Happy editing! StereoFolic (talk) 16:13, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Note that I did roll back both of your changes, but please don't be discouraged! The errors (in my opinion) were subtle, and there are a lot of guidelines that are not always intuitive. Please let me know if anything is unclear after reading my edit summaries. Welcome! StereoFolic (talk) 16:16, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that you did roll back my change to "Remote viewing" article. I'm sorry, but I think you made a mistake. "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar" is about remote viewing, not clairvoyance. However, it touches the topic of clairvoyance as well, as can be understood from the following quote from a Wikipedia article: "the ability to see through playing cards, and can even predict the future". Why I believe it's about remote viewing? I watched the short film based on the story and that's why I'm certain. Here are some other Wikipedia quotes to support my point: "a man who claimed he could see and interact without using his eyes", "the patient had the ability to see even after doctors had sealed the man's eyes shut", "The Man Who Sees Without Using His Eyes". Also please note that I've added a link to the story, not the film. Maybe it makes sense to add both, but I thought the story was more worthy. I'm a bit disappointed to have such unfortunate start at Wikipedia, but that's life. ;) Hope you undo your undo after taking this message into consideration. I didn't do it because I wouldn't like to start an everlasting undo-redo cycle. Thank you for your message and for reading mine. Pure Panther (talk) 07:04, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We certainly can reinstate the changes if reliable sources can be found applying the terminology to the film/story. Applying definitions from elsewhere in Wikipedia or even on the same article is risky business, as it can easily slide into original research, which is generally not allowed. The other films mentioned in Remote viewing's "See also" section are films that are explicitly influenced by the Stargate project, which dealt with "remote viewing" in those terms explicitly. The guidelines at Synthesis may be helpful context as well. StereoFolic (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clearing away about how Wikipedia works. I didn't think that so much explicitness was necessary and also I expected that anyone would think the same way that I do about the relationship between the story and remote viewing. Maybe I'll look for reliable sources. Pure Panther (talk) 03:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
