~~Please fix close paraphrasing with this pdf~~

@Catrìona: After reviewing the linked pdf, it seems to be a jumble of words and phrases related to intergroup relations possibly assembled by a bot. It is possible the close paraphrasing is a result of a web bot using language from the intergroup relations wikipedia page to populate that pdf. Since the pdf is nonsensical and does not seem to have been written by a human, I'm going to leave the section as is. Peter.h.fisher (talk)

~~There are a few statements missing a citation:~~

These students include Anthony Greenwald, Stanley Milgram, and Thomas Pettigrew.
Muzafer Sherif's research on the psychology of group conflict was informed by his experiences observing and studying discrimination and social pressures in the United States and in Turkey.

@Catrìona: Added citations for both of these statements. Peter.h.fisher (talk)

I am not sure that the hook is interesting. Could you maybe give a more specific, vivid example?

@Catrìona: Added in three more alternate hooks. Peter.h.fisher (talk)

Some of these may be alright, although borderline. I will let the promoter decide. Catrìona (talk) 04:30, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
