Request for help in wording

I don't suppose many will see this, seeing as how the article is relatively new and low activity... however, this sentence - The equation is a foundation of social psychology, of which Lewin was a modern pioneer - sucks, and needs rewording. It originally said something else, I changed it to this here: [1] to get rid of the need for quotes around "fathered". I don't think either version is satisfactory, so if anyone wants to try rewording, I'd appreciate it. Milto LOL pia 01:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You bring up a very good point. The foundation of social psychology upon an equation does seem a bit odd. I did not write the page, I simply brought it to the main page for Kurt Lewin. Also, the source is simply a link to a google search. I'll write a better paragraph for the equation when I have time if you like. --Kenneth M Burke 02:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, thanks. This is my first article :( SO it's far from perfect, but it's an important equation... I'll try to find a better link to that online book, one that's not a google search result. Or, is there any particular page that shows how to cite a book? That would make it much easier, I have one on hand. Milto LOL pia 16:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you wrote the page. Certainly, I don't want to step on any toes. I'll think about just the one sentence you noted. I can help you cite your book if you have the information.--Kenneth M Burke 16:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lewin's Equation → Lewin's equation –

Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. WP's practice is to downcase laws, theories, and equations, etc. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. $Tony (talk)$ 09:51, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, couldn't add anything that isn't already in the nom. --The Evil IP address (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Major revisions/expansion coming!

Hello - Just a heads up that I will be extending/reworking this Wikipedia page over the next few weeks. :)
