I am a Psychology major from Hibbing, Minnesota. I am going to graduate in December with a degree in Psychology and English. I am interested to be able to help edit Wiki pages with knowledgable information.

Our problem for our article is that there was no article made for Beverly Greene. My questions were How many sources should we have for our article in general? and Is there any advice that you can give for creating a new page?sefran2 (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

She became interested in how people became who they are and how to use that information. This was the start of her studies. She became of aware of the complexity of the human brain and wanted to know more. She started out at New York University where she graduated with her bachelor's degree in psychology in 1973. This is really where she began to flourish and get intrigued by feminism and how this ties in with psychology. After that, she moved on to Demer Institute, Adelphi University where she got her Master Degree in 1977 and PhD in 1983 in Clinical psychology, Green has done a lot of work within feminist psychology where she primarily works with people who marginalized for their race, class, gender and sexual orientation.

She found that the feminist groups were more interested in hearing her ideas about why people are marginalized and what can be done to help stop the epidemic. Her core beliefs are that psychology needs to grow to understand that racism is very much alive and that we need to focus on women from different cultures according to www.feministvoices.com. She has written many articles on research that she has done, some which date back to 1993. Her last article was in 2010. She currently teaches psychology classes at St. Johns University. She started there in 1991. sefran2 (talk) 22:41, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments: ''This is good, but more suitable for the main body of the article than the lead. It is written like you're telling a story. The details about upbringing and education should go in the main body. Start the lead by establishing her notability. First of all, say who she is, an African American psychologist. Then describe her notable accomplishments, books she's written, important research, etc. Be specific.'' J.R. Council (talk) 19:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on group lead:
'''OH MY! This is way too long. See if you can cut it in half, or even less. Remember, you want to make it short and interesting so people will want to read more. Focus on notable accomplishments. Don't throw out the other details, just save them for the main article. These include:
 * Details about childhood
 * Details about undergrad & masters degreese
 * Most of the narrative in the final paragraph

Other suggestions:
 * Don't write like you're telling the story of her life. Be succinct. Try to write this like a news article.
 * There a lot of rather vague statements about her acccomplishments. Be specific, and back up your statemets with reference citations. J.R. Council (talk) 20:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's general comments: Don't be guilty of plagiarism!

 * 1) I have commented above on specific sections.
 * 2) It's obvious that you have just copied the long lists of publications, awards, etc. from her web page at St. John's.
 * Are you aware that this is plagiarism? Even if that were not the problem, it's a lazy way to do things.
 * ''You need to take most of this down and summarize her accoomplishments in your own words.

J.R. Council (talk) 19:29, 25 April 2018 (UTC)


 * We went back and responded to your comments.
 * Like we have already said, we did not just "copy and paste" her works. We gathered all of her information from various websites and cited it.
 * We were not being lazy. We were gathering all of her information from various websites, which we thought is what we needed to do for her Wikipedia page. We didn't realize that there was a limit to how many things we could list that showed her achievements.
 * We fixed it to your liking hopefully. Please let us know if there is anything else we need to do. Isley Pie6 (talk) 23:44, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Comments on latest work: After reading this revision over, I honestly don't think this is going to pass muster. I am going to send the link to Ian to see if he argrees with me that just too much needs to be done to get this fixed before the semester is over. J.R. Council (talk) 22:06, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) References are still done incorrectly
 * 2) Sections are poorly written. Some are choppy, some use language that is too informal or colloquial. Other sections use superlatives or extreme language that is not acceptable in Wikipedia.
