[edit] Translation from it:Nisut Hekatawy I

The information in this article is largely translated from Italian Wikipedia. I've excised the last two paragraphs because they read like an advertisement - very much overflowing with praise. The article needs review by someone familiar with Kemetic reconstructionism, cited references, and incoming links from related articles. I also have left a small bit untranslated in the lead paragraph rather than translate it inaccurately: "la prescelta dagli dèi (Neteru)". The last word, dèi, was linked to Netjeru in the Italian article (which redirected to their page on Kemetic theology). I barely know any Kemetic theology, so I don't know exactly what relationship this phrase is supposed to represent. I hope someone more informed can fill in the blank. - AdelaMae ^{(talk - contribs)} 03:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Adela, Currently there are no third-party sources on this. Are you sure this is verifiable? --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 22:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

The information in the "Studies and vocation" section is corroborated by the book Religion Online. The rest, I am unsure... the humanitarianism section may have to go. - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 22:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: AOL. Religion Online says Siuda was "an adviser and interfaith manager for the Spirituality Forum of America Online." I'm unsure of the importance of this position. Are they saying she was a Community Leader or something? - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 02:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It's unclear. I don't know how it works on AOL, but when I was on Compuserve (CIS), that sort of phrasing was used for people who volunteered to moderate a message board. As AOL and CIS have merged, my hunch is AOL Community Leader Program is probably what they are referring to. --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 03:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think that would be a career highlight. - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 05:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verification

I've gone through trying to find sources for some of the information in the article. I have gone through the Parliament of the World's Religions programs for the years Siuda states she attended and she did not play enough of a role to be featured in the program either year; if she was merely an attendee, that puts her among thousands. I also checked out the United Religions Initiative and while she may be involved, she is not one of the representatives on their council. I found a picture on a Kashi Ashram page proving an association between Siuda and Kashi, and it's evident that Mary's House is a project of Kashi Ashram, but I can't find evidence from secondary sources that Siuda works with Mary's House. I did, however, discover that she represents the House of Netjer in the World Interfaith Congress.

As to the MA, she is listed as having an MA at the WIC and other places. I found a page establishing that she was in the MA program, but it doesn't give a date of completion.

Perhaps we should merge/redirect this article to Kemetic orthodoxy? I am beginning to suspect that the original Italian article was mostly (or even only) a translation of her official biography into Italian. *sigh* - AdelaMae ^{(t - c - wpn)} 07:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
