Title should use a hyphen, not an n-dash

The title of this article should be hyphenated (with -), rather than using an n-dash (–). While I appreciate that someone out there knows there's more than one dash-like character, they used the wrong one. This makes the URL really ugly for some people, and is unlikely to be typed correctly by users looking for this article.

To many users, this appears in the URL as %E2%80%93 instead of –. This just came up in a talk about what not to do on your websites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.241.200.248 (talk) 23:06, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NDASH. Dunning-Kruger effect (with a hyphen) properly links here. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Religious Knowledge

I added religious knowledge to the historical section. Sorry about all the intermediate changes. They were for spelling mistakes and typos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C2:4001:E302:807F:AD1F:FF3:A2F (talk) 22:29, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your addition as it seems to be original research. No reliable source was cited to show that your examples were regarded by anybody else as examples of the Dunning–Kruger effect. William Avery (talk) 22:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

congratulations

My writing is unusual, please welcome the TomRiddle in a spirit of good humour, even though the consideration is extremely serious.

"A follow-up study, reported in the same paper, suggests that grossly incompetent students improved their ability to estimate their rank after minimal tutoring in the skills they had previously lacked, regardless of the negligible improvement in actual skills.[1]"

This is where I heard about the study, it was used in a mean way https://news.vice.com/article/no-volcanoes-are-not-the-primary-cause-for-the-melting-ice-caps

The modern challenge seems to me to embody within the different fields of human endevour the "follow up study" however in a paradigm of power-with, the sheer understanding of nature-wholeness in whatever context, not the power-over of an objectively considered ranking that is usually-used to make winners and losers, not so much point out the difference.

"A study showed You can only understand for Yourself if I first explain..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.124.17.85 (talk) 13:12, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia itself?

Why is there no mention of this site in this article? This whole site is the result of the Dunning–Kruger effect!! The encyclopedia that anybody (ie deranged basement dweller with a POV to make) can edit! Can't believe this article does address this elephant in the room. 5.81.1.23 (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Got a reliable source for that? Banedon (talk) 00:46, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody can revert too! Dunning edits, Kruger reverts. ~ juanTamad (talk) 07:29, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend a link to article on Blub

I recommend adding links between the Wikipedia article on Blub and the article on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Blub is a special case and good example of Dunning-Kruger.
