message: Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the fountain of youth just restored peoples' youth, not made them permanently young...

thread_title:  not  wrong 

message: Twice on the 22nd  I've attempted to add in a very small article in 'Fountain of Youth', plus a single external link. Both times the edits stayed put for about half an hour. After about an hour they completely disappeared. The entry was under the headline 'The Revelatorium'. The Revelatorium is a pubslished book by Commoners Press and has been online as a website since 1999. Who do I need to talk to about not removing the edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CliffR (talk • contribs) 
:I removed your edits because they violated some Wikipedia policies. See Wikipedia:Spam, Wikipedia:No original research. There's a Help button on the navigation panel to the left if you need more.--Cúchullain t c 19:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC. 
Can you specify the violations instead of me trying to figure out a lot of policy. Either I will be able to appease the terms and condions, or I won't, and will stop trying to post. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CliffR (talk • contribs)

message: ok im a litte pissed off cuz i was reading the article and out of no where the ending of pirates3 at worlds end is given. I have not seen it yet and you totaly just fucked me over. Sorry about the language but i am upset.
:Sorry, but wikipedia contains spoilers. I don't know how relevant that particular fact is, but we don't leave out relevant material simply because it spoils a movie for someone.--Cúchullain t/c 04:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Any suggestions why Water of life should or should not redirect here? Thanks. History2007 (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Water of Life" is another name for the "water of youth", "fountain of youth", etc. Now that there are more articles of that title it might behoove us to move the disambiguation page to water of life.--Cúchullain t/c 18:27, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The term water of youth  has no page and may also need to be clarified. Should it redirect here or....? There are various streams etc. named that way it seems, but I have not researched them. But water of youth has almost no theological element to it, unlike Water of Life, and may do with a redirect here, with a suitable expansion, etc. So let us wait to see what other people say and if no objection in a day or two we will make a disambig page for Water of Life and do something about water of youth. Are there spammers who sell water of youth in bottles? History2007 (talk) 18:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections, so I will make a disambig page, and if you guys want to clean up and add to it please do. History2007 (talk) 17:05, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Water of Life is aqua vitae (i.e. liquor). It's a totally different animal. Dab or just redirect there, not here. — LlywelynII 06:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

text: There is no real common English name. Tree of Life, Water of Life, Fountain of Youth... 'Water of Youth' should be about one of those corporate uses, but if they can't take the time to meet notability and make their own page, there's no reason you should provide free labor. — LlywelynII 06:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Free labor? I thought we were all going to get paid at the end of next week... But as a note, Tree of Life, Water of Life and Book of Life do have Book of Revelation contexts, not related to here. Those corporations are not, however, anywhere near Fortune 1000, else I would have made a page. The corporations may not be there next year, but the streams mentioned above may be, so may deserve a page. History2007 (talk) 08:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Water of Life

message: I tried to figure out what the Water of youth page should be and there are just too many possibilities.  It also has various corporate uses, from a company in Bellville, TX to one in Wanganui, New Zealand. I am actually going to put that on hold for now until there are better ideas as to what it should be. But this may be the most solid use (pun intended) and it would lead it here to this page, as stated above. Other ideas? History2007 (talk) 17:29, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Water of youth

message: As the word is generally construed. The source concedes PdL might have known about the myths that were subsequently jumbled around the same Beniny that shows up on PdL's commission; and they were so popular chroniclers were writing to the pope to complain. We should note his points about the natives' Bimini (Maya), de Solis's Boinca (Honduras), and the lack of primary evidence in PdL's logs, absolutely. But we should avoid unsupported POVy language that implies they were simply subsequent fabrications. — LlywelynII 06:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Ponce de Leon story not "apocryphal"

message: The Bimini section (esp. where it talks about the so-called healing hole) seems to contain a lot of new age gibberish (complete with typical pseudo-scientific misinterpretations of basic science research. The same is true of related sections on other pages. I think whoever is responsible for editing this page should look at who supplied this material. There are a lot of new-age themed tourist business in the Bahamas (like the Atlantis Restoration Center) that would have an interest in posting this kind of counter-factual material.
