Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:14, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Magicians of the Gods
Hi DrowningEnglish. Thanks for your email about Magicians of the Gods. I hope you don't mind me replying here, since it's about an on-wiki matter.

I added the POV tag for two reasons. One, because of the synopsis section, which presented Hancock's claims as if they were fact (or at least plausible facts). I've rewritten that section so that isn't so much of a concern anymore. But also, the article as a whole does not include any sceptical criticism, which is a problem when the book is pseudoscience. Our approach to "fringe" topics like this can be found at Fringe theories. In short, it's vital that they are presented neutrally in relation to the mainstream consensus in the relevant field, and that articles on fringe theories do not inadvertently end up using Wikipedia's voice to promote or lend legitimacy to the theory.

I removed the second review because it was from a fringe website (Ancient Origins) which we don't consider a reliable source. Wikipedia articles should only contain information from reliable sources.

Overall it's not a bad article at all, I just think it needs a little work to bring it into line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 19:19, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
