I have re-edited this page. One of the wikipedia helpers has said it should be moved to online. However before I do, I note that above the article that the dispute needs to be resolved. I believe the neutrality is restored. The article states what esoteric healing is and does without prejudice. The references have been minimized, and the referral links in the article have been increased. Can it therefore be understood that this dispute now resolved? If so do I have authority to publish?

 * You don't need "authority" to publish anything on Wikipedia; go right ahead, whenever and whatever you like. Everything that everyone publishes on Wikipedia has to meet its standards and abide by its policies; people assess articles and place tags into them if they perceive that there is the potential that a specific article may infringe a specific policy.  Those tags serve to notify the reader that there is something which may (or may not) infringe a specific policy; in this case, someone feels that the article is not neutral, and wishes the potential reader to bear that in mind while reading the article and to form his or her own conclusions as to the neutrality of the material.  I can't see that it could possibly be a problem to remind the reader of any Wikipedia article to maintain an open mind while reading it; my advice is for you to proceed with whatever you want to do here, because it is highly unlikely that the "dispute" will be "resolved" by any means short of an extensive discussion elsewhere, which may or may not be initiated.  My feeling is that you will have to defend the need for this article's presence on Wikipedia if you remount it, probably in an articles for deletion process, and it is unlikely that the "dispute" will remain merely at the level of its neutrality; neutrality will probably be the least of your problems.  So please do feel free to assume that you have the "authority" to publish this article; attempting to remove other people's opinions as to its nature and quality is quite another matter and will likely be impossible.  If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, feel free to leave me a note.  Accounting4Taste: talk 17:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
