Motivation crowding theory
edit- ... that, according to Motivation crowding theory, paying people to do some task can sometimes lead them to doing that task less?

Kingoflettuce (talk) 03:54, 5 December 2018 (UTC)Wot is the hook?!
I feel like the previous comment, which has been used as a QPQ for the user, isn't an adequate review of any sort. You can't claim to have reviewed a DYK when there isn't anything to review, and should have tagged or messaged the nominator then politely waited for a hook to be added before saying you'd reviewed it — and then followed up in the last two weeks after the hook was added.
- The article itself has some reference issues (odd, for a GA nom) which could be quickly fixed. The hook is good content but needs rephrasing. Can you fix the refs and see how you like the ALT below? Kingsif (talk) 19:37, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Motivation crowding theory shows that sometimes paying people to perform a task will lead to them performing it less?
- Hey, Kingsif. Thanks so much for taking the time to review! I like the pith of that Alt. for the DYK. I approve. Anything I need to do with it?
As for other issues, I'd be happy to fix anything you catch. Let me know what you see? When I go to edit the page, I get a report of "No errors found" for the Citation Error Report. There seems to be something wonky with the dates on many of the citations, but I can't figure out how to edit the dates.
Any help to a neophyte would be appreciated. Thanks!
