Beginning Stages of Editing
Hello all, I visited the 'The College of Psychologists Ontario and it has a lot more info than what has been posted. Below are the areas (and possible sub articles) I have looked into and –somewhat– edited.

ABOUT SECTION The College of Psychologists of Ontario is the governing body for Psychologists and Psychological Associates in Ontario. The College operates under the mission statement Promoting Excellence in the Practice of Psychology for a Changing World/Promouvoir l’excellence dans la pratique de la psychologie pour un mondeen transition (taken from mission statement section). As such, the College mandate is to protect both professionals and cliental alike by monitoring and regulating the practice of psychology, and through the participation of both parties, the College ensures competent and ethical professional psychological services from qualified providers.

 * setting requirements for entry to practice and administering the oral and written registration examinations;

 * providing educational materials and information to the public and the profession regarding the practice of psychology;

Possible idea for another paragraph: Evaluation/membership. What do you guys think? Cheers, Karyn Karyn.semple (talk) 01:53, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Son of a gun. Don't bother with trying to bold stuff, its uber painful. Beginning with the ABOUT SECTION and ending with the list of names is what I have found and semi-edited. The links are provided at the bottom with what section they are in brackets after the link.

Also, I suggested, but it is a lot of reading, for our third paragraph: what if we had an evaluation/membership section? Comments? Karyn.semple (talk) 01:58, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I am conducting research about the professional conduct at this college. I am also going to provide interpretations of each professional conduct. My only question is whether to provide information in my own words or word for word with a reference. The interpretation inserted under my 1st example is my own interpretation. Should I be taking the original one? Please comment your thoughts Standards of Professional conduct' 1. A member of the college shall be open and responsive to the regulation and discipline of the college Interpretation - All members have the responsibility of conducting theirs or other peoples activities to ensure they supervise in providing the psychological services which adhere to the statuses and regulations which are relevant to the provision of psychological services and the professional standards, policies and ethics adopted by the college.

Ok, I am adding an affiliates link, provided by the website, and making the 'council' section plus a 'membership' section Karyn.semple (talk) 20:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be best to provide the original interpretation to keep the information as accurate as possible. Also, great addition karyn ! ArielleFilipe (talk) 18:52, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Progress on the Article
I have formatted and did some editing of the original page on my sandbox. It looks extremely different then the original piece. I still haven't finished the infobox, but have added in my section. Good progress Team Wiki! --JenEng (talk) 21:52, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I added in some general information about the publications of the college including the bulletin and the e-bulletin ArielleFilipe (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

I added the references to the publications section as well as a click through link to the College's website. I'm not sure if the click through link is unnecessary since the website is also stated in the info box but I figured this would make it easier for the reader to get to the official College website as they're reading the article rather than having to scroll back up.

I changed the infobox layout to make it a little bit more outlined/neat ArielleFilipe (talk) 20:21, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Just edited your portion on the publications. Great job! Thanks for the updated look on the infobox! --JenEng (talk) 20:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Just formatted Karyn's section on the perspective members. It's coming along Project Wiki! --JenEng (talk) 20:39, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Just fixed the part in publications and made it more clear that the college provides both an online e-bulletin as well as just the regular bulletin ArielleFilipe (talk) 23:10, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Project Wiki Notice: I am doing the screenshots of everything now! I texted all of you if you had any last changes - and I got the green light from everyone. Great job Project Wiki! We're done. --JenEng (talk) 02:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
