Hi!

Wikipedia: Edit wars example
This edit war has to do with Abortion.

This edit meets the definition of an edit war because they are going back at each other about religious ethics and eugenics and undoing their revisions.

Textbook edit #1: Principles of Psychological Testing
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_testing

Proper psychological testing is conducted after vigorous research and development in contrast to quick web-based or magazine questionnaires that say "Find out your Personality Color," or "What's your Inner Age?" Proper psychological testing consists of the following:
 * Standardization - All procedures and steps must be conducted with consistency and under the same environment to achieve the same testing performance from those being tested.


 * Objectivity - Scoring is free of subjective judgments or biases based on the fact that the same results are obtained on test from everyone.


 * Test Norms - The average test score within a large group of people where the performance of one individual can be compared to the results of others by establishing a point of comparison or frame of reference.


 * Reliability - Obtaining the same result after multiple testing.


 * Validity - The type of test being administered must measure what it is intended to measure.

Textbook edit #2: How to Improve Performance Appraisals
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_appraisal

Although performance appraisals can be so easily biased, there are certain steps that can be taken to improve the evaluations and reduce the margin of errors through the following:


 * Training - Creating an awareness and acceptance in the people conducting the appraisals that within a group of workers, they will find a wide range in difference of skills and abilities.


 * Providing Feedback to Raters - Trained raters provide managers who evaluated their subordinates with feedback, including information on ratings from other managers. This reduces leniency errors.


 * Subordinate Participation - By allowing employee participation in the evaluation process, there is employee-supervisor reciprocity in the discussion for any discrepancies between self ratings and supervisor ratings, thus, increasing job satisfaction and motivation.
