Expanding Stub
editHi, all. I wanted to give a heads up that as part of the WikiProject Psychology, I will be working to expand this page over the next few weeks by adding in sources, background and theory. Mcooperwhite (talk) 06:22, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Copyright issue
editI would like to have a discussion regarding the copyright issue on this page. The copyrighted text has been on the page since it was first created in 2012. While expanding the stub, I left it in (in block quotes and with attribution) under these copyright assumptions from Wikipedia: "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. In all cases, an inline citation following the quote or the sentence where it is used is required. Copyrighted text that is used verbatim must be attributed with quotation marks or other standard notation, such as block quotes. Any alterations must be clearly marked, i.e., [brackets] for added text, an ellipsis (...) for removed text, and emphasis noted after the quotation as "(emphasis added)" or "(emphasis in the original)".
I am happy to change the text, if need be, but would like to know what editors think is the best way to proceed. Thanks! Mcooperwhite (talk) 18:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Mcooperwhite: You're quite right - this quote was there long before you edited the article. It began as an overly-long quotation which gradually lost its quote box. I removed it, and hopefully between the edits to the article and the discussion here, we don't need to fiddle with the article history. Graham Beards is that ok with you?
- Moving forward, Mcooperwhite, I would recommend that if you want those "tenets" in that article that you re-write the information therein in your own words, being careful to avoid close paraphrasing. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:52, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, there is nothing sacred about the wording and it should be recast; as it stood the text was too long to justify a quote. With regard to the text in question being on the page since 2012, often on Wikipedia problems of copyright only come to light when the article is nominated for promotion as was the case here. On this note, it is considered bad form to nominate an article at FAC and not respond quickly to reviewers' concerns. I suggest that the FAC nomination is withdrawn as premature, and we concentrate on eradicating the copyvio and other potential close-paraphrasing from the article. @Mcooperwhite: please do take this personally, and I thank you for all the work you done to improve the article. Lastly, it is not possible to "fiddle with the article history"; it will be there for as least as long as Wikipedia is around. Personally, I would love to see the Tenets re-written in a language that is easier for a lay person to understand. I know from experience that this is rife with difficulties; but please have a go. Best wishes. Graham Beards (talk) 22:31, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Moving forward, I will re-write the information about the "tenets," as discussed, in a way that is more accessible (and is not close paraphrasing). Also, I have withdrawn the FAC nomination for now. Thank you, @GrahamBeards: and @Ian (Wiki Ed):! Mcooperwhite (talk) 02:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- Article has been updated with assumptions. Some of the text has been rewritten in a more encyclopedic tone. Section about hostile media effect has been reworded. New version of article submitted for GAN.Mcooperwhite (talk) 05:24, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

I will give this article a review. @Mcooperwhite: are you still around and willing to respond to a bunch of suggestions? If so I'll go ahead and give this a thorough review. delldot ∇. 22:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- The first comment I have is I think it needs more referencing. I can go through and mark where if you like, but at a minimum each paragraph needs a citation at the end. (If a citation within the para covers the rest of the info, just cite it again. That way if the info gets moved or other info inserted, we still have the citation). I'm gonna leave off for now until I hear back from you, but looking forward to hearing from you! delldot ∇. 22:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, it's been a couple weeks, no word from the nom. I'll fail this for now and perhaps it can be nominated again later if there's someone willing to keep working on it. delldot ∇. 03:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
