I'm afraid this article is biased as it is against the New Age and is referring to Adventism, the belief in a redemption of a select few at the end of the world. The New Age is not like that. Please be neutral and use neutral sources whenever possible. Unitarian9999 (talk) 15:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, you're thinking backwards. The New Age does not go by the same paradigm of thought like many of your articles into which are more accurate (like your article on archae or "archaebacteria"). If you were to use neutral sources like Melody Baker's A New Consciousness, then you have it made. Unitarian9999 (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and your article is too much information. Shorten it as much as possible. Unitarian9999 (talk) 15:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The article on the New Age instates a concise definition is difficult. Yes, but one person has made a solid definition. I won't reveal his name, but someone else said the New Age is a "different religion." I apologize for any hard feelings depicted on my posts. Unitarian9999 (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- We like to stay neutral at Wikipedia, meaning that we report only what reliable secondary sources say. That isn’t to say that this article might not be biased - in fact it might very well be, if indeed it refers to adventism instead of actual New Age thought at some points. If you could provide some sources and some specific points that you’d like to fix you can post those here and/or make the edit. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 17:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, don't worry about that. I am just making sure the sources are not biased. There is a book by counselor Melody Baker titled A New Consciousness: The True Spirit Of New Age, describing a nationwide survey and results from New Age Unitarians with individual stories. It turns out that the article on New Age is identical to the stereotype of New Age adherents. The Unitarians she dealt with were a stark contradiction to the popular stereotype Wikipedia describes.

- That's good fact checking, thank you for that. If it ends up not being the greatest source and we need another I can start the search for another if needed. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 02:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, and Godspeed. Unitarian9999 (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Even though the article is well-written and thoroughly comprehensive, I find the term New Age to be American slang for Taoism and the "New Age movement" of the 20th century the popularity of the Taoist faith. It died out in 2002 when Taoism became the third-largest religion on Earth at 1.1 billion. I know, because I watched it on a PBS news program on religion that announced its demise in early 2003. Now, it's 1.4 billion.
- This is what I call New Age in a nutshell. Ravenheart Mew (talk) 14:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a specific change you’d like to make to the article? OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 14:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a brief summary that can be understood by everyone. Other than that, no specific change. Yes, the New Age is a religion in the general sense, but due to its diversity, there's no telling who's who. I know, because I am one of them. Ravenheart Mew (talk) 18:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where does the article refer to adventism? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 21:12, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't. Skyerise (talk) 21:14, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- A New Consciousness is from 1991, published by New Thought Pub, an obscure publisher, and written by Melodie Baker, an unknown author. With other words: totally fails WP:RS. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 21:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Um, no, that's not in any way how we determine whether a source is reliable. The only concern here would be if it is self-published. Is the author the owner of the press? Skyerise (talk) 21:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If you discover what this publisher is, then you can tell me... Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 21:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- This article refer's to Baker's book. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 21:30, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- New Thought Publishing Co. was (is?) a Chicago publisher established around the beginning of the 20th century. It published many early New Thought authors. Not sure whether it still exists, but it still did in the 1990s. Skyerise (talk) 21:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Uh, Skyrise, that is referring to the older New Age magazine periodical founded in the early 20th century, but I don't think New Thought Publishing is still available. If you wish to make your articles more credible, I suggest you renew your sources once a year (after our annual pledge drive). Unitarian9999 (talk) 23:33, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Self-published? Oh, no! 😭. In reference to Eckankar, a former leader by the name of Sri Darwin Gross self-published his book We Kids as a reaction to his excommunication from Eckankar and replaced by Sri Harold Klemp. See who's the new "Living ECK master" if something happened to Klemp. Just make sure the publisher is authentic. Unitarian9999 (talk) 23:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I thought you didn't make much sense. Now I see it's intentional. Muted. Skyerise (talk) 23:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Guys, I owe you and Wikipedia an apology. I thought the article on New Age was about the religion of the same name. Instead, it described a millenarian movement of lay practitioners. I believe that the Unitarian "New Age" would be found under Holism. Practitioners of this "New Age" are also called Unitarians due to their uniqueness.
