Inadequate sources

I have just commented in your recent insertion of sources: they are all primary sources and therefore NOT adequate. For further clarification see the talk page of the Cross-race effect. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 16:45, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments

You have found great sources that can greatly improve the article. As a minor comment on citation templates: As I posted in your class project it is easier both for you (since it is automatic) and readers (since it gives a direct link to the abstract of the article) to format citations using the doi(digital object indentifier) of an article.

Take for example the last reference you added:

I suppose you handcoded it manually. On the other hand you can instead take its doi (it appears in the top right-hand side of the pdf article) and copy it (10.1037//1076-8971.7.1.230). Then while editing go to the editing toolbar (top of editing box), click cite, click templates, click cite journal and insert the number 10.1037//1076-8971.7.1.230 where it says doi and click the lens botton and then insert. It gives you automatically all data on a citation.

Another minor comment: accessdate is not usually included in journal articles since you are citing a true article related to a doi and journal and not to a web page that may dissapear.

I have taken the liberty of changing your citation of the above article in the talk page of the article so you have it as an example.

Best regards and keep the good work.--Garrondo (talk) 08:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

More comments

An unidentified user has deleted the paragraph in the talk page with the dissertation reference. I presume it was you and you had forgotten to log in. It is important to always log in and sign your comments in talk pages so it is clear who has done each edition.

On a side note: I have posted several messages in this talk page and in the article talk page directed to you but you have never answered them directly. Some sort of interaction would be most welcomed so I my know that my efforts are not useless. Feedback it is one of the most important things in wikipedia and makes editing much more enjoyable.

Copyright problems in cross-race effect

While trying to read the article and do some clean up as a previous stage to given some output to students the tone of the social effects section made ring some alert bells. I pasted full paragraphs into google and every time the search gave me as the second result the cited article. Full sentences have been copied from it, and at most slightly refractored. This is a clear copyright infrigement, and I have precuatiously eliminated all content from the Young reference. I would recommend you talked with your teacher on how to procceed since this is clearly not a minor issue.--Garrondo (talk) 21:37, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
