I came here for an encyclopedic entry on Telekinesis, not trying to be convinced it wasn’t real. I wanted like a history, an explanation of its use in pop culture etc. Instead I got an edge lord Facebook response to a post I never saw. There is place for the fact it’s not real, but there is no information here whatsoever 2603:7000:A703:C99C:41FF:BF7D:C56C:3F7D (talk) 13:42, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

- Yes, at the very least the debunking section should come after the description of what it is and its history. Flicking through some random other languages (French, Italian, German, Norwegian) one sees the pattern you would expect of 1. what the thing is, followed by 2. people's opinions of it. It's only the English one which is putting "reactions/rebuttals" before the full description of the subject itself and the claims it makes. It reads more like a lengthy polemic than an encyclopaedic article. Unfortunately this does seem to be quite common on English Wikipedia. 86.19.7.12 (talk) 17:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
