To stay with the topic, I want this link to go to Christianity. But I want to make bold Pentecostal.

Assignment 4

Allie's Thoughts:

1. A problem with Ruth Winifred Howard's article: This is pretty obvious, but it's incredibly short. There has to be more on this individual.

2. Here are two sources for RWH that aren't listed in her Wiki article: (a .org mini biography) and (a Google book preview). I have yet to check if the second one is available in full at the NDSU library

3. My 2 questions for Prof. Council: Where else besides Google Scholar and NDSU library can we try to find sources for our article (the Google results are very limited)? How much are we allowed to talk about/include other people in Howard's life (i.e. close friends, spouses, siblings, etc.)?

See Sandbox Talk for my comments. Everything there should be moved to this page.

I don't see anything from Aisha. J.R. Council (talk) 04:00, 6 March 2018

Aisha's Thoughts 1. One problem with Ruth Winifred Howard's Wikipedia page is that there is not a lot of information about her life and work/contribution to psychology as there is enough information on the internet to build her wikipedia page.

2. These are the two sources I had found about her not shown in her Wikipedia reference page. One was http://www.apadivisions.org/division-35/about/heritage/ruth-howard-biography.aspx. I had gotten this one from google scholar and the other one was http://teachpsych.org/resources/Documents/ebooks/psychological-specialties-in-historical-context-2016.pdf#page=57 also a journal from google scholar.

3. My question for Prof.Council: Is there a limit to references/cut off needed for this assignment? How deep do you want us to go in terms of the content?

Caleb Zander: 1. A problem I found with this article was that it had a lot of links to pages that do not exist. 2. I found http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0143034308101847 http://www.apadivisions.org/division-35/about/heritage/ruth-howard-biography.aspx 3. My first question is that is it better to have a lot more headings that are more specific, but have less content. Or to have less, more broad headings, that have more content under them?

I think it's best not to break it up into a lot of short sections.

Second question is if there is a recommended length for the overall article? Or is it more about the quality of the writing?

Make it long enough to cover the topic well. Quality of writing is important. Don't pad to make it longer. J.R. Council (talk) 03:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

As per Dr. Council's request, everyone who posted content outside of this page, should move it to where its supposed to be, ie. here. Caleb Zander (talk) 21:41, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Assignment 5

To-Do: 1. We need to find more sources that are not necessarily directly about RWH but who had a significant impact on her life and/or work. That's going to take some digging I think. 2. We need to start drafting some actual stuff for her page in the sandbox I think. Alliejuve (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC) 3. Once we have more sources, I think we'll be better able to organize the information. Alliejuve (talk) 04:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

To-Do List

Finish researching, Condense what is important for her article, break up which sections each person should be responsible for writing, make sure it doesn't feel disjointed Caleb Zander (talk) 04:52, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on Assignment 5

This looks like a good start. However, you have not each contributed to each requirement of the assignment. Caleb has done the most - to-do list, outline, and refs. I can't see that Aisha and Ryan have done anything. No one has indicated they are taking responsibility for specific sections of the article. If you are remiss, please do your part to make up missing points. J.R. Council (talk) 17:07, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
