[edit] Mediation
I have opened the mediation case you filed. Please see that page for a question I have for you. Also, you listed your e-mail address - do you want that as the only method of communication, or can I also use talk pages? They're a lot more convenient. Thanks, --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 02:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Satanism/Templates
If you can justify copyright use for the Baphomet, I have no problem with you making that edit. I've already made the initial edits to the Satanism template to begin cleaning it up (primarily removed all the organizations that do not belong and added books/persons of relevance). Review this at your leisure; if you want this to stick, I strongly recommend cooperation to police it and make sure it does. It can be justified, it just takes work to do so.
We'll probably also want to start wading through the morass of the article on Satanism itself shortly, in the next week or so. I'd highly appreciate your support in doing this, since it is a shameful article, as I'm sure you agree. I have no problem with treating this article entirely objectively, but we will have to use friendly cooperation on a large scale to really make it happen. -Lvthn13 01:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Also note that I went ahead and changed the LaVeyan Satanism template (per our agreement), I may rename it something more "CoS-centric" later after I've thought about it. For now, I hope you are satisfied with the compromise of cooperation on the Satanism template. -Lvthn13 01:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Edits looks fine to me, I won't contest them in that context (though I may try to rework a lot of the article itself since even that one is not so great, it's been on my "to do" list for a while). I've started redirecting pages to Satanism but for some reason LaVeyan Satanism does not redirect even though the article itself doens't exist in the edit mode. Strange, maybe it will catch up. -Lvthn13 02:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I've placed notices in the old discussion page for LaVeyan Satanism, and also in the discussion page for Anton LaVey, notifying interested editors that things are changing for the better. Hopefully, this will smooth the transition and bring in additional sensible editors who have contributed there to continue work on the new article, and the entire series. -Lvthn13 06:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Article for Satanism is now protected against anonymous edits and edits by new users, meaning no more random passer-bys starting edit wars like we had. This will make progressing on actually cleaning up the page much easier and curb much of the vandalism. -Lvthn13 22:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the page was fully locked until the issues are resolved. You may consider chiming in on the Talk:Satanism page to help resolve this dispute so the article is put back on track instead of sidetracked by people with an essentially Christian propaganda perspective. I've handled it as best I can for now. -Lvthn13 01:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
