Parapsychology
Here and here , you have added original research and personal commentary onto the article. Adding personal comments to references is not a good thing to do, I recommend you do not do this again as you may get into trouble. Use the talk-page on this article if you have any concerns. Thanks.

My answer to Tree Trailer: 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 this article. 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 to the Wired page, 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)
