Advertising?

This is clearly an advertisement for a book and should be deleted, yes?

I do not see it as an ad. And it has several refs. Interesting stories anyway. History2007 (talk) 08:07, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is an interesting phenomenon, and the article has several examples given from history and literature. - Kzirkel (talk) 20:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance of Jung's theories

Shouldn't this article make reference to C.G Jung's metapsychology theories? The book by Geiger is notable only for ignoring them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.148.96.53 (talk) 03:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why the THIRD man?

I have added this sentence in the Literary References section: "It is the reference to 'the third' in this poem that has given this phenomenon its name..." My source is the third entry under "Resources": "Guardian Angels or the Third Man factor".  I am not confident (1) to change a Resource into a reference, or (2) that it is a source of adequate weight. The resource entry says it is by "Reinhold Messner", but by my reading he is a climber and the last person quoted as experiencing the phenomenon. The source is by NPR "All Things Considered" and AFAICT by an anonymous journalist. Given all that, as soon as I started reading the article I wondered why it should be called "the THIRD man", and this seems a plausible explanation. 1.136.104.105 (talk) 18:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
