Talk:Thomas G. Plante

Some background potentially relevant to merger proposal
User:Ajoykt, who has taken little if any previous interest in articles about psychology or psychologists, has proposed merging this article into the Catholic Sex abuse crisis. In recent edits to this page, the user removed an external link to Plante's profile at Psychology Today (DIFF - the link was broken and easily fixable, but the user made no attempt to fix it), after inserting a tag requesting documentation of several facts that the text cited to that very profile (DIFF). Next, the user went to the article on Clinical Psychology and removed all citations to Plante's work (DIFF), with the only explanation in the change-log being the statement, "keep reliable references."

Since Plante participates in activities related to controversial issues, Wikipedia should be vigilant to ensure that Plante's coverage on Wikipedia is not biased by strong feelings related to those controversial issues. For example, Plante has participated in the screening of candidates for the clergy, and it is possible that some candidates may at times hold him responsible for any lack of complete fulfilment of their life aspirations. Any editors of Wikipedia who have had contact with Plante in such connections have a conflict of interest and are strongly discouraged from editing in relation to him. Editors who possess such a conflict of interest are also strongly encouraged to declare it when they engage in edits in relation to Plante. -- Presearch (talk) 15:27, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The links in Clinical Psychology were added by you, the creator of this page. They do not constitute notability. The notable part is Plante's work on the sex abuse issue, and it seems to me it should be placed in the context of that article. Ajoykt (talk) 16:48, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
