User talk:XiaosongChen
Hey, Xiaosong Chen! When I looked over your theory page, I saw some areas that could use some improvement. Like me (and a few others in our class), a page was already created for your theory prior to this semester. Since you're left to clean it up and add to it, it seems like you have more work on your hands than if you had started from scratch. Here are my suggestions...
1. The information in the history and critiques subcategories needs to be expanded. 2. Information needs to be cited properly. So far, nothing in the article has been attributed to sources. I'm sure this was done by someone else, so I understand the difficulties associated with my suggestion.
Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Reflection 1
[edit]Hi Xiaosong Chen,
I looked over the Social Exchange Theory page that was created prior to this project. The one major thing I saw, like my page, there were references listed but they were not cited in the text properly, so you don't know which reference goes where. I would definitely update those. A number of the sections could also uses expanding, perhaps with more examples or theoretical basis. Great start! Meaghan Lightbrite (talk) 23:17, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Social exchange theory page feedback
[edit]Xiaosong,
The article could benefit from some linking to other wikipedia articles like I mentioned in class last week. I noticed lots of opportunities, for instance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Thibaut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Kelley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_%28social%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma
just to mention a few.
There are certain points where you are using the · character. If these are meant to be bulleted lists, use the * character instead, and wikipedia will convert it when it displays the page.
References should typically go at the end of the text being referenced; in some cases you have the references at the beginning instead.
There also seem to be numerous spacing issues with the text; typically paragraphs should only have a single line separating them.
I'm a little confused as to why some pieces of the page (e.g. Humans seek rewards and avoid punishments) are appearing in the blue code boxes; is this intentional?

Welcom to Wikipedia
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia and sorry for my rather rude removal of you edit in the article July 2009 Ürümqi riots. I understand that you are working on an assignment but Wikipedia is not a place for original research. The narrative/logic/summary you assembled in the article is not represented by any of the source you provided thus it represent a breach of no synthesis rule. Again, it is nothing personal, but given the amount of edit war several editor had with the section, it is often best not to restart the conflict with bad editing habit. Again, welcome to Wikipedia and hope you enjoy the learning experience. Jim101 (talk) 22:29, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
