Spam

Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links or an opportunity for advertising your favorite organizations, academic journals, or graduate school programs. I have therefore deleted all of this non-encyclopedic information. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The information deleted helps define the subject matter. We should not vandalize Wiki entries under the rubric of combating spam. There is plenty of real spam to combat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.65.232 (talk) 22:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

How does the list of "other periodicals" that OHP practitioners like to read, and the (incomplete) list of places to study OHP contribute to the encyclopedic nature of the article? Do you really think that the general reader will be unable to understand what OHP is, without a partial list of universities that offer advanced degrees on the topic?

Also, please note that these sorts of lists are expressly rejected by Misplaced Pages's guidelines. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

External links again

Iss246,

Here's the relevant rule:

"External links should not normally be used in the body of an article."

When I look at the second and third paragraph of the article, I see a whole lot of external links used in the body of the article. I assume that you also see a whole lot of external links used in the body of the article. Having any external links like these in the body of the article is not appropriate by Misplaced Pages's style and content guidelines.

Therefore, this needs to be fixed. You have repeatedly objected to my efforts to improve the situation. How do you propose to make this article comply with the necessary guidelines? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I am aware of the rules, and I am aware that you mean well by getting in touch with me. The rules don't cover every situation. The situation here is that of an emerging discipline within the broader landscape of psychology. The idea I am trying to stress is that in a nascent discipline, the journals, particularly given their cross-disciplinary character, and the organizations help the reader understand the outlines of the discipline. With a more mature discipline within psychology (e.g., social psychology), there would be little need to stress the journals and the organization. In the case of OHP, the organizations have been part of the historical development of the discipline.Iss246 (talk) 00:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I disagree that OHP is still an emerging discipline, but why do we specifically need external links to the journals' websites in the introduction of this article? Isn't a list of the names of the journals sufficient for your stated purpose? Why aren't we linking to the Misplaced Pages articles for these journals?
