Copy of a reply to your comment on McGhee-Mangrum Inventory of School Adjustment (MISA) talkpage

Hi Brian,

Personally, I don't doubt the information about the test is accurate and that it might be useful for parents, though I am not sure how much they would understand of some of it. The difference with today's Star Wars movie page is the list of references, all of which talk about the movie and make the specific points quoted in the articles. The problem is that there is nothing independent for these tests, no reviews, no current references, nothing. For example, you added to the Token Test article "Forth. The tests used to document validity are those used most frequently by educational psychologists. It will be important to demonstrate signficant correlations between the TTFC-2 and a test such as the Fluharty; a test measuring listening comprehension preferred by speech-language pathologists." Where did these ideas/criticism come from? Probably from your own head and good for you for thinking critically, but that makes it Original Research which is not allowed here. How much of the rest of it is Original Research? It is impossible to tell without references. My suggestion would be to make your own website with these kinds of test reviews if it is important to you. Unfortunately Wikipedia has strict rules about the sort of articles that are covered (for good reasons, I might add) and my guess is that these tests don't make the grade at present. They may do in the future when there are more independent reviews and sections of books etc on them. I hope this helps --Slp1 00:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
