Sylvia Browne

Hi, Anynobody. In regards to my inquiry about Sylvia Browne's about solving "case after case", a recent exposé on Browne done on Anderson Cooper 360 mentions a few that were sent to the show from Browne's own office. Even her official 'hits' are questionable, one can completely be dismissed. I'd appreciate your input and how best to add this new information to Browne's article.

Here's part one

and part two

I appreciate the links Throw, to be honest I was actually trying to figure a way to work them in myself. Cooper's report was great, but the sad thing is he isn't the first person to do a really great job exposing her as either a deluded moron or conniving fraud. Along those lines I got to thinking maybe the article needs a bit more emphasis on her felony guilty plea for securities fraud. She later claimed that she had not used her "psychic" powers to endorse a married couple and some guy into each investing $20,000 in her and her ex's gold mine.

It occurred to me that since she has been in this "field" since around 1974; She was using her "abilities" even if she didn't say so directly to her victims in the 1992 fraud case. If I really believed she was "gifted", the fact that she is in on the deal tells me the mine will pay off! She's a psychic! However if I were skeptical of psychic phenomenon, there is no way I'd fork over $20,000 to invest in a psychic and her husband to do anything. I don't know her personally but something tells me her "gifts" and "powers" would have at least come up in general conversation while in her presence.

Starting from that, then going through her documented mistakes one by one, and finally working in high profile media stuff. Like the Anderson Cooper report, James Randi's 1,000,000 challenge, and maybe even a bit of Larry King's recent show that she skipped after she was proven wrong again about that missing teenager. (I'm hoping Larry King is realizing that she may have made a fool of him for his support in the past). Anynobody 06:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Your barnstar

I put a well deserved barnstar on your userpage. Let me know if you'd prefer to leave your userpage blank and I'll cut and paste it here :) --Ubiq 01:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

It's just fine, I was afraid I'd actually have to write about myself to get my name to show up as a blue link. This saves me the trouble. Thanks Anynobody 01:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Help in finding source

I saw an earlier message from you recently regarding the controversial action taken by C.V. in regards to B.S. You mentioned that this was at the request of B.S.'s mother, which would be good information to add to the articles. Where did you find this? -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Off the top of my head I don't remember, but I'll go over my browsers history and find it. It may take a few hours, but I'll post it here when/if I find it. Anynobody 21:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Now I remember, sorry if I wrote her mother requested it. If you point me to where that is I'll fix it, I actually meant family. Which was an assumption on my part, since reprogrammers tend to want money I assume either her mother or perhaps ex husband (I read in her usenet posts that she used to be married to a guy named Schwarz.) I apologize for any confusion, Anynobody 06:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Wow. I want one of those bats. :-D --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 09:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

From what I've seen you don't fit the criteria. Wikipedia:Other awards/Wiffle.Wikidudeman ^(talk) 10:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up

Honestly, I didn't even know that Wikidudeman had responded to me on his talk page. My apologies. Thanks for the heads up. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 09:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, I understand how it can happen. Thanks for the prompt reply. Anynobody 10:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

This isn't a reply to the bot, but rather anyone following up on it. I didn't upload it originally. The photo was of a portion of a 5th grade yearbook, and another editor was good enough to blank out the names and pixelate the faces of the irrelevant students. For privacy concerns and the benefit of slight reduction in file size the adjustment seems to still fulfill the original intent. Anynobody 04:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
