Talk:Parapsychological Association

message: To extablish notability of this organization, verification is required that it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. Further guidance is given in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Note that the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and if no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. . . dave souza, talk 19:50, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Incongruous photo of William James 

message: Dinesh D'Souza wrote The End of Racism, 1995, and in discussing Margaret Mead he cited her support of the Parapsychological Association and remarked that, compared to the branches of science represented in the AAAS, it was the least productive or the most non-performing branch.  Biology, physics, computer technology have of course grown by leaps and bounds, but parapsychology remains in the same questionable muddle.  It may be instructive to locate a quote to bring out this aspect.   66.241.130.86 (talk) 14:35, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  egg fish vs. Ranchu 

message: ZeZeNapsid002, who added the content about the Maruko, has been permanently banned for copyright violation. Does anyone have access to reliable sources about this variety? It is not mentioned in the weblinks. Is it mentioned in the book? If so, did ZeZeNapsid infringe copyright from the book? If no one replies within a day, I will delete the Maruko content as it is essentially unsourced, and the user who added it is blocked from editing in any way, so we're unlikely to recover the source. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted the addition, because I haven't found any sources that support it. To the contrary "Goldfish Breeds and Other Aquarium Fishes, Their Care and Propagation: A Guide to Freshwater and Marine Aquaria, Their Fauna, Flora and Management. With 280 Explanatory Illustrations" on page 11 refers to the Maruko as a synonym for the Ranchu rather than the Egg-fish, and describes it as a "Corean Goldfish" rather than one originating from China. That source is old (1908) so that may make it less reliable, but a source is better than no source so I'm going with it. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 19:36, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

text: Hmm damn this is complicated. Bristol Aquarists, which is used as a standard on many other goldfish articles, says "The eggfish is known as the maruko in Japan" and suggests a Chinese origin, and some precursor relationships. I'm inclined to believe BAS more than a book that's over a century old, so that's what I'm going with. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 19:54, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

From memory, I'd say that a mile is something like 1,6 something km. That means that for any given mile, you should have 1,6km. So logic would have it that there are always more km than mi, which is why I suspect you mislabeled the columns in the table.
If I misunderstood, just ignore. Otherwise, pls correct.

thread_title: Citations...

message: On the article was the claim "By the 1970s, however, the tide began to change as scientific researches validated many of his progressive notions on nutrition and health", there seems to be no solid evidence for this claim. Hauser is said to have some decent writings, but also promoted a lot of crackpottery.
Louis Lasagna (1963) gave a balanced opinion of Hauser's writings noting that they sold well to the public and some of it was based on common sense, but there is no evidence most of his ideas were validated by the scientific community. He held some far out ideas that as far as I can see have never been validated.
More critically in the book The Health Robbers: A Close Look at Quackery in America edited by Stephen Barrett (page 79, p. 349 specifically), Hauser is basically dismissed as a quack for endorsing things like the Bates method. HealthyGirl (talk) 18:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

 degrees which were validated by the Council for National Academic Awards (the CNAA).
 When this was scrapped following the 1992 Education Act, the college entered an 
 academic partnership with the University of Oxford allowing Westminster students to 
 read for degrees of the University." 
NOTE: This is not correct. Degrees were those of the University of Oxford until, in what many people felt was a singularly ill-judged action, Westminster parted from the University of Oxford. After that, the degrees were validated by the CNAA until the union with Oxford Brookes. Further, academic subjects while linked with Oxford University were far wider than simply Theology and Education. 220.255.2.100 (talk) 10:07, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
