"Mormon children are taught that someday the name of the Heavenly Mother will be revealed, and TEENAGERS are told the reason it has not been revealed so far is in order to prevent anyone from taking her name in vain." I do apologize. I accidentally left out the word "teenagers" in the previous statement I inserted in the Heavenly Mother article. With the word "teenagers" inserted, this statement reflects what I was taught in the LDS Church. Besides being taught this in church, I was also told this by my Mormon mother. I attended the LDS Church until the age of 18. Best wishes to you, Keraunos 08:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
See WP:STAT and Category:Wikipedia statistics for current statistics. I remember reading a discussion about article counters a long time ago, and I believe consensus was against their use, although I'm pretty sure similar data (most edited pages) can be acquired either through downloading the database or using the external sites linked above. — Viriditas | Talk 05:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi can you please provide citations for these alleged aims of neo-Nazis? Paul B 09:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Keraunos, do you have any sources for the "origins" section you wrote for the new world order article? Your contribution may fit better in the New World Order (conspiracy) article.— Perceval 18:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've seen you've been doing a ton of work on various color-related articles. I just wanted to invite you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Color. You also might like to see a summary of the guiding principles we've discussed recently.

Thanks for your contribution. Could you provide the author's name for the article? I've formatted your reference to match the other citations in the article, if you could just add "Last, First, " before the article title, that would be great.— Chidom talk 15:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

You added a statement to Terra (mythology) that technically, in correct Classical Latin, "Terra" refers to earth as an element and "Tellus" refers to the sphere on which we live.
Could you please provide a source for this? I'm not an expert in Classical Latin by any means, but from a little bit of digging it seems Ovid was unaware of this distinction. If this is a well-known bit of Latin trivia, then it might be worth noting, in which case it should be easy to come up with a reference.

I responded to your comment on my talk page, at Atomaton. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment, looks like I didn't manage to revert mine in time. :-) Sorry, it seems that the green gun on the spare monitor I'm using at work is completely shot...

I notice you're making great contributions, but marking them all as "minor". On Wikipedia, minor edits are edits that don't change the meaning or content of the article, such as spelling or format changes. You may have set the "mark all edits as minor" preference.

I'm afraid I have no idea how it would be implemented per-page, but I'm certain the Wiki keeps the data somewhere. Try Special:Specialpages and Wikipedia:Statistics for a start.

I've not come across an original 17 colours; the HTML4 spec names 16; the ones you list with the exception of orange. Tonywalton | Talk 17:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
<!ENTITY % color "CDATA" -- a color specification: #HHHHHH @@ details? -->
whereas HTML4.0 has
<!ENTITY % Color "CDATA" -- a color using sRGB: #RRGGBB as Hex values --> <!-- There are also 16 widely known color names with their sRGB values: Black = #000000 Green = #008000 Silver = #C0C0C0 Lime = #00FF00 Gray = #808080 Olive = #808000 White = #FFFFFF Yellow = #FFFF00 Maroon = #800000 Navy = #000080 Red = #FF0000 Blue = #0000FF Purple = #800080 Teal = #008080 Fuchsia= #FF00FF Aqua = #00FFFF -->
(No mention of orange). The previous HTML spec, HTML2.0 from 1995, doesn't mention color (or colour, given that Tim Berners-Lee is a Brit) at all. Tonywalton | Talk 17:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
If you read the X11 color names article you'll see that
It is not known who originally compiled the list. The list shows neither a continuity in selected color values nor in color names, and many color triplets have multiple names. Despite this, graphic designers and others got used to them making it practically impossible to introduce a more stringent and logical alias list.X11 color names"
. Unless you know different, of course :-) Tonywalton | Talk 17:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Keraunos, I noticed you recreated the Stripping fetishism article after it had been deleted. For the discussion of the deletion, see this page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stripping fetishism. If you wish to have the article recreated, you must first discuss it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Robotman1974 17:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I've added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Watermelon (color), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Watermelon (color). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Fram 15:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
You ask: "What is the name of the software that Wikipedia uses to make the color box formula on the editing page display as a color box in the article?" If I understand you correctly you mean "what converts "#9926db" into purple?" And the answer is "your web browser". Colour specification like that is simply part of the HTML spec, like <b> meaning bold. As for getting software that allows you to preview a given hex triplet as a colour, that would depend on what OS you're running. I'm using a Mac so I use the bundled DigitalColor Meter to measure the values of given screen pixels and various bits of freeware such as ColorTagGen to see what a given triplet looks like as a colour. If you're running on a Mac you're welcome to have a copy of ColorTagGen (which is open source). Regards, Tonywalton | Talk 12:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey there, I noticed you wrote on your userpage that you are interested in gay history: would you be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Keraunos! Please don't remove the LGBT project banner from articles that it belongs on (like Trocadero Transfer - we use the banner to help a) promote the WikiProject and b) categorize articles according to their assessment. Thanks! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 07:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I see you expanded the article, but did not add any references. WP:ATT explains the requirements. Please add the necessary references to support your changes, and add references for the existing content as well. Dhaluza 11:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I came here to say the same thing. And I notice a similar pattern on other colors. I'm going to start pulling out unsourced statements and subsections soon, so please add your references to things you care about. Dicklyon 06:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Firstly, please try to incorporate your minor edits into larger ones. Otherwise you clog up the edit history, making it harder to navigate.
Again, where is your evidence for this material you have added regarding Neo-Nazis? Slac speak up! 06:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
when using words like 'commonly,' you will definitely need a site as this can be construed as WP:Weasel words. i am hesitant to revert, as i am hoping you can provide a ref outside of wikipedia. tx. the_undertow talk 09:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your work in adding colour sources. I am concerned, though, that you are adding sources as diverse as other Wikipedia pages and forum posts, which do not meet Wikipedia:Attribution#Reliable sources. I think sources are at the heart of a long-overdue debate on color articles, and I have begun a discussion here [1]. I imagine you will want to contribute to this discussion. Notinasnaid 11:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I've joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Color (by adding my signature there) and started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Color about your color comparison strip charts. You might want to join, too, or join the discussion in any case, so we don't have to have it at each color page. Dicklyon 14:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear Keraunos. I notice you have reverted some of the changes I made to this article, and am curious on what basis you have done this. As a long-time student of the original 24 books of Alice Bailey, I am frankly puzzled by some of the teachings you ascribe to her. Where, for example, does she mention "etheric cities"? Please cite your source. At the moment this page is not an accurate reflection of Alice Bailey's position, and I will be changing it again to reflect this.
Domdib
You are correct. The "etheric cities" ("retreats") for each Master are concepts introduced by the Church Universal and Triumphant. I changed the article to reflect that. Also, the "characteristic magic" of each ray was listed by C.W. Leadbeater and not Alice A. Bailey--I moved that list to a new section. By the way, you should start a talk page so that people can reply to you on your own talk page. That is the normal procedure. Keraunos 08:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
That Texas stamp collector's site seems to list several different color chips per color name. Is there any reason to believe it's a reliable source, esp. for the numeric values? I just ordered a copy of the NBS pub so I can see what it says. You might want to get one, too. Starting at $15: ABEBOOKS.com – Dicklyon 05:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I nominated an article that you created, Afro Lusitanic American, for deletion. If you think that the article is salvageable, or that I'm mistaken, please comment on its deletion page. Please see the Guide to deletion if you have any questions about Wikipedia's deletion process. -- Tikiwont 11:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi! You made this edit concerning the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. Since you've also added a reference for that, I'm a little reluctant to touch it -- but as far as I know, the military codename for the operation itself was actually Unternehmen Südost (Operation Southeast), not Fall Grün (Operation Green). But again, since I have no book at hand to cite, I left your edit in place. -- Sandius 12:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

A {{
prod}} template has been added to the article
Robert Dean (Ufologist), suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{

Under the

The answer is yes, but it depends on whether the articles are redirects or have been deleted. If it's a redirect, just click the redirect to see the page history. If it's been moved/merged into a new article, there's a good chance that the page history has been merged as well. If the article was deleted, then you may need to ask an admin to pull the history for you. (see this page) If you are interested in merging different page histories, you may want to see: Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen or just contact one of the admins listed on that page if you need help. Otherwise, feel free to give me specific examples and I can try to help, but I don't have a sysop bit. — Viriditas | Talk 13:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

You don't seem to have any citation that the "Starflight Network" ever existed. I can't find one through either a Google search or a Google Book search, and Wilson's lecture agent from 1982 through 1988 has never heard of it. Also, such info as "One of the activities of the group was setting up and manning tables to sell Dr. Timothy Leary's and Robert Anton Wilson's books at Star Trek conventions" and "Discusssions at the group centered on how to practically implement the futurist ideas of space migration, intelligence increase, and life extension (SMI²LE) that were three central concepts of Leary's philosophy" are hardly encyclopedic; the same could be said for dozens of groups. Please provide documentation to support this paragraph. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
The term "The Holocaust" for the attempted genocide of the Jews by the Nazis predates the TV series by at least 20 years in popular culture. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Someone eliminated the Seven rays article by redirecting it to the Ascended Master Teachings. This in effect made it disappear. I reverted the redirect, and this brought the article back. Then he put a "Merge proposal" tag at the top of the article. He also put "Merge proposal" tags at the top of a number of other articles.
I think you might want to comment on this since you spent a lot of time contributing to this and other articles listed in the "Category:Ascended Master Teachings" (such as Master Jesus and others). To merge them will essentially remove them from Wikipedia. All this has been done without discussion or consensus. Arion ( talk) 00:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Due to past problems with the article, I have to insist that information added there be supported by reliable sources, so I've removed your contributions. I must admit, without any additional context to establish its significance, I'm not sure what the point is of mentioning trivial things like a high school student distributing a "zine" or a brief stint managing a short-lived punk band. -- Michael Snow ( talk) 00:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

In the last month or so there's been a edit dispute on the article, about what it is, who it was meant for, where the article needs to go, whether it needs to be split. Not of lot of people work on it, so there's very few people deciding these issues. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article, it's history, and talk page and put your two cents in at the bottom of the Talk:Kardashev scale page. If you could, it'd be really helpful.

See the update at the source discussion. It has become clear now that the BF2S color guide was copied from wikipedia in late September 2006, shortly after you added rose (color) to the list of colors, and before any of your subsequent changes.

Just to let you know, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Anglo-Saxons used the white dragon flag to represent themselves - unsourced, nationalist websites notwithstanding. The West Saxons certainly used a dragon flag, but they are not England, just a part of it. The only ancient sources that ascribe a white dragon to the English are Welsh - the enemies of the English. The Cross of St. George is indeed post-Norman, but anyone who has seen football games when England are playing can be in no doubt that the English use it to represent themselves. ðarkun coll 00:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Here [4] you changed a quote, why? Another editor has put back the original. Dougweller ( talk) 11:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Keraunos, I see that you've been trying to change "Moon" to "Luna" in a couple of places. There's an ongoing discussion about this located here:
Talk:Moon#"Luna" in introduction. There is also some older discussion on the issue of the use of "Luna" on the Talk:Moon page that you may be interested in reading. Since Wikipedia works by all of us reaching
consensus, your energy would best be spend in discussing the use fo "Luna" on the talk page before changing the text of the article(s).

Am indeed a night owl, and not just a little bit. I tell all I know about DSPS / circadian rhythms etc in my blog. (See user page.)
Where in Norway do I live? My username tells you that! Have you found your Drammen ancestors in the 1865 census?
Though I've struggled with DSPS all my life, most of the time without knowing what it is, I've stayed away from pills-to-sleep and pills-to-wake. Am very glad I never let a dr talk me into that. So, no, I don't know much about modafinil. I do use the hormone melatonin now. - Hordaland ( talk) 14:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Regarding your question on Talk:Ancient Egyptian religion, the Egyptians didn't call their religion anything. They didn't even have a word for "religion". Their belief system wasn't an exclusive, cohesive doctrine like modern Abrahamic religions. Its central tenets were that the gods existed in every aspect in nature, and were responsible for the behavior of all its forces and elements—a notion that seemed so obvious to them that they couldn't imagine another way of thinking. This was probably true all over the world at the time that Egyptian civilization first arose. Scientific thinking hadn't developed yet, so when people looked at a natural phenomenon whose cause they couldn't immediately see, they attributed it to the actions of a god. Different societies believed in different gods, of course, but because the different aspects of nature are virtually limitless, the Egyptians often adopted gods from neighboring peoples, seeing them as representing new phenomena, or new aspects of gods which they already worshipped. Centuries of monotheistic religion and scientific thought have made this way of thinking completely alien to us, which makes my attempts to rewrite the article that much harder. ( Hinduism is still somewhat like this, which is why the discussion for that article is still arguing over whether it should be called a "religion" at all.) A.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Initiation (Theosophy) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it.

A tag has been placed on Vladimir Correa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi Keraunos. Not sure it was that good of an idea to rename the Isabelline color article to Isabelline (animal colour). I know that is what we have for Chestnut, but it is awkward. Or at least, can you do a run through and disambiguate any links, and also fix our horse coat colors template? Montanabw (talk) 07:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Here; http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ethnic_flag&oldid=334303777 I have to make some notes. 1.How do you know that the naval ensign of Russia is also the flag of the Russian people. 2.Two Sicilies independence movement was a political movement but there is not such thing as "Duosicilians". There are only Sicilians and Neapolitan people that are represented with their flags. The same I could add at "Romaians" 3.The term "Teutonic" is not representing all the modern germanic nations (Scandinavian, English ect) so this description is odd. I belive that this changes must be undid (exept maby the Tuscanians). What do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Indymediacentral ( talk • contribs) 01:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
