Behavioral Game Theory
[edit]- ... that behavioral game theory studies the decisions people make in an experimental setting?
Created/expanded by Griffoman444 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:12, 27 April 2015 (UTC).
- Note: page renamed behavioral game theory in keeping with WP naming conventions. Hook should be updated accordingly. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 12:59, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I took the liberty of fixing the hook capitalization and the lack of categories in the article. In any case, it is new enough (moved from user sandbox to article space on the nomination date), long enough, well-sourced, and appears to describe the subject neutrally. The hook is sourced (e.g. in the lead section) to an offline source, but that's ok per WP:AGF and in any case there is no room for doubt about its accuracy. Spot-checking found no issues with copied prose or close paraphrasing. This appears to be the nominator's first article, so there is no QPQ needed.
- However, the "Examples of games used in behavioral game theory research" section is completely unsourced; it's only a list of links, but the links go to articles that do not necessarily mention the behavioral game theory aspects of those example games. I think this section needs, for each of the games listed, a reference for the fact that this game has been used in this subject (either a survey that mentions it or it would be ok to cite primary research sources for this purpose). —David Eppstein (talk) 06:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
This nomination appears to be an academic submission for a course run by Prof Haeffel. The nominator has not edited since this nom and many college DYKs tend to go abandoned once the course has finished. Unless anyone cares to salvage this, marking for closure.
