This is our contributions from my sandbox. I cleaned it out so we could work on starting our article in there. It is now ready for beginning our work on Assignment 7 and the outline. Because we keep having problems with location, check my user talk page, and the sandbox talk page. Dr. Council was only looking at one page so we didnt get credit for Assignment 6 yet, I wrote back and explained where we were working on it. Meganrose99 (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

The main problem with Spearman's Two Factor Theory of Intelligence is that there is not a wiki page yet for it. Two citations of Charles Spearman's work are below.

How would be the best way to begin an article from scratch? How far do we go with Spearman's method? There are many places to link into the rest of the wikipedia page, but how do we know what is relevant to our article and what belongs in another area?

This has a little information on it: It is a book and I am not 100% sure if the library has it, but from what I can access online it might be an option

Here is another option

I have some concerns including being able to find enough information to write a proper wikipedia page and how to know if an article is Wikipedia appropriate.

To-Do List

 * 1) Gather information on two-factor theory (Because there is no article yet, we both will have to gather information) Meganrose99 (talk) 01:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Find reliable sources to cite
 * 3) Relate G to all other s factors (I can do this part)Meganrose99 (talk) 01:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Outline

 * Two-Factor Theory
 * Background
 * Spearman
 * General intelligence (G)
 * Specific intelligence (s)
 * Uses for Modern Psychology

To Do List:
Dnelson2 (talk) 18:42, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Break down what types of reliable sources we should each find. For example, I could focus on the older data more related to Spearman, and you could focus on modern research.
 * Formulate a very detail outline or discuss what should include in the article. By this I mean compare each others outlines posted here and come to a common ground on what to include on the article.
 * I personally need to review the process of starting a new article, which directions are posted on blackboard.
 * I will focus this weekend on finding reliable sources.
 * I think it would be helpful for us both to review the information of the Two Factor Theory of Intelligence provided by our textbook, as well as a google search, to simply help understand the topic better, but not to use it for citing or backing up of information written in our article.
 * Let's break down the final outline and each pick which areas we'd feel best fit us and begin working.

Possible Outline:

 * 1) History
 * 2) Spearmans's impact
 * 3) Main Principles
 * 4) G Intelligence
 * 5) S Intelligence
 * 6) Theory and experimental evidence
 * 7) Recent/Modern impact
 * 8)  References

OUTLINE
(Add what you think, and let me know, we need to get a definite version. I combined our two outlines to make this. Comment on what you will plan to do, and we can get it set.)

Did you know...
Nice work on your draft article. I wonder if you would like to consider submitting it as a candidate for the "Did you know...?" feature. DYKs (as they are commonly called) are short snippets taken from Wikipedia's newest articles and, if approved, appear on the Main Page. You can learn more about this by clicking on the image to the right to access a nice pdf outlining the process. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:52, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
