Emptiness
Please don't create an article until you're ready to have actual content: empty articles look bad. What would happen if someone found it through the Random Page button?

I've deleted it, but if you like, I can copy the deleted material to a subpage in your userspace (User:FK0071a/whatever) for you to work on until it's ready. Okay? DS 15:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Bowling Books
Hi,

Your bot? has changed the bowling books pages - said it may delete them for being "nn book" - fair enough but what does that mean so I am able to expand?

Many thanks.

Image Tagging Image:Nickhalling.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Nickhalling.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 08:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Content policies
Hi FK, there are a few problems with the way you're writing and editing, and I think it would help if you'd take time to read our content policies: WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:BLP. In particular, material must be written from a neutral point of view, and in a disinterested tone, and must be carefully sourced. Your writing displays a strong pro-animal rights POV, which means that a lot of your edits will be reverted, whereas if you edit within our content policies, you'll find they'll be more likely to stick. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 03:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

link to British
Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out British or British. Regards, Jeff3000 17:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion procedure
See AfD in 3 steps. I think you missed steps 2 and 3. Let me know if I can help. Tom Harrison Talk 22:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Replace "Reason the page should be deleted" with your reason. Replace my name with four tildes ( ~ ). This will appear as your user name with a time stamp. Tom Harrison Talk 23:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Then we'll move on to step three. Tom Harrison Talk 23:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

The whole thing was a mess, and probably violated WP:POINT anyway. If you want to list it for deletion, try again, and this time follow the directions carefully. Let me know if you have any questions. Tom Harrison Talk 23:53, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Wellcome to your first contact with the anti-truth movement:

Your article Paul Joseph Watson is risking to be deleted. --Striver 14:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the invitation. I have tried to creat similar projects earlier, so expect at least an atemt to delet it very soon. --Striver 11:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Its more or less a rule of thumb, most of the things i creat are afd'd, and most of them are keept. But people want them to go away, and you need to be well informed and stuborn to not get scared away. I even have my own team of editors that follow me to whadever i do, i cant even do something in a totaly unrelated article for them to show up and start hassling me. Just as well to get used to it, Big Brother, or the "Big Brother wannabee team" are watching me :D --Striver 15:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Rocco De Luca
Hiya, I got your message about Rocco DeLuca and the Burden. I edited the Rocco article after watching Sky 1's I Trust you to kill me documentary. To be honest I'm a massive Kiefer Sutherland fan, so I don't know much about the band other than his involvement, and I don't know if I can help you. Sorry that I can't be much help. I am from England too. It was sad that the band didn't get a warmer (and more punctual) welcome in London. Jilly 14:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * PS Your Rocco article says that citations are needed for when Kiefer said he was sacked by the band. I don't know how to cite, but if you go to the Kiefer Rocks website, under 'news' you can view a clip from the The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (from 19 April) that shows Kiefer saying the quote that appears in your article (that mucisians are 'nuts'). Hope this helps. Jilly 14:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Just thought I'd let you know that since you said their music was good I looked on their website and listened to a few tracks. I actually got really into it, particularly liking Colorful and Mystified, so I've asked for the (CD) album for my birthday. You aren't sad for getting a Bauer bag - I'm in the 24 fanclub!

Katja Lane
Hello. I deleted the article because someone else had tagged it. All the article contained was that she was the wife of an imprisoned Wotanist and a co-founder of his organisation (together with lots of "see also" wikilinks). I didn't think this lends her notability per WP:BIO. The closest WP:BIO criterion I could find was, "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events, such as by being assassinated," and I don't think she qualifies there. If you have more information about her, please resubmit an article that explains more clearly why joint-foundation of this organisation makes her notable.

Internal links to a subheading

More information on "Teachings of the Odin Brotherhood." It was "printed" by Thule Publications, PO Box 4542, Portland, Oregon 97208, USA. There is no ISBN. Athough nicely done, it appears to have been an underground publication--one "off the radar."

If I remember correctly, the leader of a "Thule" group was assaulted with a baseball bat some years ago in Portland. That may explain why the web site no longer exists for this Thule group.--Jkelley 21:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! For the record, I only put the link on your page. The "hostile fellow" copied the text here and altered it. Sorry about that. Be sure to delte what he copied, as it is adulturated.

--Jkelley 02:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is the correct version. His adulturated version follows:--Jkelley 02:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The Odin Brotherhood is a secret society for men and women who value “knowledge, freedom, and power.”

The Brotherhood practices the ancient warrior religion called Odinism. Consecrated to the pagan gods of the Norse pantheon --gods viewed as "older, better, and truer"- members of the Brotherhood use the so-called Eddaic Verses–also called the Poetic Edda–as a kind of scripture.

Members claim their pagan order was established in 1421 to protect the ancient religion during the "Burning Times," and they insist it has existed in unbroken lineage to the present. If the claim is accurate, the Odin Brotherhood resembles the Tariquat, the secret brotherhoods in Islam that sustain the traditions underground in times of intense persecution.

Who Established the Odin Brotherhood?
Their myth of foundation –albeit interesting– is fantastic. Like the story of Hiram Abif in Freemasonry, the foundation myth of the Brotherhood involves a crime against innocence.

In the legend of the Brotherhood, the story begins when a young pagan widow was caught honoring her ancient gods and goddesses in a remote grotto. For her action, an angry mob burned her on a pyre composed of green wood.

After the murder, the woman’s three children used an ancient and forbidden rite from paganism (a rite called necromancy) and summoned her from beyond the grave.

Answering the summons, the slain woman instructed her children to save the ancient religion of Odinism by taking the movement underground. They were instructed to form a secret society–a "conspiracy of equals"--dedicated to the old gods.

According to the Odin Brotherhood, all of these events occurred somewhere in Eurasia–somewhere north of the Black Sea--in the fifteenth century of the current era.

They also insist that buried artifacts exist which will some day confirm their tale.

How Does One Join the Odin Brotherhood?
Traditionally, the teachings are spread from person to person. Only by word of mouth, from mind to mind, could the secrets pass.

Today, however, with more written information appearing in manuscript and in published form, solitary practitioners (“lone wolves” who initiate themselves)–are becoming more common.

In its current form, membership in the Odin Brotherhood is secret–as in the so-called Illuminati conspiracy. The objectives of the Odin Brotherhood are stated publicly, as in the legendary Rosicrucians.

Secret Societies are still illegal in some countries. As Nick Harding points out in Secret Societies, for example, they are forbidden by the constitution of Poland.

The Rite of Blood
Joining the Odin Brotherhood involves a kind of vision quest cemented by a ceremony of blood.

In ancient religion, without blood there is no power. That is the reason that animals were cut in half when the biblical Jehovah made his covenant with Abraham.

Also, because of the power of blood Jewish boys are circumcised on the eighth day.

The initiation rite of the Odin Brotherhood--which is based on the “marking with the spear” rite described by the medieval author Snorri Sturluson, involves solitude, a diet of bread and ice, a dagger, and a fire.

The initiate –after proper purification– makes three incisions on his body. He then devotes, hallows, and sanctifies his soul to the “gods who live” by penetrating a fire three times with a dagger stained with his own blood.

From the beginning, the movement--in spite of its name--has included women.

Theology, Devotion, and Ethics
The Odin Brotherhood embraces polytheism. The gods, which include Odin, Thor, Frigga, Heimdall, Vidar, Tyr, Freya, and the other beings in the Norse pantheon, are viewed as powerful entities that are finite in nature. The gods are not omnipotent—they are not omniscient—but they accomplish their wills through struggle, not fiats. Humanoid in shape, the gods are physical beings that inhabit hidden corridors in the universe. Often appearing on earth in disguise, they are known by many names in many languages. Odin, for example, appears also as Hermes and Rudra. Believing in direct contact with the gods, the Odin Brotherhood teaches that deities typically communicate with humanity through a system of "messengers and spies."

Devotionally, members of the Odin Brotherhood do not worship the gods on their knees. Refusing to be slaves, Odinists admire the gods but do not grovel before them.

Ethically, the Odin Brotherhood creates no laws, only virtues. The Odin Brotherhood glorifies "thought, courage, honor, light, and beauty."

A tradition for warriors, the Odin Brotherhood teaches that "when the gods made man, they made a weapon." The Odin Brotherhood represents strength over weakness, pride over humility, and knowledge over faith.

Death and Afterlife
The Odin Brotherhood teaches that all beings ultimately experience death. In poetic terms, death is personified as beautiful females--called the valkyries--who exist "in an endless variety of exquisite forms."

Since death is not annihilation, the "transfigured life form" will go to one of three Other-Worlds. The most famous of these "Other-Worlds" is Valhalla.

In cosmic terms, death is described as Ragnarok, the final battle which destroys every universe. According to the Odin Brotherhood, Ragnarok is an "orgy of purification" from which a new cosmos is born. The cycle of destruction and rebirth--which will go on forever--is called the Law-of-the-Endless-Circle."

Also called the "eternal return," the "Law-of-the-Endless-Circle" teaches that existence never ends with destruction. "Nothing dies forever," and all beings--and all things--will return.

Discovery and Exposure of the Brotherhood Today
The Odin Brotherhood's was first exposed to the general public in 1992 with the publication of the book The Odin Brotherhood by Dr. Mark L. Mirabello, who is a professor of European history at Shawnee State University.

First contact was made when Mirabello encountered a silver-haired man in a bookshop in Leith, in the United Kingdom. At the time, Mirabello was conducting historical reseach as a doctoral student in Scotland's University of Glasgow.

The gentleman, who called himself Lodur's Friend (in honor of the mysterious god in the Eddaic Verses), was holding a peculiar cane adorned with the images of the serpent and the ass, the two animals that speak in the bible.

"Blind loyalty is a virtue in a dog, but it is an offense in a human being," declared the stranger, when he noticed Mirabello studying an obscure essay on faith.

The two men became friends, and "Lodur's Friend" introduced Mirabello to a "circle of fascinating individuals." The group met for unusual feasts, normally in Edinburgh or London, always at night, and always during the time of the new moon.

The feasts were referred to as "conventicles," and they were by invitation only. Those who "feared" or "hated" authority were excluded, but those who "laughed at" authority were welcome.

Some years after the publication of Mirabello's book, the anonymous and privately printed Teachings of the Odin Brotherhood began to circulate. Copies of the latter are rare.

Odin Brotherhood
Why don't you buy the book of this Mirabello guy, to enjoy his fantasies in origin? I don't see any problem to put this text here. I am only against free promo of Mirabello the fantasy writer. `'mikkanarxi 02:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The Odin Brotherhood is a secret society claiming to practices an ancient Germanic "warrior religion" called Odinism. Members of the Brotherhood use the Eddaic Verses, also called the Poetic Edda, as a kind of scripture. The existence of the society was claimed in 1992 by Mark L. Mirabello.

Members claim their pagan order was established in 1421 to protect the ancient religion during the persecution of the "Burning Times", and they insist it has existed in unbroken lineage to the present. In its current form, membership in the Odin Brotherhood is clandestine–as in the so-called Illuminati. The objectives of the Odin Brotherhood are stated publically, as in the legendary Rosicrucians.

Mirabello's alleged discovery of the Brotherhood
The Odin Brotherhood's first expose into the general public came to light in 1992 with the publication of the book 'The Odin Brotherhood' by Mark L. Mirabello, who is the professor of European History at Shawnee State University.

First contact was made when Mirabello encountered a silver-haired gentleman in a bookshop in Leith in Scotland while conducting doctoral research in history at Scotland's University of Glasgow.

The gentleman, whom called himself Lodur's Friend (in honour of the enigmatic god of the Eddaic Verses), was of eastern European ethnicity and was holding, according to Mirabello, a peculiar cane adorned with the images of the serpent and the ass, the two animals that speak in the bible. Both were examining occult books. The gentleman noticed that Mirabello was studying a book called the 'The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross' by Arthur Edward Waite. During this encounter the gentleman pointed out that "The rose symbolizes secrecy" while pointing to an engraving in Mirabello's book on the Rosy Cross. The gentleman went on to say that "Since we speak sub rosa or 'under the rose', our discussion must remain forever secret." Several months passed before Mirabello saw the old man again, which occurred at the Atlantis Bookshop, an occult emporium near the British Museum in London, England. "Blind loyalty is a virtue in a dog, but it is an offense in a human being" declared the stranger, when he noticed Mirabello studying an obscure essay on faith.

Mirabello has stated that since he was interested in the stranger's knowledge they became friends and that they began to meet for dinner, usually in Edinburgh or London, at which time the stranger introduced him to a "circle of fascinating individuals". This gathering of friends for a meal (which only dined at night, during the time of the new moon), referred to itself as a conventicle, was by invitation only, and those that 'feared' or 'hated' authority were excluded. Mirabello states that those that 'laughed at' authority were welcome. The meals always adjourned before dawn.

Some years after the publication of Mirabello's book, the anonymous and privately printed Teachings of the Odin Brotherhood began to circulate. Copies of the latter are rare.

re: Chaos Magic term first used?
I'm afraid I can't help you. My involvement with the Peter J. Carroll page was limited to the removal of some obvious gibberish and non-encyclopedic content. From the look of the discussion page, the assertion that he coined the term remains unsourced. If someone doesn't come forward in a reasonable period of time, I'd pull the comment from that article. Good luck. Rossami (talk) 00:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Einstein plaigiarist?
The only people who believe Einstein is a plaigiarist are a small group of white supremacists and outspoken anti-Semites (most of which also happen to be Holocaust deniars). It is not a theory which has any standing in the non-crackpot community at all. It is not a notable POV to represent; the number of people who seriously advocate it can be counted on one hand. Their voice gets magnified with something like the internet, of course, but it is a small, fringe blip. To even discuss it at all on the Einstein page would give it undue weight under our NPOV policy. In any case we already have an article (Relativity priority dispute) which covers most of the bases and keeps it out of the main article. In any case, at least one of the links you listed doesn't even have anything to do with that — read the post-script on this one. --Fastfission 02:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:BillHoffman.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:BillHoffman.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link].

Guido von List Translation
The Großes Höllental (English: greater valley of Hell) is an area of the Höllental ("valley of Hell") of the Zugspitze.


 * Hurax, here are the pages. 19 (highlighted with a red box, I also think this mentinos the Rax?) (German wikipedia article) - this is page 19 of the book Der Wiederentdecker Uralter Arischer Weisheit and this page 523 is page 523 of the book Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder. Please can you translate these for me please? I GREATLY appreciate your help on this. Also, in the second book, their is a chapter called 'Das Höllental' which is referred to I think in the second link above (523)? (Siehe Seite 469 ?)  A few weeks ago you kindly  "found the solution to your riddle here:  Ask if you need a translation. To put it short, the Großes Höllental is a small valley leading to the Rax, in Lower Austria in the easternmost end of the Alps, and has nothing to do with the Höllental which leads up to the Zugspitze. - so, if the second link does mention the Rax then this is what it is? I would like to get this perfect. If this is correct then it should be added to the list on the German article section called Einige Wanderungen und Steige Robert C Prenic 18:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Red Box: "Once, the alpine majesties nearly kept the brave wanderer with them. During the descent from the Gaisloch (Rax) Guido v. List fell on the 8. May 1871. A mass of ice loosened beneath his feet and threw him into the depths. He was only saved because a cone of fresh snow harbored him.  In rememberance of his rescue from mortal danger Guido v. List made a chain path (not sure how to translate that) be constucted, which was called "Guido-List-Steig" after him. "


 * 2: Picture 73. Cf. page 469. Panorama of the Großes Höllental. On the place marked with "X", the author fell on may 8, 1871 and let a chain path be constructed out of his own expense, which was opened on June 21, 1871, under the name "Guido-List-Steig".

That's all.--Hurax 18:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

yes, suf.at. translation coming soon, sorry but i had no time in the last days. --Hurax 10:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Gaislochsteig (Loswand): At first the Gaislochsteig was only secured by a steel rope erected by the ÖTK (donated by Mr. Türcke). The construction of the Steig (path/via ferrata) we owe to Mr. Guido List, who, on 8. May 1876 fell during a definitely perilous ascent attempt, past the rocks by a vertical altitude of more than 20m, without being hurt seriously. In thankful rememberance of that lucky fall he let the most dangerous places be secured with brackets and chains, out of his own expense. On the 28. 29. and 30. November 1870 [sic] 8 lumberjacks erected 300kg of chains across a length of 48 meters. Even earlier the Gaislochsteig was allegedly equipped with chains on the order of Archduke Johann. The wall, netted with water, is however subject to a constand process of destruction which repeatedly makes fortifies paths inaccessible by tearing out single strands of rock. A commemorative plaque remembers Franz Podgorski and Rudolf Stölzle who fell out of the walls of the Wilder Gaislochsteig in 1892. --Hurax 11:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Freya Aswynn
Robert, Since you seem to have the most invested in the Freya Aswynn entry I'm writing to appeal to you to shape up the entry. As it stands it really should be nominated for deletion. It looks like all the information is coming directly from her site, which whether true or not is self promotion and not acceptable. Also, it seems that her real name is something like "Elizabeth Hooy-schuur", or at least so it is stated in the following article. See also in the responses to this piece, below the article, that supposedly Freya uses a different spelling of this same name. Anyway, my point with all of that is that if she has a legal name then both should be mentioned. You could follow the protocol used for Edred Thorsson/Stephen Flowers. That is to say, Edred links to Flowers where the actual entry is. Either way, you need to specify that Freya Aswynn is a pseudonym if it is one. That's at least a start. If no materials other than those provided by her are available, the entry should be very specific about this as well. Freya claims ... etc. I hope that helps and I hope you can salvage the entry. Best.PelleSmith 23:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I see you have no interest in this even though you created the page. I intend on nominating it for deletion.  Have a good one.PelleSmith 02:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have added a "" template to the article Freya Aswynn, 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 its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article 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.

You were the only user that I could imagine may want to improve the entry, but you did not even respond to my message of over a week ago so perhaps you are not interested in improving the entry perhaps it cannot be improved. Thanks.PelleSmith 02:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced material in Germanic mysticism
Hello. As far as I can trace it back, it appears that the following passage was originally authored by yourself:


 * Ariosophy has been termed a theoretical precursor of the Nazi genocide. However, the foremost expert on Guido von List in the English-speaking world, Stephen E. Flowers, refuses to connect the theories of List and other early 20th century rune magicians directly to the excesses of Auschwitz. One German academic, Stefanie von Schnurbein (1992: 136), in commenting on Flowers' introduction to The Secret of the Runes, states: "Dabei erwähnt [Flowers] an keiner Stelle, daß List und die anderen Ariosophen Vordenker des Rassenwahns des Nationalsozialismus waren... (In this work [Flowers] nowhere mentions that List and the other Ariosophists were intellectual predecessors of the racial madness of National Socialism...)"


 * Although it is now considered conventional wisdom that the ideas of List, Lanz and others were directly implemented in the Nazi genocide, Flowers states that this is “with little to no actual critical investigation”. Because the very term “Ariosophy” was analogous to its predecessor, “Theosophy”, it has also been argued that the racial ideas in Ariosophy can be traced to Theosophy. Flowers states that “no one has ever shown that racial policies of the NSDAP are based on so-called 'Ariosophical' ideas.”


 * It has further been argued that even the writings of the most "extreme" of the Ariosophists, Lanz von Liebenfels, cannot be definitively linked to the applied anti-semitism of the Nazis. Apologists for Lanz state that he did not write unfavorably about the Jewish race, that he cooperated with Jewish scholars in many of his publications, and while it can be argued that individual Nazis became familiar with the mystical racism of Theosophy through the works of List and Lanz, it does not necessarily follow that List and Lanz were culpable in the crimes of the Nazis.

This entire block was recently deleted from Germanic mysticism. I intend to put it back, suitably rewritten, and wondered if you could possibly fill in some of the missing citations, especially for Flowers? Please post it on my user talk page afterwards.

Thanking you in advance, Gnostrat 14:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:SchwarzeSonneArtifacts.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:SchwarzeSonneArtifacts.JPG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Replaceable fair use Image:Zierscheiben.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Zierscheiben.JPG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Interested in Esotericism in Germany and Austria and Wikipedia:WikiProject Occult?
Hello Robert C Prenic,

I had noticed that you did not write anything on the talk page of Germanic mysticism, when we discussed the move to Ariosophy. I would have been interested in your opinion (and I hope that you would not have disagreed too strongly).

Anyway, I acknowledge that you have an interest in Esotericism in Germany. Whereas I will admit that my interest in Ariosophy is based on its connection to Nazism (whatever that may be), I also acknowledge that an interest in this field for esoteric reasons is legitimate. To deal with this topic, I have created the article Esotericism in Germany and Austria, with material from Nazi occultism. I wonder if you would be interested in expanding it, and if you like I would also invite you to join the WikiProject Occult.

Kind regards, Zara1709 14:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

What Zara said. Your contributions would be really appreciated on Ariosophy too; the material we are now working with has largely grown from articles which you created or contributed to. As you can see, I've merged some of them but generally kept your material and expanded it. I am still hoping that you can supply some references for the Ariosophy-and-Nazism stuff that I posted here some weeks ago. Please feel free to add any sources which you may have on the Ariosophy talk page. Best, Gnostrat 22:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * A short, important additional notice. Working on Ariosophy, I just read the article Guido-List-Bücherei. Some of the phrasing seemed weird, so I checked it out. One section of that article is actually copied from here or here. Before I flag that article I would like to give you the time for a comment. Zara1709 15:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Dodgy quote
Hi Rob - Sharon was a very nasty piece of work, and it's a great shame he'll never face justice for it. But the statement "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." is disputed by CAMERA. However, we'd only trust a source that speaks of "Palestinian duplicity" when we trust one that spoke of "Jewish duplicity", so I don't really know whether to believe them!

The Catch
Hi, I came across The Catch (American football movie), and I wanted to let you know that the notability guidelines for films says that articles on future films can only be created when filming commences. This is due to the various factors that can halt a project before it enters production, such as the recent writers' strike that has affected a lot of projects. I am going to prod the article for deletion. If you wish, you can userfy the article and recreate it if filming on this project begins. Let me know if you have any questions! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 05:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Thors Hammer Vodka, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Israel lobby in the United Kingdom
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Israel lobby in the United Kingdom, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, 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.

Copyright problems
Hello,. Concerning your contribution, Andy Chung, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material without the permission of the author.

 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Andy Chung and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

re:Andy Chung
I am not the one who deleted Andy Chung - I merely marked it for someone else to delete it - so I cannot retrieve the text for you. You could ask User:Coredesat to retrieve the text for you but he might decline because the text was a copyright violation. The simplest thing for you would be to go to http://www.andychung.co.uk/biography.html which was the source of the text and use that as a source for writing a new article that does not copy word for word the other web site.

Notability of Andrea Minichiello Williams
A tag has been placed on Andrea Minichiello Williams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 13:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification
Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
