Talk:Charles Berlitz

I understand Berlitz had some far out ideas, indeed I have even read his books on Atlantis and ancient astronauts. The man will be considered a crank by many people, but he was also one of America's most respected linguist's (indeed there are sources to back that up). Firstly it should be mentioned that Berlitz was a linguist on the article and post some information about his degree etc and his work in that field, and then there should be a section on his far out claims or pseudohistory etc. Forests (talk) 16:16, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

What for? We're not an encyclopedia. Sophie^Wilder 16:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Cos it's relevant when a crank is actually good at something - David Gerard (talk) 18:57, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I think it was more of an answer to "first it should be mentioned ... then there should be a section". This would make sense in an encyclopedia, but on RW, the priority should be the other way round: wacky claims first, biographical details second.--ZooGuard (talk) 19:23, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

"Charles Berlitz was a respected linguist who wrote good books on that subject" should cover it, I think. Sophie^Wilder 19:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, User:Forests and User:Sophie Wilder - if you would like to write about Mr Berlitz's career as a polyglot (I'm not really sure of his status as an academic linguist), and career as a business executive, you may do so at Teflpedia: [1].
