[edit] Parachute and paranormal trivia section

I was strongly tempted to remove this, since:

a) it lacks a citation,

b) it is non-notable in the context of the article and

c) a Google search found nothing to back up this claim.

Unless anyone objects or provides a reference, it will be removed quickly. It may even be someone's attempt at a joke.--Ianmacm 07:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Some editor added that awhile back and I didn't really have the heart to remove it, so I moved it to a trivia section (it was in the etymology section). I generally only tag and remove unsourced controversial stuff, obvious vandalism, or spam, and it didn't seem like the editor was posting it in bad faith. I don't think anyone would object to a removal though, because the editor only made that one edit. I say go for it.

[edit] Help with List of paranormal subjects

I created a spin-off of the main paranormal page's "subjects" so that I can summarize the more notable ones in a more encyclopedic fashion. I don't really have the time to work on the List of paranormal subjects page as I'm focusing on the main page. It needs sources and descriptions, better intro, and so on. If anyone wants to tackle it, it'd be much appreciated. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 00:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image of James Randi

Wouldn't it be better to use his current Wikipedia biography image at [1] rather than the book cover, which is not a very good likeness?--Ianmacm 16:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

That works too. Done. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 16:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link and Book Spam

This is an encyclopedia entry on a topic where there exists thousands of books and websites on the subject. A further reading section should include Wikipedia articles in the form of a "See Also" section, not a list of non-notable books. Given the amount of spam that creeps into this article, it doesn't need any sort of external links section, per WP:EL. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 20:11, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
