[edit] Overlap with Near-death experience article

This article already contains (and will contain even more) material that overlaps with the article on Near-death experience. This is unavoidable considering the common interest of both articles. My suggestion is to let the article on Near-Death Studies focus on the distinct school of academic research known as Near-Death Studies (its theory-building, its instruments, its journals and its professionals) while the other article, Near-death experience, handles the broader subject of near-death experiences viewed from professional and popular standpoints. --Hawol 16:07, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Simpson ref.

I have removed the reference to Simpsons (2001) article since he is not so closesly associated to the the field of Near-death studies as the other authors that are mentioned in the list of references. --Hawol 10:44, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Peake ref.

Peake A, "Cheating The Ferryman - A New Paradigm of Existence?". Journal of Near Death Studies, Vol.23 No 2 (2004)

I have removed this reference from the reference section, since it is not cited in the text. The reference section is reserved for titles that are cited in the text. --Hawol 13:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
