Talk:Natural Law Party

message: The article speaks of "the Maharishi" quite often, and only in a late paragraph is it mentioned that this is Maharishi Manesh Yogi. I feel this article obfuscates the party's connection to him and his religious movement - but then again, so does the Natural Law party itself. In their self-presentation they don't say a word about M.M.Y or TM, and in their eyes they only promote "field tested science" in politics. Make of it what yo will.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.1.73.1 (talk) 07:17, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I've added a POV tag to this page. The article as currently stands is pretty egregiously POV and even seems to mock the subject, particularly the second paragraph. Claims about the "real purpose" of the party, putting "party" itself in quote marks, and numerous other aspects of this article are extremely POV and unencyclopedic. I don't know enough about the Natural Law Party to seriously improve the article myself, but I do know enough to tell the article's in bad, bad shape. Jcb9 21:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Per discussion on Transcendental Meditation page, I've moved NLP-related material here and merged it into the article.  Tanaats 18:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moved material from TM page to here 

message: This article should be merged with Natural Law Party (United States). I vote to keep the other article's title, since there are other Natural Law parties, e.g., Natural Law Party of Canada.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.222.133 (talk) 14:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do you think they should be merged? This article contains information about the Natural Law Parties in the U.K., Ireland, and Australia. Doesn't seem like it would make sense to have that information in the article titled Natural Law Party (United States). TimidGuy (talk) 15:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the more general topic/article on the Natural Law Party.If anything a merger would have to go the other way around, that is, US NLP as part of the larger article. Since there seems to be no need to merge that article into this one, the US article stands on its own,  probably no merger is needed.(olive (talk) 18:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: All of the above - is it a reliable source to use in Wiki? --BwB (talk) 12:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: On the issue of reliability, it's hard to fake material like this and I don't think anyone has a cause to do so. The text appears consistent with other NLP materials I've seen.   Will Beback  talk   21:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: So you think it OK to leave this link in the EL Section? --BwB (talk) 10:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We could go either way. I think it adds value, but we could also find reasons to remove it.   Will Beback  talk   11:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

message: * Also, in the Netherlands in the province of Flevoland, the NLP has had a candidate in office since around 1993 or so.
An anon added this unsourced material. I checked the websites of the provincial house and senate. Neither one includes a member of this party. Unfortunately, the editor didn't indicate which office the NLP member occupies. I suppose it could be dog catcher. In any case, since an effort to source this has been unsuccessful I'll remove it shortly if no sources are added.   Will Beback  talk   01:28, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I just realized that the source for the text I inserted yesterday is a student newspaper so I have removed the text and am parking it here. Other editors may wish to re-add the text and put a citation needed tag or just wait until better sources are found. I am OK either way. Here is the text and source I have removed:
*The party leader was John Burns who was one of nine Natural Law Party candidates in the General Election of 1997.  In addition, there were four candidates in the European elections of 1999. Burns campaign promises included calling on NATO to stop the bombing in Yugoslavia and instead deploy 7000 yogic flyers to the region to create positive vibrations, and to end half of all disease using Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health. The five European candidates who ran were able to attract almost 7000 votes.  However, after that election, the party ceased to field candidates in Ireland.

replies: text: So, what's our conclusion? The RSN posting was perhaps too vague to be definitive in this regard. Since the underlying assertions aren't contested, I'll restore this unless there's further objection.   Will Beback  talk   08:21, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Parking Text and Source

message: It's not clear why this edit was reverted. In the edit summary, the reason given was that the information was unsourced. But it was sourced to a document that's already used as a source several times elsewhere in the article. I'm not necessarily arguing that the material be included, but simply eager to understand the rationale for its removal. TimidGuy (talk) 10:35, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure either. Maybe post a note on the users talk page, so he can join the discussion here. -- — Keithbob • Talk •  21:35, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

message: A lot of good info here in this article. Not sure its a reliable source though.  It might qualify as a blog written by an expert.  Thoughts anyone?-- — Keithbob • Talk •  16:43, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
