edit warring

@Jonparkyn and 81.154.213.104:, I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but accusing someone of "slanderous lies" is a BLP violation that can result in you being blocked from editing and your accusations being erased from public view. One should not make such statements, especially in edit summaries, where they cannot be redacted voluntarily. I strongly suggest that, if anyone has cause to believe a source is unreliable, that they discuss it here before making such statements. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A bit strong, but if it was about the curious comment by a skeptic that the village name/ location was unknown this was a very strange error and the opposite of all of the research, verification, publications and witness testimony. Now it has been corrected with the help of admin there should be no more problems. JennyCockell (talk) 08:32, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, JennyCockell: That wasn't an admin. Just a normal user like yourself. — Gestrid (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Speaking of sources, I was trying to clean up some of the references and expand the citations, and find that the statement in the lede that Cockrell "came to fame in the mid-1990s" is apparently supported by one book from 1987 (Stephenson's Children who Remember Previous Lives) and one book from 1990 (Pasricha's Claims of Reincarnation: An Empirical Study of Cases in India). That's clearly incorrect since both those books were published well before the mid-1990s, so what is the actual status of these sources? Are they generic "references" to reincarnation, or are there later editions which discuss Cockell in depth? --bonadea contributions talk 11:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea, honestly. If it fails WP:V, then I say we just delete it. As things stand, the only secondary sources used here which doesn't seem to be twisted in some way are Joe Nickell and the abc news piece.

Supporting the word 'reincarnation' as a term of reference to balance the single entry and bring it back to a neutral point. Professor Ian Stevenson's primary area of research was reincarnation. He relied on first had contact and direct interviews studying over 2,000 cases.— Preceding unsigned comment added by JennyCockell (talk • contribs) 06:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so not supporting the claim in the article. Thanks for the clarification. --bonadea contributions talk 07:14, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
