Talk:Anecdotal cognitivism

message: On 3 September 2006 Angusmclellan tagged this article, Anecdotal cognitivism, with Template:notability and Template:cleanup.  I agree 100% with the clean-up tag.  The notability tag is more problematic.  The discussion of a scientific term, maybe especially a 19th Century one as this one is, is not within the guidelines enumerated by the Template:notability tag.  However inartfully the editor expressed himself/herself, this methodology was the one that Darwin employed, as well as George Romanes and others, and it is in stark contrast to the Behaviorism research model that was the predominant one in the XXth Century.   I believe that it is important to document the history of science, especially since the pendulum often swings back, a classic example is Continental drift.  Is anyone aware of guidelines for :Category:History of science articles?  Unless Angusmclellan or others object, I will remove the notability tag but keep the clean-up tag.  The work of historiographic researchers like Colin Allen, D. Jamieson and M. Bekoff needs to be reviewed, and the connections to modern Ethology need to be explored in the literature. No, I am not suggesting original research, just a review of what exists.  Signed: Bejnar 02:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: On 13 October 2006 Ragesoss changed the category for this article from :Category:History of science to :Category:History of social sciences.  Since Social sciences deal with human behaviour and societies (at least according to the social sciences article), I question whether categorizing Anecdotal cognitivism, a method for interpreting animal behaviour, as a social science is correct.  Is there a branch of the social sciences which studies animal behaviour?  Is ethology a social science?  Bejnar 19:50, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: [Perhaps unjustly, perhaps not] ethology is a social science (in addition to a biological sciencce) in Wikipedia's classification system: ethology-->behavioural sciences-->social sciences.  I removed it from the History of science supercategory because that is too broad, but I don't have an objection to adding it to History of biology as well as or instead of History of social sciences.--ragesoss 21:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Take a look at ethology, which according to the article is distinct from comparative psychology; it seems like this would fall under the latter, in which case it would probably best be considered a History of social sciences topic.--ragesoss 21:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
