message: Google shows 70,000+ results for "truth serum" and 8,000+ for "truth drug", maybe the first name would be more suitable? --xDCDx 16:58, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of the article, "truth serum" or "truth drug" 

message: While probably not as well known as some of the others listed here, I was wondering if it might be worthwhile to add the use of "fastpenta" (a presumed thiopental derivative) in the science-fiction universe created by Lois McMaster Bujold? (since veritaserum and "The Undisputed Truth" are already included).  thanks for the feedback,

replies: text: I just added a sentence on the movie True Lies before reading this talk page. I've found no policy on the inappropriateness of pop culture trivia in WP:LOP. WP:TRIVIA is a proposed policy or guideline. WP:AVTRIV says "This guideline does not suggest deletion of trivia sections. Instead, consider it a list of "facts pending integration" or "facts lacking sufficient context for integration." As far as I know, there is no standard definition of "interesting", "important", or "relevant" on Wikipedia, as those terms are all subjective. I understand lists of pop culture trivia can get out of hand, but I see no reason to delete related information. Perhaps the page on True Lies should link to truth drug and not vice versa. Thoughts? --Pixelface 23:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pixel, I think it would be great if you link to the Truth Drug page from the True Lies page.  I don't think the Truth Drug page should link to True Lies.  I agree that some trivia is nice, and pop culture references often engage readers.  However, it has been my experience that these often get out of hand (as was the case on this page).  For that reason, unless it is essential and adds to the informational value of the article, I generally find most pop culture references to not fit the encyclopedic nature that wikipedia aspires to.

text:  I think the Popular Culture section could be useful if it was more rounded e.g. if any information was to hand on the traditional fairy tales from previous centuries that made use of 'Magic  Truth Potions' and suchlike, that might provide the historical background for the emergence of the concept in popular culture. --79.97.249.222 (talk) 21:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the following.  It's unsourced (as is much of the article, which should be fixed), and it sounds like rampant speculation rather than documented fact to me.  --Robert Merkel 15:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Ive talked with a licensed psychologist about so called truth drugs, and he said there is no drug that actually works and makes people the truth. All the drugs may do is loosen inhibitions, there has been no respectable research done that says otherwise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.89.190 (talk) 21:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

message: With regard to this edit, one can not remove information sourced to notable books by simply declare it "rumors". "Rumors" is your personal opinion, which is an WP:OR by definition.

replies: text: Compound SP-17 mentioned by Litvinenko was described in more detail by Kouzminov. According to him, this is not one of the commonly used drugs mentioned here, but a compound specifically developed in one of their laboratories. He wrote that almost all their own "illegal agents" were tested using this drug. Kuzminov himself took part in "drinking parties" when this drug was given to the agents. He said that even Vitaly Yurchenko was tested using this drug.Biophys (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Are there any more sources mentioning SP-117? I see very few sites mentioning this compound online, and they all seem like unreliable conspiracy sites. 70.181.240.148 (talk) 04:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
