[edit] Your work on The Urantia Book

Great work cleaning up the grammar in this article, also good work removing unneeded opinions and such. This article needs it and it is a daunting challenge. Keep whittling. HighInBC 17:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, humbly - from my heart. Your thoughts and comments make it all worthwhile. There is much more to do. I hope you will drop by and help out. Hanely 04:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

You and I haven't formally met, but I've read a lot of your edits in the Archives, and I know you've put a lot of work in the article. This is just to welcome you back. Richiar 05:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current effort

Hi Hanley:

Thanks for your message. I am currently working on "simplifying the article". I seem to be silent for periods of time, because I'm studying the article and how to proceed. The language of the UB is somewhat difficult unless a person has the patience to read it over many years, and learn the terminology. I am trying to convert the language being used into more simplistic prose, to fit into an encyclopedic article, while retaining as much of the content from the current article as possible. Right now there seems to be a difference of opinion on the interpretation of the style of language that is used for the article. What I mean is, I think Wazronk views the conversion of the UB style of writing to a more simplistic style, which I prefer and think improves the article, as being "original research".

I am reviewing the archives again, and see that this issure came up before: specifically, with user Sweet Bear, in Nov '06. I haven't had a chance to read the archives as much as necessary, which I plan to do, so I can more fully understand the background before I came in Dec '06.

We hope you can stay for a while, but your cheerfulness is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Richiar

Hi Richiar,

Thanks back atcha. I will come by as often as I can, but I have many irons in the fire right now and so my visits will be sporadic, I am sure. :) I love to help when I can, though.

I have written to you in your "talk" page about "original research"... maybe it will be helpful? Hanely 16:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophy

Whenever you can show up is fine with us ! Allright on Philosophy. I'll keep it in. I guess we could say that philosophy is said in the UB that it should be combined with science and religion, so that in a sense is about philosophy. Also, it says in the last 2 or 3 chapters of the book that materialism, secularism, etc, will lead to more war, unless the religion of Jesus is brought to the world and the brotherhood of man is honored. So that could be included in a general way as "philosophy". However, anyone familiar with the field of philosophy, who reads the UB, would clearly see there is no content that relates to the field of philosophy. So maybe a clarifying notation might be placed at the bottom or something. Richiar 00:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Epochal

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Epochal, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
