Name of this article should be "K. Anders Ericsson," the name the scholar uses in his publications

[edit]

Similarly, the bibliography entries need to be cleaned up. His name abbreviated with the letter "K." comes before his name "Anders." I'll get to this if no one else does after I learn about the consequences of renaming an article. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 20:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Nuther Editorial Intrusion

[edit]

At the end of the article we come upon one of those pretty little editors' boxes:

Stub icon This biography of an American psychologist is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

I think the article is perfectly adequate for a first rate but not exactly history-changing academic, and wonder whether the editor might be suffering from some sort of obsession or ideological fixation.

Fixed. I've given this biography page a Psychology project rating of high importance, and a quality rating of start class. It is on my watchlist and I can expand it over the next several months. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 15:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Death

[edit]

It seems that Dr. Ericsson may have died yesterday. Does anyone have a reliable source to reference? Without one, the changes may need to be reverted. - Indefensible (talk) 21:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Query

[edit]

On June 17, American psychologist Gordon H. Bower and Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson, the subject of this article both died coincidentally. In the Career section of this article is a line, "in G.H. Bower (Ed.), The psychology of learning and motivation, (Vol. 16). New York: Academic Press)." which looks out of place. Does anyone know if there is a connection or is it a mistake? Editrite! (talk) 10:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
