Hi Ashley!
Hey Ashley!

This is Michelle Wilson! I am also taking relational communication this semester. I am new to this whole wikipedia thing and am a bit overwhelmed, but hopefully we'll be able to work through this together!

Hello, Aeteate, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Instructor Feedback for Wiki Draft
Lead section: The addition here is good, but I think the use of “conflict resolution” in the first sentence and the use of “conflict negotiation” in the second sentence is a little confusing/contradictory. The sections starting with “unilateral decision” could use an introduction section describing how these types of resolutions fit into a category of resolutions and where they come from. These types of resolutions could also benefit from citing sources.

Try to avoid using evaluative type of language such as “The Dual Concern Method does make some great points in regards to the styles that can be used based on the motives of a person.” This would be considered a subjective assessment on your part rather than summarizing factual information presented in a source about this type of resolution. Try to avoid using global pronouns for the readers (e.g., you) or unidentified referents (e.g., they). See the haggling/bartering section for an example.

How might some of these resolution types overlap with the conflict styles presented in the dual concern model? For example, the problem solving section you describe is similar to the collaborating style. What helps to distinguish these concepts?

The steps to conflict resolution section is a nice contribution. I’m curious if there is a way to make some connections to relational conflict here rather than from a workplace organization perspective.

Nice job making small grammatical or stylistic edits throughout some of the other sections on the page. The counseling section makes some nice contributions. But it would be stronger with some sources cited.

The mediation section needs a basic description of what mediation is. For example, “When two conflicting parties are having trouble reaching a resolution, a neutral third-party can act as a mediator.” Avoid the second person style pronouns in the interpersonal section. Is there a citation for the study presented in this section? I’m not sure where this information is published. Serial argument section is good.

Overall, there was a lot of existing material to sort through so nice job with all of that. I think some of the sections could use a little more clarification in terms of connecting it to the main topic of conflict resolution and improving some stylistic issues.

 * Hi! I wanted to second that you add more sourcing, if possible! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank You
Hello Dr. Pederson and Shalor,

Thank you for this amazing feedback.

I have read through it all and I am definitely making some tweaks.

I also wanted to say, for citing, I have cited all the articles found within the given time constraints. I am sure there are more articles and studies out there on this topic.
