For discussion of the STQ

Editing references on this page

For those editors who wonder about the references to the papers published in American Journal of Psychology - this is one of the oldest journal in psychology, and not one of the new online journals.Sulisw (talk) 01:58, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Might be a case of vandalism that should be reported

The user JzG called "Guy" (Guy) continues deleting the reference to American Journal of Psychology and now launched a discussion for a deletion of the page implying that the neutrality rule was violated. We suggest reading the material first: the authors of the STQ are Rusalov (mainly) and Trofimova (derivative), but none of them are main contributors. Yet, the page on this matter should be submitted by someone who knows the material. This is encyclopedia after all. The user Guy makes cuts and changes without justifying them or commenting anything in this talk page. I am going to revert changes (again!) - if you decide to have cuts please justify your actions. I understand that you want to improve the quality of the Wiki, so I suggest the same quality control over other Wikipedia pages related to psychological tests (much less verified by neurophysiological theories than the STQ). Here is the list for such important checking: Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, Revised NEO Personality Inventory,16PF Questionnaire,Self-Directed Search, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory,Synthetic Aperture Personality Assessment,Personality Assessment Inventory,Temperament and Character Inventory,Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire, Karolinska Scales of Personality, and other pages on psychological tests. I also suggest to ask the authors of the page Temperament test to rename it as that page is about testing dogs, but the title can be used for tests of human temperaments.

By "continues to" you mean that I reverted your edit and then self-reverted after cross-checking and finding that you were right. Feel free to report this as vandalism, but with you being a single purpose account and me being an admin, it might not go far. Guy (Help!) 19:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1) I found that you indeed reverted the changes, so my apologies for not noticing it, however 2) your last comment sounds like an abuse of power and not very constructive. It doesn't list issues that make the STQ page unfit for Wikipedia. With power comes responsibility. The "deletion" tag is not justified, and the STQ page has significantly less grounds for being deleted, in comparison to the pages listed above. Please review the page again and, please, remove the "deletion" tag. I understand that your position of admin is often stressful, and it is easy to overlook the difference between an informative page and self-advertising. This page is just an information about most distributed test (among psychologists) in Russia that was adapted in Canada, USA and Australia in 1980-90s. However, this test is a professional test, so only professional psychologists know about it, so it is useful for general public to be aware of it. Hopefully it will help to clear the air.
