Workplace harassment

I plan on moving the Workplace harassment page to “Workplace Harassment in the United States” page, because the current page only focuses on the United States and I also plan to contribute the content that is specific to the US. If you have any other suggestions as to how I can better move the article, please let me know.

In addition to moving the article, I plan to delete some of the sections, such as “Responsibilities” and “Productivity”, and add new sections, such as “Definition”, “Victims”, “Impacts” and “Preventions”. I believe such change in the page will make the navigation of the page much easier and allow the content to be more specific. Also, I plan to significantly expand the reference section with more scholarly sources.

I would appreciate any kind of help with the article. I am also open to suggestions, so please let me know if there is anything I can do better. Thanks!

@Lindaticket: Looking at this article, I don't think you need to move it, it's pretty generic. You should probably write Workplace harassment in the United States from scratch. See also Harassment in the United Kingdom for a so-so layout on a related topic. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

@Piotrus:: Hi, Piotrus. Lindaticket also left a note on Talk:Workplace harassment and the response there was that it would be better to leave the material in that article than starting a subarticle. I think so long as the material in the current article is left in place (it's fairly generic, as you say), it's up to Lindaticket which she would prefer to do -- start a new article or expand the old one. FYI, I'm supporting the course Lindaticket is enrolled in. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:48, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

One of your project's articles has been featured

Hello, Please note that Garbage picking, which is within this project's scope, has been selected as one of Today's articles for improvement. The article was scheduled to appear on Misplaced Pages's Community portal in the "Today's articles for improvement" section for one week, beginning today. Everyone is encouraged to collaborate to improve the article. Thanks, and happy editing! Delivered by Theo's Little Bot at 01:00, 30 March 2015 (UTC) on behalf of the TAFI team

Large scale changes to multiple articles

There have been recent massive refactorings of articles egocentrism, obedience (human behavior) and minority influence, at least some of which are in this project's scope. Similar changes to another article, egocentric bias, were reverted by JorisvS with an edit summary of "rv: too many poor-quality edits". I'm therefore drawing attention to these other edits as well, so that you can ensure quality of these articles is not compromised. Regards, Samsara 02:19, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Yes, this is legit. Article is a decent start, though further development & referencing needed. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 13:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Let's merge slum and shantytown

See my rationale at Talk:Slum#Merge_with_shanty_town. As nearly two weeks have gone without anyone comment, I'd appreciate if members of this project (for which those articles are in scope) would take a look at this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:24, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
