Wikipedia: Edit wars example[edit]

This edit war has to do with Abortion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abortion&offset=20120428135404&action=history

This edit meets the definition of an edit war because they are going back at each other about religious ethics and eugenics and undoing their revisions.


Textbook edit #1: Principles of Psychological Testing[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_testing


Proper psychological testing is conducted after vigorous research and development in contrast to quick web-based or magazine questionnaires that say "Find out your Personality Color," or "What's your Inner Age?" Proper psychological testing consists of the following:

  • Standardization - All procedures and steps must be conducted with consistency and under the same environment to achieve the same testing performance from those being tested.
  • Objectivity - Scoring is free of subjective judgments or biases based on the fact that the same results are obtained on test from everyone.
  • Test Norms - The average test score within a large group of people where the performance of one individual can be compared to the results of others by establishing a point of comparison or frame of reference.
  • Reliability - Obtaining the same result after multiple testing.
  • Validity - The type of test being administered must measure what it is intended to measure.

Textbook edit #2: How to Improve Performance Appraisals[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_appraisal


Although performance appraisals can be so easily biased, there are certain steps that can be taken to improve the evaluations and reduce the margin of errors through the following:

  • Training - Creating an awareness and acceptance in the people conducting the appraisals that within a group of workers, they will find a wide range in difference of skills and abilities.
  • Providing Feedback to Raters - Trained raters provide managers who evaluated their subordinates with feedback, including information on ratings from other managers. This reduces leniency errors.
  • Subordinate Participation - By allowing employee participation in the evaluation process, there is employee-supervisor reciprocity in the discussion for any discrepancies between self ratings and supervisor ratings, thus, increasing job satisfaction and motivation.
