The article as it stood was full of weasel words, unsupported claims, and unclear language. The edits consisted in removal of most of these, and re-editing where they could be salvaged. Examples:

is a metaphyical pioneer, in the first sentence, misuses the word metaphysical and inappropriately makes ungrounded claims about the significance of his work.

birthday replaced by birth year as per living persons policy

his books were put together into a single group, and redescribed using less advertising language; likewise the mentions of his conferences

the use (often ungrammatical or incoherent) of New Age jargon and the subject's particular jargon was replaced with neutral terminology or put in "quotation marks" to indicate that it was non-standard.

And so forth. I'd rather you had looked through the changes than simply counted to see how much there was, before reverting.

Your edits were a rather bit sweeping and the Fraudster category is in appropriate as it is unsourced... - Denny 21:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm a jerk.

Under Category:New Age Authors He is listed under "R" instead of "B"

[edit] Ta-chinggg?

Wondering why the link (or even the item) 'ching'? It links to musical cymbals rather than an energy definition, and I don't know enough to take it out yet. Chi yes, but ching? If no-one objects, I'll remove it after awhile. Julia Rossi 10:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

This was taken care of. Rewen 21:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
