[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Featured article review on Parapsychology

I have found evidence of original research and abuse of sources in this article, and have suggested it for featured article review here: Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/Parapsychology/archive1 Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 193 FCs served} 18:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion on Precognition

Multiple discussions have been ongoing in recent weeks about issues with the Precognition article, including whether it is a paranormal topic and how it is to be defined. There are only two editors involved, and we need additional contributions to work towards consensus. Thanks in advance for any contribution, MartinPoulter (talk) 11:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Walter John Kilner

Kilner's theories were not paranormal; they were based upon an idea common in science at the time but now generally thought obsolete; that of intercellular communication via ultra-violet radiation. Redheylin (talk) 01:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Who is active?

Is there very much interest for getting this project back on its feet? A lot of the paranormal articles could be cleaned up and the whole area really needs more interested people looking after it. I'd like to help out but I don't know so much about how the whole WikiProject thing works. K602 (talk) 02:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I gave up because of the arguments. Not so much that I don't like arguments, but that the same points kept being raised - by the same people. I just thought "this is where I came in" and unwatched all the paranormal stuff. Back in 2006-7 though, this place was great. If we can get people to abide by the huge arbitration case from a year or two ago then this place could pick up. To get to the point, I know a bit of wikiproject stuff so I'll see what I can do. Like finding the arbitration case in question, for starters... Totnesmartin (talk) 13:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean this one? Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Paranormal It looks like it was a pretty big deal at the time but the outcome seems to make sense to me. K602 (talk) 06:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Spectronomy

Has anyone heard of this term? Someone recently created the article spectronomy and I can't find any sources for it. Searching Google for "spectronomy" yields a lot of incorrect usage of spectrometry or spectroscopy. Thanks, Pdcook (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Never heard of it, can't find anything relevant on Google. Guess it's a neologism or something. K602 (talk) 05:42, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
