Hi Martin, thanks for the welcome cookies and for the helpful edits to the Onboarding page. They're greatly appreciated as all four of us (the iOParty team, robertpersaud and I) are all newcomers to Wikipedia. Have a great day! Brianrangell (talk) 16:57, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Martin! I too feel very warm about being greeted as a newcomer! It's great to start feeling part of the team and such original cookies inspire me! Irina Pertsel (talk) 04:23, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Social Psychology

Hi Martin. Any rationale for downgrading social psychology to a C rating? It seems like it's in better shape than most C articles I've seen. I'm going to put it back at a B, but let's discuss this on the talk page if you have specific criticisms or suggestions. Best regards, Jcbutler (talk) 13:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I just noticed the citation requests in the article. I'll look for some additional references in these areas. --Jcbutler (talk) 18:16, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Article on Eleanor Maccoby

Firstly, many thanks for the notification of What You Can Do to Help at Wikipedia: WikiProject Psychology. I saw there was a request for an article on Eleanor Maccoby there, and I have now created one. However, as I admit on the talk page of the article, developmental psychology is not my field, so the article is a mess at present. Does any one Wikipedia: WikiProject Psychology know enough about Maccoby to expand the article? Many thanks, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:24, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your work in support of the project- it's much appreciated. I can't help with developmental articles myself: the Talk page of the Wikiproject is the right place for this request. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks

Many thanks for putting up the tag to say that the article on Eleanor Maccoby is under the auspices of Wikipedia: WikiProject Psychology. Great news - I am also impressed by how quickly the WikiProject group put the stub and low importance tags there, too. I am aware that Maccoby's contributions are outside my main fields in psychology, so if you know of any Wikipedia: WikiProject psychology members who know about her, perhaps you could invite them to expand the article. Again, many thanks, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:09, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you also for saying that All in the Mind is now under the auspices of Wikipedia: WikiProject Psychology. You seem to be a star and key player of that WikiProject group! ACEOREVIVED (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, can you review The GA nominee --Vinie007 16:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, this isn't in my area. Best of luck with it, MartinPoulter (talk) 09:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Good article review begun (Talk:Social identity/GA1)

Per the heading, I've begun the good article review at Talk:Social identity/GA1. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 03:05, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks! MartinPoulter (talk) 09:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

In response to your fb post - how does it make you feel? — Rod talk 20:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Bristol Wiki Academy

Thanks for the (virtual) beer. How did the Bristol Wiki Academy go today? Sorry I couldn't be with you in person.— Rod ^talk 19:15, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Very well indeed thanks. A small but packed room: they only took their first steps in wiki-editing, but there was a lot of enthusiasm and understanding for the wider social significance of the Wikimedia projects. MartinPoulter (talk) 19:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Could you look into this?

Gerry Armstrong (activist) has posted a rather lengthy statement at the L Ron Hubbard talk page. I am trying to read through it all but am having a bit of hard time understanding with clarity what the issues are. Would you mind assisting Gerry since you took the lead on the recent FA review?

hey, coauthor!

Good to see you here. Cheers and thanks for getting us in CHEER some time back. Coauthoring's easier, here. -- Econterms (talk) 08:22, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks...

Hi Martin: I've been meaning to write for days to thank you for the note you left on my talk page, letting me know that I'd mistaken Andy's comments to Snowman as being directed to me. I'd already read Andy's note, where he had cleared that up, but also appreciate your efforts to smooth things over. Dust has settled and we've all moved on. I hope things continue to go well with the project. MeegsC | Talk 02:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Question regarding confirmation bias

Hi Dr. Poulter, Thanks for your excellent work on the confirmation bias article. In a response to me you wrote "In order to reflect up-to-date sources, we can't just rely on Wason's original definition. The definition used by the article comes from a recent university-level textbook. Other sources explicitly mention assimilation and perseverance as phenomena arising from conf. bias"

I was wondering what source you talking about specifically (Risen and Gilovech, 2007?). Also if you know of any great up to date sources regarding the confirmation bias, I would love to read them.

Thanks, Jeff

P.S. I'm not sure if it was there prior or added following my inquiry but I noticed there is a brief line suggesting that some researchers use it only to refer to the seeking of confirmatory information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffrotman (talk • contribs) 07:31, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Knowle West, Bristol

Hi Martin. I have nominated this for peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Knowle West, Bristol/archive1 as I would like to take it to WP:FAC. Any comments that would help achieve this will be most welcome. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:54, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Very useful day so far!

--RGForbes (talk) 13:04, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Enjoying talk. Thank you.--Alex Ruislip (talk) 13:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

September 1st meeting at the IOP

Hello Martin

Thanks for organising the meeting last thursday. I got a 3-year reader's pass at the British Library after the meeting. I was surprisd that Wikipedia and the British Library do not have tghis as an automatic agreement, though they were happy to help.

Thank you 17:54, 2 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunstand123 (talk • contribs)

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your note - I certainly found the meeting rewarding and pending work commitments, would be happy to assist in similar meetings.

Regards Martinvl (talk) 16:42, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Martin !

At the IOP meeting I said I would write to you with some further comments about some of the "electricity" pages on Wikipedia (in particular that about "voltage"). In the event, I've got rather busy. So I'll get back to you some other time, probably not soon.

Regards
