Talk:Jasmuheen

message: Dear article editors/authors,
I would like to bring to your attention my recently published scientific review article on cases of claimed inedia / breatharianism / bigu: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.explore.2020.05.015
It is the first critical, in-depth review of all investigated cases where claimants where monitored around the clock. It also includes an evaluation of the investigation of Jasmuheen (see Supplement 6).
I required a high methodological standard for such extraordinary claims to be considered verified. None of the studies were able to meet that standard. Yet, there are curious cases and results that justify further research.
You may want to consider citing the article on this page. I think it can give readers some orientation in this controversial field. 
Best regards,
Marcus H. Mast

replies: text: Hi, looks like a good paper its a shame you went for that journal. Unfortunately the journal is a bit dodgy. The Explore: The Journal of Science & Healing is an alternative medicine and paranormal journal. It is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia and most scientists don't take the journal seriously. Have a look at WP:MEDRS. Psychologist Guy (talk) 14:34, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Hi, I don't think it is a good idea to promote your paper as advertisement on different talk pages, which you now do on another . Unfortunately Explore: The Journal of Science & Healing fails WP:RS and that is why it is not used on any articles on Wikipedia. It's basically a pseudoscience journal and its editorial team  consist of a faith healer Larry Dossey and a man who thinks magic (people can levitate) is real Dean Radin. It seems the Explore journal likes magical thinking even publishing a paper claiming the Brazilian medium Chico Xavier was genuine (!). Crazy. This seems to be a journal working as an apologist for the paranormal. It reminds me of creation "scientists" trying to get their creationism published. I look forward to reading your review but the journal is not a reliable science journal by Wikipedia standards or any scientist for that matter. Others may disagree of course but there is nothing else I can add here. But useful information about Jasmuheen can be found in Tucker, S. D. (2018). Quacks!: Dodgy Doctors and Foolish Fads Throughout History. Amberley Publishing. ISBN 978-1-4456-7181-9 , so yes books are a good source of information. I will get round to adding this.

That's from memory but I think it's fairly accurate... the order of Gattling and Guillotine may be wrong, but Morgan comes last for its comic effect.
Anyway, if accurately sourced and to the specific book, that quote would be a good addition to this article IMO, as a specific example of the error that Dr Guillotine invented the guillotine. Andrewa (talk) 16:49, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Knud Rasmussen

message: In this article Knud is said to have been food poisoned, then contracted pneumonia, and then died. The cited sources, 17–18, only mention the food poisoning, and does thus not support the part about pneumonia. I have no reason to believe that he did not die from pneumonia, and would like to correct the kiviak article that does not mention it at all, however as it stands the sources does not support it. most likely, the description here is also lacking, as the Danish version says the following about his death: "Knud Rasmussen fik en maveinfektion under den sidste ekspedition og blev først bragt til Julianehåb og derfra til Danmark til indlæggelse på Gentofte Hospital. Han kom sig dog ikke over det, men døde efter nogle måneder, da der også tilstødte en lungebetændelse." which basically says that he got an intestinal infection, went to Denmark, got pneumonia, and died after some months.

message: While espionage organizations and counter espionage organizations use different terminology, as well as espionage organizations and counter espionage from different nations use different terminology, some terminology is common to all.

Hence, the "dogs breakfast", I assume, from which you speak. "Agent handling", in one form or another, is common to all subjects of this article.

On pages 1 & 2 he defines these polynomials, and on page three he says "some authors call this the ring of frobenius polynomials", and the rest of the book seems devoted to their study.

message: Quote from the article:
:P(X)=X2+X=X(X+1)
Here the expression P(X) means function P taken of argument X, while the expression X(X+1) does not mean function X taken of argument X+1, but rather the product of X by (X+1).
Why not use explicite multiplication signs to avoid this unclarity, here and elsewhere?
