message: There is no evidence for Maslow being responsible for this theory: its attribution to him comes from an unreferenced edit on 26 December 2009. Since, an academic paper has now referenced this article's claim that Maslow is responsible for this theory. This undermines Wikipedia's credibility, as closer investigation reveals the claim to be totally unfounded. I would guess that the edit was due to a misremembered piece of reading. I intend to re-attribute the theory to Dr Thomas Gordon, citing several sources, and further improve the article.

message: User Gti123 edited the page to remove the passage on a fifth stage in the theoretical model. This fifth stage appears in much of the literature relating to this model, and was referenced. From the edit history, and the name, it looks as though this user may be related to Gordon Training International, from where the Four-stage model may have come. The fifth stage does not appear in their publications, but it does have encyclopaedic value, so I propose to put it back in the article. --Alasdair Forrest (talk) 09:59, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

message: An article titled "conscious competence learning model" (http://www.businessballs.com/consciouscompetencelearningmodel.htm#conscious-competence-theory-origins) tells of three sources of attribution, and claims that the earliest creation of the Four stages of competence is from the article 'Teaching for Learning' by Martin M. Broadwell, dated: February 20, 1969 – Jdmumma (talk) 07:06, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Something that's rather different from the Stage Ones shown here: the aggressive assertion of competence based on delusional notions of what it might look like.

thread_title:  Yeah, but what about delusions of adequacy? 

message: Currently (23 Oct 2014) the 4 stages of competence are listed together with an "alternative" 4 stages, but these seem absolutely identical except for one extra sentence that does not substantively change the content.  I advocate getting rid of this "alternative" section.

replies: text: Agreed.  Additionally, this "Alternate" section was entirely without references, while the first section has references.  I have deleted the section. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 14:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  4 stages and "alternative" seem identical 

message: If someone searches wikipedia for the "4" stages of competence, using the number, wikipedia acts like this article doesn't exist. This is a problem because it probably leads some people to believe there's no article on the topic. I didn't know why it wasn't coming up and only got back here by searching my web history. 24.190.214.204 (talk) 13:06, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  A search for "4 Stages of Competence" doesn't link here 

message: I believe moving the overview section into the lead would help the article to flow better. In this way, the information of the four stages of competence are actually being described before the history on the subject. DrFreeze00 (talk) 20:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
