But anything goes on a wiki, doesn't it?

Just one suggestion. Unless I'm missing it, there isn't a link back from the main page of the wiki to the forums. I think that would be useful.

Ah, I've added a link to the sidebar so it should show up on all pages now.

Thanks. That works for me now.

I am still occasionally coming across parapsychology-related blogs that I haven't seen before. When I do, I add a link to the list in the Wiki section. The latest one is Charles Tart's blog here:

I have made a page in the Wiki section on "Publications":
https://psiencequest.net/wiki/Publications

It covers:
1.1 General collections of scientific papers
1.2 Collections of parapsychology papers
1.3 Collections of papers from particular institutions and authors
1.4 Online parapsychology journals and meeting proceedings and abstracts
1.5 Theses

But I'm sure there's a huge amount more that could be included, so any suggestions for additions will be very welcome.

A much-needed and very welcome page. Thanks, Chris.

Thanks. I have added eight more Ph. D. theses from the Edinburgh Research Archive. There are quite a number other relevant theses listed there, but they aren't available online - probably because they are Masters' theses, I think.

I've belatedly added a link to this page to the main page.

I'm also thinking that we should settle on a capitalisation standard for page titles. Of the titles longer than one word, three are in title case ("In Defence of Free Will", "OOBE Resources", "Skeptiko Index") and two are in sentence case ("Introductory reading" and "File:Rupert Sheldrake and the wider scientific community.pdf").

Perhaps, given that Wikipedia itself uses sentence case, we should choose that? But I don't have strong feelings either way - am open to ideas.

In the absence of objections, I've assumed "Yes", and enforced sentence case for all page titles.

Just a note: I've retitled the "Blogs" page to "Blogs about psi and the paranormal", which until now had been its (only) secondary heading. Having all of that in the main heading and page title will hopefully make it clearer exactly what the page is about in search engine search results. Any objections, feel free to raise them!
