Talk:Richard C. Hoagland

Lead edits
There's no point in describing three names, who deem him as a fringe figure. Unless, there's someone notable enough, who do not belong to his own camp of lunatics and object to such descriptions, that's mere semantics. Also, the views of his publisher about his works is UNDUE for lead. &#x222F; WBG converse 09:14, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * And, now I note this brilliant attempt at whitewashing. Cool. &#x222F; WBG converse 09:23, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ”Semantics” does not mean “irrelevant”. Semantics is the study of cognitive meaning, which is of paramount importance. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 15:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Fringe pseudoscience
Is fringe pseudoscience pseudoscience that is not mainstream pseudoscience? 142.163.195.205 (talk) 23:33, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Status of Hoagland's website
Today I updated someone's Ref #38 (not mine) when I noted that it linked to "enterprisemission.com" (Hoagland's original/dead URL) rather than "...missions.com" (his newer URL with the added "s"). After doing so, I decided to take a look at his site (which I hadn't done for many months) and, to my surprise, even the newer URL is now dead, and a Google search for "Richard C. Hoagland" failed to find his site. I then determined that Internet Archive last successfully archived the site in October 2023, but its subsequent crawls did not find the site. I suggest someone more experienced than myself review his article and update all relevant links to the most recent successful Internet Archive crawl (https://web.archive.org/web/20231018041054/https://www.enterprisemissions.com/). Thanks. 2603:9000:EB00:BA7:1D78:580C:CF75:CF51 (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Update: I have deleted what was originally Citation #34, as it referred to an incorrect reference, and I then revised the article's sentence accordingly with the correct Citation.  Re: my request of yesterday, I was able to take care of everything else myself except for Reference #3, which I could not find a way to revise. Its "rich-ang.jpg" link is dead, and the correct archived page is  https://web.archive.org/web/20030202040143/https://enterprisemission.com/images/rich-ang.jpg. Please make this fix.  Thank you very much. 2603:9000:EB00:BA7:1D78:580C:CF75:CF51 (talk) 18:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Update: I found where to make the fix for Ref. #3 and have just successfully done so. 2603:9000:EB00:BA7:8DA2:E901:8670:B11A (talk) 14:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Article missing a photo of Hoagland
Regarding the above flag: "It is requested that an image or photograph be included in this article to improve its quality."

I suggest using the photo at the bottom of Hoagland's "Enterprise Mission" website's home page (https://web.archive.org/web/20231018041054/https://www.enterprisemissions.com/). It is flattering, and his own website once complained about a skeptical magazine article's unflattering "sketch" (no doubt created due to unfounded photo-copyright fears) rather than having used "one of the many images of Hoagland freely available on the web" (see this complaint/quote at https://web.archive.org/web/20231204184256/https://www.enterprisemissions.com/skeptik.htm). 2603:9000:EB00:BA7:1D78:580C:CF75:CF51 (talk) 20:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
