[edit] Myers-Briggs articles
Hi, Eincrat. I noticed you added several articles related to the Myers-Briggs test, such as Group Dynamics (Myers-Briggs). As they stand now, they're essentialy empty and lacking context, which may make them eligible for speedy deletion. You might want to go back and add some context to them before creating more.

- Also, we do not create duplicate articles. We create an article once and then use #redirect from other titles. -- RHaworth 17:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to create a format so that the information in one article can be easily moved to another article. Right now the INTP ISTJ etc. categories are empty space. I figured we should develop the topics like relationships all at once then transfer the information. 17:18, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- I have reconsidered. It makes more sense to create Relationshiips, Careers, etc. in the categories INTP, ESTJ etc. than it does to do it the other way around.

- It looks fairly promising but will obviously need to be fleshed out. However, you really need to start with a descriptive overview of the individual types, so I'd add a section "Description" as the first heading. I also don't think it's a good idea to add sections that have headings but no content -- rather, you should have some content to start off with, even if it's only one or two short sentences that others can come in behind you and expand. Also, stubs need to be marked as such, otherwise, as Joyous said, you'll probably find them ending up being speedily deleted. I'd take a look at Wikipedia's guidelines on creating stubs if I were you. Jammycakes 22:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. Basically I have been doing it the way I have because its efficient. I'll create a short descriptor once I get the cognitive functions written. Eincrat 22:16, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
