My name is Briana. I'm using Wikipedia as part of a project in my History of Psychology class. Hi Briana, This is Dr. d. I have evaluated your articles and following are my comments. Please select one of those I think will work and use it for your project. Good luck and let me know of any questions. Chris Hatcher (psychologist)-ok Norman Triplett-great!! Erikson's stages of psychosocial development--excellent Criminal psychology-not elated enough from a historical perspective. Forensic psychology is taken already.

I will be editing Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. My three references are:

3/9/2012 Outline and New Resources • Beginning Paragraph • Stage Chart o Make sure to find sources for columns: approximate age, significant relationship, existential question, and examples. If no references can be found, delete the columns if favor of different ones. • All of the following: Be sure each has sufficient examples and add existential question to the ones that do not have it. o Hope: Trust vs. Mistrust  Expand on topic o Will: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt  Expand on concepts of shame and doubt o Purpose: Initiative vs. Guilt  Removal of redundant sentence in second paragraph  Expand on topic o Competence: Industry vs. Inferiority  General expansion of topic o Fidelity: Identify vs. Role Confusion  Removal of redundant heading of psychosocial crisis  Possibly add link to super ego  Content seems sufficient o Love: Intimacy vs. Isolation  Removal of redundant heading of psychosocial crisis  General expansion of topic o Care: Generativity vs. Stagnation  Removal of redundant psychosocial crisis  General expansion o Wisdom: Ego integrity vs. Despair  Fix age discrepancy between Care and Wisdom  General expansion of topic  Removal of redundant psychosocial crisis  No citations present o Development of Freudian theory  Seems sufficient enough o Value of the Theory  Expansion as to the value to it had on psychology, as well as on society in general o Critique  Some expansion needed

Just a few minor edits, little things like indenting paragraphs . The table of the stages looks great! Make sure you take out "strike outs" and red font as it is against Wikipedia policy. I know several students have been edited by outside users for these minor edits, myself included. It looks like you have everything on your check list crossed off! Congratulations!
