Fair use rationale for Image:1. Mindless Eating Cover - Brian Wansink.jpg

Image:1. Mindless Eating Cover - Brian Wansink.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mindless Eating[edit] The Mindless Eating page is interesting because it is about a book written by a Cornell professor regarding a very pertinent nutrition and psychology topic. The content of the book is not fully fleshed out and could be improved. The list of chapters did not seem to fit the rest of the Wikipedia page; it was somewhat distracting because no other information. I would suggest either taking that out or adding summaries of each chapter.

The best section of the article is the "Mindless Eating Challenge" and "Effectiveness" paragraphs because they provide the most factual information while still being easy to read. The paragraphs on "psychology" and "environment" could use more specificity in the actual studies that Dr. Wansink wrote about.

In terms of maintaining a neutral viewpoint, I think this is the most lacking area. The majority of the references are of Dr. Wansink's work which only provides one perspective and body of work. Incorporating other researchers could help balance this out.

More logistical adjustments need to be made as well; many of the citation links are no longer active. This means that many of the claims made in the body of the article are not supported. Saritaben (talk) 23:17, 17 March 2018 (UTC)saritaben[reply]
