Feedback - Week 4 Assignments

Nice job with the edit/evaluation and linking to my user page and your colleagues'. In terms of topics - I turned up absolutely no published articles on PsycINFO for either of the phobias and only 3 for healthy multiplicity (2 of these were unpublished dissertations). Additionally, if you look at the two phobias they have each been created at some point and then deleted (this doesn't bode well for the article topic - Haptodysphoria). If you are interested in somewhat esoteric phobias you can always find a table of these in your textbook (in Anxiety Disorders chapter) and then see if there are any with at least a handful of published articles? Additionally, although there isn't much specifically on algophobia if you are interested in pain-related fears there is a broad literature and it seems you could modify the site you evaluated. If you need help brainstorming additional ideas let me know. Tatompki (talk) 17:15, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Excellent work! You are really getting the hang of editing (including providing constructive suggestions on the talk page along with edit summaries) and linking. There was a slight problem with your reference in that the journal should be the journal title not the database where you retrieved it (no points deducted). Hopefully your group is getting a bit closer to narrowing down to your topic? Let me know if you need any help!
