About the new Kaula article
Hello IPSOS. I see you have started a Kaula article. I am in the process of preparing a somewhat complex article on User:Visarga/Kaula at this address (my private work area) User:Visarga/Kaula and I will add my edits as soon as I transform the rough research form into prose. I will try to incorporate both articles into one. I hope you will critically review my work as well. Visarga 05:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you back!
Hi IPSOS,

We've missed you! Welcome back. You missed some heavy blogging/editing action on the Shri Ram Chandra Mission and Sahaj Marg pages while you were gone. A "new" user, Rushmi, wanted to post excerpts from an article found defamatory by a trial court on the site (arguing that because it was in a newspaper, it must be good, despite what the court found). Guess who Rushmi is? See this. Because of the lack of reliable third-party sources, all of the articles above were deleted. I realize now I should have posted something to your page but hadn't seen you in a while so I forgot. Hope you had a good break.

Spirituality cat on EVP
What basically seems to have happened is that you took out the spirituality cat, without putting in a sub-cat of spirituality in which EVP might belong. I looked over the spirituality cat, and don't seen any sub-cats into which EVP fits. So I suggest that such an unusual subject just has to go directly in the spirituality cat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinphi (talk • contribs) 03:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't understand but I bow to your expertise in the matter (-: —— Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 03:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Spiritualism's a good idea also. The whole subject is almost impossible to define in traditional categories.  Thanks (: —— Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 05:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Your user name
You may not be willing to discuss changing your username (hence replying on my talk page instead of continuing a discussion in one place; and deleting reference from your own talk page) but it is a real issue. It isn't sufficient to say that the company Ipsos doesn't use all upper case. The word Ipsos is the word Ipsos whether it is spelt in all capitals IPSOS or a mixture of upper and lower case IpSoS. I have raised this issue at Requests_for_comment/User_names. You may wish to comment there. B1atv 16:10, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

category "Urantia Book"
Good to see the new category. I should point out that technically it should be "The Urantia Book", is there a way you can move the category to be that name? All the best. Wazronk 20:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * My interpretation of the category "Urantia Book" is that it's been created for topics in some way or another that have to do with the book by the title of "The Urantia Book". I wasn't pointing out a need for the article title to synch with the category title per se, it's just that that ISBN title of the book is "The Urantia Book". Like how the title of the Tolkien book is "The Hobbit" and so the category on wikipedia for topics having to do with that book is also titled "The Hobbit" (instead of "Hobbit").  Also, "Urantia Book" by itself isn't a proper noun since it isn't the actual title, the phrase would be "Urantia book"...  A more generic category would be along the lines of "Urantia movement" if that's what was intended. No biggie really, picayune stuff.  Thanks again for the categorization.  If you're not interested in changing it I might some day with the speedy route, I appreciate the suggestion, tho it doesn't rank high on things for me to do at the moment.

Religious prostitution
Hi! I was the one who added requests for citation to the content you removed. I find many new religion editors are unfamiliar with our sourcing policies and take some time to adjust to them, so my practice in religion articles has generally been to add citation request tags for unsourced content and give some time to supply sources rather than simply deleting it outright. I do have exceptions for attack-style content and the like. Usually the person adding the citation request is a different person from the one adding the content.
