Emotion Work

I noticed that you have been working a lot on Emotional labor. The Emotion work article is a stub. It has two sentences and two references. One reference I added to Emotional Labor's list of references. The other sentence and reference refer to emotional work to maintain a relationship. Can you think of where that might link to? I think that "Emotion work" is a disambiguation page that ought not need references. DCDuring 02:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, As much as I know, the term "emotional work" is the original term of what is known today as "emotional labor". --Hila2410 01:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Emotional Labor

Having a red personal page link is a sign of a newbie that makes some suspicious of the contributions being made. I'm glad you've put something on your page. Please don't worry about Matisse's tagging of the article. He's picky. The general standard of social sciences articles does need to be improved however. Your academic background means you won't find Wikipedia's standards hard to believe in and strive for. Happy editing. DCDuring 17:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks --Hila2410 17:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Looks really good. Congratulations and thanks. Even Matisse might like it. You might want to look at absorbing the "Emotion Work" article. Check the text to see if there is anything there. (Probably not, but check.) It should become a redirect page to "emotional labor". Your page will indirectly get the links (though they should be made directly to emotional labor.

Hi, I would like to edite two pictures, which represent jobs that casually include emotional work- can you help me with that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cashier_at_her_register.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Waitress2k7.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Altenpflegerin_D1824.jpg Thanks!

I know nothing of graphics. Sorry. DCDuring 02:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I succeed by my self, thanks...(copy-past from another article. Now I just have to edit the "emotional exhaustion" article. Hila

Congrats again. Now I know who to ask for graphics help. DCDuring 02:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Emotional labor

It looks like you have done lots of hard work and the article is greatly improved. A few things:

• There is no point in red-linking "hassles" as it is very unlikely there will be an article on that subject, or other red-links that are unlikely to have articles. Hassles at best would be a dictionary word and there is a rule WP:WINAD.
• Become familiar with the Manual of Style WP:MOS that applies to all Wikipedia articles. For example, bolding is to be avoided except at the beginning. (There are very few exceptions to this.)
• Statements like "Researchers suggest" are to be avoided as "weasel words": WP:WEASEL. State what researcher suggest whatever.
• Qotation marks are to be avoided, unless you are actually quoting someone, and then you would have a reference citation.
• There are still many uncited statements, but I know you are working on that.
• Something to consider when you have the article in shape is to go through a Wikipedia:Good article candidates review to get feedback, or ask someone from the Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors to help you out. Much of writing an article in Wikipedia is knowing the MoS (Manual of Style) rules, of which there are many.

Feel free to ask me again. Regards, --Mattisse 16:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Picture I want to use

• P.S. You can use any pictures from Wiki Commons in your article that you want. Pictures are a lot of fun. --Mattisse 17:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
