Please stop attempting to add a link to the above article to Egyptian pyramids. Elkins was a paranormal researcher and ufologist. He has no relevance whatsoever to the subject of Egypt's pyramids. --Gene_poole (talk) 13:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Cydonia Mensae
Hi there Lyckey. Just to say that I've trimmed the images that you added to Cydonia Mensae. Several of them are repetitive of existing pictures, and all of them are not attributed properly, so may wind up being deleted. Anyway, I've kept the one of the so-called pyramid, since that illustrates a neighbouring feature to the Face. If you've any questions, just drop me a line. Cheers, --P LUMBAGO 22:33, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * P.S. I've just noticed that you've upgraded the attribution of some of the images. Good, but I'd still question the need for multiple images of essentially the same thing on the page.  Cheers, --P LUMBAGO  22:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there plumbago. Not the same thing. First image was taken by Viking and shows the face and pyramids together. The second image shows one small one large pyramid together (but not a clear one). THe one you left on the page, is the clear top view of the pyramid but the small pyramid is barely visible on this one. The last one was taken by mars global orbiter and was added to show that the area today looks the same as in the days Viking was wandering around. --Lyckey

D&M Pyramid
Hi again. Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough - the references I removed don't point to pages that reference the D&M Pyramid, at least not by name. That's why I removed them (actually, I commented them out; they're still there). Anyway, maybe you were referring to a subpage from the links. Can you maybe point the references to there instead? Cheers, --P LUMBAGO 19:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You're right in that two of the three references do not mention D&M pyramid by name. However, first one (the one currently being number 7) does so on the picture. The other two shows the images of the Cydonia taken by different spacecraft, without mentioning D&M pyramid by name. If they have to, as per some wikipedia rule, I don't have any objection to that--Logos5557 (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * very kind of you :).. this star is deserved by hans adler and dougweller more than me though.. Logos5557 (talk) 01:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. You may want to have a look at the Seth Material . . . it was under attack a short time ago for the same reasons as this article. It was revamped to add a criticism section to satisfy the skeptics and many sources were added. Good luck. NoVomit (talk) 12:25, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * well, thanks again.. I did have a look at the seth material several times and had been checking the heated discussions. However, I'm not so much into the other channellings and spiritual stuff other than the law of one series. I do not follow Carla Rueckert's other channelings also. In the past, I red plenty of stuff and after ra material, I believed there would not be any other "higher" information available for long time. I do also think that some/most spiritual stuff have negative influences. That's my point of view. In addition to that, I need to limit my time for wikipedia. Good luck to you anyway. Logos5557 (talk) 15:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree, I just meant that following the same overall format and approach may fend off the attackers a bit . . . it seemed to work with the other article at any rate. Cheers. NoVomit (talk) 16:29, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That's right; seth material seems as presenting good "know-how" and "how-to"s to satisfy criterias. However it seems anybody can claim anything (true or false) regarding the quality of the article from policies and guidelines perspective, without any penalty in case of false arguments. That is, the same format may not work for any other article. Logos5557 (talk) 21:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

POV in Ra
The word "band" is equally meaningless to the uninitiated and needs just as much or more explanation. Ra used the word density for a reason, because density was the most suitable word. When you change the words based on your personal opinion of what is understandable, you are inserting your own opinion and your own understanding about what the word means. This is a WP:NPOV issue. Instead of using arbitrary words that you personally selected for your own aesthetic reasons, we should use the words that are actually used by the source. Is Wikipedia a place for your own interpretation, or is it a place for neutral exposition of the cold facts? Would we change a word in some scientific field based on the personal taste of an editor? Would we refer to atoms as "slices" just because one editor thinks slices are closer to the concept that the scientists are actually trying to get to? The word "density" itself is shrouded in such mystery that for any one person to replace it with an arbitrary, unprecedented word, is the height of arrogance. If Ra meant "band" why didn't it say "band"? 70.67.115.63 (talk) 04:28, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * This is not a WP:POV issue. If you find a better word instead of band, not density of course, for the lead you can insert it. We don't have to use the actual/original words used by the source. If "slice" reflect some other aspect of the atom better, then go for it, use it together with other original words. Because you are simply trying to make it better understandable, you are not trying to alter the original definition or explanation completely but simply trying to enrich it. I'm sorry but you simply are making this Ra channeling and the communications received into a holy religion. You seem to be inclined to accept every single word said without any judgement, like a fundamentalist.
 * This sentence is simply your own personal point of view and can't be counted as neutral: "The word "density" itself is shrouded in such mystery that for any one person to replace it with an arbitrary, unprecendented word, is the height of arrogance." Remember that, Ra was making mistakes in some dates. What does it tell or ring to you that Ra can also make mistakes? Regarding density; as I mentioned several times before, the main body of the article does use the original word density, for the concept Ra used it for. However, for the lead, there is no need to stick to the original words, as we can use synonyms instead, if the original is problematic. If you read through the archives and previous deletion discussions, you will see that "density" was one of the most problematic words of the article. An editor took it as a pseudoscientific jargon. Will you always be around and "protect" the article against such attacks or just try to "push" your own interpretation (your own point of view) about the word "density" one time and vanish afterwards? Ask Ra why didn't it say "band"? And please stop inserting "density" in the lead instead of band. Logos5557 (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Changing the word from "Density" to "Band" is a significant interpretative leap. This is where the POV issue comes into play. Density is incomprehensible, I agree, but changing it to a comprehensible word changes the original work and misrepresents it (distorts it) in the direction of your particular interpretation. If a certain work is incomprehensible, the incomprehensibility should be documented. The work should not be altered to be comprehensible. Cover the incomprehensibility, don't interpolate. Interpolation cannot possible be a WP:NPOV. Why not put the word "density" in quotes and make a section that discusses the incomprehensibility of the word? That would be the honest approach. It seems you are reluctant to let the public edit this page, and you want to sit on it like a mother hen and protect it. This is unfortunate, since wikipedia is supposed to represent collective wisdom one man's best guess modification. You say I'm turning this into a Holy Religion, what makes Ra different from any other religion? In a wikipedia page covering the Bible one would not arbitrarily introduce new words to replace words that some people find incomprehensible. 70.67.115.63 (talk) 08:04, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * None of your arguments are valid. Wikipedia articles should be wirtten in a way as there remain no incomprehensibility or whatsoever. Aside from that, I don't agree with you on your interpretations regarding the word density and the Ra channeling. You are expecting the "whole world" to accept your interpretation without any question. On the other hand, I am trying to play with the rules of the playground, which is wikipedia. Wikipedia policies and guidelines say that, there is no need to stick to the original words and concepts and any jargon needs to be explained. For this reason, it is the most appropriate thing to leave the word "density" to the main body of the article and not use it in the lead, in order to save the necessity to explain it. Wikipedia is not democracy, wikipedia aims to represent collective notable knowledge (not collective wisdom), but not the "wisdom" of a spoilt child, who insists on without seeking for any consensus. Your very first argument that "band" was not used a single time in any of the books, so is completely unsuitable to be used in the article, conflicts with wikipedia policies and guidelines. I'm indeed reluctant to let any fundamentalist, who sees Ra channeling as a kind of religion, to edit the article about Ra. If you have a better idea, better word instead of "band" (not density, of course) to use in the lead, then you're welcome. Otherwise, I will simply revert your insertions of "density", which you make without seeking any consensus. Logos5557 (talk) 08:43, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-free images in userspace
Please note that it is Wikipedia policy that non-free images cannot be used outside articles - see WP:NFCC. Therefore, I have removed the non-free images from your user page and the article you are building in userspace. Please do not re-insert them. Black Kite 09:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Please note that if you continue to re-insert non-free images into pages in userspace then you will be blocked from editing. The two images that were removed from User:Logos5557/Ra (channeled entity) are both non-free images. Black Kite 11:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * you can just remove the image, not the image box completely. you can only delete non-free images which are not associated with any mainspace article. if you are not qualified to delete an image from wikipedia, ask an admin to do it for you. Logos5557 (talk) 11:21, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have worked mostly with images in the two years I've been an admin. You'll find you can delete any image, regardless of whether it is associated with an article, if it fails our media policies. In the case of userspace non-free images, I usually do delete the images, but in this case, since the article was at MfD, I wished only to remove their current presence.  The neatest way of doing this was to remove the image box, after all it is redundant without the image. Black Kite 11:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Calling another editor a vandal

FYI conflict of interest guideline
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * See also: User page
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. — Athaenara ✉  19:00, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


 * this is a borderline case and needs "common sense". just fyi, i am not connected with any organisation, nor I promoted any book. i just have a POV, like any other user. the article i created and edited heavily was well sourced with secondary sources. the other users disagreed and the article was deleted. i guess conflict of interest can not be decided over the use of some images & quotes. thanks anyway..

Per WP:USER and WP:SOAP, I have removed your soaboxing/advertising comments. You are not allowed to have such comments on your userpage. Your userpage is for relaying to other users about your edits with wikipedia, is not is not some place to grandstand about the subject of your deleted article. Do not re-add them, you have been warned.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  00:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * If you can't justify your removal by explaining how those quotes can be soapboxing or advertising, I will simply revert your edit. In addition to that, are you in a position to give me warning or something? Logos5557 (talk) 07:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Any user on wikipedia can warn any other user, as to the userpage, it is clearly soaboxing your POV in regards to your soon-to-be-deleted article, and this is not allowed. You can say you believe in whatever god you want, but you can't include the quasi-article you had there, the quotes and everything.  The userpage is supposed to describe you as a wikipedian, and how things relate to you and wikipedia, in and of improving the encyclopedia.  This is not facebook, this is not a blog, nor are you allowed to keep articles or interviews in your userpage.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  07:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I need to see that warning issue recorded somewhere, because it is also written somewhere that "be careful about your wording". Deletion of logos5557/ra (channeled entity) is fine. How can you judge that the quotes in my userpage constitute some sort of quasi-article? The headings and wikilinks can easily be removed. There is even no mention of what these quotes are; no mention of the name of the book, etc. It is quite possible that some may perceive those as fiction. I am not convinced yet. Logos5557 (talk) 07:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a free webhost. Wikipedia is not some place where you can post real or fictional interviews, be they current affairs or past.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  08:14, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * From WP:UP, 2, 7, 8 apply.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  08:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I had asked for the link to "Any user on wikipedia can warn any other user" statement, which you presented as fact. I am not hosting any material in my userpage. Those quotes are implicit material, which describe my POV and describe me as a wikipedian in a subtle manner. User_page states "You do have more latitude in user space than elsewhere." Thanks for clarifying which clauses apply, but those statements are quite general as to their relations to the material in my userpage. Clause 2: Are those quotes any discussion between any users or my discussions in some subjects? No. Discussion is what we do here. Clause 7: For a material to self-promote itself, it needs to include the "full adress", that is the name of the book, organization etc. If the quotes were from, let's say, Bible, would you claim the same again? Clause 8: userpages are non-enyclopedic already. I guess what this clause describes is not what you perceive. Take agent smith quote in your userpage as an example. Logos5557 (talk) 09:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Clause two does not mention users, it mentions discussion, which this quite clearly is. It is extensive, and has nothing to do with wikipedia, or would you like to describe how it has anything to do with wikipedia.  As to the warnings, I can't think of the place off the top of my head that says it, but ask any admin, and they shall tell you that you don't have to be an admin to warn users.  If that was the case, applications like twinkle wouldn't exist.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  09:34, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle is not a good example here, because it's purpose and function are completely different. The one who are giving the warnings here, is you. The one who does not know the exact place where "warnings" issue is mentioned, is you. The one who tries to justify his action by simply referring to a completely irrelevant tool, is you. I think you should be the one to look for an expert opinion. Even I believe a user can warn another user in extreme cases, or in pretty clear situations which may include personal attack, I don't know where this is mentioned. Because of that, I believe a user should refrain from such actions that can not be justified clearly by the policies, guidelines and rules. The quotes are clearly not discussions. You might call those quotes "conversations" at most, which is also not so correct because those are just quotes from conversations. The quotes are not extensive and have a lot to do with wikipedia and myself; as I mentioned in my previous reply, those quotes describe my beliefs, my POV and the type of articles which I will tend to work on. You should separate "my soon-to-be-deleted article" from this case. Logos5557 (talk) 10:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Any appropriate warning can be given by any user. Dougweller (talk) 11:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * would you mind giving the wikipedia policy/rule link stating this? Logos5557 (talk) 13:24, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This is straining my credibility - don't you think as an Administrator I know who can do this? Our guidelines on civility, for instance, say "As with other Wikipedia policies, enforcement of most policies is done by community action. Most enforcement is done by pointing out issues and talking about them, sometimes by formal warnings of some sort. If further action is required, such as a block of an account for ongoing problematic behavior, Wikipedia's volunteer administrators have to take that step. Anyone is empowered to get involved. Most enforcement is done by more experienced editors or the administrators, but anyone who sees abusive uncivil conduct or personal attacks may get involved.". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 14:24, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * why do you take link request as straining your credibility. don't you think that, my aim could very well be to learn the exact location, to refer to in future for similar cases. now I can find the link by searching with the statements you provided. Logos5557 (talk) 14:58, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Now you're evading.  Please explicitly describe how a conversation with your god has anything to do with wikipedia.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  21:18, 3 September 2009 (UTC)


 * the link is here Civility_warnings. To daedelus: And you're leaning towards sarcasm; whether they exist or not, ra entities are not my god, there is no god to worship in this philosophy. I assume you had read the conversations I'm talking about; a conversation between "questioner" and "ra" is some sort of socratic dialogue and serves the purpose of implicitly describing me as a wikipedian, my beliefs, my POV and the type of articles I would tend to work on. Logos5557 (talk) 10:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Please stop evading, and answer the question. Please explicitly, describe how it has anything to do with you being a wikipedian and wikipedia.  As far as I can see, a conversation about types of bigfoot/creatures has nothing to do with wikipedia, and everything to do with your belief system.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  20:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * i explained already explicitly, but it is clear that you have not understood it yet. nor it seems you have any will to do so. for a neutral-civil discussion you have to choose your words carefully. you need to drop that tone and stop using some words like "evade", "answer the question" etc. Logos5557 (talk) 22:05, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No you didn't. You made sweeping statements that did not specifically explain how each question had anything to do with wikipedia.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  22:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * yes i did. read my statements again; those are not sweeping. my statements specifically adressed what you were looking for; the relation of the quotes in my userpage, with me as a wikipedian. dialogues on history of mankind, free will, ufos, bigfoots etc. tell the reader that the user will work in such articles. instead of stating my interests in brief like many other users, i prefer stating my interests implicitly by some sort of socratic dialogues. plain simple.

You have now reverted the same material on Global Consciousness Project 4 times in the last day. I understand that you feel your edits are appropriate however they run counter to the established consensus of other editors. I suggest you might want to review WP:3RR and contribute constructively on the associated talk page. Thank you and have a nice day. Simonm223 (talk) 19:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Civility
Please do not insinuate that another editor is sub-human or instruct them to leave an open discussion, as you did in this edit. You may be blocked for further violations of No personal attacks. - 2/0 (cont.) 20:42, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * it was not as extreme as you described, but i had to reply that way to the person who were not checking the thread but just accusing me of using bad etiquette, not to mention accompanying incivil tone ("again", "take your complaints elsewhere" etc.). even if it causes me a block, i can not take myself from revealing the fact to such attackers. otherwise, they might make habit of it. Logos5557 (talk) 21:57, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I understand how frustrating it can be to defend your opinion especially against multiple editors who disagree but your conduct on the Global Consciousness Project especially some of your recent comments on the discussion page have been less than helpful and may violate wp:civil. I would ask that you keep in mind that we are all here to try to make the best encyclopedia we can. And I ask that you help me to maintain a civil discussion in an effort to improve the article. thank you. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 20:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Contrary to your "observation", I do not see the situation as frustrating; because I do not need to have some bike rides, and to blow some steams off. I am not emotional on this dispute and am about to search for the definite solution. I can't give up pursuing the fact. Nobody has a right to distort the facts. I guess you're a bit new in wikipedia; you need to form a new heading while leaving your civility issues. Logos5557 (talk) 21:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

AfD of Aftermarket (automotive)
I see that you've added a transclusion to Articles for deletion/Log/2012 April 21 for Aftermarket (automotive). However, this is only part of the instructions for nominating an article for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Khonsu as falcon flipped.png


A tag has been placed on File:Khonsu as falcon flipped.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

It's Crazy That You're Still Trying
How is it possible that so many Wikipedia deletionists can be so ignorant of wikipedia policy? The policy is quite specific and written in clear English. It lays out precisely what counts as notable, what counts as a reliable source, etc. Yet even the admins don't know these definitions! They delete stuff based on policies they absolutely don't understand and couldn't have possibly read! It's astonishing. Here's what I think: Wikipedia is a proof of concept that pop culture creations are inferior. It's a proof that just letting any amateur swing at something produces absolute irrational and hilariously absurd trash. Wikipedia proves that experts are neccessary and valuable; it proves that amateurs are useless and should be disempowered and silenced. Wikipedia provides justification for elitism. Any kind of democratic populism is debunked by the historical facticity of Wikipedia. What do you think? Yossarianpedia (talk) 19:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

June 2014
Please do not add or change content, as you did to The Law of One (Ra material), without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Adding sources that do not comply with WP:FRIND is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines. jps (talk) 23:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Look, you do not have any idea about the sources you tagged as "unreliable" and "affiliated". Institute of Noetic Sciences and Gnosis are reliable and independent sources. Please refrain from disruptive editing. Logos5557 (talk) 00:01, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually have a lot of familiarity with both of those groups. They are credulous pseudoscience-promoters and do not rise to the standard set-forth by WP:FRIND. I will be removing them as unreliable in the next few days if they aren't removed by someone else. jps (talk) 01:55, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * No, you do not have any familiarity with those, you just have a biased opinion (and a track record towards such topics), which you try your best to sell here as "policy" at best, or "guideline", "consensus" and "common sense" at worst. It is quite obvious from the "credulous pseudoscience-promoters" definition of yours.
 * I would recommend you to get yourself familiarize with, which one is superior to which here. Policies are superior to guidelines; while WP:VERIFY is a policy, all WP:NBOOK, WP:FRINGE and your favorite WP:FRIND are guidelines. These guidelines are "sets of best practices that are supported by consensus". While "editors should attempt to follow guidelines", "they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply". That is, while editors "should follow" policies (like WP:VERIFY), they should at best "attempt to follow" guidelines (like WP:FRINGE). Which means WP:FRINGE can never have a power that WP:VERIFY has and can not contradict other guidelines like WP:NBOOK and WP:BIASED. Apart from that, WP:FRINGE deals with a spefic case named as "fringe theories", not "fringe books" or "paranormal books", because there is already a "guideline" for books -whether the book is fringe or not-, which is WP:NBOOK.
 * We can not discard a source just because it was published by IONS, but what is the relation of the source you have been trying to delete repeatedly from the article, with IONS anyway? The bibliographic info of the book reads as follows:
 * Title = With the tongues of men and angels: a study of channeling (Henry Rolfs book series of the Institute of Noetic Sciences)
 * Author = Arthur Hastings
 * Publisher = Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1991
 * Original from = the University of Michigan
 * Digitized = 3 Oct 2008
 * Length = 232 pages
 * I am opening a new heading in article talk page regarding all these misunderstandings/misinterpretations/misrepresentations, feel free to join the discussion. If you do not refrain from disruptive editing, for which you seem not able to present valid arguments, there may be consequences. You have quite a bit of reputation as "Science Apologist" in incivility. There are many lessons for the ones who has time to use the search feature. Logos5557 (talk) 00:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

WP:COPYVIO
Your user page contains large sections of The Law of One taken from the books published by L/L Research. Unless you are one of the copyright holders, or have their permission to reproduce the material, it's best you remove it. You may not be aware that userspace content is covered under the same copyright violation policies as article space. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:10, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Nope; completely false, on all sides.. Firstly my userpage do not contain "large sections" of the law of one; only contains selected 32 "segments" (question-answer couples) out of hundreds of segments which constitute the whole law of one (there are 106 sessions, each session contains 10 to 40 segments). This falls under "short quote" definition of copyright violation policies.
 * Secondly, WP:Copyvio states that "copying material without the permission of the copyright holder from sources that are not public domain or compatibly licensed (unless it's a brief quotation used in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and guideline) is likely to be a copyright violation". The law of one books/sessions are on public domain, both in http://www.lawofone.info/ (as permitted by copyright holders) and in pdf format from llresearch website (which is the link you provided already).
 * Nevertheless, I will add "The Law of One books are copyright ©1982, 1984, 1998 L/L Research" phrase in each short quote in my userpage. Logos5557 (talk) 02:07, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The amount of text you've copy-pasted is quite large and I don't think anyone will agree that those are short quotes. Can you provide a link from the copyright holder that clearly states the material is in the public domain? The copyright holders notice is quite explicit: "Book I: Copyright © 1984 James Allen McCarty, Don Elkins and Carla Rueckert; ISBN: 0-945007-01-9 Book II: Copyright © 1982 L/L Research; ISBN: 0-945007-02-7 Book III: Copyright © 1982 L/L Research; ISBN: 0-945007-03-5, Book IV: Copyright © 1982 L/L Research; ISBN: 0-945007-04-3, Book V: Copyright © 1998 L/L Research; ISBN: 0-924608-21-8. All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means—graphic, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying or information storage and retrieval systems—without written permission from the copyright holder." - LuckyLouie (talk) 02:31, 28 June 2014 (UTC)


 * It is your relativistic view. Anybody can judge anyway, that's why we have policy and logic. Policy WP:Copyvio and guideline copyright violation policies, do not mention any maximum word count, therefore logic comes in. Out of hundreds of segments, 32 segments do not count as "large", but count as "short quote" and "brief quotations". Now, each short quote has been properly credited to the copyright holders. Logos5557 (talk) 08:41, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Logos5557, User:LuckyLouie asked me to look into this as I do a lot of work with copyright on Wikipedia, and I agree with him that your use of non-free content is excessive. One of your quotes is by itself 974 words, and I would remove it as an administrator without hesitation were it included in an article as violating WP:C and WP:NFC. It isn't the only long quotation you have. I'd like to ask you to remove these yourself, retaining no more than a few sentences from the source; otherwise, I will need to blank the page for processing via WP:CP. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:48, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Doing a lot of work with copyright on wikipedia does not make you the sole copyright expert in wikipedia. Clause C of WP:C mentions a "fair use", which describes the quotations I included in my userpage from the law of one books. "Fair use" has also been explained in WP:COPYOTHERS and in here. In addition to these, you just revealed that you are not impartial/neutral/objective/fair on this matter, by asking me only to remove the content. You could have asked me to bring/present written permission of the copyright holder as per WP:COPYVIO, but instead you displayed/demonstrated your intent/desire to delete the quotations directly as if there is a rush and deleting is the only solution. In this case, since you revealed your biases, it would not be so right for you to participate in this conflict with your admin powers. Therefore, I must ask you to exclude yourself and withhold your admin powers from resolution process of this conflict. I would like to ask some other admins's and some experienced users's comments/opinions on this matter, if they would like to respond:, , , , , . If there are other admins that you believe they would act neutrally, please feel free to suggest. Logos5557 (talk) 10:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

The page is now listed at WP:CP. If you are able to verify permission, that will certainly resolve the issue more swiftly. The template that I am required to give you will explain the processes. In the meantime, please do not restore the content. It will be restored by an admin or copyright clerk after the listing period or perhaps sooner if proper license is provided for the content. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This is the reply I got from llresearch (non-profit organisation formed by the copyright holders/owners):
 * "Hi Logos5557,
 * Thanks so much for the quick and thorough reply. I will fulfill your request and send the necessary documentation to the wiki admins. It will have to wait till Monday though - busy weekend here in the States.
 * Gary"
 * Logos5557 (talk) 23:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. As soon as this is received and processed, the content should be restored and the license release logged. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:54, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, that works well. As long as the sole copyright owner is not the one placing the content on Wikipedia, single license works. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, it seems that the wording of copyright permission request and the copyrights to be granted are a bit frightening. It is new to me that, wikipedia has been being sold in print or in digital forms in stores. llresearch's comment towards those copyrights was:


 * "I read the remainder of your email, including the copied portions that explain Wikipedia’s policy regarding why they frame the permission in these terms. It seems that anyone can use the content published to Wikipedia, even for commercial means, so therefore to give someone permission to publish content to Wikipedia means you also have to grant permission to whomever may take the content from Wikipedia."


 * It seems that for llresearch to grant such copyrights/authorization, could, potentially, lead to trouble with the company who owns the publishing rights to the Law of One.


 * I guess the wording of the copyright permission can not be amended? If this is the case, what should be the maximum word count in order not to exceed "fair use" limit? I mean, is there a percentage or something similar to gauge? Logos5557 (talk) 22:52, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry that this alarmed him. :( There's not, I'm afraid, any way we can modify the permission - our terms of use require compatibility with this license. There is not a percentage, unfortunately, although proportion does factor in - it's just a more complex determination than that. In terms of local policy, it's a question of using brief excerpts transformatively (that is, for purposes of criticism or other enlargement to justify fair use). On user pages, we traditionally do allow people to use brief excerpts just for personalization (which is more liberal than fair use images, which aren't permitted on user pages at all), but these are generally a few sentences from any single source. Your Einstein, Sagan and Young quotes are perfectly fine, for instance. Tesla is a bit lengthy, but if somebody listed that at WP:CP, I wouldn't fuss over it myself. (I can't speak for others who volunteer there). The quotes from this particular source are all long enough individually to make me uncomfortable, lacking transformative purpose, as regards WP:NFC. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:27, 10 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess they misunderstood; they might have thought that by granting copyrights for the excerpts in my userpage, wikipedia might/would have the right to use other parts of the law of one books commercially. Anyway, I tried to explain but did not insist on. Tesla? Don't you think that those have already been on the public domain? What do you think about Greg L's userpage? If there is no gauge or percentage, what's the use of counting the words then? In your above message you stated that one of the excerpts is by itself 974 words. I checked both fair use and transformative purpose. It seems that, there has been no any argument until now that the excerpts from the law of one books in my userpage can not be regarded as transformative and fair use. You just mentioned the lengthiness and asked me to remove the content. I wonder what will be your action about Greg L userpage.


 * I downloaded all the law of one books from here, converted & combined into one word document. All of the law of one books are 950 pages and 353.000 words in total.
 * The excerpt from session 37 that I titled as "free will" is 293 words.
 * The excerpt from session 97 and session 76 that I titled as "archetypical mind" is 953 words.
 * The excerpt from session 24 and session 10 that I titled as "mu & atlantis" is 757 words.
 * The excerpt from session 8 that I titled as "ufo" is 974 words.
 * The excerpt from session 9 that I titled as "mars" is 590 words.
 * The excerpt from session 10 that I titled as "maldek" is 917 words.
 * Which makes 4.484 words in total. 4.484 is just 1,27% of 353.000. In addition to that, all of these can be regarded as "transformative" use, because these excerpts are not complete sessions but only parts of them, and transformed into something different by presenting under a title. Could you please explain how these excerpts lack any "transformative purpose" and "fair use". What about reducing the amount of the excerpts? Thank you. Logos5557 (talk) 14:03, 10 July 2014 (UTC)


 * You asked about the length of quotes, Logos5557. My response was related to your question about maximum word count. There is not a maximum word count. There is not a specific percentage. Off the top of my head, I know of one copyright case where quotes from a 500 page book totaling about 1.5% were determined to be a copyvio - but it wasn't because of the percentage, it was because of the importance of the content within the original. Substantiality is one of the factors of fair use, but it is a subjective call based on the centrality and importance of the content, not the size. My notes about your other quotes was specifically related to your question about length. It had nothing to do with whether that specific quote is in copyright or not - simply explaining what our standard practice is on Wikipdia. Hopefully that's clear now.


 * Our policy (which is what you need to conform to - we don't test the limits of fair use, but deliberately stay well within them) permits articles and other pages to use brief verbatim textual excerpts in accordance with the guideline; the guideline prohibits extensive quotation and makes clear that quotations are used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. These are transformative usages. Using excerpts is not in itself transformative - you can see Transformation (law) for a little more on what is usually regarded as transformative. As a rule of thumb, you can use more text if you are, say, critiquing it than you can because you just happen to like it and want to share it. You may not need licensing permission, for instance, to quote a passage from a book in a critical essay about said book. You do need licensing permission to quote two lines of a song on a coffee cup. You might be able to quote more in an article about the source if it that quote is supported by critical commentary than simply excerpting on your user page. As User pages notes, "Text must either be freely licensed or out of copyright; otherwise only a short quote can be used."


 * Reducing the amount of the excerpts to a few sentences, a short quote, would certainly resolve the issue. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:25, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

The problem is, you do not seem to have the expertise/experience -about the law of one books- to determine/evaluate the relative importance of the content I excerpted in my userpage, compared to the rest in the law of one books. There are many many important parts -some even more important than these- in the law of one books. As a remedy, you just prefer to act over cautious like a deletionist. I'm afraid, guidelines are not strong references to conform to, because, as stated here, guidelines "should be attempted to follow", not "compulsory rules to be followed" as policies. It is quite obvious from the wording as well; "short quote" stated in User pages is a vague definition.

Anyway. I had carefully studied Transformation (law) already. In order to transform these excerpts more, I will add an explanatory comment before each; that is the dialogues will be clarified more, what does ra mean by saying this & that etc., according to my interpretation. And in order to relieve some fuss (because you and I both know that nobody will sue wikipedia over these excerpts), I am going to remove "mars", "maldek", and first parts of "archetypical mind" and "mu & atlantis" excerpts. So, there will be only "ufo" excerpt left which might be seen as "long", but again it also will have an explanatory intro. As the main restructuring, I am going to separate quotes and excerpts from the law of one books, into two main sections titled as "words of wisdom" and "channeled wisdom". I will also add some links and comments about channeling. In future, I might include some additional very short (shorther than the shortest one of these excerpts) excerpts from the law of one books about bodies, again with a commentary and a title. What say you? Logos5557 (talk) 21:39, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * User:Logos5557, WP:NFCC is not a guideline, but a policy with legal considerations, and it says "Articles and other Wikipedia pages may, in accordance with the guideline, use brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media, properly attributed or cited to its original source or author, and specifically indicated as direct quotations via quotation marks,, or a similar method." The WP:NFC guideline is incorporated into policy explicitly by reference, and it forbids extensive quotation. Beyond that, guidelines are not overridden unless there is a reason that aids in the creation of the encyclopedia, our purpose for being here It's unfortunate that there's not a word count or a percentage that can help people assess where that line is, but I believe that the amount of quotation you would leave with your proposal exceeds it. In my assessment as an adminstrator, the "free will" section is potentially too long in itself, although supporting material might make a difference in that assessment in an article. The second section of "archetypal mind" by itself is excessive as is the second section of "mu & atlantis". I'm afraid that the UFO section is beyond what I believe we can support. However, based on your initial request, I will leave the listing at WP:CP for another administrator to close. If you want to demonstrate what you have in mind, I would recommend making use of the temporary space linked from the template for that administrator to assess. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:41, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, according to my interpretation "brief" provides more latitude than "short". All excerpts in my userpage have been properly attributed or cited to their original source/author, and specificially indicated as direct quotations via quotation marks. Your comment about the lengths is restrictive in that, it basically means that "if the point you would like to illustrate, needs seemingly long excerpts, then you better not do it". How can I shorten a dialogue on a subject, without removing some of the words or sentences from questions and answers? If I remove, then it becomes a distorted excerpt, which also means to violate the copyright law. Ok, I will leave a note on WP:CP listing to the closing admin that, I have been working on it on temporary space. Logos5557 (talk) 16:39, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
