Hey Danica! So I'm not entirely sure I'm doing this right, but I'm trying to do part of our assignment by leaving you a message! How is editing Wikipedia going for you? I'm trying to figure out which page to edit! See you in class tomorrow! BilliChavez (talk) 03:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I think we should choose a different topic, do you want it to be another type of phobia that has more research on it or something else? Mackleah (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 28 September 2011 (UTC).

Danica, Nice job with the evaluation and linking to my user page and your colleagues'. In terms of topics - I turned up absolutely no published articles on PsycINFO for either of the phobias and only 3 for healthy multiplicity (2 of these were unpublished dissertations). In terms of this last topic I wasn't sure if you were perhaps interested in a loosely related concept neurodiversity as there is a bit more written on it (although the literature is still quite scant). If you are interested in somewhat esoteric phobias you can always find a table of these in your textbook (in Anxiety Disorders chapter) and then see if there are any with at least a handful of published articles? If you need help brainstorming additional ideas let me know. Tatompki (talk) 05:10, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Excellent work! You are really getting the hang of editing (including providing constructive suggestions on the talk page along with edit summaries), linking and referencing. It looks like you are exploring a new topic on a stub-article that could use a lot of help. If you all are interested in pursuing and you feel there is a substantial enough published literature on the topic it looks like you have a new direction. Let me know if I can help in any way.
