[edit] Nuked copyvio
I have removed the list of personalities from this article. They were taken word-for-word from the book Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber. ("Cast of Characters and Dates of 'Birth'", between the contents and the preface, in my Penguin edition). I do not think that we can call this WP:FAIR.

- Inasmuch as the book was highly tarted-up for publication and the "list of personalities" is probably not accurate anyway, I completely agree with this. I'd wait till Swales' book came out and find out what her selves were really called. --Bluejay Young 22:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

- So Swales has the absolute truth in the matter? BTW, I do not see why that isn't fair use. It is less than a page, and it is factual, which is not copyrightable, evidence. Ansell 23:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

- If the list had been taken word for word directly from Schreiber's list, that might be a copyright violation. All you need to do is go through the book and make your own list in a different order (maybe alphabetical, maybe chronological by discovery, maybe chronological by apparent evolution in Mason's life) with a description of your own wording after each name.

- I've restored the list. It is an *appropriate* Fair use. Yes we can call it fair use, because it is. As has been pointed out, fair use encompasses a quote, even up to several pages in length. Wjhonson 23:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] proven MP
It has been proven by filmed sessions that MP exist. If you suffer unthinkable abuse all your childhood, why can't a person develop MP to live through it without loosing their minds. I don't believe I have MP, but I know I had "different" behaviors, that helped me cope with my childhood and it wasn't as devious as sybles.
