A fact from Social Foundations of Thought and Action appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Albert Bandura's 1986 book Social Foundations of Thought and Action was said to contain "outlines of the grand theory" of human behaviour psychologists were seeking for over a century?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/April.

Proposal: Shorten the title of this page[edit]

I propose that we move this page from its current location at "Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory" to the shorter "Social Foundations of Thought and Action". This will make it easier to type and cite from elsewhere. What do others think? --Health Researcher (talk) 01:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I see from WP:Naming_conventions_(books)#Subtitles that WP style guidelines recommend "Usually, a Wikipedia article on a book does not include its subtitle in the Wikipedia page name. The only exception to that is short titles, for disambiguation purposes". This book title plus subtitle is clearly not short. Therefore I will soon proceed with the move, unless someone compellingly disagrees. Health Researcher (talk) 18:31, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
