Hi. I reverted your additions to the Big Five personality traits because they had some significant problems.

The study of personality has long been a cornerstone of psychology, seeking to unravel the mysteries of what makes individuals unique. Among the myriad of approaches to understanding personality, one framework stands out for its simplicity and robustness: the Big Five personality traits. These traits, often referred to as the Five Factor Model (FFM), provide a comprehensive framework for describing and understanding human personality. In this article, we delve into the Big Five model, exploring its origins, dimensions, and implications for understanding human behavior and individual differences.

A Wikipedia article is supposed to start with a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. It should generally open with something like Article title is... and go on to succinctly say what the topic is in the opening sentence.

What you don't want is this sort of an introduction. Even if someone just reads the first sentence of an article, they should come away with some useful knowledge about the specific topic.

Beyond that, your additions need inline citations that support the specific information that precedes the citation. Each paragraph should have at least one citation, and there should be no text after the final citation in a paragraph.

Walter Mischel's assertions in "Personality and Assessment" did indeed spark significant debate and controversy within psychology during the 1970s and beyond. [Emphasis added]

• "Did indeed" is the kind of persuasive tone you should avoid in Wikipedia articles
• "During the 1970s and beyond" is too vague. This is half a century - you need to make sure what you say is more time-bound.

However, it's important to note that while Mischel's ideas gained traction, they weren't universally accepted. [Emphasis added]

• This is both an opinion, and persuasive language. You should avoid that in Wikipedia writing.

These are just examples of the types of issues that exist throughout your additions.

Finally, Wikipedia's style front-loads the main points. You should try to start a section (and even a paragraph) with take-home message and then go forward with more detailed examples and explanations. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
