Isaac Asimov [1] Low March 4, 2007 Featured article FA 0.5 needs inline citations --plange 21:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC) (edit comment)

Richard Dawkins [3] Low March 4, 2007 Good article GA *1 free image, 62 citations. Smee 04:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC). (edit comment)
Committee for Skeptical Inquiry [4] Top March 4, 2007 B
James Randi [5] Top March 4, 2007 B
Kevin Trudeau [6] Top March 4, 2007 B this article is continually re-edited by someone who wishes to cast Trudeau in a favorable light. He is an ex-convict w/no medical background. Suggesting there is controversy about his theories simply perpetuates the notion that his ideas have merit, making this entry another advertisement for his materials. I would pare this p.o.s. down to the nub. Less opining, and more facts. (edit comment)

Backmasking [11] Mid March 20, 2007 B == B-class ==

Rated as B-class by me, Λυδαcιτγ. Not a Good Article, but has most of the material needed to be one. However, problems with NPOV are being discussed on the talk page. 02:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Sylvia Browne [23] High March 4, 2007 Start This article is biased against Sylvia Browne and the focus is upon praising Randi the skeptic instead .

One wonders if it is written for the intention of advertising Randi. (edit comment)

Applied kinesiology [24] Mid March 4, 2007 Start Greetings wonderfull people.

let me open by saying im optimisticly skeptical about applied kinesiology. If it does work and can pass the same tests we require of other sciences then i think it would be a great benefit to mankind on the whole and something i would presonally like to study. After attending a sports/haulistic kinesiology short course(in Australia) over the weekend (and being privy to some fascinating experiences) im still unable to make my mind up about the validity of the concept. the internet is full of ego driven biased response and i have found solid data from either side of the discussion hard to come by.

I was hoping someone here would be able to point me in the direction of some credible information, surley if AK is a study of the body then its results should be reproduceable, its should be able to pass placebo and double blind tests?

thankyou for your time love and peace Camov 06:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)
