Talk:Crisis

message: The "Information Security" section is nonsensical. 
For example, the article states that "[i]n InfoSec Crisis is the present tense of a disaster."
I would take issue on several points. First, nouns do not have a present tense. Only verbs do. Second, the use of the abbreviation "InfoSec" seems out-of-place; I am not used to seeing fields of professional activity abbreviated this way in WikiPedia. Maybe I am misunderstanding the nature of this (very narrow) section of the article. 
Finally, the InfoSec section seems very narrow to me, as if it is specific to a single certification or book. I think that allowing Information Security to become narrow and parochialized in this way is probably not a good thing. I don't think that the hackers and fraudsters of the world are sitting around thinking up official definitions for "crisis" and "disaster." 
If there is a need to provide information related to this specific certification, book, or whatever, it should be done under a narrower heading, and the factual and formatting errors cleaned up.
-----
In light of above comments, which are several weeks old and unaddressed, I am removing the "InfoSec" portion.

message: This page does not meet the standards of an encyclopedia entry. There is already a superb Wiktionary entry for Crisis.
In addition, Wikipedia has numerous pages refering to crises, including the Crisis disambig page. The disambig page accomplishes all that this page does and much more.  This page should be deprecated and redirected to the Crisis (disambiguation) page.

text: I disagree -- Crisis is a disputed term (for instance, Koselleck's "Critique and Crisis"); a wikipedia entry on crisis could describe some of the debate.  I DO agree that the current entry is more of an expanded dictionary entry, but it could (and should!) be developed into something more.   Begeun (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove this entry 

message: Everything that is in bold was added to the page.
I chose to add a new section to this article entitled "Ways to Manage a Crisis". I did this because I found that the article was lacking some information, specifically for helping people who are in a crisis or for individuals who are trying to assist them through it. I elaborated on various techniques for going about of a crisis intervention. Additionally, I also added information on an important communication technique for when dealing with a crisis, which is active listening. I made sure that all the information in this section was from credible sources. I'd love some feedback. Sb10ok (talk) 00:08, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: New additions and comments

message: Good Evening Crisis Group, as a fellow student I would like to provide feedback on the information presented in your talk page of the article. I will split it into each sub heading and have an overall feedback section as well. 
:Definition:You made some great additions to the opening, and it allowed be to gain a better understanding of crisis without being too lengthy. Great job! However, I have a few tweaks to mention. In the first sentence, I would incorporate the person, so perhaps "in which the ability for one to cope.." is more appropriate. There is also a small typo in the third line, as which is repeated. Also on line three, the sentence "When one is in a place that is considered to be a crisis situation" the word place would better be expressed as setting. Finally, when stating "There are many ways by which crisis can be detected." it would be beneficial to have at least one example that is later discussed in the article under "Personal". Take my suggestions as you wish, all the best in your edits. 
:Personal:Awesome content! You really nailed how one can cope and observe themselves during crisis. It looks to me that the first sentence is repeated from the definition addition. Is this purposeful, as in you want to reiterate that point? Change as you wish. In your first to second line of the second paragraph, the sentence "As it is outside of their normal range of functioning, it is common to see a struggle to control emotions." could be considered for review as I found "to see" unnecessary. You could potentially change it to "...it is common to struggle with control over emotions". On the third line of the second paragraph I found "One such resource..." to be very awkward and would suggest removing such, and add often following resource. I really enjoyed reading this section, take my suggestions as you wish. All the best in your edits. 
:Ways to Manage..: Congrats on your edits, you are almost done! However, I have a few suggestions for you to take as you wish. I found most of the information in this section to be repeated from the section personal, and that may be due to use of same sources. For instance, coping mechanisms and social support group suggestion were aforementioned, and that can be frustrating for a reader so I would suggest collaborating into Personal and maybe renaming it "Personal ways to manage...". I loved the intergration of RNAO's ABC model, and that could be something made separate or brought into collaboration with Personal. Since listening would no longer fit in "Personal ways to manage..." perhaps you could make a nothing sub heading around the idea of listen, perhaps "Benefits of listening in crisis". Finally, titles/subheadings on Wikipedia are to be all lower case after the first word, this was brought to my attention and I thought I would bring it to yours! Great work, take my suggestions as you see fit. 
:Overall: I found your contributions to be great, and they improved flow and content quality of the article for sure. Your sources look to be credible which is important in Wikipedia's good article criterion. Keep up the good work, and take upon suggestions as you wish. sf13yg  (talk) 16:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Feedback from Classmate

message: Links are provided in the 'Political crisis' section but I think that some information should also be added to the section as in my opinion it makes the section look bare when it has no information in it. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 22:06, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
