[edit] JR Harris

Good work on the Judith Rich Harris article! Thanks a lot! Pete.Hurd 16:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow, that was a quick response. Glad you like the article :) Fionah 16:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Kent Haruf

Thanks for the great Haruf info! Amadeust 21:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Glad you appreciate it. I love his writing and thought he deserved a good bio. Fionah 16:22, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Teenage pregnancy

Thank you, also, for your recent work on Teenage pregnancy. Your contribution of the "A worldwide picture" section, in particular, has helped to give the article a global perspective. -Severa (!!!) 18:28, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Extraversion

Hi Fionah, I wanted to let you know that I moved the page "Extraversion" over to Extraversion and Introversion. I hate waffling around like this, but this is probably a good compromise between psychological research and common usage. The term, extraversion-introversion was used by Eysenck, and just calling it extraversion is going to leave people mystified when they are redirected there after typing in introversion. Sorry about all the back and forth, and I hope you will continue to contribute to the page. In the near future, I want to broaden the sections on Jung and Eysenck, and update the research data. Have a great day! Jcbutler 17:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem. It's good to see someone else working on the page. I know it needs some work, esp in the sections you mentioned, and I'm looking forward to seeing your edits. Fionah 08:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
I award you this Barnstar in recognition of all the helpful contributions you have made to Teenage pregnancy in the past few months. Keep up the great work! -Severa (!!!) 14:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pov text in Sex Education article

The text below which has been in the sexual education article for months doesn't even TALK about sexual education. It was placed there by User:Illuminato during a sort of edit war in another article he was insisting on keeping that exact same text inside of and so he copied a bunch of it to other articles where it might concievably fit.

The below text is only opinions about adolescent sexuality expressed as fact and should be deleted (In mine others POV's). i'll give a few days for discussion. Then depending on the answer me or someone else will take action.

Disputed text While according to Leonard Sax, author of the book Why Gender Matters "Increasingly, teenage sexual encounters in the United States do not occur in the context of a romantic relationship, but in an impersonal, merely sexual "hook up."[3] One thing "nearly everyone agrees on is that STDs and risky 'anything but intercourse' behaviors are rampant among teens."[4] The "impersonality of twenty-first-century adolescent sex victimizes girls" and "plenty of harm" is done to boys as well.[5] When taking part in hookups "the kids don't even look at each other. It's mechanical, dehumanizing. The fallout is that later in life they have trouble forming relationships. They're jaded."[6] This is a "profound shift in the culture of high school dating and sex."[7]

Between 1991 and 2001 the number of high school seniors in the United States who reported that they have had sexual intercourse dropped from 54% to 46%.[8] However, the "dominant form of teenage sexuality has changed" in that time period. "It is not penile-vaginal intercourse anymore. It's oral sex."[9] It is usually boys who receive oral sex, and the girls who give it. When girls provide oral sex "they do so without pleasure, usually to please their boyfriend or to avoid the possibility of pregnancy."[10] This is the "heterosexual script that entitles boys and disables girls."[11] Nateland 19:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for doing a wonderful job in splitting off the "Global incidence" and "Notable teenage parents" sections at Teenage pregnancy into separate articles. The summarisation of Global incidence of teenage pregnancy that you wrote is thorough and the new table contributes well to the article. Also good work in expanding the "In popular culture" section into something that is a lot more informative and encyclopaedic. -Severa (!!!) 03:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of notable teenage parents

I have nominated the list you created for deletion. The AfD discussion is here. While there may be a modern stigma to teen pregnancy it has in the past been the normal thing for people to become parents much younger than they do in current western society. Garrie 05:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
