Talk:Mind the Science

New article

Hello all - I hope you enjoy reading about this interesting book and will improve the article. I'm assuming more reliable sources will be coming out as it is reviewed. This article could use an image also. I leave you to correct my grammar and improve the article. I would even be okay if someone used Canadian spelling, but please can we stick to the formatting I used creating the article, it is so much cleaner and easy to improve editing.

Perhaps we could cite the book itself.

I notice that this article does not cite the book of focus, yet cites interviews and reviews. I own a copy through Amazon Kindle and am more than willing to write about it here. WordsAreNotViolence (talk) 19:53, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

I suppose you can if you think it will be helpful. I didn't have a copy of the book when I wrote the review, but I have a hardcopy now. Sgerbic (talk) 20:44, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

The book is over 300 pages long and I don't have all the time to edit Wikipedia. My suggestion is that the podcast interview quotes can be reduced and replaced with lines from the actual book. WordsAreNotViolence (talk) 04:29, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Why? Sgerbic (talk) 02:05, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Sorry I don’t get these replies in notifications or emails.

Because when we cover a book, it is far more important to cite the book itself than interviews. Furthermore the interview section has biased subjective claims like that “anti-psychiatry” is an anti-science movement. WordsAreNotViolence (talk) 16:14, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Excuse me? Where did you hear that we are supposed to cite the book and not the notable reviews? I just looked at your talk page and see that you have already been warned for disruption. If you are not here to edit with good-will and to build an encyclopedia then busy yourself elsewhere on social media. Sgerbic (talk) 23:09, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

View my previous edits and you will see that overwhelming amount of my edits are contributions. They often add new peer-reviewed studies, important quotes from reputable sources and important context. I've been warned for "disruption" because of ideological bias from others.

I am pretty sure that it is more important to cite a book than interviews with the author. Perhaps when I have more time, I will add lines from the book that I have read. WordsAreNotViolence (talk) 18:07, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
