[edit] Heavenly Mother

"Mormon children are taught that someday the name of the Heavenly Mother will be revealed, and TEENAGERS are told the reason it has not been revealed so far is in order to prevent anyone from taking her name in vain." I do apologize. I accidentally left out the word "teenagers" in the previous statement I inserted in the Heavenly Mother article. With the word "teenagers" inserted, this statement reflects what I was taught in the LDS Church. Besides being taught this in church, I was also told this by my Mormon mother. I attended the LDS Church until the age of 18. Best wishes to you, Keraunos 08:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Although this is a widely held belief - we need to stick to what the official teachings of the church are in the manuals and other published documents. Quotes like this need to be cited to specific sources - then we can include them. Trödel 14:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Why is it wrong to point out that this is commonly taught in LDS churches? I too was taught this. That it is not found in any scripture, but is ubiquitous nonetheless, almost gives it a higher place in Mormon belief, if not doctrine. Unschool 03:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Internet counter

See WP:STAT and Category:Wikipedia statistics for current statistics. I remember reading a discussion about article counters a long time ago, and I believe consensus was against their use, although I'm pretty sure similar data (most edited pages) can be acquired either through downloading the database or using the external sites linked above. —Viriditas | Talk 05:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aryan race

Hi can you please provide citations for these alleged aims of neo-Nazis? Paul B 09:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NWO

Keraunos, do you have any sources for the "origins" section you wrote for the new world order article? Your contribution may fit better in the New World Order (conspiracy) article.—Perceval 18:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Keraunos, once again, do you have any sources you can cite for your additions to new world order? Wikipedia content must be verifiable.—Perceval 16:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Color

Hi, I've seen you've been doing a ton of work on various color-related articles. I just wanted to invite you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Color. You also might like to see a summary of the guiding principles we've discussed recently.

There's also a specific talkpage thread (#Shades of... Subsections) that you should see. Thanks, and happy editing :-) --Quiddity 22:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Keraunos, I know that you have been contributing a lot to the various colour pages, but I worry that you are trying to overly define colors. For most colour names there is no such thing as precise coordinates. It doesn't really make sense to me to say that a colour is exactly halfway between other colours, and making changes to the coordinates so that they are thusly defined seems to be retroactively defining the terms. PaleAqua 04:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Please do come to the project page and discuss this. I fear that all your hard work may be wasted unless it can be properly sourced. Notinasnaid 16:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
For instance, this edit to Purple is pretty horrendous. Intro paragraphs should be concise and useful. +sj + 05:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time zone

I think you are referring to the settings in your preferences. Go there, and note what zone is listed, if any. —Viriditas | Talk 02:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] After Dark

Thanks for your contribution. Could you provide the author's name for the article? I've formatted your reference to match the other citations in the article, if you could just add "Last, First, " before the article title, that would be great.—Chidom talk  15:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tellus vs. Terra

You added a statement to Terra (mythology) that technically, in correct Classical Latin, "Terra" refers to earth as an element and "Tellus" refers to the sphere on which we live.

Could you please provide a source for this? I'm not an expert in Classical Latin by any means, but from a little bit of digging it seems Ovid was unaware of this distinction. If this is a well-known bit of Latin trivia, then it might be worth noting, in which case it should be easy to come up with a reference.

Thanks -Dmh 15:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hanky codes

I responded to your comment on my talk page, at Atomaton. Thanks!

[edit] Palatinate

Thanks for the comment, looks like I didn't manage to revert mine in time. :-) Sorry, it seems that the green gun on the spare monitor I'm using at work is completely shot... I guess that's one of the problems of reproducing colours on-screen - everyone's reproduction looks slightly different. DWaterson 11:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Office green

What is office green?? (The Office green Wikipedia link is a ghost link; any appropriate re-direct??) Georgia guy 18:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

I notice you're making great contributions, but marking them all as "minor". On Wikipedia, minor edits are edits that don't change the meaning or content of the article, such as spelling or format changes. You may have set the "mark all edits as minor" preference. Cheers, -Will Beback 09:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arsenic and OldLace

Love it! The userboxes come from Wikiproject Babel - Wikipedia:Babel is probably what you need for a start. You're welcome to grab the code from my userpage if you want, and if you take a look around at other peoples' you're sure to see other userboxes that will come in useful. Cheers, Tonywalton  | Talk 14:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

The "special sort of detection system" is a standard Wikipedia special page - just go to Special:Newpages. I'm doing a thing called New Pages Patrol. There's also Special:Recentchanges which shows all changes rather than just new pages. New Page Patrollers (and Recent Changes Patrollers - RC patrollers) hang around on these pages looking for evidence of vandalism. It's a completely self-assigned thing, nobody makes anyone be an RC patroller, and it's certainly not a paid position! I'm just another Wikipedian. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article counters

I'm afraid I have no idea how it would be implemented per-page, but I'm certain the Wiki keeps the data somewhere. Try Special:Specialpages and Wikipedia:Statistics for a start. You could also ask on the Village Pump, which is a place where people pose such questions. Tonywalton  | Talk 15:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original Web colours

I've not come across an original 17 colours; the HTML4 spec names 16; the ones you list with the exception of orange. Tonywalton  | Talk 17:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

And that seems to be the first spec for web colours. (HTML4.0 was published 18th Dec 1997). The HTML3.2 spec allows colour specification but just seems to allow a hex RGB triplet, no colour names:
<!ENTITY % color "CDATA" -- a color specification: #HHHHHH @@ details? -->

whereas HTML4.0 has

<!ENTITY % Color "CDATA" -- a color using sRGB: #RRGGBB as Hex values -->

<!-- There are also 16 widely known color names with their sRGB values:

    Black  = #000000    Green  = #008000
    Silver = #C0C0C0    Lime   = #00FF00
    Gray   = #808080    Olive  = #808000
    White  = #FFFFFF    Yellow = #FFFF00
    Maroon = #800000    Navy   = #000080
    Red    = #FF0000    Blue   = #0000FF
    Purple = #800080    Teal   = #008080
    Fuchsia= #FF00FF    Aqua   = #00FFFF
 -->

(No mention of orange). The previous HTML spec, HTML2.0 from 1995, doesn't mention color (or colour, given that Tim Berners-Lee is a Brit) at all. Tonywalton  | Talk 17:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


If you read the X11 color names article you'll see that

It is not known who originally compiled the list. The list shows neither a continuity in selected color values nor in color names, and many color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them making it practically impossible to introduce a more stringent and logical alias list.X11 color names"

. Unless you know different, of course :-) Tonywalton  | Talk 17:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recreated article

Hi Keraunos, I noticed you recreated the Stripping fetishism article after it had been deleted. For the discussion of the deletion, see this page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stripping fetishism. If you wish to have the article recreated, you must first discuss it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Robotman1974 17:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Watermelon (color)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Watermelon (color), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Watermelon (color). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Fram 15:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

The article Ascended master, to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup.

If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page.
You have been left this message by PocKleanBot, an automated process that notifies editors that articles to which they may have contributed on more than one occasion in the past now need cleanup. If you have any comments or object to this message being left, please leave a message on PocKleanBot's talk page.

[edit] Colour generating software

You ask: "What is the name of the software that Wikipedia uses to make the color box formula on the editing page display as a color box in the article?" If I understand you correctly you mean "what converts "#9926db" into purple?" And the answer is "your web browser". Colour specification like that is simply part of the HTML spec, like <b> meaning bold. As for getting software that allows you to preview a given hex triplet as a colour, that would depend on what OS you're running. I'm using a Mac so I use the bundled DigitalColor Meter to measure the values of given screen pixels and various bits of freeware such as ColorTagGen to see what a given triplet looks like as a colour. If you're running on a Mac you're welcome to have a copy of ColorTagGen (which is open source). Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 12:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation.

Hey there, I noticed you wrote on your userpage that you are interested in gay history: would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I've noticed you doing some intelligent things (opinion)

to the Art Deco article and am wondering what you think of the 1910 starting date? I'm more comfortable with 1920, but am looking for a 2nd, informed, opinion. Carptrash 04:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the Rose article. In a couple of weeks I shall be visiting my father (Pheonix) - who is Icelandic, and thus interested in all things related. He will no duobt have an opinion about the Rose issue. Rose is also my daughter's middle name, passed on from her maternal grandmother, so I will remember it. Now about Art Deco. If I asked you how tall a particular tree was would you include the roots in the measurement? Most folks (opinion) would not. Pretty much every art movement (if that is what deco is) is dependent on various precursors and that, to me, is what the Armory Show and the Futurists and Cubism are. To me, Deco clearly comes to the United States at least, after the 1925 Paris event (which the US did not participate in) so to trace it back to the Armory Show seems spurious. However I asked for an informed opinion and not just for you to agree with me, so thinks for providing one. I've planted it, shall water and feed it, then mull it over for a few months and see what grows. Carptrash 14:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{LGBTProject}}

Hi, Keraunos! Please don't remove the LGBT project banner from articles that it belongs on (like Trocadero Transfer - we use the banner to help a) promote the WikiProject and b) categorize articles according to their assessment. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 07:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Awesome! Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red

I see you expanded the article, but did not add any references. WP:ATT explains the requirements. Please add the necessary references to support your changes, and add references for the existing content as well. Dhaluza 11:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Nothing is self-evident. All content requires references in the subject article, not linked articles. Please help if you can. Dhaluza 12:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I came here to say the same thing. And I notice a similar pattern on other colors. I'm going to start pulling out unsourced statements and subsections soon, so please add your references to things you care about. Dicklyon 06:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World domination

Firstly, please try to incorporate your minor edits into larger ones. Otherwise you clog up the edit history, making it harder to navigate.

Again, where is your evidence for this material you have added regarding Neo-Nazis? Slac speak up! 06:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vinland

when using words like 'commonly,' you will definitely need a site as this can be construed as WP:Weasel words. i am hesitant to revert, as i am hoping you can provide a ref outside of wikipedia. tx. the_undertow talk 09:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color sources

Thank you for your work in adding colour sources. I am concerned, though, that you are adding sources as diverse as other Wikipedia pages and forum posts, which do not meet Wikipedia:Attribution#Reliable sources. I think sources are at the heart of a long-overdue debate on color articles, and I have begun a discussion here [1]. I imagine you will want to contribute to this discussion. Notinasnaid 11:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color comparison charts

I've joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Color (by adding my signature there) and started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Color about your color comparison strip charts. You might want to join, too, or join the discussion in any case, so we don't have to have it at each color page. Dicklyon 14:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seven Rays

Dear Keraunos. I notice you have reverted some of the changes I made to this article, and am curious on what basis you have done this. As a long-time student of the original 24 books of Alice Bailey, I am frankly puzzled by some of the teachings you ascribe to her. Where, for example, does she mention "etheric cities"? Please cite your source. At the moment this page is not an accurate reflection of Alice Bailey's position, and I will be changing it again to reflect this.

Domdib

You are correct. The "etheric cities" ("retreats") for each Master are concepts introduced by the Church Universal and Triumphant. I changed the article to reflect that. Also, the "characteristic magic" of each ray was listed by C.W. Leadbeater and not Alice A. Bailey--I moved that list to a new section. By the way, you should start a talk page so that people can reply to you on your own talk page. That is the normal procedure. Keraunos 08:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

To clarify the beliefs of "Ascended Master Activities" (such as The I AM Activity, Bridge to Freedom, The Summit Lighthouse/Church Universal and Triumphant, and The Temple of The Presence): There is the concept that there are 14 Etheric Cities (see my article: Fourteen Etheric Cities of the Earth) - meaning these are located in the upper sub-planes of the physical octave. Many Retreats of Ascended Masters (see: Ascended Master Retreats and Temples) are believed to have been established (in order to serve and instruct humanity towards higher evolutionary progress and a return to a planet-wide Golden Age) in all 7 sub-planes of the physical octave - from the lowest and most dense (perceived by our outer senses) to the highest and least dense (perceived through expanded senses) - the 3 highest of which have been termed "etheric". There are still six other octaves in our solar system above the physical octave (each composed of 7 sub-planes): emotional (astral), mental (devachan), Buddhic, Atmic (Causal), Ascended Master Octave, and the Octave of the God Flames.
Guy Ballard's 1930s books, Unveiled Mysteries, The Magic Presence, and The "I AM" Discourses go into great detail explaining the nature of the Ascended Master Retreats (some being very physical and tangible in locations such as the "Cave of Symbols" in Wyoming, the Retreat in Paris of the Council of France of the Great White Brotherhood, and the ancient subterranean complex on the Arabian Peninsula. There are descriptions of traveling to a few of these in his flesh and blood physical body, and of other travels that involved the conscious projection of his etheric (memory) body and Higher Mental Body. Students in the "Ascended Master Activities" are taught to travel to the Retreats at night while their flesh bodies rest, and also to work toward developing the ability to do this in full waking consciousness.
"Ascended Master Activities" believe that with the setting aside of the occult law at the beginning of the 1930s, the previously "hidden" teachings that were only taught to Initiates in the Retreats of the Great White Brotherhood were now allowed to be taught publicly and in detail. These are concepts such as the nature of each person being God Incarnate - the "I AM" Presence Individualized - and the purpose of Life. These are the understandings about the nature of each person's Divine Consciousness and Birthright that had resulted in persecution and death in the past (and still can in the present in some repressive cultures).
And yes, the concept of Super-Human Immortals with Powers far beyond those of mortal men has existed in the religions, mythologies, and "mystery schools" of all ages. "Ascended Master Activities", however, have their own terminology and explanations for some beliefs that appear similar to other metaphysical philosophies, such as Daoism, Theosophy, Rosicrucians, and the Chaldean Magi.

[edit] NBS Color Names Dictionary

That Texas stamp collector's site seems to list several different color chips per color name. Is there any reason to believe it's a reliable source, esp. for the numeric values? I just ordered a copy of the NBS pub so I can see what it says. You might want to get one, too. Starting at $15: ABEBOOKS.com – Dicklyon 05:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Afro Lusitanic American

I nominated an article that you created, Afro Lusitanic American, for deletion. If you think that the article is salvageable, or that I'm mistaken, please comment on its deletion page. Please see the Guide to deletion if you have any questions about Wikipedia's deletion process. -- Tikiwont 11:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invasion of Czechoslovakia

Hi! You made this edit concerning the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. Since you've also added a reference for that, I'm a little reluctant to touch it -- but as far as I know, the military codename for the operation itself was actually Unternehmen Südost (Operation Southeast), not Fall Grün (Operation Green). But again, since I have no book at hand to cite, I left your edit in place. -- Sandius 12:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Dean (Ufologist)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Robert Dean (Ufologist), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Phgao 07:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Electric blue (color)

A tag has been placed on Electric blue (color), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g1.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Dicklyon 06:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page histories and merged articles

The answer is yes, but it depends on whether the articles are redirects or have been deleted. If it's a redirect, just click the redirect to see the page history. If it's been moved/merged into a new article, there's a good chance that the page history has been merged as well. If the article was deleted, then you may need to ask an admin to pull the history for you. (see this page) If you are interested in merging different page histories, you may want to see: Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen or just contact one of the admins listed on that page if you need help. Otherwise, feel free to give me specific examples and I can try to help, but I don't have a sysop bit. —Viriditas | Talk 13:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starflight Network

You don't seem to have any citation that the "Starflight Network" ever existed. I can't find one through either a Google search or a Google Book search, and Wilson's lecture agent from 1982 through 1988 has never heard of it. Also, such info as "One of the activities of the group was setting up and manning tables to sell Dr. Timothy Leary's and Robert Anton Wilson's books at Star Trek conventions" and "Discusssions at the group centered on how to practically implement the futurist ideas of space migration, intelligence increase, and life extension (SMI²LE) that were three central concepts of Leary's philosophy" are hardly encyclopedic; the same could be said for dozens of groups. Please provide documentation to support this paragraph.Rosencomet (talk) 19:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

"I simply recorded my memories of what happened there when I attended the meetings during 1976. I used to help Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson set up the tables to sell their books at Star Trek conventions."
The problem is, in Wikipedia this is called "original research", as I'm sure you are aware since you have been a contributer for over a year. You need to document the existence of the organization and the fact that it was founded by Robert Anton Wilson, and preferably do so using third-party references. Also, even if it's true, the fact that they sold books by Wilson and Leary is hardly encyclopedic. It might be acceptable in an article about the Starflight Network itself, assuming its existence is notable at all. Can you find any newspaper clippings of articles mentioning the Starflight Network?
I can't find much of a connection between John Draper and Robert Anton Wilson, either, except that they were both in the film Borders. A search on John Draper and Starflight Network yields nothing. and the group only existed for 1-2 years, you say?Rosencomet (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seven Rays

Someone eliminated the Seven rays article by redirecting it to the Ascended Master Teachings. This in effect made it disappear. I reverted the redirect, and this brought the article back. Then he put a "Merge proposal" tag at the top of the article. He also put "Merge proposal" tags at the top of a number of other articles.

I think you might want to comment on this since you spent a lot of time contributing to this and other articles listed in the "Category:Ascended Master Teachings" (such as Master Jesus and others). To merge them will essentially remove them from Wikipedia. All this has been done without discussion or consensus. Arion (talk) 00:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Schwartz

Due to past problems with the article, I have to insist that information added there be supported by reliable sources, so I've removed your contributions. I must admit, without any additional context to establish its significance, I'm not sure what the point is of mentioning trivial things like a high school student distributing a "zine" or a brief stint managing a short-lived punk band. --Michael Snow (talk) 00:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit dispute on Kardashev scale

In the last month or so there's been a edit dispute on the article, about what it is, who it was meant for, where the article needs to go, whether it needs to be split. Not of lot of people work on it, so there's very few people deciding these issues. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article, it's history, and talk page and put your two cents in at the bottom of the Talk:Kardashev scale page. If you could, it'd be really helpful.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Performance art dancer

A tag has been placed on Performance art dancer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Hamitic

I like your edit to Hamitic. But why reduce the intro down to one sentance, a couple of introductory paragraps to give the uninitiated reader some context would be nice, dont you think? --Ezeu (talk) 22:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
