From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the same paragraphs keep being re-added to Real Social Dynamics, I'll try to cover some of the more salient points:

  • Forums and online scam/rip-off sites are not reliable sources. Anyone could make posts or claims with absolutely no verification. Wikipedia cannot use these unverfiable reports as sources.
  • The neutral point of view policy is central to writing an article. Statements like "RSD is widely critisized in the community" are not neutral, especially when not backed by any reliable source. A neutral statement would be one like "The New York Times reports that RSD is widely critisized in the seduction community because..." Statements need to be attributed, otherwise, they're just an opinion.

Information critical of a company is encouraged. Wikipedia is not a marketing vehicle and we aim to include all points of view on a subject, however, the same policies apply to positive and negative material: the information must be verifiable, it must come from a reliable source and finally, it should be written in a neutral tone. Any information that does not meet these criteria, especially when discussing living people or current companies will be removed immediately. If I can help explain any of these policies, please feel free to contact me. Shell babelfish 16:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


Good point. The criticism will be as follows:

RSD is criticized in Neil Strauss's book 'The Game'. Strauss, who goes under the pseudonym 'Style', lived among pickup artists in his two-year odyssey to document the inner workings of the seduction community. Together with Erik von Markovik (Mystery), Stephen Nash (PlayboyLA), Herbal T, and Papa, they founded the Project Hollywood mansion where key seduction concepts were field-tested and disseminated. Strauss writes of the founding members of RSD, Tyler and Papa:

"There was a lesson here, perhaps the last one this community would teach me. And that was alwasy to follow my instincts and first impressions. I hadn't trusted either Papa or Tyler Durden when I'd first met them. I found Papa spoiled and robotic, and Tyler Durden soulless and manipulative. And though they'd made great leaps forward when it came to fashion and game... The scorpion can't deny its nature."


You might want to take a look at our three revert rule policy. You and others fighting over the Real Social Dynamics article are going to be blocked if the revert wars continue. If you have problems with the content, take it to the discussion page of the article and work it out. Shell babelfish 01:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
