The author, or perhaps the author's affiliates, are doing battle with RationalWiki over the right to have PSI research and other nonsense treated as factual on Wikipedia. http://wikipediawehaveaproblem.com/2015/11/how-rational-wiki-abuses-its-google-page-rank-for-personal-attacks-slander-and-harassment/ http://wikipediawehaveaproblem.com/2015/11/how-rational-wiki... Or at least they claim they are. RationalWiki's page seems to suggest that they are not the ones editing Wikipedia to reflect the skeptical viewpoint in this case. This was linked from the article here posted, which is the only reason I know about it. But anyway, it does not do much to inspire confidence.

> PSI research and other nonsense What is PSI here? The disambiguation page on Wikipedia doesn't suggest a fitting expansation AFAICS.

  In context, PSI likely means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psionics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psionics

That's misinformation. I have nothing to do with PSI, i just focused on two biographies of two individuals who are fringe proponents. I specifically only edited basic biographical meta data. My detractors want to paint me as a fringe promoter so as to discredit my study.

  He that lieth with dogs shall rise up with fleas. All I know about you is that you spent some time working on pseudoscientists' Wikipedia pages, including editing Deepak Chopra's page while being paid by Deepak Chopra, and now have some beef with RationalWiki and Wikipedia. This pattern matches a little too well for me to want to spend time looking into it more deeply. Best of luck.

    excuse you? "spent some time working on pseudoscientists pages" IRL means I edited two biographical articles and focused primarily on meta data and non controversial biographical facts. Since when is someone accused of being a "liar" based on what articles they edit on Wikipedia? If I edit an article on Germany, does that make me German?
