How reliable is Samorini's article?[edit]

I'm talking about notes: [5] & [6] I cannot find him on Scopus ^[1] and he has a really low score on ResearchGate ^[2] Digressivo (talk) 00:50, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the (unreliable) Samorini's article quote from the page for the reasons expressed in Talk:Psilocybin --Digressivo (talk) 23:30, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I had added Samorini 1992 article before I saw this thread. Although the source seems different. I also coulnd't find anything about Lajoux 1964. But it's seems pretty typical for literature of 60 years. Can somebody take a look? Mekatra (talk) 00:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Psilocybin mushroom[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Psilocybin mushroom's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:49, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Showed controversy"?[edit]

This, and another experiment administering psilocybin to graduate divinity students, showed controversy.

I've never heard of controversy being "shown". Could the writer have meant "caused" or "created"? – AndyFielding (talk) 12:47, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
