As I posted the original entry for this article, I suppose I should spearhead the citation and expansion process. I readily admit that much of the original text was copied from web-site entries, but it was done with full permission of all relevant parties. Another user re-arranged things, to wikify them and place things in categories appropriate to a biographical entry (thanks, mostly). I verified all of what I posted through independent sources, but the information jibes with what can be found on liner notes of Larsen's various books (adjusted for date of publication). I know that Stephen is well respected in the community of psychologists, and is in demand as a speaker at conferences, both for his work in mythology and for his research in neurofeedback.

I am not an academic colleague of Stephen's, but I am somewhat familiar with his work, I know of its impact and importance, and I am therefore on the board of the Center for Symbolic Studies which he helped found. This means I have some contact with him and his staff. I will collect some titles of recent talks to the academic community, as well as listing specific origins for additional information, as I intend to expand and edit this article somewhat over time.

I added Joseph Campbell Foundation reference, and will add link to their Who's Who page (which verifies the info) in references section on bottom. I'm attempting to compile list to add all citations for this article in one or two passes. Reading up on Wiki format for proper citations and references. I will attempt to comply with all requirements Re: biographies of the living, and citation formatting, as per Wiki standards guides. JonathanD 18:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed uncited reference of recognized expert status, in first paragraph, and replaced with neutral statements easily proven. Accordingly; I also removed the missing citation tag. JonathanD 21:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References section was added today. I am still collating info about book pages, and so on, for some hard copy references to cite. My goal is to have at least as many references to the printed page as there are web-based citations - perhaps more. For now, however, I think the accountability requirement has been been met, and I may delete the 'lacking sources' tag later today. JonathanD 19:56, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
