If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:21, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Hades7 - Why did you delete several categories from the Ramakrishna article? RK practiced these aspects of Vedanta in his sadhana years: "Advaita" and "Nondualism". And, he was the inspiration for the "Ramakrishna Mission" and his teachings were incorporated into the goals and creed of the Mission.

I don't know (or care so much) about the "neo-" designations - I guess I'm one of those who think the designation is pejorative. Thanks, Ellis408 (talk) 18:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

The infobox for this article has a banner reading 'virgin'; the woman had a daughter so this seems very unlikely. I don't know how to fix this.TheLongTone (talk) 10:37, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

You are right. Fixed. --Hades7 (talk) 20:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

You may find this source interesting. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:20, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, just to let you know that I've reverted your changes to this article, which has been formally reviewed. I've started a discussion on the article's talk page, to which you are invited to contribute, stating your concerns. I see from your edit comments that you imagine that the article is not neutral and therefore needs attention. That is mistaken, most obviously because the article clearly and neutrally sets out the different sides of the cultural appropriation argument, without supporting any particular side, and citing reliable sources for each position. Readers are entirely free to conclude whatever they like from the evidence thus neutrally presented. Please be aware that any attempt to reinstate your edits before consensus is reached, with me and other editors on the WikiProject, would constitute disruptive editing. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:56, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for your creation of Western esotericism and science. It looks like a great article, but could you please provide page numbers for the books you have cited? It would really help fulfil our verifiability policy. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:05, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Western esotericism and the arts. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because Much of the article consists of a large number of empty subsections. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Northernhenge (talk) 18:56, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello Hades7. It has come to my attention that much of the information in your recent articles about Western esotericism are not properly substantiated by the sources you've indicated. I've decided, then, to gather some samples from those paragraphs to better check your research; I've listed them below. Considering these samples, it saddens to me that they point out to the hypothesis that the articles may have been written by Large Language Models. I’m here first asking for your explanation about your process of writing, and then I will bring up this issue to the wider community for further assess. I consider that there may have been good intention of your part if you did use LLMs, but understand that the result is worse: it spreads false information due to AI hallucination, false attribution of sources, and may create original research and undue synthesis of several sources.

Please, if you did use AI, admit where and in which proportion, because the community will notice if it was used to write the articles partially or entirely; it would be better for you to admit any mistake or ignorance, and do the right thing as soon as possible, with due correction where needed and removal of AI generated sentences, in accordance with our policies.

In Western esotericism and Eastern religions:

• The paragraph “In this perspective, nineteenth-century esoteric authors could present selected Hindu and Buddhist materials as privileged witnesses to a "single primordial truth", translating them into familiar Hermetic and Neoplatonic idioms”, with alleged source Western Esotericism and the Orient in the First Theosophical Society, p. 49-51: these pages contain only footnotes; I’ve found not direct phrasing such as “single primordial truth”, nor direct statements of “translating them into familiar Hermetic and Neoplatonic idioms”, although Neoplatonism and Hermeticism are scantily mentioned.

• The paragraph “Schopenhauer, sometimes dubbed the “Buddha of Frankfurt” in later reception, saw in Buddhism a philosophical kinship with his own pessimistic metaphysics of will and compassion”, with alleged source The Birth of Orientalism. University of Pennsylvania Press. pp. 96–103: these pages are focused on Ziegenbalg, with no mentions to Schopenhauer; there seems to exist only small mentions to Schopenhauer in that work (such as the one in p. 236), with no description of the “philosophical kinship” or that he was dubbed “Buddha of Frankfurt”.

• The paragraph with “Pierre Bernard—promoter of “tantrik yoga” from the 1900s and founder of the Clarkstown Country Club—popularized the idea of a secret “yoga of sex” (…), with source "The Yoga of Sex: Tantra, Orientalism, and Sex Magic in the United States, 1870–1930": in this source, only a simple mention is made to “the infamous Dr. Pierre Arnold Bernard”, and nowhere it is stated that he popularized the idea of “yoga of sex”, “tantrik yoga”, nor that he was founder of the Clarkstown Country Club.

• The paragraph with “Its hybrid doctrinal structure—blending Hermetic, Neoplatonic, and Hindu-Buddhist concepts—became the template for later currents of esoteric universalism” (…), with the source New Age Religion and Western Culture: Esotericism in the Mirror of Secular Thought. Leiden: Brill. pp. 188–193 – these pages describe some New Age concepts, with only one subtle reference to the Theosophical Society and no statement about its “hybrid doctrinal structure” becoming the “template” etc. There are some other pages where simple statements about the great influence and similarities of Theosophy compared to New Age movements in general, and also in specific conceptual transmittion, but I’ve found no such thing as a “hybrid doctrinal structure” becoming the template.

• the paragraph with the phrase “formal Daoist liturgies and talismanic registers”, with the source New Approaches to the Study of Esotericism. Brill. pp. 25–30: I’ve found no reference to Daoist liturgies or talismans in the book, and the pages 25-30 are referring mainly to “Platonic Orientalism”, a topic totally different.

• The paragraph with the phrase “Figures such as Chögyam Trungpa (founder of Naropa University), Tarthang Tulku (the Nyingma Institute), and Lama Thubten Yeshe (the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, FPMT) created enduring institutions through which initiatory transmission (abhiṣeka), vows” (…), with the source Civilized Shamans: Buddhism in Tibetan Societies. Smithsonian Institution Press. pp. 400–420: these pages are about Yogacara, Tathagatagarbha and the historical development of Tantra; I’ve found not citation of those figures and practices.

• The paragraph “In the 1980s–1990s, clinical “third wave” developments in CBT such as Acceptance and commitment therapy and Dialectical behavior therapy further standardized Asian-derived practices within therapeutic idioms, typically bracketing ontological claims in favor of health outcomes”, with alleged source New Age Religion and Western Culture: Esotericism in the Mirror of Secular Thought, pp. 482–489: the pages refer to Mesmerism, New Age, New Thought and self-help books, but no mention of the third wave of CBT; there seems to be no mention of CBT and those therapies in the whole book!

In the other articles, I’ve collected only one sample, the community may find others when analyzing the alleged sources of the articles. Here in Western esotericism and psychology:

• The paragraph with “Among them, Alexander Lowen’s bioenergetic analysis, and related body-oriented approaches within the human potential movement integrated performative and affective techniques while recasting them in psychodynamic and secular terms” and the source “Asprem 2014”, pp. 172–175; since the source title is not complete in the article, The only 2014 material by Asprem that I’ve found with the pages “172-175” is “Contemporary Esotericism” (2014), edited by Asprem; the pages 172-175 make no mention of “neo-Reichian” movements, nor Lowen, bioenergetic analysis or human potential movement; I’ve found only a simple mention of Wilhelm Reich in page 106. In other works by Asprem in that year and in other years, I’ve found no mention of bioenergetics and “Lowen” at all. You’ve used the “Asprem” source (with the same pages 172-175) seven times in the article, in paragraphs about vitalism and psychological techniques, but those pages in the “Contemporary Esotericism” book are in a completely alien chapter about Esoteric religions in virtual settings.

In Western esotericism and the arts:

• Where the alleged source Is “Tuchman 1986, pp. 17–23.”, I suppose it is the book “The Spiritual in Art Abstract Painting 1890-1985”, edited by Tuchman. If so, in a quick search I’ve found no reference to “correspondences”, “inner model”, “Catholic revivalisms”, “Latin American”, or mentions to Edgar Allan Poe, Mallarmé and Baudelaire close to each other, nor in those specific pages.

I present this situation expecting good faith on your part. Best regards! Bafuncius (talk) 13:31, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

@Hades7:, I've added a caution tag to the article Western esotericism and Eastern religions, feel free to remove it after the text and references have been thoroughly reviewed and corrected. I suggest also a review in the other articles you've created. Thanks! Bafuncius (talk) 22:18, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
