I'm here only sporadically, so if you leave a message, don't expect a prompt response.

Five monks were meditating when suddenly the wind picked up and a flag nearby flapped in the wind.

The first monk, the youngest of the group, broke his meditation and shouted, "Flag is moving!"

The second monk shouted, "Wind is moving!"

The third monk shouted, "Mind is moving!"

The fourth monk shouted, "Nothing is moving!"

The fifth monk, the eldest of the group, shouted, "Mouths are moving!"

Faith in the Kalama Sutta

The offending section has seemed to have disappeared since you asked my help on this. It seems good as it now stands, but I added my ha'peth worth about faith in the Faith in Buddhism article instead Thanissaro (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Outline of Buddhism

You requested this article in the Buddhism Wikiproject. Someone did a lot of work and made it on their own: Outline of Buddhism. Thought you might want to check it out! ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 17:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the heads up. That filled a big gap in the religion section of the WP:OOK. The Transhumanist    16:02, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

P.S.: Does your scope of interest include human knowledge as a whole (the Big Picture, a bird's eye view, EVERYTHING)? If so, please consider joining WP:WPOOK. -TT

I don't really have any fixed scope of interest on Misplaced Pages. I enjoy contributing but don't seriously expect anything much to come from this site. I will edit pretty much whatever I want, whenever I want, if I can get away with it (WP:IAR), which tends to be random, small fixes and improvements, and I don't really bother with the hassle of trying to collaborate with anyone. I'm also lazy about searching for good references. And I'm not a consistent editor, like the type of person who will edit Misplaced Pages every day, several hours a day, week after week. The length of time I spend on here now varies greatly.

So, I might contribute to pretty much any wikiproject, including yours if I happen to feel like it (right now I don't) but I won't make the formal commitment of signing my name to the page or adding some silly category tag, "Support of Wikiproject Whatever," to my userpage. With that said, I think that the lack of good outlines is the least of Misplaced Pages's issues.

Thanks for the offer, though. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 16:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Satanic ritual abuse

Hi,

You've got SRA on your hall of shame page. Now that ResearchEditor has been blocked, I wonder if you still think it belongs there? Just curiosity... WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 15:00, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought I deleted that page? I remember somebody complaining about it, that it was "uncivil," etc.. I don't update that page anymore.

Anyway, it wasn't that specific user or edit which I thought was shameful: It was the existence of the entire page. You had a page devoted to a phenomenon that never actually happened. At the time, the article was regularly filled with allegations and speculations that SRA actually might've gone on and I thought that was a LOL funny.

Looking at it now, it seems like the article is much better, no doubt due to the banning of a whole slew of editors and a small group of rational individual editors putting their feet down over such nonsense.

Thanks for reminding me, btw, about all of my stupid subpages. I need to delete some of them. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 15:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You could always slap a {{db-userreq}} on it. Glad you're happy with the current SRA, it was a labour of hate. I really hated the douchebag who thought it was real. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 16:26, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

You shouldn't take Misplaced Pages or such crazy people so seriously. I bet he thinks Satan created rock 'n roll and Obama is the anti-Christ. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 16:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Request for assistance

I am currently trying to help the editors in the Falun Gong (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) topic area move away from POV pushing and personal commentary. (Please note: Talk:Falun Gong#Topic area review.) You are an editor that I believe can help facilitate this change. I am looking for some uninvolved people with experience and savvy to become involved in the editorial process. A review of the article and associated discussion, in a style similar to a good article review or broad RfC response, would be a good first step and very helpful. However, some leadership in discussion and editing as a whole would be invaluable and sincerely appreciated. This can cover a very broad range including (but not limited to) identifying article flaws, keeping conversation focused on content, reporting disruptive editors, making proposed compromises, boldly correcting errors, and so forth. If you are willing to help out, please look things over and provide your feedback on the Falun Gong talk page. Essentially, we need some experienced editors to put things on track. Any assistance in this regard is gratefully welcomed. Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 06:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
