Good start, not quite what I was expecting - assignment incomplete

Maybe I should have been clearer, but I was expecting each member of the group to contribute to every section. As it is, it looks like Laura did refs, Markelle did the outline, and Karlee made the to-do list. That's okay, because each section is good. You should all feel free to add to any of these sections. However, what you didn't do is have each member give a commitment to do specific tasks for the article.J.R. Council (talk) 22:04, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• Also, Markelle, you should learn to make proper lists. I have corrected the outline with Wikipedia markup. Note that Wikipedia does numbered or bulleted lists, not letters. Type MOS:LIST in the search box for help. J.R. Council (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Need to get this page straightened out

Karlee - somehow you have given yourself the username, karlee.beavens/sandbox. This is not really your sandbox, it is your User talk page. I have asked one of the Wiki Ed editors to straighten this out. In the meantime, I will answer your group's questions here. J.R. Council (talk) 06:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

1. There wasn’t much in the talk page about the paper. I think this Wikipedia could use a picture of him, and lots more information. Such as what his greatest accomplishments were. 2. “ Kurt Goldstein” ling.fju.edu.tw. retrieved 27 February 2015 “Kurt Goldstein and Holism” gestaltpsychotherapie.de retrieved 26 february 2015

3. Dr. Council can we add pictures? Can we talk about his major accomplishments? Markelle.axtman (talk) 17:05, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• Yes to both. I have posted instructions on how to add pictures in Blackboard/Wikipedia resources. Pictures have to be in the public domain. Try looking in Wikimedia Commons for starters. Yes - you should definitely discuss his major accomplishments, especially contributions to psychology. J.R. Council (talk) 06:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

One thing this article needs is pictures or graphics.

2 sources I found that aren't in this article are:

Ludwig, David. Language and human nature: Kurt Goldstein's neurolinguistic foundation of a holistic philosophy. Journal of the History of Behavioral Science. Vol 48(1), 2012, pp. 40-54.

Eling, Paul. Neurognostics Answer. Journal of the History of the Neurosciences. Vol 21(1), 2012, pp. 119-125.

2 questions/ comments I have for the professor are:

How many sections do you think we should try to have in this article? Can the biography section be split up into smaller sections, like childhood, years, etc.?

• Splitting an article into sections makes it a lot easier to follow, and automatically generates a table of contents. It's up to you how many sections to include - go with what makes the most sense. You can put subsections in the biography section. See the material on editing I've made available. J.R. Council (talk) 06:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Problem or issue with article: There is no background information on Goldstein or his family. The little information that is there should be elaborated

Two references:

Pickren, W. E. (2003). Kurt Goldstein: Clinician and philosopher of human nature. In G. A. Kimble, M. Wertheimer, G. A. Kimble, M. Wertheimer (Eds.), Portraits of pioneers in psychology, Vol. V (pp. 127-140). Washington, DC, US; Mahwah, NJ, US: American Psychological Association

Goldstein, G. (1990). Contributions of Kurt Goldstein to neuropsychology. Clinical Neuropsychologist, 4(1), 3-17. doi: 10.1080/13854049008401492

Two Questions:

1. What would be an example of “too much” information about a person? Page lengthwise?

• You don't want to make this like an essay or term paper. It should be "encyclopedic." See the material I've made available to the class. Make it long enough to get the important information across.

2. Do you have any suggestions on what to mention that would be important, from what you know about him?

• The material in the textbook would be good for starters. Also, the article by Pickren in Portraits of pioneers would have the right information. J.R. Council (talk) 06:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

You need to start working on this.

Laura, Markelle, and Karlee - this assignment is worth 25 points. It does require some effort, so you need to start working on it now. J.R. Council (talk) 22:48, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Edits for Assignment #7

When Goldstein moved to the United States, he had many academic positions at a few well known universities. He was professor of neurology at Columbia from 1936 to 1940. From 1940 to 1945 he had a position at Tufts in Boston with a neuropsychiatry practice. From 1950 to 1955 he lectured at City University of New York. When he was in his late seventies, he still taught courses at Brandeis University. At the end of his life/career, his wife committed suicide after a long illness. He died in 1965 after a fall that resulted in aphasia. Aphasia was a condition that he researched for a number of years. Karlee.beavens (talk) 02:06, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Some topics that Goldstein explored included the following: motor disturbances, sensory disturbances, the nature of hallucinations, alcoholism, manic-depressive states and schizophrenia. Karlee.beavens (talk) 02:27, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
