Talk:Daniel Stokols

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was written by Dstokols which leads me to think that it may be a misplaced user page. However, Dr. Stokols' biography here seems to make decent claims to notability and I have found verification via Google search. James084 16:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Seems to be one of those WP:AUTO pages we get from time to time. He may indeed be notable, but this article is going to need major PoV cleanup. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 08:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] modifications to Daniel Stokols page

Per earlier suggestions about maintaining neutral point of view, I have omitted several personal biographical details and all listings of prior publications from the page. I believe that the remaining text (from the earlier version of the page) is both accurate and neutral.

[edit] review of edited page

I just went back to the page to see if my edits were added (ie., deletions of personal biographical details, publication listings). However, the page looks the same as before I edited it. Please advise how to make sure that the edits are saved when the "save page" button is clicked, which I did.

If the page cannot be edited, please advise how I can remove the page from Wikipedia altogether. Thanks-

The edits were saved, but I reverted them. It's considered something of a faux pax to edit your own entry on the wiki if you have one, and you certainly are notable enough to have one. Please discuss any changes you consider important to the article here. If they make sense, don't advocate a POV, and dont remove information that someone may wish to know, either go ahead and make them after other editors have agreed, or someone else will add them for you. -Mask 18:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] requested edits of page

I am a newcomer to Wikipedia so I am not up on all of the etiquette or procedures for editing and moving pages around. My requested edits for the editors' consideration are: (1) to remove the listings of awards in the first paragraph unless you think any of that information is relevant and appropriate and conforms to neutral point of view; (2) remove the second paragraph altogether; and (3) remove the complete listing of publications (unless you suggest I should keep a few of them for readers' reference). I am proposing to retain the rest of the information, including the HTML links to the history of our School of Social Ecology and my faculty homepage at UCI. Please advise, and I will make the edits accordingly. I would like to ensure that the information I've posted is accurate, relevant, and unbiased/neutral. I added this page initially after reviewing the page on environmental psychology, since that page lists a number of contributors to the field of EP.

I think the awards can stay, you earned them, after all. College work (majors and where you studied) should stay, remove the rest if you wish. As for your publications, take most of them out... leave the 5 you think are the most important. Go for it. -Mask 19:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
