[edit] Paraphysics article in danger
there is currently a big discussion going on at the paraphysics sections wether its going to be deleted or not. if this article is to be deleted, it would be a shame, and a great loss to paranormal, occult and spiritual research. i suggest, and hope, that you vote for its continuing. and maybe even write a few sentences about the subject if you know about it, as it is currently very messy, and not much has been written about it yet.

thank you. user:openforbusiness
- I don't find deletion of this article to be much of a loss, actually... As it stands now, of course. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 10:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scope of the project
The initial statement of scope for this project is, “This WikiProject aims to promote better coordination, content distribution, balance and cross-referencing among pages covering topics of spirituality, as well as pages on topics that can be compared or contrasted with spirituality.”
When I think about Wikipedia, I notice four fundamental "ways of knowing" strongly expressed here - science, philosophy, religion and spirituality. By strengthening the spirituality-related pages, my hope is that this spirituality project can go a long way to help show how these ways of knowing interrelate with each other, not just emphasize their differences. — RichardRDFtalk 14:40, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Isn't religion a part of spirituality? I mean, I noticed Sephirot (Kabbalah) is part of the spirituality group, yet isn't Kabbalah a religion? I'm a little hazy on this whole thing and it'd be good if you could explain it. Out of interest, are those four ways wiki policy or some such? Seems like a good project though. fel64 18:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC) Oh, and what's vegan organic gardening doing here? I can't see a connection myself. fel64 18:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hindu near-vandal
Could someone "into" Hinduism please review Special:contributions/141.156.144.99 and Special:contributions/SWDesai21. They seem to be largely copy-and-pastes and have all been multiply posted. -- RHaworth 08:21, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- I posted a link to your request at the Hinduism project talk page. — RichardRDFtalk 02:09, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] mysticism
hiya
User:Mel_Etitis removed a paragraph i wrote from the mysticism article and placed it on the talk page. User:Blainster commented right away, but there's been nothing for about a week or two. it'd be great if you guys could share your thoughts so some resolution can be effected. --Heah [[User_talk:Heah|(talk)]] 00:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Request
Would someone please review the article Rhiannon Waits and comment? I think a neutral party's review is needed here (take a look at the associated discussion page and you'll see what I mean).--Caliga10 17:50, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ask for new language version of the portal
I wont to work for the project, but there is no information how to do this. Please explain for example how to make new language version of Spirituality Portal. Best regards, Razum 08:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AfD FYI
- Just an fyi that the article for Neo-spiritualism is an AfD. I'm just a kind, thorough messenger, and neutral on the topic's deletion. :-) Keesiewonder 12:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Banner image
I was wondering whether the members of this project would want the articles within the scope of the project to be assessed. One other consideration which struck me is how to find an image which would draw attention to the project banner. Y'know, there really aren't a lot that fit. About the only kind I could find that didn't specifically suggest specific creeds were non-denominational sunrise photos. Having said that, I kinda like Image:Kaloe.jpg and Image:Rayofsunshine.jpg. Would the members want to engage in assessments, and would they like one of these, or maybe some other image, added to the banner? Badbilltucker 18:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 18:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Religion
The group indicated above was recently revitalized for, among other things, the purpose of working on those articles whose content is such that the article does not fall within the scope of any particular denomination. To most effectively do this, however, we would benefit greatly if there were at least one member from this Project working on those articles. On that basis, I would encourage and welcome any member of this Project willing to work on those articles to join the Religion WikiProject. Thank you. Badbilltucker 14:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help requested
Help could really be used in expanding the stub internal alchemy. The Taoic religions article has recently been expanded, but needs further expansion and reliable sources. Any assistance would be dearly appreciated. Vassyana 14:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
