Hello Wikipedia! I'll be working through some updates to this page over the next month as an assignment for a class. I'm planning to expand the explanations of the social heuristics hypothesis and other considerations about the origins of social heuristics, add to the discussion on bounded rationality and how social heuristics fit in with a dual-systems approach to cognition, and flesh out the examples. This is my first time editing on Wikipedia, so please feel free to provide any feedback or advice. Thanks!

Hi Wikipedia! I just copied over my edits and additions from my sandbox, and did a bit of re-organizing of the page. The additions were mostly pasted from my sandbox User:Mwla20/sandbox - I apologize that I did not include that link in my edit summaries while I was doing it. Like I said above, this is my first time editing here on Wikipedia, so I look forward to any feedback on my additions and restructuring of the page. Thanks!

Thanks for your work on this article!  I've removed the tag because I don't think it is ready for GA review yet. Unfortunately, there is still quite a bit of content in the article where it is not clear what the source is, failing the verifiability requirement. Once that is addressed, the GA nomination can be restored. (t · c) buidhe 02:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your review and your notes, User:buidhe. I have added citations where noted in the body of the article, and will resubmit! Mwla20 (talk) 03:39, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I'm opening a Good Article Nomination review. Hoping to complete the review over the next couple of days. I'll be using the template below. Thanks! Ganesha811 (talk) 18:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

@Ganesha811: The nominator (who edited for a college class that has since ended) hasn't edited since December, so you might want to make sure they're still available before you put too much time into this review. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Extraordinary Writ, thanks, I'll drop a note on their talk page. Ganesha811 (talk) 19:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello Ganesha811. Although this is not my field of specialization, I am interested in sociology. I will be available to address your points, should the original nominator not respond. — The Most Comfortable Chair 11:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
The Most Comfortable Chair, thanks! The original nominator has confirmed that they're active and should be around, but I appreciate the offer. Ganesha811 (talk) 01:40, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Mwla20, I've wrapped up my first run-through of the GA review. Please take a look - overall, it's in a good place, but there are a few issues to address/changes to be made. Thanks! Ganesha811 (talk) 13:16, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Mwla20 - hi! I hope that you will see this message and be able to respond to some comments on the GA review. If not, in a couple days, I'll ask another editor to step in and work with me. Hopefully we can get the article to GA status one way or the other. Ganesha811 (talk) 14:11, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Mwla20, any updates? You'd mentioned you will hopefully have time to edit the article soon. Thanks! Ganesha811 (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ganesha811! I updated the lead a bit to make sure the definition of a heuristic was clear. I also defined the term "agent" in the examples section - good catch on that! I was able to find one academic paper about cross-cultural variation related to the social heuristics hypothesis, and another about social roles, but if there were other specific sources you had in mind for these topics let me know. Additionally, I wasn't able to find anything about why people might override social heuristics when looking on GoogleScholar (maybe what you were seeing was about heuristics in general?). If you have a link for that I'm happy to check that out! Thanks so much for your thoughtful review!! Mwla20 (talk) 01:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Mwla20, thank you! I'll take another look and see if I can dig up some of those links. Ganesha811 (talk) 23:52, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
