Mike- are you quoting? If so- put in the quotation marks and give your references. Put the references down as you read the ones I sent you under References, please. Thanks, Nancy Sculerati 14:25, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

Actually I just know that from doing online reading - but sure, I'll provide the reference you sent to me. Thanks. Mike Mayors (Talk) 14:35, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

Citing sources?

I'm not sure how to cite it properly. When someone gets a chance, can you check/correct my citation in the introduction? Mike Mayors (Talk) 14:38, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

controversial subject

The article on WP caused a whole lot of controversy, the authors for this article on CZ needs to be careful. Now WP has an unwritten rule to block any users who self-identify as pedophile, I don't think CZ need that rule, but we need to write neutrally. Yi Zhe Wu 09:24, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Yep, I completely agree. I think as long as we focus on the paraphilia itself, and not the actions associated with it (i.e. child sexual abuse), we shouldn't have much of a problem. If anyone can find credible research, please feel free to post it below. Mike Mayors (Talk) 09:32, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

Pedophilia Research

The stem of controversy is here

Most of the intense controversy around pedophilia research stems from this peer-reviewed article on APA journal, that claims harms from child-adult sex are not so bad. The Congress even passed a resolution to condemn that article, and not a single congressman dared to vote No. Personally I think politics should not interfere with science, but...I'm not an expert, anyone who has an expertise in this may probably read it.
