[edit] Crowley?

There seems to be some not-so-subtle references to Aleister Crowley in this episode. The Book of Laws (one of three objects presented by 'Nestor Carbonell's' character 'Richard Alpert') seems to relate to Crowley's the Book of The Law which is commonly called Book of Laws and can even be found if you search Book of Laws on wikipedia. Also, the DHARMA character 'Horace' (spelled Horus when referring to Crowley) relates to the entity that Aleister Crowley claims told him he was to write the book of the law. Commonly Crowley refers to Horus as a 'guardian angel' who tells him secret things and grants him knowledge, Horace reveals to Locke the location of the cabin. Because of the nature of this section of the episode, it is possible to believe that Locke could be the reincarnation of Crowley, seeing as Alpert presents to Locke three objects and asks him to identify which one belongs to him, and hints that one may be from a previous life.

That's entirely original research, so I'm going to have to remove it from the article, unless you have a third party source. Jackieboy87 (talk) 19:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, can we mark it as speculation then? And I can get some sources. I will post them here first before editing the article. Qforvendetta (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

If you can get sources that make the comparison between Crowley and Lost, then yes you can put it in the article, but drawing your own conclusions from multiple sources is still original research. Jackieboy87 (talk) 12:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I'll prove the name of the entity he spoke to, along with the name of the book and proof he wrote it. Qforvendetta (talk)

Woah. That entire section was original research so I removed it. –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I put in about horus, about crowley writing the book, make a connection here! Is there a wikipedia rule that says 2+2 cant equal 4 because it's 'original computing' Qforvendetta (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Please indent your posts with colons (:) and sign with four tildes (~), which will generate a timestamp. The Wikipedia rule is that 2+2=4 if a reliable source says so. –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, ok, so I had reliable senses linking Crowley to the book, and linking Crowley to Horace. Whats left to prove? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qforvendetta (talk • contribs) 02:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Your references back up your claims that Crowley and his Book of Laws exist, but they never mention Lost. –thedemonhog talk • edits 05:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

They shouldnt have to mention lost, there is enough evidence there to easily support my claim, there is such a thing as speculation that is in other articles, check out the article on chop suey! (system of a down song) it has a theory as to what the song means that was never stated by any member of the band, instead they supported the evidence and made a valid connection based upon fact Qforvendetta (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 07:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitrary Break Point

The artice you linked above, clearly has a tag stating that the article does not reference any sources. Anyways, if you disagree with the policy on original research on Wikipedia, then you can discuss it here. Jackieboy87 (talk) 16:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
