List of Thelemites
Bennett was never a Thelemite. He was a Golden Dawn member and Crowley's mentor. He never professed to follow Thelema: He went to India, and became a Buddhist. Crowley tried to convert him to Thelema during a visit to India, but was rebuffed. Bennett had renounced western magick. Would you want to be called a member of a religion you never joined after you die? -999 05:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

As for Kellner, Thelema is not the same as OTO and vice-versa. Kellner was never really even a founder of OTO, but simply an associate of Reuss' who he found it convenient to make part of the order's mythology. Thelema had not come into it at all at that time. You have to understand that Crowley made claims that various dead people were Thelemites. However, unless they themselves professed Thelema, they should not be on List of Thelemites, IMO. -999 05:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, no. Bennett left for Asia in 1900 and not only became a Buddhist but had founded the World Buddhist Society by 1903, before Crowley received the Book of the Law. Crowley tried but fail to convert him later during a visit to India. (Crowley wrote that he was a traitor to the West because of this, or some such rubbish.) You may be thinking of Frank Bennett, the Australian that Crowley wrote Liber Samekh for... -999 05:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

How do you want this?
Do you want me to remove the guys I put on the British blues page from the blues guitarists page? Clay4president 17:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I would say anyone in Category:British blues musicians who is best/only known as a guitarist should be moved to Category:British blues guitarists. More to the point, no one should be listed in both categries; just one or the other.  That said, I'm not entirely clear on what you're referring to when you say "the British blues page," so if that's not Category:British blues musicians, I'd appreciate it if you could provide a link.  --Geoff Capp 12:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have added several guitarists to British Blues Guitarists. I went through all the blues guitarists. Clay4president 03:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thelema Category
Thanks for letting me know. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how that happened. Must have been a mistake I made when I first starting editing. Thanks again. Regards. SynergeticMaggot 03:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Cistercians Abbey in Wąchock
There is no fixed length for a stub (see | this ). When I removed the templates I was going through a number of Polish Churches changing Poland-struct-stub to Poland-church-stub. When I am doing this I normally remove templates if the articles are much longer than others in the same area, I amguessing that most of the articles in that group where 1 small section and this one stood out as being longer. If you think the templates need readding I have no problem with that, it may be an idea though to have Poland-church-stub instead of the struct-stub and not have geo-stub as these are generally not used on buildings.

Trial of the Knights Templar
The research that I did was properly sited and if you have checked the source I gave you would find every word I cited. You would also find it includes some of the greatest historians who ever lived. Also the book is NOT IN COPYRIGHT. It is available on the Internet Archives.Mugginsx (talk) 09:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Rewording in same article as to the paragraph on the Chinon document
It is a contradiction of terms to state that the Pope did not believe the Templars were guilty and at the same time he "absolved" them. To absolve in the Catholic Church means to "forgive" the sin, not that the sin was never committed. Since virtually everyone was Catholic at the time, everyone knew the meaning of "absolution" in the Middle Ages.Mugginsx (talk) 10:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hallelujah (Deep Purple song)


The article Hallelujah (Deep Purple song) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Apparently non-notable song. No claim to notability, doesn't appear to have charted, only a single source.

Disambiguation link notification for February 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Matthew Barney, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vitrine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:05, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * FTR, Vitrine is a hard redirect to Showcase, not a DAB. I think part of the problem is that the Showcase page can't quite make up its mind whether to be a DAB or a WP:DICTDEF.  Nonetheless, it appears to me to be the right link for the use in question.  --Geoff Capp (talk) 00:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

RE: Jack Parsons (rocket engineer)
Hi Geoff, thanks again for your improvement to Parsons' article. Myself and User:Midnightblueowl have been working for a while in an effort to get the article featured after attaining GA status. You evidently have a degree of knowledge in the subject of Thelema and occult biographies so it would certainly be appreciated if you were to provide further input and improvements.

Humphrey Mackworth article
Thanks for your comments. I see your point too. It's just a holding revision at the moment. The underlying problem here is that Mackworth senior is much more important than his relative obscurity suggests - the victim really of being a considerable Parliamentarian and revolutionary in a county that has always been pretty conservative and royalist. This means that only a few historians with a real interest in the other side (Johnstone, Gaunt, Coulton) have given him his due. I took on the job without realising just how well he typifies the conflicts and issues of the period and consequently had to keep restructuring the coverage as I went along. There is actually a lot more in the State Papers, as he was apparently omnicompetent. The ecclesiastical material was originally one large chunk and read better, with the references supporting it more closely. I'll give it a more thorough revision one my next visit. I'm hoping to put together a family tree for the Mackworths soon but was hoping to give Thomas a bit of attention before going back to his dad in detail. I'm also hoping to reduce some of the circumstantial material by improving other linked articles, e.g. on Chidley, Blake and other Puritan clergy and activists.
