Exgovtanalyst 17:45, 3 May 2006 (UTC) Hi Jack, I had some difficulty in access where to respond back to your message to me and I hope I am doing this correct regarding your talk page. I apologize in advance if I screw up your page in anyway. In regards to your issues about "The Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (O.S.I.R.); I understand where you are coming from, however, I am at a loss why you insist that the O.S.I.R. does not exist. Firstly, you state that the various article and TV appearances came after the TV series, "PSI Factor" aired, which is NOT the case. The video tapes I have for programs such as "Sightings", "Unsolved Mysteries", "National Geographic Explorer", "Eye to Eye with Connie Chung" "NBC Network News" (and the list goes on and on) were all aired in 1990, 91, 92 and 93. "PSI Factor" did not air its first episode until 1996. I additionally do not see what's the difference anyway regarding what aired on TV first, since the fact remains that all these prominent news/informational TV programs featured a "real life" organization and not a fictitious one. The video tape I have for NBC network news even took their cameras behind-closed-doors and into the headquarter facilities, as well as on an actual scientific expedition with a scientific team. Secondly, while the various websites online do tend to get a bit dramatic regarding the potential conspiratorial nature of the group, the site you referred to: www.OSIR.info is NOT a product of "PSI Factor" at all, but rather the actual testimony and knowledge by an individual who claims to have actually gone through the partial training of the group and mentions no reference to "PSI Factor". In fact, most of the information and article I have found online about the "O.S.I.R.", with the exception of two, never mention the TV series. Thirdly, one of the operatives of the group, "Christopher Chacon", is not only a real life person, but has "real" credits on www.IMDB.com and has additionally appeared on countless interviews about the group he says employed him. He states that he was employed by the group "prior" to the existence of "PSI Factor" and therefore the O.S.I.R. is not a simple product of the series. Fourth, I had checked with the California Secretary of State Department and confirmed with them that a corporation by the name of "The Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (O.S.I.R.) was registered in their offices from 1990 through 2000. In light of all these facts, both TV and radio testimonials, Chacon's own interviews and the goverment corporate documents, I fail to understand why you insist the group does not exist. Just because a few conspiracy theorists and hardcore skeptics thought it would be fun to twist the facts and declare there is no group, WITHOUT CHECKING THEIR FACTS, and in light of the very real interviews taking place, does not mean the group is not real. Additionally, just because much of these TV and radio and interviews are not accessible online, also does not mean that the group is not real. In light of the hard facts and physical data, I think it would be irresponsible to state that the "existence of the group is questioned", when in-fact, it should be more like "some have questioned the existance of the group, in the face of actual facts that they exist". If you require me to mail to you video copies of the news and documentary prgrams I have on tape in order to prove to you that the group exists and were public BEFORE there was a "PSI Factor", I will happily do so. However, I feel with the facts all poitning to the existence of the group, that I should have the benefit-of-the-doubt and any question otherwise should have the burden of proof. In other words, if you can find absolute evidence that there is NO O.S.I.R., that there are NO real operatives named, Christopher Chacon, Alan henderson, etc, etc., and that all the countless TV and radio interviews (including the NBC Network News story) were nothing more then fictitous news stories, then I think the encyclopedia description of the group warrants your claims of uncertainty.

I will gladly tweek the "Criticisms" part of the O.S.I.R. page, but strongly feel the rest is as accurate as any other "REAL" oragnization, whether its The Rand Corporation, the C.I.A. or the O.S.I.R..

 * I couldn't help but notice that your revision of my article led to it being labelled as a "crazy hoax" and a speedy delete.
 * Need I say anymore?

Godzilla
There isn't anything to merge really, the only thing that isn't in the other one is the ==Trivia==. Feel free to add anything from here to the other article. Kotepho 20:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

When someone tries to go to Godzilla Tokyo SOS they automatically end up at Godzilla: Tokyo SOS now. They are pretty much effectively are one page. Is there a problem with this? Kotepho 20:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No its all cool.

Thanks

St Brides Major
Hi Jack! No worries over contacting me about something "minor" - and, in fact, we treat redirects and page moves as "major" things because its so easy for things to go wrong.

I've moved the page back and left the one with the apostrophe as a redirect. Hope this helps! If you'd like, you could do the good thing and visit the links on this page and correct them to point at the un-apostrophied article.

You might also like to put a note on the article's talk page and give a couple of links that show there's no need for an apostrophe. ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞ 21:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello. Before I carried out the move, I checked google and found there were more references to St Bride's Major than to St Brides Major.  I also found that all the existing cross-references in wikipedia except one were to St Bride's Major.  But the apostrophe wasn't the only thing I changed - article naming conventions approve the use of St without a full stop, not with. Deb 11:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on German invasion of birmingham, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  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.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mjroots (talk) 15:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
