These are just initial/possible resources. More will come and go as I look further into the research and address such topics as the history and description of personnel/industrial psychology. Such topics will hopefully include job analysis, performance appraisals/measurements, training, selection and placement, reward systems, and feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjchaney402 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I am not done with this, but will have to come back to it at a different time. Cjchaney402 (talk) 20:45, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

APS Class Project-Peer Review
I found your article to read very easily and I loved the divisions you used. I believe the flow you used worked really well with your topic, especially by including a brief overview and why your topic is important. I also think the language you used was very appropriate for the task. I believe under each heading it would be helpful to give specific studies in a little detail that are the highlight of that subheading. For example, under the heading feedback maybe discuss an article on feedback that is one of the 'hallmark' articles on feedback. I believe you are adding sections on feedback and training, which I definitely think you should because those are important topics in IO.

Also, if you included a summary section you could discuss the impact personnel psychology has had on the workforce by discussing how a big well-known company in the United States has successfully used the five factors you discussed in your article. All in all, I believe this page was well done and I like how you stuck to the goals you had on the talk page. You cited almost everything which is what Wikipedia likes and your page is very informative!! Mobell2012 (talk) 18:49, 24 April 2012 (UTC)mobell2012

Peer Review #2
Excellent work. I like the breakdown into History and Uses. This might not be necessary, but you could consider explaining one of the methods by which some of these studies got their findings. Otherwise, your article flows really well through the different headings. I think the training and feedback sections will be useful once you add them, its hard to evaluate those prior to you writing them, but I'm sure you have the research for them.

Honestly, I think you've done a pretty complete job as far as what the assignment has asked for. If you wanted, you can see if there are any neurological explanations that would be appropriate for some of the phenomena you have explained. Wikipedia likes citations about every couple of sentences, so in the definition section, you might more frequently reference your source for each paragraph. Really good work so far.--Dowiggins (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Pullquotes
, it appears that you're overlooking edit summary which explains why things are done. Per WP:MOSQUOTE Pull quotes do not belong in Wikipedia articles. These are the news and magazine style of "pulling" material already in the article to reuse it in attention-grabbing decorative quotations. This unencyclopedic approach is a form of editorializing, produces out-of-context and undue emphasis, and may lead the reader to conclusions not supported in the material.

 * The quotation belongs. It is a seminal idea from the founder of I-O psychology. Iss246 (talk) 03:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You did not read the part pertaining to MOS:PQ pull quote. Graywalls (talk) 07:12, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
