may be misleading because I was tring to make all those three methods together. I take your point of this and think to split into three papes with a clear title like: Action Science, Cooperative Inquiry and Action Inquiry, which is also more parallel to the existing Action Research method pages in wiki (Participatory Action Research, Appreciative Inquiry Research). I will make the first two a stub so other people will be more willing to add in. I am more familiar with Action Inquiry. I may be able to summerize it even better.
Regarding the 27 types of Action Inquiry is a summery of detailed methods. I will think of more about how to write it. And thank you very much for your help. Zhumaf 00:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
wikify
You have twice removed {{wikify}} from Action Research for Personal, Group, and Organizational Development. It is OK if you are not willing to do the job, but leave the tag there to invite others to wikify it for you. -- RHaworth 09:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
