Talk:Semir Osmanagić

message: As archaeology is a true profession requiring extensive education, training, and experience, isn't it biased to use this term to describe Osmanagić, even with the qualifier "hobby"?  It's like saying someone is a hobby surgeon.
At the same time, wouldn't pseudoarchaeolgist, pyramidologist or especially pseudohistorian be more descriptive and unbiased terms, given what his publications? (Ronz 01:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's reasonable to refer to non-professionals engaged in archaeological digs as "hobbyist" or "amateur" archaeologists. On the other hand, adding "pseudo" in front of a title or profession someone claims is making a POV judgement. — JEREMY 02:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like positive bias to me.  He's not just engaged in a dig, he's the one justifiying it, raising the funds, and claiming he has the expertise to know what is there.  He's a hobby surgeon doing open heart surgery, telling everyone that it all going well.  (Ronz 23:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that's the main point. It certainly does not belong in the lead as it isn't something he's known for, although his being a faculty member should be in the article somewhere, with no title unless the university's site gives one. Please note we should not have PhD after his name anywhere. Dougweller (talk) 20:33, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for actually explaining that. But I am still not sure that this establishes that they are the same person. There is an element of Synthesis Source A says he has a PhD, source B says that some one with a similar name has a PhD so they must be the same person. I could find any number of people with my name, but they are not all me. We need sources that make if clear where (and when as his own site says he received the Degree three years before in 2007) he got his degree, not a synthesis of sources. That he has a PhD seems clear (and Doug says that he knows it was from Sarajevo from an offsite contact) but we need verifiable sources for this. I would also add that the current source is very poor because any one clicking the link is taken to a blank page. They have to then search for a date (which there is no instruction to do in out link) so it will appear to be an unsourced claim.Slatersteven (talk) 14:48, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The current link to Google Translate is fairly direct. This interview  (in Serbo-Croatian) also hints that he has the dissertation in preparation; it is favorable to Osmanagić, but I think we can safely presume that is him. His first name is not particularly frequent, so a possibility of a namesake is negligible. No such user (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That interview is five years old. I added a direct link to his dissertation a few hours ago along with some of its content on the front page. Dougweller (talk) 17:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: His PhD is rather bogus. The two professors that served on his thesis committee have never published a single paper or a book on the subject of Mayas. Besides, the University of Sarajevo has been in a lot of troubles recently, the corruption of their faculty amongst other things. Also, his Masters was in economics.

message: This is a new private university. Osmanagic seems to be on the faculty, but I'm at a loss to understand this summer school  on Bosnian megalithic sites. It says  INSTRUCTOR:  Dr.sci. Sam Semir Osmanagic (although he has no qualifications in archaeology), and the reading list beggars belief:
- Osmanagich, Sam (2011), Pyramids around the World, Foundation APBPS 
- Swelim, N. (2011), The Pyramids, Pyramid Study and Construction, The Bradshaw Foundation,

Swelim's ok, but the rest are either fringe or a very conservative historian quoted by conspiracy theorists.

thread_title:  American University In Bosnia And Herzegovina 

message: I've removed this from the lead. It is clearly not his primary occupation and I'm puzzled at the title. Yes, he's running (along with a couple of other fringe authors) a summer school at the new private university the American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a basically undergraduate institution with no social sciences departments, and his PhD is in sociology. But this isn't a professorship as we know it.

thread_title: Smithsonian's comment on his book

message: Can Osmanagich be considered a 'Bosniak'/'Bosnian Muslim', etc.? There is no evidence (to my knowledge) that he self-professes as any of these (although there is evidence that he is a follower/admirer of numerous New Age religions), and I believe he is from a 'mixed marriage'. His father (from whom his Muslim surname comes) is Atheist, and I think his mother is/was Catholic. I'd feel more comfortable if religious/ethnic categorization was omitted in the Categories section at the bottom of the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.80.42.181 (talk) 16:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Categories 

message: We have no reliable sources saying that the American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina does indeed offer anthropology or archaeology program or a course even. For example, their official Calendar would be one such acceptable source. Because their list of Academic Majors lists neither anthropology nor archaeology in the lists of majors and courses (use the right-column menu to open Java tables with every single course they offer from undergraduate to doctoral, in all four undergrad divisions, both Masters divisions, and all three doctoral divisions).
As far as we can tell, calling Mr. Osmanagić a "professor of anthropology" is his own claim, or a webmaster's deed if it was picked from some of the school's pages as I suspect happened here. In either case, his title as presently stated in the article is unofficial, and therefore unreliable as well. We need a reliable source, or else I move to delete his professorial title as currently shown. After the reference to his membership in a Russian academy (a private company called academy) was removed because it was confusing general audiences into believing he's a member of the national Russian Academy of Sciences, the professorial title remained the crux of this article, making Mr. Osmanagić appear as a distinguished scientist with perhaps strange ideas. That would be a largely inaccurate portrayal if no reliable sources are cited that confirm his professorial title. Ideabeach (talk) 17:01, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what's up with this university, but  ]shows they are trying to build an institute for fringe archaeology. Dougweller (talk) 17:57, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if they were (it doesn't say they are), trying to build and having built are two different things. Perhaps I'm missing something, but Wikipedia is about verifiable facts on current and past events and people. Never heard of an encyclopedia on future, might be facts. Ideabeach (talk) 17:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've no idea what you are talking about. I wasn't suggesting we say that, just that it appears they are doing that, but that doesn't belong in the article. You seem not to have read the page. "Director of the Center for Archaeology: Anthropology Professor Sam Semir Osmanagich, Ph.D. in Mayan Studies." Dougweller (talk) 21:06, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you understand English? Do you understand that there is no Center (yet), that there is no anthropology course let alone program offered (yet), and that the same goes for archaeology? Fringe or not. Zilch. Keyword being yet. His title is bogus. I move again to remove this man's "professorial" title. Ideabeach (talk) 17:21, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect I know a lot more about Osmanagic and his nonsense then most people, and I know that his 'PhD' would be laughed at at my alma mater, Yale. And the 'center' is basically in name only, although I believe its run some activities. But universities can confer titles as they will, and they gave him the title. We just call him by his surname in the article though, we don't call him Professor. Why don't you spend time building up a bit on what he has written about the Maya? The article needs to show more of his ideas so that people understand the problems. Dougweller (talk) 20:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: His name is not listed on the University's faculty list, and there is no program or course called anthropology or archaeology, or even remotely similar. Therefore I removed the reference to him being a professor, until a credible evidence is presented to the opposite. Ideabeach (talk) 17:19, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The information is sourced and appears to meet all relevant policies. The source isn't in dispute. I agree with the information being immediately restored as it was. --Ronz (talk) 16:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hand-waving. Please present proof he's a professor in the alleged areas. I'm also reverting the info on his apparently criminal mentor. The EAA calls Osmanagić a hoaxer, and the Bosnian police are now saying they believe his mentor is a criminal too. Hard to imagine a better source than the police. Ideabeach (talk) 16:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

text: And we don't say he's a professor, etc, we say he holds the titles. I'm going to take a break, but I've bought 2 of his recent books and I'll use some of them when I get back. Dougweller (talk) 20:41, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: When you call someone a professor then yes, you are saying he's a professor. So you bought his books? While Osmanagić will thank you for a free commercial I personally don't believe you really bought his books. I do thank you for the laughter you gave me, however... Can you Osmanagić groupies get any lower than this? You so sound like the man himself, with your "any commercial is a good commercial" economic strategy, as he's actually a trained economist and marketeer.Ideabeach (talk) 16:37, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

message: In the conclusion of this book he observes that besides being spiritual centres and storing "informatics knowledge", that "Last, maybe the most important and secret fact, is that pyramids were generators of several types of electromagnetic energy with an extremely important influence on the nearby area." He also states that to fully understand " the purpose and function of these structures" will require examine their "physical, energy and spiritual aspects."
While discussing the BP energy beam he says "This is the first proof of non-heroism technology on the Planet.

If you take a look at the Wikipedia references;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semir_Osmanagi%C4%87#References
#9 his PhD Thesis
claims
Prof. dr. Hidajet Repovac, mentor
Prof. dr. Ivan Cvitković, predsjednik
Doc. dr. Asim Mujkić, član''
#11 interview with Hidajet Repovac
- comes up as an 'error'
#12 also comes up as an error
I just wanted to bring these matters to your attention.
I don't know if anyone in Wikipedia has
made contact with you prior to listing your name in the references but,
I will be contacting them also, in regards to this matter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.213.37.127 (talk) 09:04, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the point. It was easy to fix the link to his university page and he isn't responsible for the Dani link. Nor do we need his permission. Dougweller (talk) 14:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Email sent to Hidajet Repovac 

message: As has already been pointed out and briefly discussed , we don't provide a directory of his writings but rather highlight those related to his notability as well as those that are otherwise prominent.
Likewise, I don't understand why we should mention that he has been published in multiple languages. --Ronz (talk) 02:34, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: How do you know which books are related to his notability if you don't know for ex. Bosnian language? You don't allow listing of book "Alternativna historija tom I_IV"(Bosnian language) , but you consider Smithosian as relevant source which is giving citation from this book not giving its original name. I was searching, wondering where is this book "Alternative history", because I don't trust Smithosian seeing its anti-propaganda to this project and this person..so maybe other readers also wonder where is this book to check themselves. Therefore I feel this as misleading.--Indija (talk) 12:59, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia should provide as much possible objective information, as I understand and would like to have it as wiki-user, and because you don't list the same book translated in other languages I wanted to give possibility that readers can check themselves. Why there are references in Wikipedia? maybe I don't know, but I was thinking therefore that reader can get more info which is not possible to list in an article. Person from France or Germany for example can be happy to find info that some of books are translated to his native language.This makes for me, Wiki service better.--Indija (talk) 12:59, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't understand how we work. Good articles have a lot of references - we are required to reference, see WP:VERIFY. And I can assure you that Wikipedia considers the Smithsonian a reliable source. You also need to read WP:FRINGE. Not knowing Bosnian is irrelevant - why should it be relevant unless you are suggesting no one outside Bosnia reads him. And obviously anyone wanting to know more about his publications would go to his websites. Dougweller (talk) 15:45, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I was only noticing that most of these people (many are usually the IP kids) are attempting to undermine Semir and his work on the claimed Bosnian Pyramids. 
Please state your sources before turning the entire Wiki article into a hate form.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balkanite (talk • contribs) 02:50, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
