RFC at Talk:Coefficient of relationship

I've relisted an RFC at Talk:Coefficient_of_relationship#RFC:_Should_this_article_have_a_table_such_as_the_one_at_Coefficient_of_relationship#Human_relationships? which didn't receive any fresh participants last time around. Mentioning here since this Wikiproject is listed on the article's talk page. Your comments there would be greatly appreciated. - MrOllie (talk) 18:25, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Judgmental language

This stub has been unreferenced and unimproved for 15 years. I think it's been mis-tagged as well. Can somebody please think of the children, and add a few reliable sources? Thanks. Bearian (talk) 20:20, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: Draft article on The Principle of Collaboration and Cooperation (TPOCo)

I’ve drafted a sandbox article for The Principle of Collaboration and Cooperation (TPOCo) (User:Darwipli/sandbox - Wikipedia). TPOCo synthesizes decades of research into an interdisciplinary model showing how cooperation—as an energy‑sharing, cyclical process—emerges from early childhood through complex societies. It highlights uniquely human behaviours (e.g., fair sharing after collaboration) grounded in developmental psychology and comparative research (Tomasello et al. 2011).

Why this matters for WikiProject Psychology

Links cognitive and social developmental findings (e.g., sharing in preschoolers)
Integrates cross‑species comparisons to clarify what makes human cooperation unique
Provides a systems perspective useful for social cognition and developmental theory

I welcome feedback on psychological framing, source quality, and integration with existing articles (e.g., cooperation, social cognition). Please review the draft at User:Darwipli/sandbox - Wikipedia and share comments below. — Darwipli (talk) 15:00, 27 March 2025 (UTC) Darwipli (talk) 04:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please help expand and prepare "Draft:False humility" for publication in the "article namespace".

I’ve recently started Draft:False humility on the English Wikipedia. However, due to limitations in my English skills and access to reliable sources in this language, I am unable to fully expand and improve it. Please help expand and prepare this article for publication in the "article namespace". Arbabi second (talk) 16:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Editing the Infant Cognitive Development article

I'm looking to add to the Infant Cognitive Development article, and have started drafting sections to add. Can someone look over my current drafts to make sure I'm writing correctly before publishing? Sylveon2603 (talk) 16:42, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic social media use article

The Problematic social media use article is exceptionally poor, and has been for some time, largely because it has been the subject of repeated student editing projects that have resulted in people adding material just for the sake of writing. The writing style reflects this, with a lot of school-essay style padding.

The article desperately needs tightening up, refactoring and copyediting; I think it could easily be reduced to half the length without losing anything of value.

Would anyone here be willing to take a look at it? — The Anome (talk) 08:55, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for comment: Short description of BPD.

Recently, a user added a short description to the article on Borderline personality disorder. As a result of me stating the opinion that the description was inadequate, I requested suggestions at the article's Talk page. A suggestion was proposed, namely "Personality disorder characterized by unstable emotions, relationships, and self-image", which was supported by others too. We decided to also request comments from others over here. Thanks in advance for thoughts on the matter! BlockArranger (talk) 17:57, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is “double bind” the same as “double-bind problem” or should there be an extra article for it?

Personality disorder

There are some pretty important conversations going on over at Talk:Personality disorder including Talk:Personality disorder#Significant lack of citations regarding the lack of citations throughout the article Talk:Personality disorder#Profound lack of information on PD assessment regarding where we seem to be lacking some information, and Talk:Personality disorder#Managment section which is my attempt at trying to make some improvements to the management section. Any input would be appreciated. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 16:05, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
