What is the significance of the reference to Thomas Franklin Moore on the first line?

an essay ('by' me) that describes a 'Four Component Needs theory' has been (for a longish time) publicised on the internet.
If I refer to this on the Wikipedia page, does that constitute an infringement of the Wikipedia rules/guidlines?
again, thanks

The wikilink points to an article on a sportsman, with no mention of any academic background. I take it this is the wrong Ian Gough?

Maybe I'm being terminally dumb, here, but what separates a "want" from a "psychological need" (or perhaps more tellingly, "subjective need")? Both are things that keep the organism emotionally happy and aren't typically found as motivators in those which lack the higher mental functions to conceive of spending energy to obtain something not absolutely vital for existence. Neither are actually crucial to survival or physical health, or even in some cases basic mental health. They just make your mood better, when you've already covered the actual, "if you don't get enough of this, you will literally die because your respiratory processes will pack up", literal needs. Note, for one thing, the way we have to teach children the difference between "I need" and "I want", and how the former is more likely to be satisfied so long as there's a reasonable basis behind it. If there is actually a separation between them I fancy it's quite fuzzy... 193.63.174.254 ( talk) 19:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
‘Unmet’ and ‘need’ seem to be very contradictory. If a need is unmet, but the organism survives, is the need actually a need? 2601:541:680:6B10:75FA:1DA2:6534:8875 ( talk) 07:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
