Contents 1 Arbitrary section header 2 Barker's conclusions 3 POV 4 Critical review

[edit] Arbitrary section header

The criticism have hardly anything to do with the book. This page is not about Barker as a person or her other writings, but only about her book Making of a Moonie. Sourced reviews of the book from reputable sources are welcome of course. I will remove the criticism section. Andries 16:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

As per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(books)#Note_on_notability_criteria, we need a few reliable sources that cite this book. I think Zablocki, JT Richardson, Thomas Robbins and others have cited the book. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 03:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barker's conclusions

Please provide page number for verifiablity. Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 17:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

why is that necessary when the book has an index? Andries

Sorry, I cannot give page numbers because I brought the book to the library and cannot re-lend it so quickly. I think that the article is verifiable in spite of this because the book has an index. Andries 13:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

The "Critiques" section sounds like promotional material. Were there any critical reviews? Anything that addressed the substance of the book? -- Beland 00:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Critical review

• If someone could find a more critical review from a reputable source and add a quote from it to this article, that would be appreciated. Yours, Smeelgova 08:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC).
