"Love is the Law" Ref. Crowley




 * Hey, if you're talking about this revert, typically on Wikipedia "support" sections come before "opposition" sections. To me, moving an opposition section so it comes before a support section is POV pushing and is against WP:NPOV. (mild request, can you explain what the rest of your message means?)

From Teahouse
It was user talk page thread. This is the wrong place to ask about it. Users are allowed to delete or archive almost anything from their talk pages. I assume that user:FunIsOptional had no interest in continuing your thread, but you would have to ask that user. Meters (talk) 09:33, 12 January 2023 (UTC) I am asking why response was not given... 203.87.76.150 (talk) 09:42, 12 January 2023 (UTC) Have u researched Aleister Crowley yet ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.76.150 (talk) 09:47, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
