[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. It looks like you already know your way around a bit already, but since no one had formally welcomed you yet, I thought I would. Here are a few good links that we suggest to all newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) will produce your name and the current date. (Almost everyone uses 4.) You should always sign talk pages, but not articles. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. You seem quite knowledgeable in areas where I've seen a few of your edits and comments, and I see that you've decided to be bold in editing when appropriate (rather than asking someone else to make a change). In my experience, many academics who visit Wikipedia are too timid when it comes to changing something that obviously needs it. Thanks for your contributions to the Emotional intelligence article. Again, welcome! -DoctorW 19:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interventions to develop emotional intelligence

I don't get why you revert my contribution of the "Interventions to develop emotional intelligence." A textbook chapter on emotional intelligence by Salovey and Mayer (whe pioneered the current model of emotional intelligence) is not a good enough source? The lack of a section on *applications* of emotional intelligence is not a glaring oversight in the wiki article? I'm trying to assume good faith on your part. --Dr.enh (talk) 02:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


Hi, personally I'm tired of helping to maintain this page, correcting inaccuracies, deleting advertisements, removing vandalism, etc. Your 'contribution' comprised three empty links and one which -surprise surprise- led to some 6-second commercial stuff. Do you seriously believe that an encyclopedia (even a semi-serious one) would include stuff like that in an EI entry (or in any entry for that matter)?

It has taken too much effort to remove the pop-psyc stuff and commercial advertisements from this page and if you want to go back to when all the entries were from the 'scientists' at 6-seconds, MHS, etc. etc. be my guest. You are obviously unaware of what constitutes peer-reviewed research if the best you can point to in your contribution is a chapter from some book. Incidentally, there is no "current model of emotional intelligence". There are multiple models and that by Salovey and Mayer is one of the most problematic. There is a raging debate in the scientific literature about all this. Try reading before writing - it helps.Wikikoo (talk) 12:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
