Talk:Engram (Neuropsychology)

To fostor NPOV, this discussion space should not have been moved or redirected under neuropsychology. Transporting discussions of engram to Talk:Engram (neuropsychology) is an act which, in my opinion, violates NPOV and consigns discussion under the light of neuropsychology and inherently proscribes discussion of the Dianetics Engram. According to Misplaced Pages's articles, Hubbard's Dianetics explores the engram with almost entirely different bounds. --JimmyT 02:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I think you might not be aware of how the situation came to be. Up until a short time ago, there was only one "Engram" article, called just Engram. Most of the article was of course about the mainstream concept of the engram, but as discussion of the much different Dianetics concept attached to the same term got to be a larger part of that article, an editor had the idea to have separate articles for the mainstream concept and for the Dianetics concept, and have Engram be a disambiguation page that pointed to both of the other two. To accomplish this, the existing engram article (which was, again, mostly devoted to the mainstream usage) was moved to Engram (neuropsychology), and its talk page was moved to Talk:Engram (neuropsychology). Now, when you move a page, the old title becomes a redirect to the new location; this happened for both Engram and Talk:Engram. Engram of course was turned from the redirect created by the page move into a disambiguation page. However, since disambiguation pages usually don't need talk pages, Talk:Engram wasn't changed. Hope this clarifies things. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
