Good work here. You've made a nice start.

Assignment 6

Lead section - Christian J. Thompson

Knight Dunlap, born November 21, 1875, in Diamond Spring, California. Dunlap served as APA president in 1922.[2] He developed a form of paradoxical therapy called 'negative practice' "making an effort to do the things that one has been making an effort not to do." through this procedure he hoped to extinguish the troublesome behavior by perhaps "bringing under voluntary control responses which had been involuntary." (Paradoxical Psychotherapy, Weeks and L'Abate p.9). Dunlap earned his doctorate at Harvard and subsequently worked at John Hopkins University as the Professor of Experimental Psychology from 1906-1936. In addition to his teaching and research, Dunlap influenced the development of psychology using his editorial talents. He founded the Journal of Psychobiology in 1917. Dunlap was known for his argument in favor of the standardization of design in traffic signals and signs. He is also famous for criticizing psychoanalysis. In the 1940s, he was well known through his experiments involving colorblindness. "As a psychologist, I have the psychologist's prejudice, that ideals, intellectual analysis, and education are the fundamental forces of progress, and that laws, conventions, and customs serve to consolidate and make secure the gains achieved through these forces.". Dunlap died in South Carolina in 1949.

Dr. Council's comments:

• Put his name, with birth/death dates in parentheses, in bold.
• Your lead is too wordy as written. Also choppy. Improve flow. Details can go into main text of article. Focus on "notability."

This looks very good. Just make a couple of changes and move on to the main article. Changes:

1. Don't put name in parentheses, just dates of birth and death. Don't need month and day. Look at other biographies in Wikipedia for examples.
2. Put all of this in past tense. He died long ago.
3. The therapy he developed is not well-known, at least currently.
4. Put the ending quote in the main body, not the lead.

Dr. Council's comments on Assignment 8

1. First of all, learn how to do basic editing, like proper section headings. Don't put blanks in leading spaces. It just puts your text in a grayed out indented area, which is not acceptable for an articles. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
2. Learn to do proper reference citations. Please refer to: Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
3. Be sure to use your own words. It is very easy to go over the line to plagiarism, and the penalities are severe.
4. Otherwise, the content in this section is fine. Polish up your content, finish missing pieces, and let me know. I'll send it to Ian at Wiki Ed for vetting before publication.
