[edit] Request for help in wording

I don't suppose many will see this, seeing as how the article is relatively new and low activity... however, this sentence - The equation is a foundation of social psychology, of which Lewin was a modern pioneer - sucks, and needs rewording. It originally said something else, I changed it to this here: [1] to get rid of the need for quotes around "fathered". I don't think either version is satisfactory, so if anyone wants to try rewording, I'd appreciate it. Milto LOL pia 01:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

You bring up a very good point. The foundation of social psychology upon an equation does seem a bit odd. I did not write the page, I simply brought it to the main page for Kurt Lewin. Also, the source is simply a link to a google search. I'll write a better paragraph for the equation when I have time if you like. --Kenneth M Burke 02:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Sure, thanks. This is my first article :( SO it's far from perfect, but it's an important equation... I'll try to find a better link to that online book, one that's not a google search result. Or, is there any particular page that shows how to cite a book? That would make it much easier, I have one on hand. Milto LOL pia 16:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you wrote the page. Certainly, I don't want to step on any toes. I'll think about just the one sentence you noted. I can help you cite your book if you have the information.--Kenneth M Burke 16:38, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
