TreeTrailer, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure![edit]

Hello Tree Trailer: In answer to your comment on my talk page: I'm new to editing here, and perhaps I shouldn't try to add anything onto a footnote. However, the note I put there is in no sense a "personal comment". It is an informative pointer to the reader as to the real nature of the article quoted. If the wiki editor who quoted that Wired article intended it as some kind of "documentation" they were misleading readers. As anyone can easily verify by following that link, it is absolutely not a research article, but an opinion piece, which offers no justification for the author's claim about academic views on parapsychology. It would have been more honest to say "I doubt that most academics take parapsychology seriously, and here's a writer for Wired magazine who has the same opinion I do." This is opinion, not documentation. Secondly, when you call my addition to the article "original research" you flatter me too much! It merely states well-known facts about two famous scientists — facts which are mentioned or implied elsewhere in this same article! (My addition was rejected, for unknown reasons, which I'm going to try to find out... maybe I just don't have enough edits to my credit) Joseph Rowe (talk) 19:16, 17 May 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph Rowe (talk • contribs) Joseph Rowe (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
