While it definitely as some tone problems they are not enough to need deletion.

Expert opinion

This looks more like someone's research essay than an encyclopedia article. An outside opinion would be appreciated.--Strikerforce (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence broken?

Under "Approaches", this passage. I'm going to highlight four pronouns to make the problem apparent. "These approaches define social competence based on how popular one is with his peers. The more well-liked one is, the more socially competent they are."

"His" with the antecedent "one" is unusual today, but documented as correct. However, after that usage, the antecedent of "they" can only be "peers". The fact that my peers like me is official evidence of their social competence? Well, I'll buy that, but it sounds like a pretty subjective criterion. —Wegesrand (talk) 09:54, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review by noveljams

While the article seems to support each section appropriately with references and working links it does seems to read like a dissertation or scholarly study on social competence related to children specifically. I feel that this may be why Wikipedia mentions the article may not reflect the sites encyclopedic tone. Wikipedia mentions the article needs additional citations for verification however every reference I clicked worked and went to a scholarly source that supported the articles content. I did identify 2 bare urls; reference #3 and #9. #3 goes to a retired MSU site and #9 goes to a seemingly removed Scribd site. Seems like it would be easy enough to remove them and find other supporting references. While the information is relevant and delivered in a neutral way it does seem to over represent the theory of social competence solely in regards to children or adolescents. The article has good bones and seems to be a few steps away from meeting Wikipedia standards. Noveljams (talk) 03:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
