If the author of this page finds this, I recommend reading some of the other bio's listed at List of psychologists to get a better feel for what is expected in an article. Also, the Wikipedia:Tutorial|tutorial]], especially page 7. Or since the notability mostly comes from being a published author, some articles from List of authors, or more specifically List_of_non-fiction_authors, or even more specifically List of science writers, such as Mark Epstein or Stephen Pinker.

Thanks for the tips. A revised version will appear shortly. Diogenes 00:19, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hello. Arnold Mindell reads as though it were copied from elsewhere -- especially the phrase "After writing a series of books on these discoveries (see bibliography)" in an article which has no bibliography. Is Arnold Mindell an original composition? -- User:Diogenes may wish to note that Process Oriented Psychology has been listed on the copyright problems page. Wile E. Heresiarch 17:37, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi, you may notice that I merely cleaned up the original, intended to put in a biblio but didn't get around to it yet. And yes, I did copy the Process Oriented Psychology article from Arnold's website, and yes I did have permission. If this is not sufficient I will be happy to write my own article. Please don't build a case for me as a plagiarist and infringer just yet. My intentions are good, just learning the culture. Diogenes 06:43, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Please see my comments concerning copy permission at talk:Arnold Mindell. Permitted or otherwise, it is probably better if you write an original article about Mindell. If Mindell's text is eventually posted, my guess is that it will be heavily modified to conform to WP conventions; you might jump start the process by simply writing an original article. For what it's worth, Wile E. Heresiarch 15:49, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I appreciate your interest. For the record, if you look at the history of this article, it starts off with Mindell's own article about himself, which I then edited as a favor to him. I agree that it could always be better, and have it on my schedule to re-do it. Diogenes 18:20, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

added numerous citations and so hoping it is okay to remove the notice. more citations on the way but it's almost 2am here. will add more in the morning.Stanfordsiver (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

no, the article is not OK. It is not an objective encyclopedic biography, but a loosly written tribute in the form of an essay. I have removed the absolutely unacceptable parts. What is now needed is references to published 3rd party sources--normally, this would be reviews of his books. DGG ( talk ) 04:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

redirect article lacking substantive third-party sourcing

Hi Hrafn, I have noticed your edit to redirect. i would like to put some effort into "improving" adding more third-party sourcing this article reading more guidelines. Your action was appreciated. I am interested in your continued critical review of the article's development. Composter (talk) 22:59, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You've failed to introduce any substantive third party sourcing (after 3 months), so I've restored the redirect. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 13:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

inaccurate implication

Hello! My name is James Stillwell and I am the Director of Administration at the Process Work Institute (PWI) located in Portland Oregon. Since I am affiliated with PWI I will not be adding content here but I do want to provide some factual information about Mindell's involvement with PWI. The sentence below references two separate things, 1. The Process Work Institute 2. Arnold Mindell. I am concerned this gives the reader an inaccurate implication that Mindell was involved in the administration of PWI.

"In 1990, Mindell and colleagues established a center for teaching process oriented psychology in Portland, Oregon, now known as the Process Work Institute, which in 2001 was the subject of a controversial ethics complaint."

I would like to clarify that Arnold Mindell was not a member of the organization, not on the Board of Directors, and had no place in running the school in 2001. Additionally, this article is about Arnold Mindell, and the reference to controversy associated with the Process Work Institute seems out of place here. FYI, there are 26 schools of Process Oriented Psychology around the world.

Could another editor help with ammending this? In essence, I think the reference to the ethics complaint should be deleted and it more properly belongs with an article about the Process Work Institute.

EG: "In 1990, Mindell and colleagues collaborated to establish a center for teaching process oriented psychology in Portland, Oregon, now known as the Process Work Institute.

FYI, the reference is: Singer, J. (1995). Arny and Amy Mindell on Process Oriented Psychology (Interview). The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, 13(4), 25–40.Jamesstillwell (talk) 23:59, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
