hypnosis NPOV ?[edit]

Hi Bernard, I would like you to indicate what exactly the NPOV dipute is about on the Hypnosis article, since I'm curious. (In the meantime, I'm removing the tag.) Thx.  Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (talk) 12:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fox News Channel and NPOV[edit]

Your assertion that you are creating a more neutral sentence is completely inaccurate, and your edit summary which implies I am enforcing a liberal bias is unacceptable. First, please read WP:NPOV, then read Wikipedia:Reliable sources. The sources provided for the statement you are altering do not claim only liberals accuse FNC of bias. If you can prove this to be true, using a reliable source, then your edit will be neutral. Until then, it is biased, original research, and far from neutral. Please revert your edit. - auburnpilot talk 20:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transhumanism[edit]

They argue that it is a flaw, not a perceived flaw. What is described is the arugment. The other edit was reverted by mistake, sorry. Zazaban (talk) 00:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. --Bernard Marx (talk) 00:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:[edit]

The suffix -phobia does indeed typically refer to an "irrational" fear, though it may also simply connote a "strong aversion to." The definition intended by sociologists doesn't necessarily include this factor of irrationality. In the context of Islamophobia, the phobia is supposed to refer to a social anxiety (Gottschalk 2007). The original source itself (Encyclopedia of Race and Ethnic studies) doesn't use scare quotes in this instance either. Regards, ITAQALLAH 22:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
