Knowledge (XXG)

Talk:James Randi/Archive 5

Source šŸ“

1627:(XXG) page because you think that it is lacking something that would make it more accurate. So assuming good faith I will explain a few things to you, I apologize in advance if you already understand how this works and here I am explaining it again to you. But I am making the assumption (lots of them apparently) that you are not aware of how Knowledge (XXG) actually works, considering that you did not sign your request. It is possible that you just forgot to do so, and have no problem backing up your statements with your name as I am doing at this moment. Anyway, when it is a Knowledge (XXG) page for a living person, we have higher standards than if it is a person who has died or if it were not a person but a "it" like a flower or cabbage. Words can harm, we can't slap accusations onto a Knowledge (XXG) page as if it were a tabloid magazine. The standard applies to everyone not just to James Randi. If you were to browse through Knowledge (XXG) articles of controversial people who are still alive you will see what I'm talking about. Look at Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's pages and you will see are written as neutrally as possible. Also we can't just do a Google search and find some person's opinion and slap that onto an article as a citation. Knowledge (XXG) has standards as I said, without those then anyone could say anything and it would become a citation. Someone could say that he is a lizard person on a website and then the next thing you know someone could use that as a citation and then the Knowledge (XXG) page would say that. Obviously that isn't allowed. If a notable news source does not pick up the story and report on it, then it can't be used as a citation, otherwise everything would be on the page, what Randi has for lunch and what his favorite color is would be on the page, useless trivia. Now who would want to read that? I wouldn't and I doubt you would either. About these other statements that you seem to think should be on the page... Why is the identity theft not mentioned on the page. GOOD QUESTION. I'm not sure. He did talk about it on the documentary. And there are probably notable news articles mentioning it. Personally I think it probably should be on the page. I've not seen any mention of the JREF "crumbling" do you have a good notable citation for that? And what about his "retirement" not sure why you added the quote marks? Are you insinuating something? Maybe because he is 89 years old? Maybe because he wanted to? One more thing anon editor... you are choosing to use words that are not appropriate for Knowledge (XXG). Those are words that you would use on social media or maybe a comment thread somewhere. We don't use those words. You look very biased and angry. We are not kind to people who spout statements that look like conspiracy theories. It isn't nice, and it isn't helpful. If you are here on Knowledge (XXG) to improve, then welcome, learn the rules, sign your work, watch your words, assume good faith, there is a lot of work to be done. 1300:
professional achievements (no matter what Conservapedia and others would imply). Nevertheless, I can't help but wonder: when I see the very careful efforts to avoid mentioning an incident that could put Randi in bad light (i.e., guilt by association), I wonder whether all Knowledge (XXG) article subjects enjoy the same level of care. I suspect that the fact that we all like Randi adds up to bias in our treatment of people like Randi on Knowledge (XXG) relative to other people that we don't like as much, especially as it is easy to justify (in good faith) this bias through selective application of Knowledge (XXG)'s vast corpus of policies.
2006:
brief overview of what the sources tend towards, the matter can be resolved as simply as that. But putting forth that inquiry without presenting some amount of the sourcing results in one of two outcomes: A) the respondents must dig through previous discussions to to research the matter themselves (not ideally efficient) and likely to cause some sourcing to be missed by those not previously involved in the dispute, or B) respondents (especially less experienced editors) may instead lean on their own idiosyncratic notions of which name is more appropriate in the abstract sense, which is an approach that does not conform well to policy.

actual Jose Alvarez? I made an edit to that effect, and it was immediately reverted. It's a bit jarring to see one place that Randi moved in and is still living with "Jose Alvarez", and then later in the section see that he married and is still living with "Pena" (no Deyvi mentioned there). Randi fans might know what's going on, but I guarantee that will confuse people who don't know, and are looking for information on him. Personally, I think all the information about Randi and Deyvi's love life should be consolidated into one passage. I know it's chronological as is, but it would be clearer if it were topical instead of chronological.
284:, we should have a footnote or a parenthetical mention or something, which explains that the REAL human named JosƩ Alvarez is a relatively-unknown resident of the great state of New York, and the REAL human named Deyvi PeƱa was actually the person with the stage name of The Great Carlos and the false identity of 'JosƩ Alvarez' ... but that at the time, this false identity was still fully intact, and thus almost all the wiki-reliable sources refer *incorrectly* to JosƩ Alvarez as the man behind The Great Carlos, when it is *correct* to refer to 'JosƩ Alvarez' as the man behind The Great Carlos (not addition of scarequotes). 712:" since that is what Randi *calls* his spouse nowadays, and then in a footnote attached thereupon, explain the details: namely, that Randi has been living with his spouse since 19xx (not sure what year exactly... I believe 1987... but the recent 2014 documentary mentioned that specific factoid, methinks, if no other WP:RS does), and that due to the laws related to marriage, they did not *formally* get married until 2013. Furthermore, go on to explain that during most of their decades together, 1980s/1990s/2000s but not 2010s, both of them publicly referred to 3336:
he was replaced by Randi. I was on a second show with Randi with the topic of Peru, along with Mosley. The latter had crazy ideas about finding Peruvian buried treasures. Subsequently Moseley and I were invited to speak at a dinner sponsored by the NY Adventurer's Club. A short time later I was invited to be on Randi's program again, but his show was cancelled before that happened. At TAM2012 I asked Randi if it was possible to find the recordings of my appearances on the show,but he said they were all on non-indexed giant reels, so it would not be possible
306:, other things being equal. However, in this case, there *is* no dedicated article for the human Deyvi PeƱa aka Deyvi Orangel PeƱa Arteaga fka 'JosƩ Alvarez' fka 'JosƩ Luis Alvarez' fka The Great Carlos. The other guideline, is that when it doesn't matter, defer to what the BLP wants, aka the human named Deyvi PeƱa, and to a lesser extent, the human named James Randi. Nowadays, if the BLP themselves wants to call themselves by the name Deyvi PeƱa, then that is what *we* should call that human, per the 338:, by contrast; wikipedia does not call the article about the singer some unpronounceable un-type-able symbol, though we *do* have the symbol listed there, and I believe we even have a redirect somehow implemented ... is there a unicode-codepoint for the Prince-symbol? Anyways, methinks Deyvi PeƱa is a case where we can use the everyday name, even if we have a lot of primary-court-docs and a lot of churnalism-newspaper-reports that use the full legal name of the defendant aka the accused, because " 2756:
biological concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology, economics, and politics." Randi is applying it to biology. He isn't saying that the strong see their wealth and power increase while the weak see their wealth and power decrease. He is saying that drug addicts are more likely to experience physical, biological death. The idea that traits that cause you to die before you breed tend to die out in the population isn't social darwinism. It is just plain darwinism.
612:
a magician (aka an honest liar) is also covered; Randi's use of a stagename, rather than Zwinge that he originally used for his magic act, is also covered. But the core of the documentary, is that Randi has been forced to be a liar his entire life: about his work (professional magician), about his sexuality (non-heterosexual), and about his spouse's legal name (not 'Alvarez')... yet at his core, Randi is still an *honest* liar. It's a good documentary, I highly recommend it;
1607:
discussion about the real reasons his foundation crumbled? Or why he "retired?" A simple google search leads one to many sites that elaborate on numerous questionable and controversial things that Randi has done over the years. This page was clearly written by a Randi fan who, like many, has chosen to ignore the truth in favor of keeping Randi on some sort of Super Skeptic pedestal. This is not a Knowledge (XXG) page - this is a Skeptic's fan page.
31: 1325:, you can find them using a 2006 arbcom case about competing claims of harassment between two editors to claim that "evolutionist administrators" tried to force arbcom to delete the article of a creationist and that arbcom heroically declined. So of course conservapedia will make a mountain out of a molehill for any prominent atheist or skeptic: they are, quite literally, ideologically opposed to critical thinking. 607:
the film. The focus of the film, as evidenced by the title thereof, is on the seven distinct personas jointly utilized by Randi and by PeƱa-fka-'Alvarez', plus on how those personal personas are related to their joint work skeptically-investigating-and-debunking. The goal of the skeptic is to seek truth, and the goal of the debunker is to reveal fraud. Randi and 'Alvarez' perpetuated a falsehood known as
1121:'s opinion, his second message in the thread that you mentioned indicates "If the matter is as substantial as described above, it will develop, and secondary sources will write a thoughtful analysis of the situation. That is when information should be added here." This was written in 2011 and such secondary sources now exist as I pointed out, so I think it makes sense to reexamine the matter. 3292: 3177: 3303: 540:
nowadays. We *also* refer to him by his full legal name at birth (persona#1C), thrice plus the infobox, and we also mention that he was a magician with a stage name (persona#1B) at least a dozen times, e.g. in the bibliography-discography-section and in the paragraphs on his career as a magician. So that all seems to be done properly, in my eyes.
510:, their spouse since 2013, and also their co-worker and friend since 1988 in the skeptic-investigation-slash-debunking-business. Thus, the "main article" that wikipedia has about the human-sometimes-known-as-Deyvi-PeƱa, and thus the main article that we have about persona#3A thru persona#3D, is in fact the 3252:
The article states that Long John Nebel turned over his all night radio program on WOR in NY to Randi in 1962, but follows that saying that Randi had the show from 1967-68. Randi had the show from 1962-1963, and I was on the show twice in 1963. I am sure of my dates because I was a high school senior
2796:
Randi seems to look forward to a world where drug addicts have removed themselves from the gene pool. I think that this fits the duck test for social Darwinism, but agree that it should not come from interpretations of primary sources. As the article notes, Randi backtracked on his position following
1626:
Hello anonymous person who is making an accusation. The rules here on Knowledge (XXG) are such that we always try to assume "good faith" which means that instead of assuming you are a troll or a person with malice in mind, we need to assume that you genuinely want to improve the James Randi Knowledge
1251:
a3nm, it appears that what we have here is a good-faith disagreement about article content. Everyone is being reasonable and thoughtful, which is a welcome change from how these content disputes sometimes go. You can post an RfC, but considering that so far there are six editors who disagree with you
991:
Thanks for your explanations. I understand the point about PeƱa being a low-profile individual, but as the question is about inclusion to James Randi's page, I think the main question is whether this story is relevant to James Randi's bio. If it is, I guess it should be included nevertheless, even if
3335:
As a high school senior in 1963 I had traveled solo through the Peruvian Andes. I had to hike the last 18 km to Macchu Picchu, which was part of rhe reason Randi invited me for a discussion of Teen Travel along with several other teens. I had been a longtime listener to Long John Nebel and knew when
2035:
I'm not sure where this question is coming from, but Alvarez appears to be known primarily by this name. Now, if this were the page Jose Alvarez, I could certainly see the need to establish the other name, but the fact that he occasionally adds the (D.O.P.A.) following the Jose Alvarez does not mean
1163:
The final base consideration is one of relevance. The usual heuristic I like to give to new editors is "if something doesn't change the narrative of the article, it doesn't belong." In this case, we have the narrative of a man who started as a stage magician, then turned towards debunking fraudulent
611:
in an attempt to reveal truth, that the mainstream media is gullible and won't fact-check a juicy story. There was a deeper falsehood hidden within the overt fraud of Carlos: it turned out that 'Alvarez' was not really Alvarez, and that 'Alvarez' and Randi were not mere friends. Randi's career as

Clicking on that conservapedia article is great for a laugh. It opens with a ridiculously contrived claim (that the majority of "prominent and vocal defenders of the evolutionary position" are atheists) sourced to two creationist publications and just goes downhill from there. I would not give much

I agree that readers can follow links to external articles, but how are they to guess which one to follow? Wouldn't it be simpler to just explain briefly the situation and point to external articles for additional detail? I don't think articles should be confusing and rely on external links just to

subsection, where the 2014 documentary I saw is briefly covered, we currently have the following sentence-fragment: "...focuses on Randi's life, his investigations, and his relationship with longtime partner JosƩ Alvarez, a.k.a. Deyvi PeƱa." First off, this is not an NPOV-compliant description of

section, we need a footnote that explains the truth: Randi described 'Alvarez' by that name, and said he was a friend, at the time, and 'Alvarez' described himself by that name, also at the time, and thus so did all the WP:RS at the time... but later, it turned out they were more than friends, and

The reference that was added and taken out does say: "I am a magician by trade. I should say, more correctly, I conjure. We magicians don't do magic. The word conjurer is much more accurate, which is somebody who gives the illusion of doing magic. So I am a conjurer by trade, have been since I can

The external article in this case is a reference and ā€“ like all inline citations ā€“ it can be found in close proximity to the text to which it relates. It wouldn't be simpler to include more content because it would be undue in an article that is not about PeƱa. The content you're keen to write has

with 'Alvarez'). Additionally the film focues on Randi's relationship with Deyvi PeƱa, both since their overt marriage at a federal courthouse in 2013, as well as their earlier personal and professional partnership since 1987, when PeƱa (who was born Deyvi Orangel PeƱa Arteaga in Venezuela) began

and some over-the-top commentary about how stupid and deadly it is to become a drug addict, but I don't see any social Darwinism at all. As it says on our social darwinism page: "Social Darwinism refers to various theories that emerged in Western Europe and North America in the 1870s that applied

I could not find any source saying when he became a minister at this church, or else perhaps I would keep the paragraph and add that as a reason to bring it up. If somebody can re-word this with more information available it could be worth mentioning, but as of right now the tidbit is so light on
1140:
There are a number of issues here: simply because Randi said this event was the most difficult moment of his life doesn't make the event about Randi. Try searching the articles of a number of actors to determine what they felt was the most difficult role of their lives was; you won't find it. Try

Thanks for your input. I don't think writing a full article about PeƱa is adequate, though -- in any case, definitely not about this incident. However, I do think it is relevant to an article about Randi. First, because part of the content I am suggesting to add is undoubtedly about Randi and not

call him "Randi". Knowledge (XXG) needs to reflect what the sources say, for all encyclopedic topics, and the bulk of the sources refer to magician and skeptic as Randi, plus the human refers to themselves in that fashion, so wikipedia follows suit. Most of their lifetime, 'Alvarez' referred to

This may have been hashed out previously, but there's a lot of back talk archives to look through. Question is this: Is there some reason not to recognize in the "Personal Life" section that the person Randi met at the Fort Lauderdale library was Deyvi Pena using the alias "Jose Alvarez", not the

Randi seems to have realized in 2013 that his views on this issue were offending some people. While there is a case made by some people for legalizing drugs to get them off the street, Randi went further and said that drug addicts dying and removing themselves from the gene pool would be a good
2071:
I would use the most common name. I have seen Alvarez used far more often than PeƱa. I think if this is seriously going to be a point of contention, then we just need to buckle down and count sources. Because, you know, simply not caring either way is never going to fly on Knowledge (XXG), even

Anyways. I hope this can be helpful to understand my point of view. In any case I appreciate the fact that everyone was very civil about the matter.Ā :) As I said earlier, I won't be insisting further because I seem to be alone with my views, but if someone else agrees that the episode should be

Indeed, as it turns out, the consensus appears to be against the addition. I understand that there are valid general motives against it, in particular the need to avoid drawing unwanted attention to PeƱa, or the general fact that the story is unexpected but not especially relevant to Randi's

There are over three thousand results for a WP search of "Personal life and death" (Attempted to link directly to search results but apparently that just isn't allowed to work, oh well). I most definitely do not want to start an edit war or anything, but that hardly seems "non-standard" as

Maybe some explanation about my motives may help understand why I have been pushing this specific issue. (Of course I don't care personally about Randi, PeƱa, or any of that stuff -- I had just vaguely heard about Randi some years ago.) It's just that, the other day, I stumbled upon

I am removing the entire final paragraph in 'Views On Religion'. What struck me at first was the final sentence - it is out of place and describing a church in it's own sentence awkwardly. If they wanted to describe Spiritual Humanism as it is not a commonplace term, maybe link

However, he did not "become ... a minister ... to perform the wedding", claiming that is why he became a minister. 616:. So what is the neutral boring cold hard just-the-facts prose, which wikipedia should use in wikipedia's voice to summarize the focus of the film, and more broadly, to summarize the real-world-events that the film is a documentary about?

1175:. This information does nothing to change the narrative of the article, while simultaneously impinging upon Randi's reputation. It makes our article less than neutral, because we are conveying negative information about a person for no appreciable benefit to the article. 1141:
searching the articles of a number of scientists to find what they felt was the most important discovery of their career; you won't find it. In all those cases, the subject is the role or the discovery, or (in the case of Randi's quote) the arrest of his spouse.
