Overall:
Interesting article. BorgQueen (talk) 10:25, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Psiĥedelisto and BorgQueen: I would really like to promote this hook, but am concerned that two sources in the article probably don't pass WP:RS: The Companion and Swans.com. Could you please take a look and see if other sources could be substituted in the article? Cielquiparle (talk) 13:08, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle and BorgQueen: Hmm. The Swans source is supplementary (i.e. not required to back up the fact, just interesting) and I am not sure what your problem with The Companion is? It's not an incredible source, but it's only serving to show people describe Troi (of Star Trek) as an empath, so I am not sure it's an issue. The fact isn't that important though.

- I have been looking for possible alternatives to replace The Companion as a source (which by the way has now been taken down), in case that helps. Cielquiparle (talk) 07:35, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I have upgraded the source for Deanna Troi with an excellent one from this book (may be worth a quick read; you can find the full chapter in SpringerLink via Wikipedia Library). I removed both Swans and PhAct as sources, and upgraded with this article from Life magazine. So anyway, I am happier with the overall sourcing of this article now, and am happy for it to be promoted. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:13, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
