- Thank you for the welcome and for your help. I think the signature issue was due to a markup error. I think I've fixed it now? aeon-lakes (talk) 21:02, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, looks like it! --Chris Howard (talk) 18:37, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi FormerGC, suitable secondary sources would be useful if you have them. I'm tied up doing real life stuff at present so haven't had chance to edit. aeon-lakes (talk) 22:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- I have a two+ page bio of Taibi that I created that has lots of facts mostly from primary sources, though some secondary, along with a comprehensive bibliography of his work. Do you know of a way I can share that with you as a start? I'm not knowledgeable about HTML formatting or I might try my hand at the edits myself. FormerGC (talk) 18:20, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
- Therein lies the problem. Your TK bio is research if it uses mainly primary sources. The only things that can go on wikipedia are from secondary sources, which you cite in the article. If your bio is accepted for publication elsewhere then it becomes a secondary source and citable here. I also have a fair amount of material —check out my sandbox at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Aeon-lakes/sandbox, I have much of it in pdf form— but much of it is either primary material or not citable because it's too difficult to access. I'd be more than happy to have a collaborator on the TK page. You don't need to be able to use HTML to edit, just go for it, "be bold", be neutral and leave a trail of your reasoning on the Talk page. aeon-lakes (talk) 22:34, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sounds good. You do already have much of what I cite in your sandbox. As an fyi, "Parlez-vous Personality" is not out of print. Amazon.fr doesn't have it in stock at the moment, but I understand it will. It is obtainable directly from the publisher. I lent my copy to my daughter, but have several copies being sent to me. Did the copy of the Journal of Process Communication that you saw have Terry McGuire's article in it? The original edition did not, as Terry didn't finish it in time. However, the journal with the article is available online. It discusses Taibi's work with Terry and NASA. FormerGC (talk) 18:59, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi again. Not sure if this helps, but pending further research, I have published the bio of Kahler that I wrote on my company web site. http://exaudian.com/taibi-kahler/ FormerGC (talk) 20:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
