Talk:Barry Beyerstein

message: Hi: this is in regards to the entry for Barry Beyerstein.
Dr. Beyerstein wrote this profile, and gave me permission to use it on other websites, such as his profile at BCSkeptics.
Unfortunately, he has now passed away, and his SFU faculty profile will be removed soon. I wanted to create a permanent profile at Wikipedia for people to locate in the future.

message: I think Beyerstein's page is very factual but boring beyond belief.  I'm going to try and rewrite it using his own words from an article he published about his life in "Skeptical Odysseys".  I'm hoping that I won't over quote the piece and anyone else is welcome to clean up my effort.  SGerbic (talk) 00:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Help Me Brand new to uploading a Flickr picture. I thought I had done everything right, but the picture isn't showing up. Here is the picture Barry L. Beyerstein (1947-2007).jpg Sgerbic (talk) 03:24, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

message: This page has now been rewritten.  I want to state that I have met Beyerstein many years ago at the Skeptic's Toolbox. If you find bias in this article, please remove it. Sgerbic (talk) 01:37, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page rewritten 

message: Note: While adding authority control links, I noticed that the Library of Congress has his year of birth as 1949, while we have 1947. Knowing his daughter is active on Twitter, I asked her directly. She says he was born in 1947. --Krelnik (talk) 03:03, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth year 

message: 1.  In section on Graphology, I changed "support the invalidity of handwriting analysis."  to "support the validity of handwriting analysis."

thread_title:  Fixed errors 

message: I suggest adding something about how much Barry loved to browse in bookstores.  Every time I saw him in Washington, DC, we ended up at a bookstore.  The last time that I saw Barry was when we went to Politics and Prose in Washington, DC.  Of course, I never imagined it would be the last time.

replies: text: While I would love to see this page expanded, we can not allow submissions to the page with out secondary sources proving it happened. If you could provide documents that can prove events happened, then we can move forward to including it in the article. Otherwise it is just opinion. Sgerbic (talk) 04:29, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Another link for the Geekmom.com article is https://geekdad.com/2011/09/interview-with-daniel-loxton-of-junior-skeptic-magazine (which links to the website's archive rather than relying on a tag search). I didn't even try for the YouTube video. --jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 08:36, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I had to use archive.com for the archiveurl, since the geek.mom site's own archive doesn't currently lead to the full article, just the same incomplete summary as the geekdad.com url given above. --jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 09:02, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
