AfC comment[edit]Please remove ALL copyrighted content before submitting for review. Theroadislong (talk) 14:13, 7 February 2016 (UTC) Project talk page[edit]I have flagged this up at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Psychology#Request_for_comments in the hope of getting expert advice --Robert EA Harvey (talk) 09:59, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Speedy deletion[edit]Contested deletion[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Carrieruggieri (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Dear Jydog, I am the creator of this article. It has been vetted by several reviewers since February. I have addressed numerous critiques from various editors. However, no reviewer has identified this article as spam. Ringbang, rejected the April 2016 version due to it appearing to be a "fringe theory." I re-wrote the article emphasizing 3rd party research sources.The article is grounded in 3rd party research sources and secondary sources. Only 8 or 10 of the 62 references are primary sources. The bibliography I added is largely primary sources. Could that be a problem? I could delete the bibliography section if that gives the appearance of advertisement. The goal of the article is to explain what AEDP is, the context of its development, and the neuroscience and psychological theory underlying its claims in how it helps. AEDP is considered a psychotherapy worthy of inclusion in the American Psychological Association's psychotherapy training DVD series. I agree wth JoeRay that the content is too dense for the average reader, and that the lead paragraph is too long. I will be working on those issues. Carrieruggieri (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Contested deletion[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because while this draft is long and promotional, it really should either be deleted via AFD or improved. This article may need to be blown up and started over, but WP:G11 isn't usually the mechanism for that. --Robert McClenon (talk) 14:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Removed[edit]Based on the two objections above (one from an uninvolved editor), I've removed the CSD template. This article has already been through AfC, and although the prose needs work, is not "unambiguous promotion" per WP:CSD#G11. If the nominator still wishes to discuss deletion, they should probably do so at AfD. Joe Roe (talk) 20:20, 21 August 2016 (UTC) This article reads like it was copied out of a textbook and most of the content that I've read so far doesn't seem appropriate for an encyclopedia article. —PermStrump(talk) 23:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
I have been waiting for someone from the psychology portal to chime in. But in the meantime, I wonder if it would be possible to remove the issue in the box that states that the article reads like a personal opinion. I have combed through and I cannot find a single opinion, or personal feeling. The entire article is an effort to distill a vast amount of information and psychology background in order to understand the information. Not a bit of is sourced from my brain. I am reporting on my understanding of what scholars, much smarter than me, have researched and practiced. It is also not possible for an article to be both too "technical," "read like a textbook," and also appear to reflect personal feelings and opinions. As to the issue of a lack of critique: There are not any written critiques that I could find. This psychotherapy model is so integrated in contemporary neuroscience and psychotherapy research, as well as traditional psychological theory, that I think critiques will be far off in the next wave of paradigm change. There are technical critiques, but these are much too technical and would require way too much background education to understand: such as, AEDP does not formally address a central theme originating in psychoanalytic psychotherapy that has influenced just about all psychotherapies, and that is the issue of "transference." I have taken the critique that the article is too technical to heart, and I am happy to work on that. However, I have to say that if I try to read a topic on wikipedia in the area of physics or mathematics, I don't understand these writings. I have zero background or frame of reference from which to understand. At the same time, and for that reason, I have no reason to look up such a topic. And, I wouldn't expect to understand. From my understanding of the criteria for a wikipedia article (neutral point of view, notability, reliable published sources), the article does meet these criteria. However, I think someone from the psychology portal could be very helpful in making critiques and suggesting or making edits. Carrieruggieri (talk) 13:19, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Helpful feedback Cordless Larry, I think I understand. At least I can make the correction you recommended. link is helpful, thank you Roger. So writing "is offered" is a self-reference? I think I get it. Totally new concept to me. Carrieruggieri (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Dear Permstrump, the article relies on secondary and 3rd party sources. Only 8 or 10 of the 55 references are primary sources. I know it's a chore, but if you were to track the references, you would see that the information is clearly secondary and 3rd party sources. My writing and presentation was to figure out how to present the material from the point of view of second and third party sources. Maybe that is why it seems textbookish? Could you direct me to an article on psychotherapy in wikipedia that represents how a wikipedia article should be written? That would help a great deal. I am not understanding the the textbook feel vs. encyclopedic. Are we in agreement that the article meets wikipedia criteria for being notable, verifiable with reliable sources and from a neutral point of view? If the problem is style, a frame of reference would help me with making needed changes. Thank-you. Carrieruggieri (talk) 21:59, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Got it! And, thank you for that reference, I can't believe I missed that one! I would love what you can send, I can't access the full text. Thank you. Carrieruggieri (talk) 00:25, 24 August 2016 (UTC) Dear PermStrump, on the issue of the focus of modality in the article, I want to try to pitch to you the reasoning behind this emphasis. The modality mirrors the theory, and the modality is what the research is concerned with: AEDP modality was developed out of contemporary psychotherapy research and neuroscience research on factors that promote positive change in psychotherapy. The examples of therapist's statements are not there for the purposes of an "how to," but are there to help the reader understand a concept. I think if one is only curious about the main components of the treatment, then that is satisfied, and if if one wants to understand the 'how', that too is satisfied. This is an important point because as it is stated in the article, Fosha's development of the theory is based upon her belief that a "model of therapy must be based on theory of what brings about positive change in psychotherapy." When a client, a colleague, or any interested person asks me what AEDP is, the next question is "but how does it work?" Trying to answer that question is what led me to want to write this article for wikipedia. I'm trying to get my hands on the article you recommended so that I can model what you suggested as a good way to explain core concepts for a wikipedia article. Carrieruggieri (talk) 12:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
Sources[edit]The following list of further reading was removed from the article on 22 August 2016 (quite rightly, as it is far too long and of limited to use to the general reader), but I thought I'd preserve it here in case it's of use in improving this article further in future:
I think it's fine to remove all this. I included it because the first reviewer to reject my submission thought I had too may citations, she suggested a bibliography. I guess I thought I had to include absolutely everything. Carrieruggieri (talk) 13:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC) Image[edit]On removing the image: There is no discussion here about the decision to remove the image. The inclusion of the image went through the wikipedia copyright process. Somewhere there must be documentation of the permission given by the author of the image to use it for the article. The diagram helps to understand the section on Theory of change/model of therapy. Why does it's inclusion call into question the copyright status of the article in general? Carrieruggieri (talk) 14:00, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Regarding image, PermStrump, for me the image is a visual for all the text in the section theory of change/model of therapy. It doesn't actually add information, it condenses the text into a visual. If you would have one more look and make a judgement, then I will go with your judgement. Carrieruggieri (talk) 10:16, 25 August 2016 (UTC) correction on an edit[edit]I think Joe Roe (?) re-wrote the lead paragraph, and I like what he did. However, I just noticed that the sentence "...initially developed by Diana Fosha" is incorrect. The problem is the word "initially". So far Diana Fosha is the only developer of AEDP. She has co-authored articles, and AEDP trainers and clinicians have elaborated on aspects (I did not use these sources), however the major concepts are completely from Fosha 2001, 2009, and 2013 as cited in the first sentence. I did not remove this wording, I will wait for the author of that sentence to respond. Carrieruggieri (talk) 00:17, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Article moved back to draft for further revision[edit]I have just copied the article back to Draft:Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy, where it can be revised per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy. I can probably help revise it, if I can find enough time to contribute. I am well read in the psychotherapy literature, and I think I have a good sense of what this article may need to address the problems mentioned (see my comment in the deletion discussion). Biogeographist (talk) 16:16, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Another round of edits[edit]Hello, this is carrie ruggieri ok so I at least know where to communicate. And thank you very much for responding so quickly and moving the article to the draft page. I am very willing to write in encyclopedic style. But I honestly don't understand what that means - because I really think I did. And I don't know how to be any more neutral than writing from the point of view of 3rd party and secondary sources. If it is a source problem that is easy to fix because there are many many more 3rd party sources since this was published. If it seems like a "personal essay" or my point of view, then that is simply my writing style that conveys warmth. Again, how can it not be from a neutral point of view if every sentence is referenced and the writing was structured around all the references I could find -- that are NOT primary. Because references lead back to the originator doesn't mean it is a biased piece of writing -- how can one write about psychoanalysis and not reference Freud for example, or write about behaviorism and not reference Skinner and Watson. Actually, I am looking at the behaviorism article right now -- It gets quite dense and is a beautiful synthesis. I like that article. I think it is what people expect when they go to wikipedia. I don't see how mine is different. I studied experimental psychology and clinical psychology at the New School for Social Research - I was there for 6 years and involved in many research endeavors. I do understand how to write from a neutral point of view. I understand how to use references. I understand how to critique - goodness I learned how to be merciless. If there is a psychologist who can look at this I think it would be very clear why this is a non-biased, neutral point of view article. Please don't punish me for writing with a tone of warmth and feeling - its one of my assets. Perhaps it is a reflection of the lack of female editors that gives the typical articles a certain more muscular feel - Im reaching for an understanding here. As I explained, no one has critiqued aedp, at least not in a publication. And, the reason for that is because contemporary therapies are in reaction to models of the previous zeitgeist - which was cognitive therapy. So maybe in a decade there will be lots of critique on aedp and emotion focused therapies because a neuro-focused approach will muscle in to replace its present status. As a neutral writer I cannot write a critique if it is not referenced. If you want, I can think of many areas to critique - legitimate critiques. but I don't have references. Please highlight a paragraph or something, anything, or a section and say write this like (and maybe give me an example from another article). 17:39, 22 October 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrieruggieri (talk • contribs)
To Judog, I just read WP:Expert. I still, even mores after reading it, believe that my edits follow the community norms. I gave my background because I feel misunderstood and I thought by giving my background it would help you all see where I am coming from Carrieruggieri (talk) 17:49, 22 October 2017 (UTC) Biogeographist, I cannot find your suggestions and the deletion section discussion. I would like to have them and perhaps we can work together to make this article fit in with the wikipedia standards. thank you Carrie Carrieruggieri (talk) 17:55, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Jytdog, I don't want to argue. I do want to learn. It helps to know that I am not the only person to feel bewildered. Thank you Carrieruggieri (talk) 16:13, 23 October 2017 (UTC) Examples of criticism sections in other psychotherapy articles[edit]To begin, here's a list of criticism sections in other psychotherapy articles. We can discuss these further if needed, but I will begin by simply listing them as resources.
Some of the sections listed above are stronger than others; in particular, I think that many of these criticism sections could be considerably expanded. A possible next step, which I don't have time to do now but could do later, is to evaluate which of the above-listed articles are strongest and have the most potential to serve as a model for the future direction of the article on AEDP. On a related note, but slightly off-topic: I was surprised, while looking for examples, to find articles that I expected to report criticism of their subjects but didn't, such as Transference, which I tagged with Template:POV and commented on its talk page. Biogeographist (talk) 19:31, 22 October 2017 (UTC) The easiest way to find examples of good articles on Wikipedia may be the lists of featured articles and good articles. A couple of related topics in good articles are Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Psychodrama, which I don't consider to be extraordinary articles but do seem to be relatively clearly written. Note that the article on NVC was once nominated for deletion, which shows that being nominated for deletion does not preclude an article from eventually ascending to good-article status. I wonder why there are not more articles about psychotherapy in the good-article and featured-article lists? Biogeographist (talk) 20:03, 22 October 2017 (UTC) Thank yo Biogeographist, I will look at this carefully. I think I have some ideas about how to restructure the entire article. Perhaps if it was a lot shorter and focused upon the main concepts as opposed to getting into the deeper layers. I like to have context when I learn something new, but maybe that is not an encyclopedia approach. Carrieruggieri (talk) 16:20, 23 October 2017 (UTC) Simpler word choice, and other issues[edit]@Carrieruggieri: I looked at your most recent edits, and I think you are headed in the right direction, but I think even simpler words would be preferable in many places. For example:
The "4 states, 3 state transformations" table does not need to be a table, since the first column is just headings. Change the first column into headings and the second column into body text. Description of the states could be considerably simpler. Fosha has a much simpler description of the states in at least one of her publications. I would remove the claims that metaprocessing is a "unique" contribution of AEDP. I see that the source (Iwakabe & Conceição) calls it "unique", but I doubt that it is truly unique; it seems to me that many Focusing practitioners emphasize what is mostly the same thing as metaprocessing (but the Focusing theorists use different language). Also note these relevant sentences from Iwakabe & Conceição's last paragraph:
AEDP's language is unique, but many of the psychotherapies use their own unique language, so using unique language is paradoxically not a uniquely differentiating factor. Plus, such claims of uniqueness are probably one of the reasons why another editor tagged this article with Template:Advert. Flashy uniqueness claims sound too much like marketing. On a related note, the APA's video series does not need to be mentioned in the lead. Mentioning the videos there makes it sound like AEDP is trying too hard to be legit. Yes, I know, the various psychotherapies do jockey to be legit, but that jockeying doesn't need to take place on Wikipedia. Biogeographist (talk) 03:05, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Page numbers[edit]I've added Template:Page numbers improve to the article because more and/or more precise page numbers are needed. Adding Template:Rp (with the relevant page numbers, for example: Transformance Journal[edit]I've removed the reference to Transformance Journal, which appears to be an internal publication of the AEDP Institute. The publication does not have an ISSN as academic journals do; it is not available in libraries according to WorldCat; it is not indexed in Google Scholar (which is setting the bar low, since Google Scholar is not very selective) nor is it indexed in PsycINFO. See, for example, WP:SCHOLARSHIP: "Care should be taken with journals that exist mainly to promote a particular point of view. A claim of peer review is not an indication that the journal is respected, or that any meaningful peer review occurs. Journals that are not peer reviewed by the wider academic community should not be considered reliable, except to show the views of the groups represented by those journals." For these reasons, Transformance Journal does not appear to be an appropriate source for Wikipedia. Biogeographist (talk) 20:03, 6 November 2017 (UTC) Meta-therapeutic processing[edit]Biogeographist, I don't know how to start a new section, I had to delete this sentence you created: "Meta-therapeutic processing, which psychiatrist and psychoanalyst James Grotstein recognized as a technical innovation by Diana Fosha, was later incorporated into focusing-oriented therapy, a method of psychotherapy originally developed by Eugene Gendlin, whose ideas also influenced Fosha's development of AEDP" because it is not the case that meta-therpautic processing was incorporated into Focusing, though I see the similarity. Carrieruggieri (talk) 17:11, 14 November 2017 (UTC) Biogeographist, I put that sentence back in the draft: if you were referencing Ann Weiser Cornell, then what you write is correct. Thank you. Great finding. Carrie Carrieruggieri (talk) 12:17, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
@Biogeographist, great reference - thank you!Carrieruggieri (talk) 12:40, 23 November 2017 (UTC) Sorry, I followed the new link from the afc editor to an old message. I think I can ping you by using @. Here is a try: @biogeographist Carrieruggieri (talk) 10:50, 28 April 2020 (UTC) Request for comment[edit]@DGG: In September 2017 you nominated this article for deletion with the summary: "This is a textbook chapter, written from the POV of a supporter of the movement. I am unable to edit this into an encycopedia article, but I will withdraw the afd if someone can manage to do it. I hope that will be possible, for there are sufficient references that the topic should be covered." I did not edit this article prior to the AfD discussion, but I have tried to help revise the article since then, and I wanted to ask if, in your opinion, the article is getting closer to a state that could eventually be acceptable for mainspace. This is the older version that you nominated for deletion, which you could compare to the current version. Thanks for any feedback you can give. Your response may help me decide whether to continue working on this article or not. Anyone else is welcome to comment as well, of course. Biogeographist (talk) 15:02, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
@DGG and @Biogeopraphist: I wrote the original version of the article. And the responses to the issues noted (1-4) are my responses in quotes. Biogeogrpahist, you stated that you will stop working on the article to due issue 1. The lack of critique. The lack of notable critique is not due to the subject matter of the article, AEDP, but is due to the nature of the overall field of contemporary psychotherapy. There are articles published in wikipedia on contemporay psychotherapies. I have read them all and I have read their critiques. I suppose any critique that applies to any of these psychotherapies also applies to AEDP. Contemporary psychotherapies are built upon substantive critiques of long established psychotherapies such as cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The critiques are based upon advances in psychotherapy research. And the methods of contemporary psychotherapies are increasingly grounded in the research. If we were to wait for contemporary psychotherapies become challenged by new research findings or new technologies, we'd be waiting very many years. It was easier to critique psychotherapies when the methodology was more deeply grounded in theory as opposed to research and neuroscience. So, I think maybe someone who is wiser than me can come up with a way to address this problem. We could talk about phenomena described by AEDP that is observed but not yet verified by research, or is still an open-ended discussion about what it is or what it means. However, this is not exactly a critique. Or maybe it is. At the same time there is the requirement to not be too technical or too textbookish. But I think if AEDP cannot be on wikipedia due to lack of critique, then emotion focused therapy and attachment based psychotherapy, compassion focused therapy, along with a some others must also be deleted. I think the critiques section in emotion focused therapy is about psychotherapy in general, so it is not exactly a critique of emotion focused therapy. And the statement that Ecker critiques eft for stating that the change factor in eft is emotion, is bending the perspective in order to create a critique section. Ecker knows and eft knows, that there are many change factors. But, I will create a critique section if it is required. Again, compare this article to other's published. AEDP is more rigorous in its grounding of theory in research. There are more research based references than theoretical references. I think that makes AEDP an exceptionally solid contemporary model of psychotherapy. 2. TheAEDP article is heavily referenced with 3rd party sources. They are not positive or negative sources they are 3rd party sources that verify a claim. I have compared the quality of 3rd party sources in this aedp article with other articles on a psychotherapy, and this AEDP article has many more 3rd party sources. 3. that is easy to do. There is a massive research underway and perhaps some preliminary results. There are also many dissertations. And it is easy to get the number of practitioners. 4. I was told that I only need to say I am a practitioner, which I have said. I was told that I don't need to do anymore than to say that I am a practitioner. I believe that conversation is within this talk page somewhere. I thought that issue was settled a long time ago. I am not an agent, I am not an employee, I hold no official capacity. I am not writing this article for financial gain. I have not been offered money etc... I began to write this article years ago to challenge myself. And writing is my way to best understand a topic. I think AEDP is very rich and complex so to write a coherent and comprehensive article about it for wikipedia would force me to really learn this topic. That is why i took this on. Carrieruggieri (talk) 21:10, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
@DGG and @sulferboy: dear DGG and sulferboy, I have overhauled the article and addressed the issues that you each identified as problematic. 1. I updated to include references(2cd and 3rd party) since the original article was written in 2016. I have included every reference on AEDP (2CD AND 3RD party) I could find through google scholar. There are original references because if someone wanted to validate the accuracy of my statements the reference is available. I included a research reference section but I think that is not going to be acceptable - just in case, I thought it would be useful for a student who is interested in AEDP but I have no objection to deleting it. 2. I added the critique section that was requested. I did not have references for critiques in 2016 but they have now popped up. There are more but I don't think they add value to the article because they are versions of the same critiques. I could add the critiques that apply to psychotherapy issues in general. I will do that if you want, but I don't think it will add anything of interest to someone who is curious about what AEDP is. 3. I went through and re-wrote anything that sounded technical or jargon-ish. I italicized the necessary technical words but I hope explained them. I tried to write the article so that general simplified sentence is followed by a more in-depth description - I tried to think about how to layer it so that it could be understandable to anyone and also of informative to professionals. So every sentenced I asked if there was an extraneous word, and if it added something important. Therefore, I think that is the reason for the criticism I can't seem to overcome, which is that it is written like a personal essay. 4. The thing about neutral point of view: it is neutral because there is nothing that indicates that I am promoting this form therapy over other forms of therapy. I wrote it for people who, like me, when they want to learn more about a topic they go to wikipedia. There is no other way to learn about a topic in an in-depth way that is readable. I looked at all the other psychotherapy articles and I notice that wikipedia reviewers tend to give this criticism in general to psychotherapy articles. The one article that is does not have this problem with reviewers is EMDR, but I thought that article's emphasis was on the problems with EMDR and did not help a reader understand what EMDR is and how it works. 5.Conflict of interest issue: When I started writing this article in the sandbox in 2014 I was a psychotherapist who had taken some workshops in AEDP. I wanted to challenge myself to write an article for wikipedia because 1. I noticed there wasn't one and 2. I thought it would be a good challenge for me to really learn AEDP - I was curious about the origins of these ideas etc. Now it is 6 years later. I have no official capacity within the institute: I am not yet certified though I am on the track to be and I am years away from being a supervisor. I was never asked to write an article for AEDP on wikipedia. Recently I was asked to be the associate editor for the AEDP journal because for many years I have been writing summaries of the articles for the AEDP listserv. I am one of aedp listserv monitors. Outside of these volunteer roles, I do not gain from the promotion of AEDP. I do not earn money as a supervisor. As a therapist, people do not seek me out because I am an AEDP therapist. 6. Length of article: you felt it was too long. Biogeographist felt it was appropriate given the topic. It is comparable in length to other psychotherapy articles. Also, a quest for the basic information about what AEDP is can gotten from the overview. Each level of reading on is designed to elaborate on the previous or prepare for what comes next. So someone doesn't have to read the whole article if they simply want to know what AEDP is. If someone want to really know from a professional point of view they can read on. But for the full picture everything that is there is necessary. There was a lot I did not include because it would be in the weeds for most people. I would welcome any advice on how to make the article more encyclopedic. Thank you. Carrieruggieri (talk) 12:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC) how do I submit this for review?[edit]I have made extensive revision, and added critique section.

discussion for 2020 revision of 2017 deleted article.[edit]Hi Biogeographist, I read your comment in the talk section of Diana fosha article. you advised me to continue here. This article is almost completely re-written. I have been working on it everyday for many hours a day since mid-march. There are many new references and I did a lot more cleaning out of technical language. There is also the critique section that had been required but I could not find references for at the time. How do I address conflict of interest? Is that a formal process (a form to fill out?), or do I just explain my relationship to AEDP in the talk section? Your help is very much appreciated!

Carrieruggieri (talk) 16:28, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
question about original research[edit]this article has been rejected twice based on the No original research criteria. I thought original research meant writing based on the articles or research from a primary source. However, I look it up on the wikipedia info page and it states that original research issue is asking editors to not synthesize material, which could imply the editor's personal opinion. So, I have taken out as much of the primary references as is sensible. and wrote from 2cd and 3rd party sources. I have not synthesized or summarized without basing it on a reference. If someone could highlight sections where it seems it is my synthesis, that could be helpful. Thanks Carrieruggieri (talk) 18:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC) |

- Thank you for catching my error and deleting "empirically validated." I should have written "empirically supported." Carrieruggieri (talk) 20:01, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Weasel_word The geocentric model and Flat earth are empirically supported. But they aren't true. Polygnotus (talk) 11:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- The 2020 AEDP book published by the American Psychological Association (APA) repeatedly uses the term "empirically supported". In psychology anyway,"empirically supported" is not confused with "empirically validated." And "validated" doesn't mean true. Although I understand that readers may interpret "validated" or even "supported" as "true". Would it be ok to say: "AEDP is a model of therapy that is supported by ongoing research" then citing the research? Carrieruggieri (talk) 13:16, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Since AEDP is a very recently developed form of therapy, and there isn't much research supporting (or debunking) it at the moment (and none of what is available is what I would consider "high quality" research) we'd best avoid giving the impression that it is "supported" (or "debunked") by research or science. When better research with a much larger sample size gets published by an independent source that has nothing to gain from AEDPs success financially and it indicates that AEDP is awesome, we can change the article to reflect that.

- I get where you are coming from. Is there anything else that appears weasel-like? I would like to correct the reasons for the template. Carrieruggieri (talk) 16:47, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
No article on Wikipedia is perfect (for example a lot of them should be updated because stuff keeps happening... everywhere and all the time). This is to be expected when writing an encyclopedia. The trick is to not worry too much about it, someone will probably come along and improve it. David Goodman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DGG) placed the weasel template.

- The offending statement has been removed. The article was already corrected for problems noted in the tag. The same tag was removed a year ago and the only change in the article was the attempt to update it with the research finding. Can only editor who placed the tag undo it?
