Well, there are multiple problems with the use of that image. First, anyone can photoshop and image and make it say what they want. Second, it's hosted on freewebs and can disappear at any time. Basically, because there is no way to satisfy WP:V, this infomation just cannot be included in the article at this time, until it is mentioned in a reliable third-party source or images of the manuscript are published... -999 (Talk) 16:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, other Wikis don't have as stringent verifiability requirements. You might want to add this information to The Free Encyclopedia of Thelema, for example. -999 (Talk) 17:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Then use Laycock as a reference, as that's a valid published third party source.  But if he doesn't mention the MS, then it can't be mentioned in the article... -999 (Talk) 17:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Great. Please understand this is not a personal issue, but due to what Wikipedia is, an encyclopedia, which by definition does not include original research, but rather summarizes verifiable published research. I'm sure you can find a good way to present this since Laycock mentions the page number... -999 (Talk) 17:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, it's clear you're not sure how to proceed or phrase it or something, so I've gone ahead and added as I think it should read. You could add the page number in Laycock if you have the paperback edition. I've only got the hardback (Askin?) but not here so I can't check it... -999 (Talk) 18:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is perfectly correct to adjust the details of the reference to match your copy... I just grabbed the latest from Amazon so as to have something. Techically, if several different editors are working from several different editions, they all have to be listed as references, which is a pain. :-(

By the way, it would be helpful if you would sign your comments with ~ rather than M7. It will expand to a link to your user page and the date... -999 (Talk) 20:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
