Hey guys,

I'm doing some more work on the page today. I quite like it. I am very happy with this topic, so interesting. :) I'm leaving on vacation to Mexico tonight, and I won't be back to Edmonton until the morning of January 9th.  So, whatever I do today is basically the end of my contribution for this draft.  I didn't do any homework on Christmas, though!  Yay!  Enjoy the rest of your holidays, and I'll see you once school starts again.

I'll look to see if I can still find my "how to wiki" sheet, but I don't know how either... curious. One more final tomorrow afternoon! Then a couple days of wiki-ing, then I'm declaring myself done. My goal is NOT to be doing homework on Christmas. :) Zynna.lynn (talk) 05:22, 20 December 2011 (UTC) ---

Oh and I accidentally recycled my 'how to wiki' from sarah polkinghorne so ive got to email her back to get it. But n e one know off the top of their head how to make a reference thats multiply used just look like 1 in the cited list? -Jer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jviczko (talk • contribs) 18:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

- Ya I hope it turns out good. Im truly ready for this term and all the hw to be over and done with though, and in desperate need of vacationing. And ya our wiki entry will probably, and hopefully, be revised and added to by 'experts', but we are the founders of it no matter what! props to us haha -Jer - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jviczko (talk • contribs) 17:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC) Mm, yeah. The wiki page that we'll eventually put it on is Normality (Behavior). And Behaviour is broad enough. I know there are good examples from other things though, so just so long as they're tied back to behavior. I haven't gotten any "paper" vibes. It's a wiki entry, that's what I'm doing. It's funny, I also feel more motivated to do a good job, because instead of just being graded by one person, the entire internet will eventually criticize us. Intense. :) -Zoe -- Thanks Zoe! Ya I'll go back and tidy up the neuronal normality and properly relate it right to behaviour. I didn't think it was just going to be about behavioural/psychological normality, so I figure we would have to cover every application -- deleted the medical/chemistry definition, cause ya it defiantly wasn't really well fitting in anyway. It seems like Dr Noels wants this to be like a paper though, which I am finding difficult to approach in that way if that is what she's looking for: an encyclopedia entry and a paper are two way different objectives, so it's kinda mixing me up a bit. Any thoughts?

--- Dear Jeremy, you are awesome. I am super happy with your DSM part. I think there are still some issues with the "neuronal normality" part, since it didn't make any sense to me. Because I don't know what "synaptic runaway" is, ect, ect. Not in layman's terms yet. And probably the philosophy stuff needs to be added to in some way, and it may accidentally start to run through with my sociology stuff. But I suppose I will just keep out some of the sociology stuff which has already been said, and then focus more on other new stuff!" "- I fixed the "normalcy" thing. It's just a synonym, but I'm all for consistency. - Some of everyone's examples (including mine) are not really behavior. So, if you're going to use non-behavioural normality examples, maybe tie it back to why this is relevant. For example, the "normality as the concentration of a solution" thing confused me. - If anyone wants to put in some links through the rest of the article, you can go ahead and do that. I did that for the intro (which still needs work) and some other bits. A fun touch. - References are still screwy, too. "~Zoe"

-- NOTE to Zoe and Justin!: remember not to use question marks! We're supposed to sound like we know what we are talking about! and maybe we should keep the terminology strictly to 'normality' an 'normalization' (when we are talking about returning something to normality) instead of using terms like normalcy too -Jer
