The article writes that Rawlins resigned from CSICOP, when the cited source (sTARBABY) clearly disagrees (at least if that means resigned from the council). He resigned from the editorial board of the skeptical inquirer, so maybe these two things have been confused. Regardless of what is meant here, I think readers would get the wrong impression, and this should be improved to be more accurate. 194.126.175.154 ( talk) 23:13, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
The fellows list was badly out of date and missing several people. Using the online reference from CSI (their current on-line fellows list) I added these people in. More importantly, the original list here included past and present members, but the CSI reference only has current folks. To address this problem, I split the list into two: current fellows (which uses the CSI current on-line fellows list as a reference), and former fellows. Problem is right now there is no obvious citation for these former folks, so I have marked them all CN. I presume back issues of the print magazine may eventually be found and used as reference to verify each of these people was a CSI fellow. Also, I spot checked some of these people using their Wiki bios, and in many cases no reference for the CSI fellowship appears there either, (and it may not even be mentioned) although in some cases the person was assigned to the category 'Fellows of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.' I will also point out that the same (or worse) problem holds for the next section: List of scientific and technical consultants (current and former), but I have not investigated this further.

I shouldn't even have to say this, but this article reads like a major advert for CSICOP. Thus I question its neutrality entirely. Why? Because in sounding like an Advert, it also sounds (to me) like Wikipedia has become Csicop's own personal Cheer Leaders. I for one do not want to be a cheer leader of an (Pseudo-skeptical) organisation who's own former founders claim that (CSICOP) continually moves the goal post in so-called scientific test.

This section does not belong here. It is a waste of time and should be deleted. -- Hob Gadling ( talk) 22:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
He's listed as a "current fellow" despite having died in 2021. Should he be removed from that list? Partofthemachine ( talk) 05:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
