Talk:Explosive child

Update for Orphan Tag

Make a link back from Collaborative Problem Solving. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.234.81.205 (talk) 02:36, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Newbie article

I'm a newbie in wikipedia and this is my first article. I got this one tag 2 times for deletion by Blowdart. Seem to have good motivation to do so but I don’t understand why and I need help to fix that. I do not have any relation with the author of the same book Dr. Greene and no interest to make advertisement or commercial publicity related to this article.

For the talk, an explosive child behavior is a very difficult behavior of children which have incapacity to deal with contrariety. His frontal cortex is apparently not well developed and creates this weakness. The children will have frequent and not explained tempera which can be physical and psychologically arrestment to his environment. This is a different behavior compared to a child which just needs some attention. This can be also considered into the spectrum of Autism but I did not find any strong study about it.

In sum, I do not have a lot of information at this point about it and I prefer to just start the frame of the article to have the help of other specialists to complete it. So far, outside of the article about Collaborative Problem Solving, nothing is described into wikipedia about it. I think it is worth it to have it there but I do not have the right approach I guess.

In general, an article should have: 1) Reliable, secondary sources as a reference (see the verifiability guidelines. 2) Establish it's notability (see the notability guidelines. 3) Be written from a neutral point of view. It doesn't have to be done all at one, but a new article usually needs to have at least one source to get past the people who monitor new articles. If you have sources and need help establishing them in the article, I can help with that. Hope that helps. --UsaSatsui 17:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the advice. About the source, the connotation of explosive child or explosive Kids is more related to pop psychology than a very serious study. However, the treatment for that behavior is seem to be more serious and have a better documentation and reference about it which is called the Collaborative Problem Solving which is already part of wikipedia. So if I want this article to follow the guidelines, I'm not sure I get the notion of notability. As an example of notability; the fact Dr. Greene was invited at the show of Oprah in US and was toke as a reference, is that can be an example of notability? If yes, how should I give the reference or citation about it? web reference : http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/tows_2000/tows_past_20000218.jhtml --Chrix Bedard 18:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that source can be used. Look up WP:CITE to learn how to source things, and WP:CITET is a helpful page too...or I can do it for you when I have time. Notability, in short, means "It belongs in an encyclopedia", and it's established through sources. Basically, find things that discuss the subject and use those sources to write the article...the Opera cite and the book itself are good starts (though the book ideally should be by a recognized expert and not some nutjob stating his "personal opinion". --UsaSatsui 22:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ok, I did an update and I include the references (2). Please, if you can validate it, I will appreciate. I'm not sure I did it right, especially for the Oprah reference. Thanks for your help. --Chrix Bedard 04:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - That looks like a good start...yeah, you did it right. --UsaSatsui 16:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
