Hello, and great to have you around teaching a course! It was nice to have a chat with you and it seems you like you are doing great with all the convention preparation for the kind of wiki course you are presenting. I expect that the students will do well in learning the source material and sharing on wiki. Ping me if I can assist with anything. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:07, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Bluerasberry! Much appreciated. So far things seem to be going well ... have a library coming in tomorrow to help my students identify notable figures from the History of Psychology. Within a week we should have the list of articles we are planning to edit. When we do I will share that list (here? where?) so other editors can check it out and confirm we're on the right track. And thanks for the reminder about the tildes! I keep forgetting SteveJoordens (talk) 14:28, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Citation placement and detail

Hi Steve, thanks for your edit to Mirror test. This looks like useful information. I have some friendly suggestions if you don't mind:

• Placement of citations: We try to have each paragraph end with a citation. So if everything you added is from Povinelli's book, you would normally put the citation after the end of the paragraph. Ideally, you would put it after each claim, e.g. each sentence, that's sourced to the book. See WP:Citing sources#Text–source integrity for details.
• Citations to books should have page numbers or page ranges.
• An easy way to generate well-formatted references for books is to drop the ISBN number into Citer: https://tools.wmflabs.org/citer/ . Or if you use the Visual Editor mode, there's a pretty good widget in the toolbar that brings up a form for adding citations and re-using existing citations.

But most of all, please keep editing! Although your edit wasn't perfect, it was good. It moved Wikipedia forward. That's what we need.
