Hello Nikki Hello! My name is Alyssa Cheadle. This semester, I will be available to provide help in understanding how to get work done in Wikipedia.

I am a graduate student in Psychology at UCLA. Last semester, I edited Wikipedia articles as part of a course in Social Psychology. I worked on the article "Just World Hypothesis," and I was able to nominate my article for a Wikipedia "Did You Know" feature. I found the assignment effective in helping me learn about my topic, the culture and norms of Wikipedia, and writing articles from a neutral point of view for a lay audience. I learned some valuable lessons while completing my assignment and I will be glad to offer advice to you!

Please contact me with questions; I prefer to be contacted via email.

Good luck! Alyssa Click here to reply  InstructorCommentBot (talk) 21:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC) on behalf of cheaal01 (talk)

Good Job, Nikki!

LEAD SECTION:Your lead section is a stand-alone concise summary of the article.

LANGUAGE:You have avoided using field-specific jargon and explained them when necessary

LINKS:You have missed links to other Wikipedia articles in some cases, for example: link to Wikipedia pages of other figures and theories you mention, like G. Stanley Hall.

NEUTRALITY:Your contribution maintains a neutral point of view and consists of verifiable statements, and it avoids becoming original research/opinion.

CITATION:You have cited facts from reputable, accessible, and up-to-date sources.

WRITING:You can improve the writing of the article by checking the grammar, verb tenses, and spelling. For example, in the first sentence under the \'Outlook on the Nature of Psychology with Other Disciplines\' heading, the second half of the sentence should read \"is demonstrated...\" in order to maintain subject-verb agreement. In other spots, you may want to vary sentence length for better readability. Also check to make sure you are using the correct terms; for example, in the last sentence under the \'Wilhelm Wundt\' heading, the correct word to describe Wundt is \'influential\', not \'affluential\'. A thorough read-through will help you fix a lot of these issues!

CATEGORY:It is useful to try to categorize the page. It will help others to find the article more easily.

REFERENCES:Check out the Wikipedia format of references (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Referencing_for_beginners) and try to fix your references to follow this format. Make sure that you are putting reference links in the text so that your readers can click and refer to your reference list.

I noticed that you have not yet made your edits live. If you are having problems with that part of the process, please be in touch.

Keep up the good work!
