copyright violation/plagarism concern[edit]

Please see this issue, and correct / respond ASAP. Thank you. Mjtagler (talk) 00:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A little light peer review[edit]

Hello,

  • Starting an article from scratch is quite hard (harder than building on one that somebody else started). It's off to a relatively good start.
  • Overall, I think the article has a good structure but there are some empty sections - are you planning to put some content in these? Setting out with an obvious framework for the article's structure is a Good Thing, but the downside is that whilst it's under construction, big gaps are visible.
  • However, copyright violation can be a serious problem. Parts of it seem to be identical to other content on the internet ([1]). That must be fixed.
  • Nice choice of sources, and references have been used well. It wouldn't hurt to find some more sources, of course - to help cover more ground because at the moment it's quite tightly focussed on Wiesen and Barron's.
  • Prose addressed to "you" is not ideal. It's only a trivial thing but with a little rephrasing, it would read more like an encyclopaedia article and less like an instruction manual.
  • Otherwise, the text is easy to read and neutral; spelling, grammar, and layout are good.
  • It's a little surprising to read that tests are made more gender-neutral by including things that women understand, like kitchen implements. It's probably not a problem but it does have a slightly worrying undertone. Does Murchinsky really say that? (Possibly in reference to some older study)

BSU Team[edit]

Obviously, the background and uses sections must be completed. What is the hold up here? Article history shows me edits only from 2 of the 3 team members. Mjtagler (talk) 17:42, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Type of Tests Edit[edit]

Hi Wiki-editors,

I'm a student in an I/O Psychology course at CUNY York College as part of an assignment, editing articles on wikipedia is required. Here is a link of the information I will place on the article.

So what do you think, I would like get some feedback.

Thanks,
