This article needs citations. One suggestion is to go through the rather bloated External Links section and see what is there that can be used as a reference (and then removed from the EL list to avoid duplication. Thanks!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 01:23, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

TM sentence

I have revised the sentence to read: ["Miller is a “passionate endorser” of Transcendental Meditation and in 2010 watched 30 hours of the TV show Twin Peaks “to raise awareness of the benefits of transcendental meditation".] I think this version most accurately reflects the source and requires quotes since it appears to be mildly contentious amongst some editors here. The sentences in the sources [1][2] which mention TM are:

• So, one may ask, why give only to loved ones, a favorite charity or other deserving entity when you can also “give” to a favorite practice or beneficial experience? Like, say, transcendental meditation?
• And why undertake such an endeavor? Why it’s all for the benefit of transcendental meditation, which Miller is a passionate endorser of, and, it turns out, so is, “Twin Peaks” creator Lynch. (Aha!)
• He is doing this, he says, “to raise awareness of the benefits of transcendental meditation to make ourselves and our world a better place,” says Miller, who adds that the idea came to him after reading Lynch’s book, “Catching The Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity.”
• He will begin with the European pilot episode of David Lynch’s legendary crime procedural to raise awareness of the benefits of Transcendental Meditation, an art which David Lynch supports with the David Lynch Foundation.

Please note that the words Transcendental Meditation technique and Transcendental Meditation movement are not used in the source and that the event was free of charge and was not a fund raiser or benefit of any kind.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 01:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

If neither "technique" nor "movement" are used in the source then maybe we should just use the plain TM link.   Will Beback  talk  03:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Source?

Is this a reliable source? [3] Comments?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 01:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

What is it? Who wrote or published it?   Will Beback  talk  03:12, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

This was in the EL section, it is supposed to be an archive of a Gainsville Sun article.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 21:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
