[edit] Wizard (psychology) proposed for deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Wizard (psychology), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Wizard (psychology). If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Muchness 04:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reincarnation

Hello Max - thank you for your recent edits to the Reincarnation article. At times it can become a bit of a dumping ground for all kinds of 'mildly relevant' theories, making the page unreadable & uneditable as a whole. I appreciate your help in keeping it more to the point. Best Wishes, ys GourangaUK 10:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Paranormal

Hi! I saw you've been actively making a lot of good edits in an article covered by our project, so I wanted to invite you to join us! The project is undergoing a large expansion right now, and we need quality editors! We are a WikiProject with the goal of improving the quality of articles having to do with Ufology, Cryptozoology, the Supernatural, and other topics. We provide a centralized forum for concerns that effect multiple articles within our scope, as well as methods to rate and categorize articles by quality, get input on how to improve an article from our other members, and a collaborative project once a month where the whole project pitches in to make an article great. You won't be required to do anything special once you join; all that we ask of members is that they sign our participants page, though if you do join you may also find it useful to add some of our pages (especially our main talk page to your watchlist to keep yourself apprised of what we're up to. If you have questions about any of this, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your time, and happy editing! --InShaneee 15:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Diandra

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Diandra, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Diandra seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Diandra, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Diandra itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recovered memory and Recovered Memory Therapy

Hey Max, you might consider having a look at what has been done to Repressed memory and Recovered Memory Therapy. The first now has twice as much material "in support" than critical of it, the second has a section entitled Critics of the term RMT which is mostly a colorful essay justifying RMT and rambling on how RMT has been so deeply misunderstood recently, including content such as "Opponents of repressed memory are what the law considers, at best, a respectable minority under the two schools of thought doctrine", and furthermore such endless unverified, not sufficiently sourced nor directly applicable ramblings as a full paragraph of colorful essay in support as this:

Child sexual abuse occurs frequently in Western society. [...] Questioning the validity of allegations made by children is the most common form of denial. Child sexual abuse has a difficult burden of proof in criminal courts. [...] False retractions are also common. [...] The denial of offenses is strong among men that commit sexual offenses. Many continue to deny their offenses even after conviction. It is suggested that parents have consistently underestimated the seriousness of their child’s distress when compared to accounts of their own children. Adults that were abused as children may be reluctant to disclose their abuse if they are attached to their offender.

The talkpages of both articles is filled with posts by users such as Abuse truth, west world, and Biaothanatoi, claiming that any criticism about the whole concept was nothing but a "nasty backlash" and "propaganda" by "pro-incest activists" who seek "decriminalisation of paedophilia". --Tlatosmd 11:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
