Hello! My name is Davis. Im looking forward to working with you this semester, peace!

Looking into editing a couple subjects such as: Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB), Thumb Twiddling, Army Substance Abuse Program,

Week 2 assignments
The articles you chose seem problematic. ASAP might be ok, but I didn't find it as an existing article, which would mean you'd be writing it from scratch. The other two might be all right but presently they aren't in WP:PSYCH. I copy&pasted advice I gave to another student below, so maybe that will help...

So here is what you still need to do to get caught up on this project.

Critically evaluate an existing Wikipedia article related to the class, and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's discussion page. Research and list 3–5 articles on your Wikipedia user page that you will consider working on as your main project. Ask your classmates for comments. Add 1–2 sentences of new information, backed up with a citation to an appropriate source, to a Wikipedia article related to the class.

So first go to Category:Stub-Class_psychology_articles (which I found on WP:PSYCH) and find an article title that is interesting to you. When you click it, the link takes you directly to the article's "talk" page which is where discussion about articles happens. If you click on the "article" tab at the top then you'll see the actual content of the article. Read one or two and then go back to the talk page by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top. Read through any discussion that has already happened and then click the "new section" tab and create a new section called suggestions or something and write in some ways that the article could be improved.

Go back to that list of articles, try to find 3 of them that you'd consider improving. Make sure that there isn't a lot of information on the articles already and that they are on a topic that you could research. Then on your user page (User:MPagel64) type in the names of those articles surrounded by twin brackets.

Now pick an article, maybe one of those 3, maybe the one you picked in step one, or maybe a totally different psychology article all together. Find a "good" source (see WP:SOURCES for examples) and try to add information from that source to the article, and then cite your source. At the top of the edit box, is a triangle and the word "Cite". When you click it, the menu bar under it changes, and there is a spot that says "Templates" with a downward triangle next to it. Click that triangle and choose what type of source you are using. Then just fill-in as many of the info boxes as you can.

Week 3 Assignments
You are now late in completing these assignents: Select an article by listing it on the assignment page, compile a bibliography of at least 3 good sources and list them in the talk page of your article, and create a sandbox version of your article. I'll still award you some credit if you get them done this week. Be sure to post on my talk page (in the Week 3 section) after you've completed the assignments. --MTHarden (talk) 14:33, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
