Haunting

If you are a proponent of hauntings like I am, then you'd support the virtually irrefutable evidence of it being haunted as I saw the episode of Ghost Hunters. However, it is objectionable material and not quite appropriate for Wikipedia, is it? Alas, I'll revise it slightly to meet NPOV standards. -Alan 24.184.184.177 (talk) 02:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ghost Hunters

I've added the description "paranormal investigation group" to "TAPS" so that the sentence makes more sense to people who are not really interested in clicking the link and investigating what TAPS is. I've also identified the Ghost Hunters episode. This allows people interested in the site in general or the hunting specifically to possibly find the episode and see video of the site. Note the additions make no claim for or against haunting.Toyblocks (talk) 00:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for posting a photography article

Hello, my name is Lindsay Blair Brown. I understand it is a conflict of interest for me to add the link myself, which is why it was removed previously, however I truly think my article about the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum would be helpful to those interested in the history behind these buildings and what is left of them. Before the link was removed, I received a few messages thanking me for posting my link on the Wikipedia page. While it appears as advertising, my only goal is to help people understand more about places such as this... many people just see its grand exterior and have no idea what is inside those doors. I apologize for posting a few of my articles on other pages, <topaz> was very helpful in explaining it came off as spam rather than trying to be helpful. Please reconsider? http://lindsayblairbrown.com/trans-allegheny-lunatic-asylum-west-virginia Thank you for your time and consideration.

Lobotomys

I saw a WV PBS documentry about the Lobotomy, and how a doctor famouse for doing them Walter Jackson Freeman II went to Weston and did most of the patiants. Mostly because the state wanted to save money. Herogamer (talk) 18:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
