Talk:Standard Cross-Cultural Sample

message: I plan to write a little page explaining them. Meanwhile, see Wikipedia:Citation templates for examples.--Ling.Nut 20:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Harvard citation templates

message: I propose moving this article to "Standard Cross-Cultural Sample." This should be done because this is the proper name for this academically published database. This database was re-published online under this same proper name. Other databases on Wikipedia are properly capitalized (including any irregular capitalizations) in their page names: Analytical Abstracts, Current Index to Statistics, DNA Data Bank of Japan, GenBank, Indian Citation Index, Russian Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, etc.
This would seem a noncontroversial page move, but I have witnessed other supposedly-noncontroversial page moves be heatedly opposed before, so I am starting here to provide opportunity for discussion before I move forward.

replies: text: Quick addendum: I somehow missed the improper capitalization in the section heading for the table. I would think that capitalization would be fixed as well. --Pinchme123 (talk) 15:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to "Standard Cross-Cultural Sample" 

message: I propose adding to the text near the end of the "Origin" section:
Murdock also founded the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) at Yale University in the 1940s. However, the SCCS contains a different set of cultures, uses a different set of ethnographic sources, and can be considered distinct from the HRAF. 
the following:
HRAF does maintain all the underlying ethnographic documents used by Murdock and White to code these cultures, plus additional sources for most, many more contemporary. The SCCS is selectable as a sample restriction on HRAF search engine for HRAF member organizations.  Summaries for each culture are available to the public at .
Discussion
This should not be controversial, except that I have to declare COIs in that I am VP of HRAF, which is the only real source for this information, and I am an editor for World Cultures, which is the current source for the SCCS. Following the passing of my mentor and colleague Douglas White, I am currently seeking an agreement to relocate World Cultures at HRAF to ensure a long term institutional base.
It is unlikely I can find a secondary source with all the information in the addition, simply because why would anyone include this information except in a Wikipedia page. I can reference a paper written by Carol Ember (President) and I that references SCCS in HRAF, https://kar.kent.ac.uk/63909/1/15.Big%20Data%20and%20Research%20Opportunities%20Using%20HRAF%20Databases%28Michael%20Fischer%20%29.pdf (p4) "Narrowing to a focal community and time period usually means that only those documents pertaining to the right foci are perused. HRAF has provided aids for this, such as marking the documents that match the foci for the Standard Cross-Cultural Sample, a commonly used cross-cultural sample (see http://hraf.yale.edu/resources/reference/sccs-cases-in-ehraf/)."
However, both Carol and I have COI in this matter.
Thanks

replies: text: Hi Mdfischer, I have added the  template to this section, which will add this request to the list of coi-related edit requests. There are editors who watch the list and likely have much more experience responding to coi edit requests than I have, so they will be able to better assist with your request. To those who come to check on this request, you can see the discussion section just above, which initiated this. --Pinchme123 (talk) 16:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Per WP:EL external links shouldn't be placed in the main body of an article, I'd suggest changing this to  with the link placed in the "External Links" section of the page.
I'd also like to suggest  -> . I'm also unsure about this bit , could this be reworded?
Once these issues are resolved I'm happy to proceed with the request, when you reply if you could ping me with an @ I'll respond as soon as possible.
