Talk Page Archive
Archive 3 has been created with a link at above right. Archive 4, when needed in the future, should be a new subpage (same as creating an article) titled "Talk:Psychokinesis/Archive_4" and the link added to the template on this page's code. For further information on archiving see Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page. There are also Step-by-Step Instructions - Archiving a Talk Page on my personal User Page. Thank you. 5Q5 19:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
List of cultural references to PK and TK was deleted
I have just learned, after the fact, that the above useful research list has been deleted from Misplaced Pages forever. The article, history log, and talk page with pending titles: all gone. Here is the timeline of events as best as I can determine: On Tuesday July 24, 2007 a Misplaced Pages administrator by the user name of Eyrian (Contribs) flagged the article with a delete nomination banner (this editor does this to a lot of list articles). Voting took place here and on Sunday July 29, 2007, the article was deleted. It would have been nice if someone had notified us editors on this main PK article from which the list linked. If you're thinking you can always find the list at the Internet Archive, no, I checked, it's not there. Right now, the only place you can find it is in Google's temporary cache of the page. I would urge everyone to copy the page from there quickly before it disappears... If anyone ever wants to volunteer to create and manage a web page with the list, be sure to add it to the external links section. 5Q5 13:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- There are some admins who will undelete the page if you ask them, but only for your own use. It won't stay on wikipedia forever. This page should help you. Totnesmartin 14:48, 30 July 2007
- Thanks for the info, just the type of helpful input I was looking for; though realistically I don't think they would put the List back up, but it's very useful to know there is a dispute process. I've saved the code from Google's cache. 5Q5 18:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- they'd do it if you just wanted to save the information on your own computer, but it would be deleted again soon. Having said that, Unexplained disappearances was resurrected from deletion, and is still around today - but only because a gang of editors worked hard to make massive improvements.

There does seem to be a purge of "in popular culture" articles going on currently; but then the quality of most of them is awful, just huge lists of the topic being mentioned in videogames and sitcoms. Totnesmartin 14:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Update - The lengthy PK/TK Cultural References List is now gone from Google, but don't worry, all that hard work by Wiki editors has been saved and will likely reappear on the Internet again someday, possibly as an addition to this Hollywood PK/TK Movie List, which was a "See also" link on that page. 5Q5 13:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
What a mess...
This article is horrific. Anyone reading this please comment immediately so that we can start improving it. Please add some input. Thanks. Wikidudeman 16:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
