Welcome to Wikipedia

Home Sweet Home : Click on the image for more information about it

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for visiting my talk page. My name is Jim, and I edit here with the username of "Cullen328". I've been contributing to Wikipedia for 2-1/2 years now. I am an Online Ambassador, and I have offered to help students in your class. Please feel free to ask me any questions at all about editing Wikipedia.

There are many helpful resources available for new Wikipedia editors. One that I like is WP:PRIMER, which is a one-stop introduction intended to help newcomers to better understand the basics of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The best advice that I can give you to learn how to be a good Wikipedia editor is to actually edit articles, edit talk pages and edit your own user page. Add high quality references to articles, improve the accuracy and improve the prose, and everyone here will sing your praises. Feel free to visit my user page and my talk page, and feel free to ask any question at any time. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:17, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Topics

Topics from sandbox

1. Personality Across Cultures
2. Person-Situation Debate
3. A personality disorder (OCPD, borderline, narcissim, etc. all seem to need work)
4. Positive Psychology

Personality and culture would make for an interesting article. There is a lot of material on the topic. See also Psychological_anthropology#Culture_and_personality. Person-Situation Debate is a fascinating debate...that hasn't been fully resolved. You could work on personality disorders, but they are broad and would require a lot of work to adequately cover all the aspects (there are symposiums dedicated to the topics). Narcissism has over a dozen forms and would be very challenging. Positive psychology has a fairly large article...so it may not meet your class requirements. I would suggest either of the first two topics.Smallman12q (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate it. I think you're right about options #3 and #4... and anyway, I think I am most intrigued by the topic of Personality and culture. I'll focus on that idea for now. Thanks again! Carps11 (talk) 02:36, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Carps11, I think Personality and Culture is a good one. However, it might be a bit too big of a topic, so I would recommend narrowing it down. Perhaps the Big 5 and Culture, or differences in traits across cultures, or some other way of narrowing it down. William Fleeson (talk) 00:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

That seems perfectly reasonable! I was feeling a little intimidated by the hugeness of the topic as it was. I think I will attempt "Big Five and Culture." Carps11 (talk) 14:23, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Personality and culture

Hello, I have moved the page you created, Personality and culture, to User:Carps11/Personality and culture, a page in your user space. I did this because placeholder pages and pages that only say "under construction" or something to that effect are not allowed in the article space. You may work on the article at its current location and ask for feedback until it is ready to be moved back into the article space. Let me know if you have any questions. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh, my mistake! Sorry about the trouble. I did know that I was not supposed to create the page until it had content, but for whatever reason it completely slipped my mind. Thank you! Carps11 (talk) 21:59, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
