McKenzie - in order for your user page to look right, you need to go into Edit source and remove all of the nowiki and /nowiki commands from the beginning and end of lines. Training on tutorials wss fine. When you fix your user pages you'll get full credit for your assignment. J.R. Council (talk) 22:26, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

I think the Paris Effect would be a great article to work on because it looks like there is a lot that we could improve. Another suggestion is Tea and Toast Syndrome, which is also on the stub article list. I thought it sounded interesting and I think we could expand on it in great detail as there is only three small paragraphs right now. I also wouldn't mind doing an article on a person, if anyone has a person in mind! JadeyKappes (talk) 23:31, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

I would like to suggest editing the Paris Effect page. It is a psychology stub and I looked into it- there is only a few sentences written and no references. I think it would be easy to upgrade and interesting to learn more about. I'm open to other suggestions too, of course. (I copied and pasted this comment I had originally posted on my user page, incorrectly. Apologies. So it seems like we all agree that the Paris effect is a good option, and maybe can count that as our first choice? For the other suggestions that Emilee and Jadey made, do you have any specific items we could discuss? Sarah, what are your thoughts? Mckenzie.l.mann (talk) 04:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I also think that the Paris Effect would be a good article to work on since there is so little about it on Wikipedia. It sounds like it would be an interesting topic to work on. Editing on a person would be something of interest to me as well, but I think a psychological syndrome or effect would be something cool to work on. Emilee.andersen (talk) 04:36, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

The Paris Effect and Tea and Toast Syndrome are both articles that could use some work on. However, Professor Council mentioned that it is good idea to look through our assigned chapter we got as a group, to see if there was a topic we could elaborate on for a Wikipedia article. As I was looking through Chapter 5, “Voluntaristic Psychology” came up. I searched for it on Wikipedia and it brought me to an article page called “Voluntarism (philosophy).” I’m not sure if that’s the same topic because I haven’t done research on either of the two, but whether it is, or isn’t, this is something that could be elaborated on further, or mentioned on Wikipedia. Also, since everyone is interested in discussing a person, I found Eleanor Gamble in Chapter 5 as well. She doesn’t have much elaborated on her Wikipedia article. What are everyone’s thoughts?

I wasn't particularly excited reading about Eleanor Gamble, although I do agree there may be more to add to her article. I checked the "voluntarism" articles and there was actually a psychology one as well. It did however, redirect me to "Structuralism." That one seemed to be somewhat related to the philosophy article, as they both mention psychology influencers like Wundt. The psychology "Structuralism" one, did have a well written and lengthy description, though. Mckenzie.l.mann (talk) 04:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, was Eleanor Gamble not someone exciting to read about just because of the little information they have on her, or just in general? Thank you for looking at the background information on “voluntarism!” Knowing that helps narrow our decision down more. I’m going to try and look at Chapter 5 more to see if there’s anything else we could potentially do more research on, just so we can keep our options open. However, if anyone feels strongly about doing a particular topic, I’m sure we could just do that!PsychMajorFall19 (talk) 07:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

When we discussed as a group in class earlier today, we all came to an agreement that the Paris Effect was our top choice. As for our second choice, I think we should go with Eleanor Gamble. I did a quick search and found that she was a researcher that dealt with the sense of smell-- which is what the Paris Effect deals with as well. I thought that was kind of funny. JadeyKappes (talk) 23:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

I have not been able to find any information, whether it be from our NDSU databases or google scholar, about the Paris Effect. Our second choice has been taken by a different group, so I am suggesting that we swiftly decide on a different topic so we are not rushed on wednesday. An idea I have is the Boston Process Approach. Not only does it seem interesting to me, but I found plenty of peer reviewed research in the databases and it would be relatively easy to do well as there needs to be a page created for it. Let me know your thoughts as well as any other ideas/thoughts! Mckenzie.l.mann (talk) 03:06, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

The Boston Process Approach sounds good to me. I'm not sure how we create a page on Wikipedia but I'm sure that won't be a problem. Sarah and Emily, does this sound like a good topic it to you? If it does, we should email Professor Council ASAP to see if we can switch our topic to this. JadeyKappes (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with the topic of the Boston Process Approach! I think it will be something interesting to work on as well. Emilee.andersen (talk) 19:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC) I also wanted to comment and add that there actually is a page on Wikipedia that is titled 'The Boston process approach', however, it does look like there could be more information added to the article. Emilee.andersen (talk) 20:42, 20 February 2018 (UTC)d

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I agree this is a good option! PsychMajorFall19 (talk) 02:52, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I’ve looked at material available for the Boston Process Approach, and at the existing article. I think this is a great topic with lots of potential for developing and improving the Wikipedia article. Go for it! J.R. Council (talk) 21:52, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Your topic

Hi Group 5. The Paris effect looks promising and interesting. Can you find enough material to make a substantial article? J.R. Council (talk) 22:27, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
