Talk:Genetics influencing aggression

[edit] Fix article name

I think the title of the article should be changed; doesn't seem to be proper/standard wiki style. 64.81.240.241 04:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Partially fixed to address incorrect capitalization, but the article name is still not good. Someone should come up with a better article name. Sandy (Talk) 18:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I did enough cleanup to justify removing the tag, but the article still needs more. The WP:LEAD needs to conform, the article needs a copy edit for basic grammar and punctuation errors, and the wikilinking is a mess - the first occurrence of each term should be linked, not *every* occurrence. Pls review WP:LEAD, WP:LAYOUT, WP:MSH, WP:MOS, and for wiki-linking, WP:MOS-L. Sandy (Talk) 18:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I followed this matter -of how often linking is allowed- to the Answer Desk, and the answer was that the could be linked more than once, but only one time to any one subsection. Many people (myself included) go to a page, check the index, and go straight to the subsection I want to read. If I come across a term not linked, I have to go up the page to find its first occurence or type it into the search box. I can see that short or relatively short and simple topics don't really need a second link. Nor does it seem at all appropriate or needed to simply link because you can link, when the subject is not so obscure that many people would have to check a reference. But in long technical or complicated articles, it is nice that Wiki allows one per section. --Kiwi 00:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

As one of many examples, aggression is not a technical or overly difficult term, and yet it is wiki-linked sixteen times in one section in addition to the many times in every other section: this article is a classic example of over-linking. Genetics and heritability are also not difficult terms that need to be repeatedly linked. Please try to fix these, and the many others, Sandy (Talk) 01:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I did a few sections as an example of how many times the same word is linked in one paragraph or one section - there is much more to do. Sandy (Talk) 01:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

My GOODNESS!!! Sandy, I see now what you mean. I didn't look at the article until after I wrote and have been doing deep and extensive editing offline where I have spellcheck and font size control for optimal working speed. (have diabetes & vision problems). Would it be helpful to post it on a page on my pages here at WK? I am a good copy editor where you're looking for clarity above all. I have the background to make all the material understandable to me -- but I can make it understandable to all. I've done the beginning section and the first subsection or two and was going to upload it, but for some reason my browser froze up on me. --Kiwi 07:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
