Shelby sharp (talk) 02:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)The article on Rensis Likert doesn't have a lot of background information and there are no listings of his personal achievements on the page at all. Two more references that would add a lot of detail and information to this article would be: 1. LIKERT, R. (1958), Effective Supervision: An Adaptive and Relative Process . Personnel Psychology, 11: 317–332. doi: 10.1111/j.1744-6570.1958.tb00020.x and 2. A technique for the measurement of attitudes.Likert, R. Archives of Psychology, Vol 22 140, 1932, 55. Two questions or comments I have regarding the article would be 1. I think I would want to start working on this article by gaining more information on Likert's personal achievements, and 2. What do you think would be the most important topic to cover for this article?Shelby sharp (talk) 02:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry I skipped you when answering questions. I did not know that your group had moved to this sandbox. I've given you credit. Most important topics would be his development of Likert scale and questionnaire methodology. Work for US government, including USDA and the US Strategic Bombing Survey in WWII. J.R.

1. I really think that we should add to the professional achievements section because there is nothing there. This is something that is very important on this page. 2. Likert, Rensis. (2012). Britannica Online Academic Edition. Conversation … with Rensis Likert. (1973). Organizational Dynamics, 2(1), 33-49. 3. I believe that we should add a photo and more to the opening paragraph because this is where the reader is going to get the most information from at first glance. It isn't very well done so I feel like if we make it more appropriate to our audience it will generate a better knowledge of him. Should we stress more on the books that he wrote or his theories? I feel like just because they are listed doesn't necessarily mean that people will look more into them?KeshaSavvyKeshaSavvy (talk) 04:56, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• See Wikipedia resources on Blackboard about adding pictures. You can list his books, but put more stress on his ideas. J.R. Council (talk) 19:42, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
