Talk:Jane Roberts

Personal Life edit

We need some more information on Jane's life apart from Seth . . . childhood, death and so on. She talks of it some in The God of Jane, but the page here is still Seth-heavy and does kind of skimps on her biography. NoVomit (talk) 12:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

This page has matured again in recent months, so I will update an earlier question here: Responding to the query above, is there any interest in Jane's contributions to the writing process? Hers is the only per-minute documented writing process I know of. Word/hour data with pauses could ve valuable. She also certainly added some visibility to the method of dictation to a collaborator as a way to enhance creativity. TaoPhoenix (talk) 16:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Re: "...is there any interest in Jane's contributions to the writing process?":

I think we can reasonably assume most readers will take the "writing process" to comprise "Jane's contributions" virtually completely (her husband presumably added a bit). To put it forthrightly, most readers will want some information to enable them to make some sort of judgement about whether this Roberts person was off her nut or cynically opportunistic or partly off her nut and partly cynically opportunistic. I think this a reasonable desire, and I think the article should try to accommodate it. TheScotch (talk) 20:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Outsider comment: The intro reads like gossip. Are all the personal details relevant and needed?—j9t (talk) 15:43, 20 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

agreed. This is definitely a fan that wrote this 47.37.226.123 (talk) 02:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Re: Criticism edit

Does the criticism in this article meet Wikipedia’s standards? Videos like “Jane Roberts' Seth Speaks is Anti-Catholic Hate Books – Allowed By The Media"” don’t seem to come from reputable sources nor to make fair claims (let alone objective statements, but the topics are metaphysical in nature.)—j9t (talk) 15:43, 20 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
