Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ghost hunting seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Ghosts are objectively fake. Ghost hunting is often done by individuals who are taking advantage of the ignorant for profit and should link to the Wikipedia page on charlatans. That page discusses famous spiritualists who have been caught lying and faking evidence of ghosts with pseudoscience. Please consider adding the charlatan link back to the ghost hunting page, for the sake of truth and to protect the innocent people who are being lied to.

 * Of course, yes, they're fake, and there's a full criticism section at Ghost_hunting that mentions how the commercial tech doesn't actually work, and another section about Harry Price's work. If you think that's missing an angle on profit-making, by all means write about that in the article, including a link to the charlatan article if you like, and being clear about who the charlatans are and who's calling them that.
 * It's just not a great standalone link with no context in a see-also section, where the linked article doesn't go into any detail about the hunting of ghosts. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:31, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
