[edit] IPG's
Who knows what IPG's are and how they relate to the ruhi book material? RoddyYoung 23:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- IPG's are Intensive Programs of Growth. They are certain activities decided upon and organized on the cluster level that are aimed at, among other things, increasing the visibility of the Baha'i community in the area. Activities such as study circles are used to help in expansion and consolidation efforts. IPG's are common in A level clusters maybe some B level ones. The material in the Ruhi books relates in that the Ruhi materials were decided upon for use in study circles and the activities in them, such as home visits, constitute other important IPG activities. -LambaJan 19:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ruhi 1.jpg
Image:Ruhi 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] stuff about rigidity
The article used to say that "Rigidity is avoided." I altered this because it is manifestly untrue. I have done only book 1, but I found it more rigid than anything at school. The "question/answer" routine is extremely strict, as is the bar on offering personal opinions in response to any questions. Other than that, perhaps there is no rigidity, but I felt the original claim needed modification. 203.221.126.221 (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- While I appreciate your initiative in the matter, Wikipedia has a policy against the use of original research in articles. If you feel that this is an unsourced POV claim I'd recommend removing it but replacing it with your own POV doesn't seem to me to be the right solution. Peter Deer (talk) 22:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- There is obviously a difference between how a particular facilitator acts, and what is recommended in the material itself. Book 7, which trains facilitators, has several sections devoted to this issue, and encourages both rigidity and fluidity in different situations. The rigidity is meant to avoid the study circle becoming just a social gathering or a devotional meeting. I highly doubt there being any third-party analysis of study circles, so all we can use in the article are the recommended procedures. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 03:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
