Expert articles are protected from general editting

These will be articles written by Expert contributors.

If you or someone you know is an expert who could contribute to the Psychology Wiki, please contact one of our administrators. The idea will be to develop our expert written articles alongside our community articles. We will attempt to create one Expert written article for each Featured Article.

If we can manage to get at least twelve expert articles per year, then we can have a new expert feateured article each month on the main page.

If we can manage to get at least 52 expert articles per year, then we can have a weekly expert featured article on the main page.

Featured Articles will be archived here.

Benefits of Expert written articles:

  1. Expert articles are protected from general editting. If expert articles were not protected, then people would come back (eventually) and change what the expert had written. This irritates most experts immensley as most experts are better qualified to write the article than most other contributors (even on this wiki). This is one of the chief complaints about Wikipedia by experts who have taken the time to contribute there.
  2. Having expert written articles will hopefully raise our credibility amongst the academic psychology community.
  3. However, if we replaced the community articles with expert written ones, it wouldn't really be following the spirit of wiki writing, which is why we believe that expert articles (in parallel to community articles) would be the best way forwards. This way we get the advantages of both approaches, while minimizing the disadvantages.
  4. The expert articles would inform the general reader and hence raise the quality of the community articles. Likewise, the community articles may actually contain information which the expert had not considered. There may be related concepts or perspectives in other papers, for example, that the expert had not encountered. Furthermore, an interpretation of their article by another reader might give them an idea that they may not have already had. All of our research and ideas come from reading other peoples ideas.
  5. Attracting expert guest writers will also attract more expert guest writers, (and more contributors), thus, in turn, further raising our readership, contributors and credibility.
