Copyvio?

The first sentence seems like a direct quote from a book, but I'm not sure how to confirm that. Can somebody look into this? 172.110.168.234 (talk) 04:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The writer quotes and cites the source of the quote. I think it is unusual for a WP entry to begin with a long quote although the sentence looks to be within the rules of WP. However, the quote seems to come from Gianpiero Petriglieri rather than Steve Rogelberg. Please check.Iss246 (talk) 03:16, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It also adds basically nothing (basically marketing fluff, but for psychology), do you think I should just cut it out and replace it with a generic "it's a field of psychology"? 172.110.168.234 (talk) 21:22, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:172.110.168.234, you are new to WP. Take a shot at editing the opening. Chances are that you will improve it. And if you decide to keep part of the quote, please ensure you cite the correct writer(s). Iss246 (talk) 02:51, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
