Spam filter false positive
Note that I wasn't able to post one of my references due to the spam filter. Here is the link that I was attempting to post (edited to where it cannot be clicked and is not filtered): www.ezinearticles.com/?Fear-of-Wasps---How-to-Overcome-Phobia-of-Wasps-Easily&id=1560976 (Fear of Wasps - How to Overcome Phobia of Wasps Easily)

Note that this is not a malicious evasion of the spam filter. This is a good faith edit to note a false positive in the spam filter, and I do not want my edit to be misinterpreted. Also note that this reference is reliable, as this particular Ezine article was written by an expert author, as you can see when you scroll down to "Article Source". -- IRP ☎ 01:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * If we read the posted article, we see that the value of this method of reducing fear of wasps is not shown from any reliable sources. All we can tell is that there is a list of people who will offer their hypnotherapy services for this purpose. So far, not much more than advertising. We do not have any Wikipedia article on J. J. Seymour, the author of this Ezine article, and we see only the vaguest statement of his credentials. EdJohnston (talk) 05:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll place refimprove on the page for now, and if you or anybody else comes up with a better solution, please post here. -- IRP ☎ 14:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Move complete
'Sphexophobia' was moved (and redirected) to 'Fear of wasps' to be consistent with Apiphobia redirecting to Fear of bees. – •Raven .talk 02:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
