It has been suggested that this page should be merged with Big Five personality traits. I can see the logic behind this. The work on this page is obviously an extension of that work. This page goes into sufficient depth on its topic (hierarchical structure) that I don't think it's material should be fully merged into that, much broader topic. A better solution to my mind would be to add a brief section to the Big Five providing a cursory overview of this material and a link to this fuller treatment.

I'm planning to remove the suggestion that this page be merged with Big Five personality traits and culture as these are not the "same topic" by any stretch, and it would be inappropriate to merge the two. Armsbf11 ( talk) 20:01, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the introduction to this article to add context for those unfamiliar with the topic? Armsbf11 ( talk) 23:49, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Couple thoughts dude, first, careful with your use of "these" in the second paragraph of your opening. I followed you, but you almost lost me there in your third sentence: "As the sub-level of a hierarchy, these traits can be said to be made up of these aspects or facets." Might be just me, but reread it at least. With regard to expanding your introduction, I would just look to your article itself. From what I understand the opener should touch on everything in your article, so I would just go through and add a sentence or two for each of the headings.

So I think your article is really good, but it is a little bit over the head of the average wiki user. I think that people who are somewhat versed in psychology (senior undergrad majors, at least), will have no problems reading it, but you use jargon like "top-down organization" and stuff like that that may not be clear to people who aren't as familiar with those terms/constructs/ideas. I think your intro hook should be in the simplest terms possible--I was a little confused as to what this was by just reading the intro, and I knew what you were writing about. I know that when I read wikipedia articles, I rarely move past the intro, so you really need to get your basic explanation out there as quickly and simply as possible. Other than simplifying things, I think you're pretty solid. I think that simplifying it will also get rid of your tag.
