| Annalisa, I read your user page and it is SO good to have you here. There are so many more skeptics than neutrals on Misplaced Pages, and they are pseudoskeptics in the tradition of Randi, not Marcello Truzzi. We need your help so badly. It can be really hard around here, because the pseudoskeptics just ignore what you say. But please don't be put off by it too much. BTW, I looked at your blog and it is really really good. I don't know why I haven't found it before- must not rate on the search engines. I've done a lot of work with the parapsychology article, and Nealparr did a lot with the summary. Maybe you can check us for facts etc.? ''']''' <sub>(] Ψ ])</sub> 09:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::Well, it does get very tiresome to debate them. For this reason, my own involvement is going to get less, after the fight over the scientific status of parapsychology has been won or has gone through the Arbitration Committee, if they will take it. This argument over the scientific status has a lot of meaning: for one thing, skeptics would like to say that any journal of parapsychology is just a fringe source, and anything in a '''Mainstream''' source takes precedence over it. So you'd get citations to Shermer from Scientific American or something, or Hyman or Alcock citations which are opinion pieces and not peer-reviewed. They also claim that whatever they believe is "mainstream," and whatever is paranormal is "fringe," and covered under ], so that it must be made terribly clear that the subject is '''Not mainstream'''. It's very subtle, and very bound up in the rules of Misplaced Pages. You'll notice that Wikiduduman wanted to get the section out of the main article, and relegate it to just another part of the ] section, as it it is only what some fringe nut cases have claimed for parapsychology. Also, Misplaced Pages follows the ] in any field, and opposing views are less covered. That tells you how important it is. You might want to read my essay-in-progress ]. | |||

| :Well, now that I've read the rest of you post, it's interesting that Hyman and I would agree on about the time horizon of parapsychology.

Hello, Annalisa Ventola. We welcome your contributions to Misplaced Pages, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Parapsychological Association, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Misplaced Pages's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
