User talk:Jpierreg

Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules. If you want to learn more, Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy: Help FAQ Glossary Manual of Style Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 20:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

 * User InShanee has in fact reverted back 3 times from the following fairer introduction:


 * Scientology is a system of beliefs and practices created by American writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 as a self-help philosophy. L. Ron Hubbard is mainly regarded by many of his critics as a pulp fiction author.

Uploading pics
The 'insert image' button will work if the pic has already been uploaded to Wikipedia, but if it hasn't, then you can upload a new picture yourself here (also accesible through the "Upload file" link in the toolbox to the left). You need to be fairly careful about assigning a license to the picture and not uploading copyvio images, but all of that is detailed at the main upload screen. - Draeco 03:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Good edits at Doctrine of Exchange
Good work at Doctrine of Exchange -- the material you added was well-referenced and added to an NPOV presentation of the subject. I did notice, though, that the quote seems to be missing a word? It starts "Whoever wants receive ..." instead of "Whoever wants to receive", so I suspected a typo. (I'd look it up myself, but my copy of Fundamentals is buried somewhere in my bookpile, who knows how far down...) You might also want to add a page number to the reference, to help people find if they want to look into that quote. -- Antaeus Feldspar 14:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I know it from memory. I'll check for the page. Do you have a hardback or softback ? Jpierreg 15:20, 22 September 2006 (GMT)


 * Paperback, actually. It's also a much later edition than the 1965 version in your reference, so the page number almost certainly wouldn't be the same. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I couldn't find it. I have erased it from the page since it's only fair till I find it againJpierreg 19:00, 22 September 2006 (GMT)


 * Well, if you think that's best, then we can hold off until we know we have the reference solid. Perhaps this weekend I'll dig and see if I can find my paperback after all and look for that quote. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Scientology link to expertises
There is already a link on the Scientology page (currently footnote #48) to bonafides which is IMO a better link than experts as everything is in HTML, not PDF.

Unfortunately the two lists of expertises are not the same, the bonafide one is shorter but includes a new paper by Wilson. My impression is that they've omitted the more controversial ones that attack apostates (Kliever) or hint at secrets (Sivertsev).

So far as I know the only critique of these papers is my own: reviews Though I'm not supposed to link to my own pages!

So link to both? Either? Add a link to the critique?

--Hartley Patterson 12:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Clarifications:
 * is a book from the Church of Scientology
 * reviews is a personal web page with personal opinion(s). Jpierreg 15:52, 29 October 2006 (GMT)
 * true, and so not really appropriate. --Hartley Patterson 09:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Scientology "doctrine"
I'd like to hear your two cents on the talk page discussions about renaming Space opera in Scientology doctrine and Supernatural abilities in Scientology doctrine. The anti-Scientologist bias on these pages includes literally everything Hubbard ever said, even offhand remarks in 1950s lectures, and treats them as official Church of Scientology doctrine - which just isn't true. Highfructosecornsyrup 05:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'll be happy to help and give my opinion on this matter. Just first feel free to drop me an email so I can introduce myself and you could do the same. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jpierreg  12:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Sock question about you
You may want to address this User talk:Wikipediatrix --Justanother 23:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure! I actually like talking to myself sometimes on my discussion page as per above. Thank you for letting me know anyhow there was mention of my user account - Jpierreg 08:11, 9 December 2006 (GMT)

Hmm?
I'm confused about your message on my page. what was that about? Johnpedia 21:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That was just to raise your awareness with some history of what had happened before -- Jpierreg 15:45, 4 January 2007 (GMT)

hahahahahahahhaa right, ok, that's really great, that was a waste of my time, thanks. i don't get "oh my.."ed by something as lame as that. and how many non-scientologists have been banned? scary! wise up old man.Johnpedia 18:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Highfructosecornsyrup (Wikipediatrix who then took a different stance towards Scn WP articles for some time) is the only non-scientologist user account that was blocked that I know of. Otherwise there was also User:Olberon but on the Swedish Wikipedia apparently (see ).  Jpierreg 07:25, 5 January 2007 (GMT)

WikiProject updates

 * I have done some updating to the WP:SCN, added some new articles, added a "to do" list to the top of the project, and fixed up some categories and assessment stuff. I suggest we should all pick one article at a time, or at most two, to work on bringing up to Featured Article status.  You could give input on the project's talk page...

Any editor who is subject to remedies in this proceeding, or who wishes to edit from an open proxy, is restricted to a single current or future account to edit Scientology-related topics and may not contribute to the topic as anonymous IP editors. Editors topic banned by remedies in this proceeding are prohibited (i) from editing articles related to Scientology or Scientologists, broadly defined, as well as the respective article talk pages and (ii) from participating in any Wikipedia process relating to those articles. Editors topic banned above may apply to have the topic ban lifted after demonstrating their commitment to the goals of Wikipedia and their ability to work constructively with other editors. Applications will be considered no earlier than six months after the close of this case, and additional reviews will be done no more frequently than every six months thereafter.

Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, ban any editor from editing within the Scientology topic. Prior to topic banning the editor, the administrator will leave a message on the editor's talk page, linking to this paragraph, warning the editor that a topic ban is contemplated and outlining the behaviours for which it is contemplated. If the editor fails to heed the warning, the editor may be topic banned, initially, for three months, then with additional topic bans increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. Any editor who, in the judgment of an uninvolved administrator, is (i) focused primarily on Scientology or Scientologists and (ii) clearly engaged in promoting an identifiable agenda may be topic-banned for up to one year.

All IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates, broadly interpreted, are to be blocked as if they were open proxies. Any current or future editor who, after this decision is announced, makes substantial edits to any Scientology-related articles or discussions on any page is directed to edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account, unless the user has previously sought and obtained permission from the Arbitration Committee to operate a legitimate second account. They shall edit in accordance to Wikipedia policies and refrain from advocacy, to disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page, and not through a proxy configuration.
