This looks like a great outline. Make sure you post it on your article's actual page and not the wikipsych page. Also, make sure you integrate your new ideas into the existing article's section. Looking forward to seeing your article! -EM Testaccountpy242 (talk) 16:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Jonah Complex
As I told, I strongly recommend you read No original research, in particular the section found at WP:SYNTHESIS. I have removed the additions again as they contain analysis of works which are not contained in reliable secondary sources. For example, the link between the Tao Te Ching and Jonah Complex is certainly not supported by the Tao Te Ching itself, nor does it appear to be discussed in any other reliable source.
