User talk:Jpierreg: Difference between revisions

==Welcome== Hello Jpierreg 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, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

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 Wikipedia: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)[reply]

Just place {{db-author}} at the top of the page and an admin will zap it for you. - Draeco 01:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

>> Back to the least fair introduction:

Scientology is a system of beliefs and practices created by American pulp fiction^[1] author L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 as a self-help philosophy.

Here below are links to L. Ron Hubbard's different works:

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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?

true, and so not really appropriate. --Hartley Patterson 09:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you keep using a formatting style intended for citing references in the External Links sections of articles? It's making the sections needlessly complicated and hard to read, both for editors and for casual readers. WP:EL is quite specific about to list external links in its "How to list" section: [9] At the very least, please stop placing an unnecessary link to Church of Scientology in the unnecessary "Publisher" field in every one of these links, it's extremely disruptive. wikipediatrix 05:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check the post I left you on the talk page for Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health... I don't think either of the links you've added to Supernatural abilities in Scientology doctrine have much to do with the subject of the article either. An official Scientology page about Operating Thetan levels or Exteriorization would be more appropriate than these generic "success stories" links . wikipediatrix 17:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will answer shortly Jpierreg 17:18, 11 November 2006 (GMT)

Sorry to be a pest. I do support a lot of the links you've been adding recently, though. wikipediatrix 17:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know you are not a pest and that you can demonstrate fairness sometimes but sometimes you seams to overeact as if, may be, you were too tired. Jpierreg 17:24, 11 November 2006 (GMT)

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

You may want to address this User talk:Wikipediatrix --Justanother 23:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)

I'm confused about your message on my page. what was that about? Johnpedia 21:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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 [10]). Jpierreg 07:25, 5 January 2007 (GMT)

Hi jpierreg,

I don't want to register an e-mail, but can you let me know what it was you had a question about, specifically?

Best wishes, S. M. Sullivan 05:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
