Hello Anita
Hello! My name is Alyssa Cheadle. This semester, I will be available to provide help in understanding how to get work done in Wikipedia.
I am a graduate student in Psychology at UCLA. Last semester, I edited Wikipedia articles as part of a course in Social Psychology. I worked on the article "Just World Hypothesis," and I was able to nominate my article for a Wikipedia "Did You Know" feature. I found the assignment effective in helping me learn about my topic, the culture and norms of Wikipedia, and writing articles from a neutral point of view for a lay audience. I learned some valuable lessons while completing my assignment and I will be glad to offer advice to you!
Please contact me with questions; I prefer to be contacted via email.
Good luck!
Alyssa

Good Job, Anita!
LEAD SECTION:You can improve the lead section by making it more of a stand-alone concise summary of the article. Make sure to indicate to your reader that you will be discussing the applications of equopotentiality in neuroscience, behaviorism, and dispositional motives.
LANGUAGE:You have avoided using field-specific jargon and explained them when necessary
LINKS:You have missed links to other Wikipedia articles in some cases, for example: link to a page on neurobiology so that your reader can reference the term \'cortical hemispheres\'.
NEUTRALITY:Your contribution maintains a neutral point of view and consists of verifiable statements, and it avoids becoming original research/opinion.
CITATION:You have cited facts from reputable, accessible, and up-to-date sources.
WRITING:Your writing uses correct grammar, verb tenses, and spelling.
CATEGORY:It is useful to try to categorize the page. It will help others to find the article more easily. It will also be important to title your page with a title header before making it live.
REFERENCES:Check out the Wikipedia format of references (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Referencing_for_beginners) and try to fix your references to follow this format. Evaluate the utility of the Biography section. This may be helpful in your sandbox, but may not be appropriate when you publish your article.
I noticed that you have not yet made your edits live on Wikipedia; if you are having trouble doing so, please contact me.
Keep up the good work!
