File source problem with File:Eva Pierrakos.jpeg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Eva Pierrakos.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Reply[edit]

Hi, I deleted your recent article because

It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references.
It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: an instrument through whom a large body of spiritual wisdom was communicated... well-known novelist... gift for automatic writing... Supported and guided... apparently channeled... a series of important changes... the effectiveness of the Pathwork teachings... pristine land...

Core Energetics[edit]

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. I deleted your recent article because

It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets thenotability guidelines. Although you have references they are clearly not independent, nor is quoting Pierrakos.
It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: strives to achieve transformation through self-discovery and self awareness and claims to help in integrating mind, body, will, emotions and spirit... It is designed to allow the individual to deeply feel their emotions and conflicting feelings... more rapidly than with traditional talk therapy... can be used for removing the deep seated causes of depression... clearing the aura, aligning the chakras and removing the negative thoughts which can block the flow of positive energy in the body... one must understand every aspect of their inner self, their strength, their beauty and the depths of their darkness... in core energetics each layer of a being is identified and brought into awareness...
It's obviously intended to push a particular philosophy. Adding the odd "purportedly" doesn't change that (and the Pierrakos bits are unsourced anyway... ultimate happiness, abundance of joy and life satisfaction which can be done by creating the burst of positive energy that can be channelized properly... Core Energetics therapy helps the individual to achieve the in the right direction to achieve spiritual, mental and physical healing. The individual will be able to learn how to mobilize his body energy that lies within his body for his benefits. Core Energetics helps to access hidden aspects of ourselves - a process of difficult emotions that may otherwise to be painful to hold or even talk about. It also helps to manage overwhelming emotions and becomes the catalyst in processing them so they may be more easily digested

I've deleted the even more blatantly promotional new version, but User:Meco has offered to help (see his messages on my talk page), and has the deleted original text here. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You left a message on my talk page about this article, but I've not been involved in editing it. Just a head's up to let you know. Meclee (talk) 20:12, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox version[edit]

It's not the number of citations that matter, adding more Pierrakos refs makes little difference, since he's clearly not an independent source. You need references to uninvolved, high-standard sources to both establish notability and get an unbiased, encyclopaedic view. The content, being based only on his views, remains highly promotional and partisan. Why don't you wait and see what Meco comes up with? He is a supportive and experienced editor who might be able to come up with something more acceptable. Have a look at Scientology to see how a non-mainstream (and controversial) view of life can be presented in an encyclopaedic way. I'm not suggesting something as long or detailed as that, but look at how the topic is handled, and the quality of the referencing Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

incidentally, shall we keep all discussion, including my replies to you, on my talk page? That's where Meco is replying, and it makes sense to keep everything in one place Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:43, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
