Jordan B. Peterson taught briefly at Point Loma Nazarene under the name Dr. Peterson, where he lectured Psychology 101 a few times per week to a small class of Freshman (less than 40 students). This was in the Spring of 2012. Msiebert2 (talk) 10:40, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problem revising any of it, which part specifically is problematic? all of it is in the book itself. if you want to then rewrite that whole section, I don't care. Officialsimontownsend (talk) 16:14, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that you detailing specific themes, cited just to the book, is WP:OR. What I want is for you to add a secondary source citation that actually supports these themes are in the book. Simonm223 (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I just know this: he released the book forever ago and no one updated the wiki - so I did. fix it if it's wrong, I just wanted the ball rolling. I am not some expert Wikipedia editor. Officialsimontownsend (talk) 16:20, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine. Nobody is asking for perfection. But when I removed the material originally I left an edit summary asking for sources. You then went back and put back your edit without sources. The solution is simple: either remove that information or add the sources. The truth is that the slow rollout of information about the book on WP is largely because it had a very soft launch with only a small number of quite tepid reviews. The book was too atheist for the christians and too christian for everyone else. Simonm223 (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I'll remove it then, haven't seen any reviews, don't know what to reference. anyway, I am still happy you told me and for entertaining my thoughts, many thanks 🙏 Officialsimontownsend (talk) 16:58, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
In many sections Peterson's direct words are used instead of paraphrasing, I understand this is done to maintain neutrality however it breaks the flow of the article. Is there a better way to achieve both goals? NotPixel (talk) 09:47, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
