Ibrahim's question
Can amazon be used as a source for publication date and so forth.
 * You can't cite Amazon as a source, but you can certainly get publication information there. You should not cite a source if you haven't read it. However, if you are generating a list of Rescorla's publications, it would be fine to use Amazon. J.R. Council (talk) 07:04, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

New member
I have added Marc Guler to this group. J.R. Council (talk) 05:26, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

You guys need to contribute
I see that Marc has done some stuff toward Assignment 5. I have given you an extension since Marc is joining this group late. However, both of you need to start contributing. Each assignment builds on the last, so you need to work on Assignment 6. I will give you credit when I see some work. J.R. Council (talk) 03:31, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

To-Do List
I will be doing more expansive research on his articles along with explaining more and summarizing some of his important works and achievements. Gulermarc1 (talk) 20:16, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

We will both also be adding more relevant information we may find that helps the article to the page, along with improving structure and aesthetic quality of the article by adding and formatting several new sections and subsections. Gulermarc1 (talk) 20:21, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

IbrahimOmar12 (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2015 (UTC)I will be working on Biography (early life and career), books, Awards, personal life, and putting up a picture. I will also make some contribution on his work.

We are also going to take the current information in the article, which is essentially just written and condensed into one paragraph, and move the pieces into our relevant sections and subsections to make the article easier to read as a whole. Gulermarc1 (talk) 20:31, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

You need to start working on this
Ibrahim and Marc - this assignment is worth 25 points. It does require some effort, so you need to start working on it now. J.R. Council (talk) 04:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC) J.R. Council (talk) 22:07, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I am surprised at how little this group has worked on this article. There is so much information available on Rescorla, it would be very easy to get full credit for this assignment. As it stands, Marc has done nothing, so gets 0 points for this assignment. Ibrahim has done some, but not much real content. At least he is trying, so I'm giving him 10 points.

Not ready for publication
There are parts of this that could be moved to the main article, but I cannot consider this anywhere close to final. This is very incomplete, and I do not see proper references. If you need help, please talk to me. J.R. Council (talk) 03:28, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If nothing else, do a proper introductory paragraph. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section J.R. Council (talk) 03:47, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Good work, Ibrahim
It looks like Ibrahim has put some good effort into this just as the assignment was coming due. I see nothing from Marc, however. Ibrahim, when I meet with you, we can talk about where to go next with this. I do think you can move a lot of what you've added to the main article. Marc can certainly help with this. J.R. Council (talk) 22:18, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Nothing new as of April 24
Please follow my suggestions above in order to get points for Assignment 9. J.R. Council (talk) 16:40, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Still nothing added as of April 30. J.R. Council (talk) 22:07, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Still nothing added as of May 4. J.R. Council (talk) 23:04, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Not suitable for publication
Since nothing has been added as of May 4, I am judging this content not suitable for moving to the main article space. There is no point in working on it any more. J.R. Council (talk) 19:29, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
