Welcome!
Hello, Wmj1974, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Project Topic Discussion
Welcome to our group discussion area to decide on a topic.(Wmj1974 (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC))
 * I agree with trying to find a female that is lacking information. I will do some research tonight at work and add a couple suggestions tomorrow (Wmj1974 (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC))
 * From looking at Dr. Councils suggestion of possible topics, I like Eleanor Maccoby because she worked with B.F. Skinner. She has a wiki already started but I did find more infomoation on her that we could majorly improve her page. My second choice is E. Mavis Heatherington who dealt a lot with divorces and behavioral psychology but tried to show there is not just a negative side to a divorce but also a positive side. She has done a few researches and written books. She also won APA award for lifetime contributions along with a couple other awards. We can do a lot of cross referencing to get enough resources. She does not have a page a started. Let me know what you all suggest.  I am game to work on any page.(Wmj1974 (talk) 15:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC))
 * I came across this lady and she has 2 bad pages done on her. We should think about combining the pages and making a good one. I found a lot of information on her too. http://www.wikipedia.or.ke/index.php/Au%C5%A1ra_Augustinavi%C4%8Di%C5%ABt%C4%97

 * I love the idea of improving the information on a woman in the history of psychology. I would be up for either Eleanor Maccoby or E. Mavis Heatherington; while I enjoy the work of B.F. Skinner, I think it would be wonderful to start a page that hasn't been done. E. Mavis Heatherington seems to study something both interesting and relevant to something we have almost all dealt with, there should be plenty of information available to create a great wiki page. (Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 02:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC))
 * I think it would be a wise idea to start fresh and do our wikipedia project on a person that has not received a personal wikipedia page yet. I think this would be a good idea because we can start from scratch and we do not have to work off of somebody else's work being there ideas may be a lot different then ours. This gets us a opportunity to run in multiple different directions if we want. As for the person of choice, I do not have a preference and whatever best fits our groups as a whole. I trust Mariah when she says E. Mavis Heatherington is relevant to all of us.

 * I agree that it's a great idea to start a new talk page instead of building off of someone else's. However, as I've researched a couple of the different women mentioned, I was able to find more information on Eleanor Maccoby than E. Mavis Heatherington. Of course, both are doable, but my personal preference would be Eleanor Maccoby. She has been outspoken on her feminist ideals and has a ton of interesting research on gender differences. I have found information on Heatherington's work, but not much about her personally, so I think it would make the project much more difficult for us. Morgan.hausauer (talk) 04:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * So it sounds like our choices are Eleanor Maccoby and E. Mavis Heatherington since no one commented on my third choice on Aušra Augustinavičiūtė. If there is more information found on Eleanor then Mavis I would agree to have Eleanor as my first choice but that leaves us at a even tie, with 2 votes for a whole new page on Mavis and 2 votes for building more information on Eleanor. We need to decide who is our first and second.
 * We have two votes cast for Eleanor Maccoby, one for E. Mavis Heatherington, and Brooke said she didn't have a preference. I think it is safe to tell Dr. Council that Maccoby is our first choice and Heatherington is our second. Morgan.hausauer (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me! Brookehonek (talk) 15:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on your article choices
Both choices are good, but I think you'll find the most material on Maccoby. She has had a long distinguished career, and has received many honors. Often when someone gets an award, there will be a journal or newsletter article which contains biographical information. J.R. Council (talk) 20:36, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Discussion of article, references to be used, and questions we may have
My evaluation of current article: First thing I notice is that there is very little information in the Talk Page. Last and only entry is from 2011. This article is labeled as a “stub” and Wikipedia is asking for help to expand this article. The article has no picture of Eleanor Maccoby or even a life history section to learn who she is. There are only a couple sentences for the introduction/abstract, a little on her publications and an award she received. This article needs a lot to be added to it, to make it more respectful to whom Eleanor Maccoby is.

Questions: I referenced a couple of Eleanor Maccoby’s publications and journal article, which I plan to cross reference some of the other references off of them. This ok to do? How do we reference a picture we use from the internet or do we have to reference any graphics used? Wmj1974 (talk) 00:49, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Mariah's Evaluation of the current article: I agree with Wendy, this article is very short and doesn't include a picture! Besides that I noticed that it does not have much information on her early life, her background, her professional life, as well as information about her later life. It provides a wonderfully blank slate so that we can fill in the information needed.

Questions and Comments: If there is a video about Eleanor Maccoby showing her talk about her work or something education can it have a link embedded in the wiki-page? If so, how is that done? From what I could see looking at the information about Eleanor Maccoby, there is far more information regarding her work than anything I could find for her early or later years in a book or journal. Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Evaluation, References, and Questions

One issue I have with the current article is the lack of information on Eleanor Maccoby. For the amount of references they have I believe they should of been able to do a better analysis of the references they did cite in the current article. This lack of information on Eleanor Maccoby could be linked to not enough sources or simply a poor analysis of these references. This issue is something worth investigating, which will help us improve this article and create a better grasp of who Eleanor Maccoby was as an individual, and a female psychologist. Similar to Wendy, I also noticed the lack of communication on the talk page as well.

The first question I have is regarding the current references cited within the article. Are we still able to use these references, go back and do our own analysis of the current references and add any information from these references worth noting or should we work with completely new references?

The second question I have is regarding the third reference I noted. It is not available online so I would have to find the reference some where else. Do you know anything about the Kurt Lewin Memorial Award Eleanor received? Is it something worth investigating? Brookehonek (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Morgan's evaluation

Although Eleanor Maccoby's Wikipedia page has information on her career and schooling, it doesn't touch on her life outside of psychology. This includes the fact that it is missing information from her early life and also relevant personal information from her adult life. I think that her page should definitely include information on her strong voice in the feminist movement and the feminist ideals that she worked toward throughout her life. This information is especially interesting because it ties back to her well known studies on sex differences.

Questions or Comments

I have struggled with how to insert the information box that is found in so many Wikipedia pages (contains a picture, the name, years of life, etc.). Is there a place in Wikipedia that I can find this format or learn how to do this?

When grading Eleanor Maccoby's article, are you looking for a specific length that we should strive for, or is it based more so on quality of information and organization of the information? Morgan.hausauer (talk) 03:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Contributions to the Psychology of Sex Differences

Publications
 * In 1966, along with Robert Oetzel, she published her first book on sex-based differences, entitled The Development of Sex Differences. However, her most influential book was published in 1974, and was entitled The Psychology of Sex Differences, which Maccoby co-authored with Carol Jacklin. This book, which reviewed over 1,600 different studies of socialisation's effects on sex differences, stressed biological, rather than cultural, influences on sex-based differences.Morgan.hausauer (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
