Fair use rationale for Image:Mooremcoverphoto.jpg
Image:Mooremcoverphoto.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Ketamine Death?
"'The Priestess', aged 50, disappeared on a freezing winter's night in January, 1979. Her bleached skeleton was found two years later. She had gone at night into a nearby forest, and frozen to death after injecting herself with all the ketamine she could find (Jansen 2000)."

Legitimate? Should this be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.253.36.46 (talk) 02:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I do not think that MAPS is a publisher that meets the reliable sources guidelines - i.e. posessing a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. It would seem to be a junk science advocacy publisher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.41 (talk) 04:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * See D.M.Turner talk page for further discussions of Jansen's book. Whatever MAPS reputation is (and the wikipedia guidelines are not very clear on what is reliable and what is not), Jansen seems a well-established researcher published in reputable journals (including BMJ). The third party reviews of the book (including Rick Strassman's) are also supportive. I see no reason to discredit it, unless further grounds are provided.

The suitability of Jansen's book as a source for the purposes of this article is discussed and confirmed here. InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Sufficiency of sources
One editor claims that this discussion demonstrates a consensus that this article is adequately sourced and that notability has been demonstrated. There is nothing in that discussion that suggests either. Bongo  matic  03:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I have to request you to read again: "The book having been reviewed as acceptable for the sociology of ketamine use in an academic setting, should be reliable for this" (by Fifelfoo). Thank you! InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 03:24, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * First, your reading of "this" is very different from my own. It can only be read as referring to "the sociology of ketamine use in an academic setting" and/or "Turner died on New Year's Eve 1996 after injecting an unknown quantity of ketamine while in a bathtub."
 * Second, even one (other) editor's view on a source does not represent a consensus. Bongo  matic  03:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So how many editors have expressed their support of your position? Unless you can raise substantial objections, I will remove the notability and reliability tags within 1 day. Thank you for your cooperation.
 * PS: The cases of Moore and Turner are virtually identical: they are 2 individuals who experimented with ketamine, wrote some finely-worded accounts of their subjective experiences, and eventually died in ways that have been linked to their ketamine use. They have been extensively featured in Jansen's book, which has been in turn reviewed positively by a 3rd party well-established researcher (Rick Strassman) in an academic journal published by Springer, which is itself peer-reviewed. InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 03:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A single source is almost never sufficient. And the single editor did not agree that the source was sufficient for the purposes you state. Moreover, more editors have now expressed concern with the source that have embraced it. If you continue to remove tags without addressing the article concerns, you are likely to find that this article is nominated for deletion. Bongo  matic  03:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The only other editor who expressed concerns about the source is the person who requested a 3rd party opinion on the reliability discussion page. He did not provide any further input after the details of the academic review have been brought to the fore.
 * It is incorrect that no single editor agreed with my opinion. Please read the discussion again. Here is another clearly-worded quote: "Okay to use for social use of Ketamine, subjective effects, drug culture, etc." InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 04:00, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Class please
Can someone kindly show what class of article this now is since I expanded it and it's no longer a stub? Is this a good time to remove the stub tag? Thanks. Manytexts (talk) 10:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Who was Moore's fourth husband?
In the Concord Library information, her co-author of Journeys into the Bright World, and fourth husband is Alltounian (Howard "Sunny" Alltounian); in Rage to Kill Anne Rule writes of Dr. Walter "Happy" Boccaci as her husband living together in a duplex when she disappeared (chapter includes pages 251-262). What to do? Manytexts (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Death date?
The lede gives a precise date for her death. But this is not known. Valetude (talk) 20:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
