Repeated vandalism from Weyboom

Weyboom is repeatedly adding nonsense to the lead [1] Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

The lead already contains nonsense: "There is no evidence supporting the existence of automatic writing."
I agree that there is no need for the pervasive skeptical tone. You can ignore the evidence if you feel threatened by it, but to deny that it exists is a big stretch. 166.70.27.19 (talk) 04:17, 1 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

unnecessarily negative tone

If the topic is seen apart from the influence of spiritualism, there is no need for the skeptical tone. Early 20th-century writers were influenced by Freud's discoveries about the unconscious mind, and learned that they could sometimes use automatic writing to facilitate their creative process. Karl Ove Knausgaard has explained that he learned to write fast to sidestep excessive self-criticism; that sounds akin to automatic writing. Oxfreudian (talk) 11:51, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
