  - Rojek's criticism doesn't appear to hold water as human labor continues to be displaced by machines and automation

Addressing peer review

This peer review discussion has been closed.
Hi. I'm trying to get this article ready for GA, but I'm only about halfway there. I could definitely use some constructive criticism for guidance. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 20:25, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have a couple of suggestions, but it's not at all exhaustive:

File:John Neulinger c. 1989.png probably doesn't have an adequate fair use rationale. That there is no free image of Neulinger is not a fair use rationale.
"was a noted German-American psychologist" - remove noted, if he wasn't notable, then he would not have an article.
Why was he taken to a concentration camp?

Good question. I looked and couldn't find the answer. I'll keep looking. Viriditas (talk) 04:00, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the answer is known, and even the NYT obituary didn't explore it. I'm going to consider this a closed question unless it comes up again. Viriditas (talk) 01:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done for now because there is nothing that can be added. Viriditas (talk) 04:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"1964-1965" - ndash?

Done. Viriditas (talk) 04:06, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"In the late 1960s, Neulinger and Miranda Breit were one of the first leisure researchers to use attitudinal data instead of participation data to define activity clusters." this should be expanded, and does contain a bit of unwiki-linked jargon. If possible to replace the jargon then do it.
- I thin that is the most simplified version, but I will see if I can explain it a bit. Viriditas (talk) 04:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Is it normal to publish such a large list of publications? May be good to add a paragraph introducing the bibliography. Where was the list obtained from?
- Yes it is normal, but there are many different formats available for editors. I believe my chosen format must have confused you, so I will look into standardizing it. Also, I don't think this list is very large. Since I wrote the article some time ago, I'm not sure where the "list" was obtained from, but I reviewed all of the publications myself, so one could argue I created it. I'm not sure why you asked that question. Viriditas (talk) 04:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what the MoS says, but with dates in the references, would it be better to state the month and day explicitly rather than say "2009-03-05" have March 05, 2009 or June 03, 2009 (depending on what style dates you use).

Yeah, I need to fix that. Viriditas (talk) 04:09, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at this right now. Viriditas (talk) 04:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In progress. Viriditas (talk) 04:16, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having redlinked see also material seems pointless to me.

In this case, the person is notable and needs an article. I'll try and solve that problem. Viriditas (talk) 04:15, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In progress. Viriditas (talk) 04:09, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

" Nevertheless, Neulinger's theory exerted considerable influence on the social theory of leisure, and perceived freedom is still a popular concept in leisure studies.[9]" - are there examples of how this theory exerted influence?
Other than that, the article could do with a little expansion in most areas.

In progress... Viriditas (talk) 04:15, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hope these points help - Shudde ^talk 07:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They do, very much. I can see I have my work cut out for me! Viriditas (talk) 04:09, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
