Name of this article should be "K. Anders Ericsson," the name the scholar uses in his publications

edit

Similarly, the bibliography entries need to be cleaned up. His name abbreviated with the letter "K." comes before his name "Anders." I'll get to this if no one else does after I learn about the consequences of renaming an article. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 20:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

'Nuther Editorial Intrusion

edit

At the end of the article we come upon one of those pretty little editors' boxes:

Stub icon This biography of an American psychologist is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

I think the article is perfectly adequate for a first rate but not exactly history-changing academic, and wonder whether the editor might be suffering from some sort of obsession or ideological fixation.

Fixed. I've given this biography page a Psychology project rating of high importance, and a quality rating of start class. It is on my watchlist and I can expand it over the next several months. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 15:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Death

edit

It seems that Dr. Ericsson may have died yesterday. Does anyone have a reliable source to reference? Without one, the changes may need to be reverted. - Indefensible (talk) 21:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Washington Post has released a statement on Anders Ericsson's death. 2601:640:C600:3C20:3D5A:1DDA:53E4:4D1B (talk) 14:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Query

edit

On June 17, American psychologist Gordon H. Bower and Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson, the subject of this article both died coincidentally. In the Career section of this article is a line, "in G.H. Bower (Ed.), The psychology of learning and motivation, (Vol. 16). New York: Academic Press)." which looks out of place. Does anyone know if there is a connection or is it a mistake? Editrite! (talk) 10:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
