User talk:Tradescantia/Amy Halberstadt

I am building this page for the recognition of a contributor to modern psychological research. She also happens to be my partner, a fact that page-builders are encouraged to share on their talk pages, so there it is!

I am, however, more like the page editor than the writer, as I have only sketched out the projected content that professional colleagues of Amy Halberstadt will be contributing over the next several weeks. Probably they will send this material to me and I will upload and format it for Wikipedia. In the meantime I am not sure if anyone wikipedian will be visiting this work-in-progress, but if so I'd be pleased to hear any reactions and suggestions. This is somewhat new to me, and I am not sure of the process. I have appreciated Wikipedia for years and resolutely defend it against the criticism and (more commonly) dismissal of my academic colleagues (granted, there are legitimate criticisms, but for many academics the problem seems to really be that, as the saying goes, wikipedia only works in practice...), but I have only recently begun to edit myself. It's a way of giving back and also making contributions on subjects of which I have some knowledge and appreciation.
