[edit] Thanks for finding where my articles were going

I copied a couple of short paragraphs from another site, put the content in quotes, indented it, and led with a sentence saying, "The following information was located on the web site for the University of..." It would certainly fall within the contraints of "fair usage" outside of Wikipedia!

I had no idea that would result in having the article deleted. I was just trying to create a stubb after looking the names up on Google. I'd like to convert more of the 'red' entries, but I find it tedious to do more than a copy-paste stubb when it's an entry I have no any real interest in. Thanks for tracking that down for me.

[edit] Ph.D. for categorization as psychologists

I am a bit worried about the implications of the remark that you made at talk:Steven Hassan regarding the fact that the APA said that only people with a Ph.D. should be labelled as psychologists. This is unusual in the Netherlands and I do not think this should be applied for Dutch psychologists in the English language Wikipedia. The jurisdiction of the APA does not apply for the Netherlands as far as I know, nor is this an American encyclopedia. Nevertheless, it would be strange if Dutch people without a Ph.D. would be labelled as pscychologists, while Americans would not. There is not a concrete case yet that I have in mind, so you may disregard this remark as academic. Andries 22:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I made the same comment at Category_talk:Psychologists. Andries 23:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I've responded there also. -DoctorW 04:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Joyce Brothers.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Joyce Brothers.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 13:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apology in regards to List of cult and new religious movement researchers

DoctorW,

I apologize to you for my response to your recent edits on List of cult and new religious movement researchers. What I should have done is to follow WP:BRD and invited you to discuss on the Talk page rather than rebuking you for making the change "unilaterally". That was improper of me.

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for bringing some common sense and NPOV to these articles. It is a daily chore to keep these articles neutral and having another pair of eyes on these is great. Happy New Year. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Developmental psychology forum

I thought that you might be interested to know that there is a developmental psychology forum over at the Psychology Wiki. It was set up a little more than a month ago but still hasn't been used yet. I'll inform other Wikipedians who I think may be interested, as well. EPM 00:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
