Hi Wendy, when linking to articles within Wikipedia, you don't need to use the full URL. You can just put double brackets around the title of the article. Hit edit to see what I below for your article links:

Eccentricity (behavior) <-- might be difficult to find enough psychology-related sources for it, but if you can, go for it

Aggression <-- pretty broad as a topic, but from its Talk page, it looks like there's some work that could be done to it. You'd probably want to focus on one specific section to make your research easier.

Narcissism <-- this one is already "B-class", which is pretty high quality.

Lie <-- too broad

phobia <-- could be good one. Is only "Start-class" right now. But, like Aggression, you'd want to focus on one specific section.

Welcome

Hello, Wmiguel08 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!

Your edits

Hi Wendy! Here comes some feedback on your edits of Social anxiety disorder.

I found your signature on top of the page. We should never sign in articles, only on the talk page.
Could you please add your source to: "Children who have experienced bullying, ridicule, humiliation or rejection are said to be more susceptible to social anxiety, compared to others. Sexual abuse, a family conflict or some other negative experience may also influence."
I removed the study you had put in. This is a WP:primary source, just one study. The results might be strongly influenced by how these researchers investigated. What you need is a secondary source, a review of several articles that describe the relationship between child sexual abuse and social anxiety disorder.

With friendly regards! Lova Falk talk 07:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback

Hello, Wmiguel08. You have new messages at Talk:Phobia.

PS I moved your text to the bottom of the page, where new sections should be. Lova Falk talk 16:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hypnosis

Hi Wendy, thank you for your section Phobia#Hypnosis. You have copied and pasted quite a lot of sentences from your source, and not rewritten or summarized them. As the source is protected by copyright, this might constitute copyright violation. Please rewrite! When doing so, please remember that the text that you added right now is just a bit too much like a handbook for hypnotherapists and not "encyclopedic" enough. For instance, statements like "this must be done with care at all times" is not the kind of factual information that we like to have.
Please don't be discouraged! It is difficult to start writing whole sections when you're new to Wikipedia. With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 18:45, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review I liked the additions that were made to the hypnosis section. It helps to understand the treatment options, specifically how hypnosis is used to treat phobias. The only thing that I noticed is that the sources were primary or did not include a meta-analysis. All in all I think your edits were good. Djenkins10 (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
