Starting this

So I think this is a nice beginning of a navbox. I think dividing the navbox into the three tiers is a good way to keep things well organized. Let's remember to consider WP:PSCI when adding anything to "Examples". I hope this is useful. -- Levine2112 discuss 05:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that some editors were cross editing with me. Sorry, I didn't notice. Hmm. They want to include text about who edited Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience and the Skeptic Encyclopedia, as well as provide a synonym of a term. I don't think these are necessary in a navbox because one can easily find out who the editor of the resources is merely by clicking the link. The same goes for the synonym. I think brevity and compactness is a concern when dealing with navboxes. We don't want this one to get unruly in size or else we will have to auto-hide it on pages where it appears. -- Levine2112 discuss 05:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see you are treating each entry here as an official Category, per PSCI. I hope you have checked each article and ensured that it is also in the Category. If you are doing this, then this template shouldn't be used anywhere else, not even as a substitute for a See also section. In fact it would be a superfluous duplication of editorially chosen examples from an already existing Category at the bottom of the article. -- Fyslee / talk 05:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure what you are meaning here, but yes, the item listed under example should conform to WP:PSCI. If any item doesn't, then it should most definitely be removed! Thanks for pointing that out. -- Levine2112 discuss 06:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder

Folks, please remember to discuss controversial issues at talk, don't just battle it out in edit summaries. Thanks, Elonka 05:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I totally edited over a couple of edits from others, which I didn't even realize were made because I was copy-and-pasting my work. I apologize; didn't realize anyone was actually editing this besides me at this point. Anyhow, as I say above, I don't think including the editors' names or a synonym to "Pseudoskepticism" is all that important in the navbox. -- Levine2112 discuss 05:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Levine2112 removed several links from the original info box I created and continued to remove the links. QuackGuru 05:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please list the one's you believed I removed here and we can discuss? -- Levine2112 discuss 05:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Levine2112, you have made about 3 or 4 reverts. I would appreciate it if you restored the missing links instead of making reverts. QuackGuru 06:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see which links you are speaking of. Can you please tell me which links are missing? -- Levine2112 discuss 06:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check the template history.[1] I restored the missing links but it was deleted. By the way, you made 4 reverts. QuackGuru 22:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide diffs of these four reverts? --Elonka 22:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why? QuackGuru 22:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't see anything missing other than the editor names and the synonymous term. Please check again and let me know what is missing. Thank you. -- Levine2112 discuss 23:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wait. Are you talking about Naturopathic medicine? There is no mention of pseudoscience in the article on that one, so per WP:PSCI it shouldn't be part of this template. Is there anything else? -- Levine2112 discuss 23:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see I left of "James Randi Foundation" from resources. Again, just an oversight. I think that is it. Anything else is either superfluous (name of a book's editor, synonym) or would violate WP:PSCI with its inclusion (Naturopathic medicine). -- Levine2112 discuss 00:37, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List from Pseudoscience article

Here is the list from which this template was based. I crossed out items which either are superfluous or violate WP:PSCI. -- Levine2112 discuss 00:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
