Welcome to Wikipedia

Home Sweet Home : Click on the image for more information about it

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for visiting my talk page. My name is Jim, and I edit here with the username of "Cullen328". I've been contributing to Wikipedia for 2-1/2 years now. I am an Online Ambassador, and I have offered to help students in your class. Please feel free to ask me any questions at all about editing Wikipedia.

There are many helpful resources available for new Wikipedia editors. One that I like is WP:PRIMER, which is a one-stop introduction intended to help newcomers to better understand the basics of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The best advice that I can give you to learn how to be a good Wikipedia editor is to actually edit articles, edit talk pages and edit your own user page. Add high quality references to articles, improve the accuracy and improve the prose, and everyone here will sing your praises. Feel free to visit my user page and my talk page, and feel free to ask any question at any time. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Your sandbox draft

Hello,

I read over your sandbox draft. My first reaction is that the four points you identify seem probably to be one theorist's breakdown of the topic, rather than something that is generally accepted among all serious students of personality worldwide. I could be wrong though, as I assume that you are far more familiar with the literature in the field than I am.

• 1. Intra-individual differences in consistency
• 2. Ipsative consistency
• 3. Mean-level consistency
• 4. Rank-order consistency

You need to define the terms for readers unfamiliar with the topic, especially "Ipsative consistency", which may come off as jargon to the average reader. Speaking as an average reader, I ask - what do these four things mean and why should I care? Please keep in mind that you are writing an encyclopedia article first, and a class assignment second. Expect that your article will be around for many years, and will be read by thousands of people who know far less than you about the topic. Explain it in a way that will take them from "not knowing" to "knowing". In that sense, you are the teacher here, not the student.

Please feel free to ask other questions. Create a new section on my talk page - if you post in an old section, I may not notice. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. When you recently edited Personality changes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Affect (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
