User talk:Cait ash

Cait ash, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hi Cait ash, I'm glad to see you set up your talk page and I look forward to working with you on this course.

Ideas for project
The topic I have chosen:


 * Imaginary friend

Cait ash, Paula Marentette (talk) 14:30, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Social cognitive theory of morality - this one is a great find but the topic is more social than cognitive
 * Centration - this looks like a great page to work on, quite focussed, you would have to combine it with something else, as this won't be a very big task.
 * Imaginary friend - this choice is good, because the page needs work and it is an interesting topic. Do look through the talk page to see what you are getting into, but don't let that stop you. Your job is to provide evidence-based information regardless of the misperceptions that may exist out there.
 * Infant cognitive development - this is a great page to choose because the need is quite high, it is exactly on topic for the course, and there isn't enough information on the page as it stands.

P.S. KBrajkovic (talk) is also interested in the first two pages so we should talk before things get going. I am OK with collaboration. That is the spirit of Wiki.

In case you pursue Imaginary friend, here is a good source. The Oxford handbook of the development of the imagination. Editor Marjorie Taylor. It is in our library (except I have it out right now...) Paula Marentette (talk) 15:13, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Cait ash - Imaginary friend is a very interesting topic, and judging by the talk page of the article, there are quite a few queries that accompany your topic choice. I am interested to see your additions and what further sourcing you will use to support your new information. In conjunction with your additions, I hope you are able to clear up some of the areas that are lacking in the article as is. There are some pretty clear citations needed, perhaps a better/more empirically supported definition, and possibly (if it exists), more support/explanation in the research portion of the article. The talk page of the article is extensive but in places petty and circular, I hope you are able to work around some of those comments and steer clear of any attacks on your own contributions. I look forward to assisting you further in this project and seeing what positive changes you make for this interesting article! Scout37 (talk) 19:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Course update
Cait ash, I see that you have completed most of the requirements up to this point in the course and are working on changes for your article. Could you sign yourself up as a reviewer of one of KBrajkovic's articles? I look forward to seeing more suggestions for how to modify this article which has a history of being a bit inflammatory. I hope the Taylor et al. (2004) article from class will be helpful. It would be good to get your potential sources up fairly quickly as you need some kind of draft by next week. We have online help now from Ian (Wiki Ed), feel free to put a note on either of our talk pages once you start your sandbox work.

Taylor, M., Carlson, S. M., Maring, B. L., Gerow, L., & Charley, C. M. (2004). The characteristics and correlates of fantasy in school-age children: Imaginary companions, impersonation, and social understanding. Developmental Psychology, 40(6), 1173–87. doi:10.1037/0012-1649.40.6.1173

Yes, please feel free to drop me a note if there's anything I can help with. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:40, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Cait ash, I am reviewing your work on Imaginary friend. I see that there are several requests for citations in some of the areas you contributed. Wiki will want a specific source for each claim. They prefer one source per claim. They also don't prefer a summary or synthesis of a number of works together. If you are able, it would be great to make the changes as I think you have all the sources you need, you just need to separate out the information by claim. Also I note that another course must have been working on this topic as there are other good additions to your paper that have been made since your changes. Thanks for your work on this project.

Hi! Yes Marcus, Carly and I may have used the talk pages as a procrastination tool ... Clfergus (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
