Victoria,
I think the halo effect would be a great topic, and there is a lot of research on it. Even though this article is “starter” rather than “stub”, there is still a lot of room to grow, especially given how broad this topic is. Sociotropy is a more minor topic, but I think there is enough research there for a good article. I think some of these topics are just too small/minor to be good for a really intense comprehensive Wikipedia article: Othello error, contact high.Gseidman (talk) 20:06, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your suggestion to include more empirical research in the scarcity article is good, but you should be more specific. They do cite a few empirical studies. Where exactly do you think they should be bringing in more findings? You made it sound like they did not cite any empirical work, which is not the case.Gseidman (talk), 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I'm cymru.lass. I saw that when you made an edit to scarcity (social psychology), you added your signature to the text. I know you were probably told to sign your posts on Wikipedia, but that policy actually doesn't apply to pages in the article namespace. You generally only sign posts you make to discussion pages (so talk pages, user talk pages, deletion discussion pages, etc.). I've pretty much covered the basics of signing here, but if you're curious and want to read more, or if you have more questions about signing your posts, you can check out WP:Sign your posts. You can also contact me on my talk page or contact the Online Ambassadors listed on your course's description page. Happy editing! cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 19:16, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The "New section" button, circled in yellow.You're very welcome! I have another piece of advice: I noticed that when you went to post your thank-you message on my talk page, you had a little trouble figuring out where to put it. When you're starting a new discussion on a talk page, it's considered best practice to start a new section at the bottom of the page. There are two ways you can do that. The first is by clicking the "Edit" button at the top of the page, scrolling down to the bottom of the page, typing ==Subject== [replace "Subject" with a brief subject for your message], and then typing your message below. The second way to start a new section on a talk page is a lot easier: Just click the "New section" button at the top of the page. It's located next to the "Edit" button (it's sometimes shortened to a plus sign). Clicking that will take you to an editing form identical to the normal one, except it will be completely blank, and there will be a box above the form for you to create a subject heading. I hope this helps! Let me know if anything was unclear, or if you have another question. You can reply on your talkpage, or you can reply here, but if you reply here, please put {{ping}} in front of your message so I get a notification that you've replied.
