Talk:John G. Bennett

message: Although parts have been rewritten and expanded from other sources, this is skating a bit close to copyvio from . Tearlach 01:17, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. Previously, it was a direct, unadulterated lift from . Now it's compiled from various sources, but still very much a work in progress . Feel free to rewrite bits. Personally, I think it needs a good editor with an objective, fresh eye to extensively reshape it. TheMadBaron 09:59, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Such extensive plagiarism can't be left. Regretfully, I'm going to delete the material copied straight from that copyrighted sourced.   Will Beback  talk   23:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately, the copying was throughout the article. The only real alternative was to blank most of the article. I urge anyone interested in this topic to start again, using their own writing.   Will Beback  talk   04:19, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The author notes the destruction of the remarkable building but gives no further information.  Didn't it have some connection with Frank Lloyd Wright?

message: I attended one of the basic courses at Claymont a long time ago, and wonder if anyone has any electronic information about it that you can share with me.  I was also curious about the mention of the self-styled leader that took charge in the 80's, and wondered if anyone could expand on that. 141.157.251.148 (talk) 21:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing info 

message: This article is worrying. I will try and alert other editors with the time (and also lack of bias) to come and help clean it up:
* First, although plenty of sources are listed, the majority of the text is not referenced so one can't tell what comes from where, or indeed what is the assertion (or even original research - see WP:NOR) of an individual editor
* Second, given the controversial nature of the subject, some more balanced sources are urgently needed
*Third, the article gives every impression of being in the hands of various sectarian interests (or, as I would call them in a less than scholarly manner, fruitcakes) who follow these "teachings" - see WP:NPOV
As an example of what's going on, see this (sourced and referenced) paragraph which was deleted some time ago and not replaced by anything which would give a similar impression of the flavour of the man and his "work":
::A notable illustration of the thinking around Bennett is provided by the account of the "strange circumstances of his death" given by actress and Bennett enthusiast Diane Cilento in her autobiography "My Nine Lives". Cilento writes that Dr Chandra Sharma, a homeopathic healer and associate of Bennett's, was in his consulting rooms in London when he saw Bennett (at that time physically located at Sherborne, Dorset, some 100 miles away). According to Sharma, Bennett spoke to him, confirmed he had died and then vanished. Sharma telephoned Sherborne and asked to speak to Bennett but was told he had been found dead that morning in his armchair.Diane Cilento, My Nine Lives, Viking, UK, 2006

thread_title:  Lack of balance (and lack of references) 

message: Seven years after this issue was first raised, the article still contains a great deal of word-for-word copyright violation (see top item for original complaint). This really is not good enough; we cannot expect others to respect us if we do not respect them. The source is the same:  Macdonald-ross (talk) 21:44, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire section on Subud in this article is just a slight rewrite of the paragraphs "Subud"-"Psychokinetic Studies" on the page linked above. --JBirken (talk) 11:07, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
