How would you react if a stalker cornered you? There is no reason to believe the landings were fake, or to condone a stalker's actions like Sibrel. ````Bellahdoll —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellahdoll (talk • contribs) 17:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Moon Maiden continues to revert this page back to show information that is not true. I would ask that Moon Maiden please e-mail me (Moonmovie) to discuss this "edit war." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonmovie (talk • contribs) 12:50, 1 July, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Added NPOV template. This article is attempting to show that Bart Sibrel is wrong, when Wikipedia's goal is to be informative about all sides of a subject. Wikipedia articles are not intended to form people's opinions for them (no matter "obviously" incorrect Sibrel may seem).

The second 2/3rds of this article needs to be re-written in a neutral tone, and include the counter-arguments, i.e. some of Sibrel's own reasons for why he believes what he does. The allegations can remain, but need to be reported from a neutral stance. lunaverse 21:09, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Regardless of what you think about him, Caesarion, Sibrel is a public figure of some notoriety. So, he should have an article. By your reasoning, Adolf Hitler wouldn't deserve to have an article about him. But he does have an article. Writing an article about someone does not necessarily mean you agree with them.

Good call, will diarise cutting this down to a) a smaller article and b) something which conforms to NPOV - Having looked at the article, it will probably be a pretty big edit so we could do with some hardcore conspiracy theorists around to balance the discussion. Anyone know any? [half-smile ;)] --Si42 01:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

If I print a newsletter stating up is down, down is up, and gravity is a mass hallucination. I'll be able to go to the article on gravity and append a section saying "Recent publications have drawn a shadow of doubt over existing theories of gravitation". That's not NPOV, it's wikipedia policy but it's not neutral, it's bullshit. Sibrel is a lunatic (mwahha) and his insane ramblings shouldn't be given the respect due scholarly work. I doubt if there's any mention of his bullshit in Britannica. 83.70.219.86 10:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

This page needs some serious revision. Added NPOV template. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.58.146.29 (talk) 07:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Is it really a "Moon Hoax Documentary" film if the only thing it documents is Bart's insanity and need for attention? Need better wording for that section heading.

Is this new revision satisfactory? GeorgeC 21:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo of Sibrel

I see it's been removed. It's a screenshot (from the Fox special) which, according to the rules, is allowed. I even said it was a screenshot! Honestly, it's BS like this that's ruining Wikipedia. GeorgeC 19:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
