Guidance on what the name of a list that contains these entries should be?

[icyflame]

These are kind of the things that I want to add to this list :-

1. Dunning-Kruger effect
2. Hanlon's Razor
3. Murphy's Law
4. Stockholm Syndrome
5. Flow - psychology

Some of the things that are common about these entries are :-

1. Some of them are related to Programming, Open Source. (1, 2, 3)
2. All of them are one of Adages, Aphorisms, Psychological syndromes,
   Psychological principles.
3. They are easy to understand, and behavior starts to make sense after
   understanding their gists. (Especially with 1, 2, 4, 5)

I thought about naming the list :-

1. awesome-behaviour : Almost everything on the lit is related with behaviour,
   except for entries like 3.
2. awesome-psychology : Entries list 2 and 3 do not fit.

So, I would like your opinion on :-

1. Does an awesome list feel justified?

   I do believe that a list must exist that has a list of all these things. Although, I think that the content is very fragmented. As there are a lot of things that could be part of this list, and the list could probably end up being called awesome-miscellaneous.

2. Do you think that Wikipedia is the right source to link to, for entries like above?

   I am slightly uncomfortable about using WikiPedia as the only source, because content keeps changing, and there's no concrete verification of the information being entered. Would you rather that the list have a link to the Wikipedia page, alongwith the link to a paper/article in a respected journal / blog post by a respected person in the field, along with the entry? This would make the list harder to build, and accept contributions to, but I guess it would be worth it, as everything there would actually be curated.

   Of course, this list would be something that you can consume in your free time and get to know
   more, so, in that perspective, Wikipedia seems good enough.

P.S. I have read the Awesome manifesto, and the contributing guidelines for some awesome lists. Yet, I remain indecisive.

1. I think it's a good idea. Though I can see how easy it would be to lose focus and end up being a misc list. It will need a clear tagline and contributing.md of what's acceptable, but also a good judgement on PRs. It's important that the list not only contain a list of links but a good succinct description of each item and why you should care.
2. Wikipedia is generally an ok source. I think it should also come with other good vetted sources about an item, preferably something less dry and more easily readable than Wikipedia.

Some name suggestions:

• awesome-behaviorism
• awesome-social-science
• awesome-social-psychology

Thanks for your suggestions! I will get the list up and running as soon as I get some free time!
