[edit] The Moment

As it stands, this article clearly needs to get split into two articles. I'd have done this if not for uncertainty about the appropriate titles. One could be called "The Moment (album)", but I'm not sure about the other. Probably neither could be considered the "main" meaning of the phrase, so neither should be simply "The Moment". If that much is right, then "The Moment" should become a disambiguation page. Michael Hardy 01:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

In SUNRISE, there is still a reference to "The Moment" which now points to a Japanese CD, not related to Sunrises. When the term is mainstream, I will re-submit "The Moment" as the measurement of apex in the events (sunrise and sunset). Maybe I'll need to reference the books once they go to print and/or News-Weather services who start tracking The Moment. Tho it has been used since 2005, it certainly isnt mainstream, yet ... only Northern California and Fiji are using it, that I know of. There is no "promotion", in that noone profits from knowing when The Moment occurs, especially since few people agree to the actual timing.

Sorry,

[edit] The Moment and original research

I've removed your insertions about "The Moment" from Sunrise, Sunset, The Moment and related articles. This is not in any way a commentary on the merits of your ideas; however, the description you supplied makes it clear that you devised the concept of "The Moment" and are using Wikipedia to promote it. Unfortunately, a longstanding Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. There is a detailed explanation of this policy at Wikipedia:No original research. --Polonius 04:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Response: In SUNRISE, there is still a reference to "The Moment" which now points to a Japanese CD, not related to Sunrises. When the term is mainstream, I will re-submit "The Moment" as the measurement of apex in the events (sunrise and sunset) ... tho I no longer have all the text used since it was deleted. Maybe I'll need to reference the books once they go to print and/or News-Weather services who start tracking The Moment.

  • All the text you entered remains accessible in the histories of the Wikipedia pages you edited; here is your text from The Moment, for example. Since you say that the concept is in active use in Northern California and Fiji (which would most likely count as notable enough for inclusion -- there are certainly many more obscure things in Wikipedia), if you can supply corroborating evidence that satisfies the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy, it can be re-inserted. --22:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Sorry -- that was me, but I mucked up signing it. --Polonius 22:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
