[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

KV(Talk) 17:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC) --Svartalf 20:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC) I added myself... hope I'm not trespassing on a private club. I'm not quite sure if I'm expert enough to be useful, but I'll try.

Your not tresspassing. Right now I'm working on the user box. SynergeticMaggot 20:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Increasing Support

The more people we get to visit the pages, the more likely it is that they'll join. So if we make a 500+ word article that is less than 5 days old, we can submit it to Did You Know? so more people see the articles.

[edit] Sign-Up

Considering that this is the proper way to sign up (I can't figure out wjich talk page I'm supposed to use) I would like to know if my assistance is acceptable for maintaining and bettering Portal: Occult.--Whytecypress 17:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation Link

I've had some difficulty locating this portal, so I added a link on the diasmbiguation page for Occult. That should make it easier for more people to view it and join. To see the link, click here, as it may requre some rewording.--Whytecypress 20:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Its in the Portal directory here: [[1]]. Other than that, you are more than welcome to add the portal to relevant article's. SynergeticMaggot 21:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Project

I'm taking my user name off of the project and leaving it up to the members. Also, the portal is to be left up to the project still. Regards. SynergeticMaggot 06:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freemasonry

Im not certain, but I checked several times, Freemasonry isn't included in Category: Occult. Does It qualify for addition to the Portal? (Forgive me if It's already here)--Whytecypress 21:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Might get some pushback from that for many Masons would not consider the masonic organization related to the occut. Might cause more harm then help.--P Todd 02:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sign-Up

I'd like to join the Occult WikiProject. Do I just add my name to the members, or wait for confirmation of acceptance? I'm not sure how things work here. Cheers, Emma. --MerKaBa 12:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, Just sign up on the project page. Also, create your userpage and copy our userbox onto it to show you're a member. Then just come aboard. Welcome--Whytecypress 20:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to begin work with everyone here on this project. thus far, my edits have directed towards settling disputes with the articles regarding satanism, chaos magick, and will soon include Crowley. I believe that I will contribute much to this project and look foward to working with you all. AlexanderLevian 20:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome. Your role is needed. It's quite important to have a mediator on these articles associated with the project. _{--Whytecypress 00:45, 27 November 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 18:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Member Communication

There has been almost no communication or collaboration between the project members ever since a short while after the project started. Suggestions, please.--Whytecypress 01:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

2 monts later,no reply. --Whytecypress 02:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internal Alchemy

I would appreciate any help is building up the internal alchemy article. Thanks!! Vassyana 13:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll contribute some things --Whytecypress 02:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tarot Cards

Hya.

I'm on a quest to clean and flush out Wikipedia's articles on the Tarot and am looking for 1) a place to coordinate activities in this regard and 2) help! I was wondering if Tarot would fit under the remit of WikiProject Occult and, if so, if I could set up a sub-page in your project space.

Cheers! --jwanders^Talk 20:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
