Talk:Universal Great Brotherhood

message: This looks like an advertisement. Modified --Valermos 22:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.--Dangerous-Boy 23:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

text: True. What the article doesn't tell you is that the main activity of the Brotherhood is to realease the master's doctrine, based on the paradygm that we are in the New Age of Aquarius since 1948 (erroneous calculations he himself presents) and that de la Ferrière is the avatar of this new age, or the second coming of Christ. Another thing the article doesn't mention is that, although the Brotherhood preaches unity among all people of different genders, ethnicities, nationalitites, social classes, etc., it is split up into more than 20 rival institutions, who dispute the authority of the master's teachings. Last but not least, another point left out is that although the Brotherhood is very welcoming to everyone, and has a group of nice folks, once you're inside the institution you face a rigid, vertical and masculine hierarchy, which is precisely the basic contradiction of the movement.

thread_title: Deletion

message: The founder of the UGB, Serge Raynaud de la Ferrière, has many inconsistencies in his biography. For instance, he claims in one of his letters to have earned five doctorate degrees, but where his biographers say he studied, he did not, and there are letters from various European universities confirming that he is not listed in their student files. Next, he copies several paragraphs from different authors without quoting them correctly. In one of his books, almost half of it is copied from a French author, which he only mentions here and there. Furthermore, he says he has the scientific proof of the vernal equinox in the constellation of Aquarius, in 1948, whereas it boils down to a calculation derived from his birth date. Besides, astronomically, the vernal equinox is still in Piscis. It would be a good idea to read his wife’s book (only in Spanish, free download here: http://louise.mejor.es/), to get a better glimpse of him. Lastly, he says he received recognition as a boddhisatva from a delegate do the Dalai Lama, in Burma, 1950, but the Office of His Holiness has sofar denied they know anything about him or the so–called delegate.

Talk:List of United States Navy ships: G–H

message: In regard to the recent edits by 147.240.236.8, It is not so much that the information is incorrect.  In fact you are correct, and those are the designations for these ships.  However this list page uses these links as redirects.  Hence USS Galveston is a page to distinguish all the ships with this name.  like (USS Galveston (C-17) and USS Galveston (CLG-3)).  But when there exists only one ship with a particular name, for example USS Guest (DD-472), you will find that the link USS Guest redirects to that page.  This makes it easier to maintain this list, should the Navy ever add another new ship with a previously used name.  -- malo (talk)/(contribs) 22:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:John Steell

message: The Gazeteer for Scotland entry for Steell says "He was appointed Queen Victoria's Sculptor in Scotland", but I don't think that's true (and at certainly I can't find evidence to support that claim).  The post of Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland seems to be one that someone holds until they die, and Boehm held it until he died in 1890.  I suppose it's possible that they gave it to Steell upon Boehm's death, only for Steell to die the following year. This much more complete biography doesn't mention that at all. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

In Sonic Battle it was said that it was given a 'soul' by Gerald Robotnik - that's not a heart. That may just be a special program or scripts the Doctor gave Emerl. Anyway, it has to be something artificially designed, since the Journals said the soul was akin to Maria's. 
And other than the heart, I can't find any references to human parts in Emerl.

If stating the requirement in this way doesn't make the idea of putting it in WP absurd enough for people to just forget about it, there's also the little matter of WP's strict rules regarding material in biographies of living persons.
