The Booth case again

The supposed precognitive dream of a man called David Booth has been a topic here and was removed from the article. There was a report about him in the Chicago Tribune in 1979 (part 1 and part 2). Is it mentionable now? Raubdinosaurier (talk) 18:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to be relevant to the accident. MilborneOne (talk) 18:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even though he says he called people before the crash, his claims were printed after the crash, not before it. His claims that he made the phone calls to the airline and the FAA before the crash seem to be corroborated, but were so vague that no action could be taken, so overall there was nothing but coincidence to link it to this particular crash. So I agree, nothing there of scientific value, closer to National Enquirer material than encyclopedic content. - Ahunt (talk) 18:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Man-hour"

Encouraging @Jonchache, Ahunt, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered, and Zaathras to discuss here and try to reach a consensus instead of continuing the edit war. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:51, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As a note to anyone wishing to join the conversation, there's been quite a bit of back-and-forth on Jonchache's talk page, which I would invite editors to read. NekoKatsun (nyaa) 23:55, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This dispute is already under discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard Jonchache (talk) 23:55, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can note: Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard requires: You must notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion. - Ahunt (talk) 00:06, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The requirement was satisfied in my talk page where the dispute was initially discussed. Jonchache (talk) 00:09, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is very specific, you need to notify each individual person involved on their own talk page, as those involved many not be watching your talk page. The page even provides a specific template for that purpose. I would recommend you do that, or you will next get accused of trying to make an end-run around the existing consensus. - Ahunt (talk) 00:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
