[edit] Request Information

Request made by: Minehunter 10:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Where is the issue taking place?
... Talk:Holotropic Breathwork
Who's involved?
...Princiapally Users Minehunter, The Communicator, Jedermann etc.


What's going on?
... I am not a particularly experienced user, and when my attention was drawn to this article, perhaps foolishly, I created User:Minehunter to attempt to deal with the issue. (I have not been involved in any controversy elsewhere and did not want to end up having my regular 'work' attacked.) I know this is not ideal, but I take refuge in Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Keeping heated issues in one small area. As you can see my attempts are simply resulting in a long correspondence on the Talk page and anyone else querying these critical contributions has vanished. I suspect I would be within my rights to remove many of the contributions made by The Communicator which are references to self-published sources and which I think are becoming a long diatribe rather than an attempt to create a balanced article. However, I am reluctant to get involved in an unpleasent edit war and am regretting getting involved at all - it's a learning curve at least.
What would you like to change about that?
... I would like guidance on whether or not The Communicator and Jedermann's critiques are reasonable, and if not, what best to do about it.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
... Yes please. email koperwick@btinternet.com
