While I'm not questioning in any way your intentions on that article, you should be aware of Wikipedia policy on verifiability, reliable sources, and biographies of living people. In particular, statements made about living people which could be contentious are likely to be removed, if the person adding the statements does not provide verifiable, reliable sources for their information. Before that happens, you should add references for your information, using the guidance here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:04, 5 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for the guidance, this is the first article I've edited on wiki. I don't think any of the additional biographical details I've added are contentious, and I've pruned away the statements which are not accurate. Each of the pieces of biographical information in the 'training and early career' section can be referenced to Brennan's book, which has an auto-biographical section in it. I've referenced two of the biographical details in the article to it, and I'm unclear if I need to add any additional references to it. In my experience of writing papers with the APA style of referencing, it isn't neccessary to reference every single sentence, so I hope my references are adequate. If not, I can certainly add more reference points.--Rhymeswithmonet (talk) 14:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you're doing just fine. I'll have a look through the article, and make any changes if they are needed.  That article has been contentious in the past, with questions raised about its neutrality - but, the more editors add to it, the better it should become.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:12, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, yes I remember the page was edited considerably to remove several non-neutral statements, keeping the biographical elements. What I'm not sure might be contentious is the text in the "Ideas and theories" section, such as 'Brennan claims to receive intuitive information about her clients'. I'm unclear whether that's sufficiently netural, as such a sentence is only a statement of her belief (and is one of the things she is famous for, in the new age field), or whether it is contentious because of the lack of evidence around such claims (and the wider 'science vs mysticism' debate). My instinct is that it's ok, when I look at pages like Scientology for style comparison with the tone of neutral reporting on other contentious and unproven ideas. --Rhymeswithmonet (talk) 17:43, 5 July 2011 (UTC)debate)

Hi Rhymeswithmonet, you had uploaded this image some years ago with the credit "Photo by Eveline Strebinger". However, a permission by said Mrs. Strebinger is missing. Therefore the image has now been requested for deletion on Commons. If you are said Mrs. Strebinger or if you have her permission (free license, not just "for Wikipedia"), please forward it asap to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. --Túrelio (talk) 08:03, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
