Talk:Ingo Swann

message: I have serious doubts about all of the psi readings discussed here, but that doesn't mean I think wiki should become so unbalanced in view point. This article is obviously one-sided and done in ill-taste. [[User:furbuggy[furbuggy]]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.202.87.241 (talk) 02:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Seems Unfair

message: I believe this is a well balanced article. I don't believe you have to include skepticism to have a harmonious balance in the paranormal world.  Afterall, there are dozens of public figures both politicans and celebrities alike that solely "promote themselves and their good work" that do not present the opposing view.

thread_title:  Excellent Article

message: I don't know what is the "bottom-line" (if there is one) of RV, but I do know a double standard when I see it... 
How come this article's neutrality is not "disputed"?
Not to mention the basic rule of critical reporting (as opposed to personal commentary), which is: do not propose rhetorical questions, especially when there is nobody to answer them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.96.169 (talk) 02:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Check out the More Information: Video: Live Demonstration, See if you can spot the flaws, the con. They are most definitely there. If you can't recognize these juicy tidbits maybe you should keep away from this PSI stuff. You are just too easy. "Welcome to my web," said the spider to the fly.  Kazuba 00:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Swann's brain activitry

message: Any sources to justify that he is a former Scientologist? Has he actually stated this, and if so, please show the source, otherwise the category should be removed. There also needs to be a source for the idea that he and Puthoff (reliable and verifiable sources) were high-level OTs. I know these things to be true myself personally since I have first-hand knowledge, but we need reliable sources. Otherwise it doesn't belong here. Laval (talk) 06:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources for being a former Scientologist

message: It is written and recorded by some that Pioneer Remote Viewer, Ingo Swann, was The Father Of Remote Viewing. According to gathered information, this is dis-informational. According to fellow Pioneer Remote Viewer, A. Edward Moch, "To say that "Ingo" was the Father of Remote Viewing, is like saying Al Gore is the father of The Internet". What seems far more accurate, is that Swann was the creator of a remote viewing protocol named "Coordinated Remote Viewing" or "CRV", under the supervision of Dr. Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff at The Stanford Research Institute (SRI). ````Aedwardmoch````
I have to agree. The idea of remote viewing is a concept common among many cultures far before Ingo Swann. - David A. Carlson DavidA.Carlson@yahoo.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.26.144.203 (talk) 03:29, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ingo Swann "The Father Of Remote Viewing"? 

message: Ingo Swann recently died. Now his flesh will rot and his personality and psyche will disappear. Common sense has caught up with him. At last. Dickie birdie (talk) 22:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait till he's buried before you dance on his grave.  I hope your bias won't affect your editing. 24.98.1.233 (talk) 22:25, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: These people that believe in the "paranormal" are just mystics who happen to be educated, that's all. Life after death, is Ingo Swann really going to communicate with us from beyond the grave? How many times has that happened, people believing in rubbish promising to communicate after death "proving" there is an afterlife. Dickie birdie (talk) 11:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source numbers 53 and 54 

message: WP:SOURCE states that WP:THIRDPARTY are required, but some of the sources in the article do not stand up to this:
*Biomindsuperpowers.com is cited as a source several times, but this page was written by Swann (apparently an introduction with his name at the bottom) and this page contains links on how to order books by Swann, including a phone number. This seems to fail WP:THIRDPARTY.
*Godlikeproductions.com is cited, but seems to be a web forum - this breaches WP:USERGENERATED
*trvnews.com seems to fail WP:SELFPUBLISH.
The first of these sources is cited often, using different pages. Given the subject of the article, it seems editors should be careful of WP:REDFLAGSs.Autarch (talk) 18:57, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
