Heh ! Apparently I get to send you a message in a shiny, new way ! lol. Re: the scientology project page: [1] by all means get in there do some things. I am no authority but Wiki is all of us doing things, sometimes apart and sometimes together.

Re:The page of Science of Survival which is a graph of IQ changes after 40 hours of auditing, I am going to withdraw what i promised earlier for this reason. It is a whole page. I an not so sure that it is okay to copy, use and redistribute (to god knows where) a whole page of a copyrighted work. A sentence yes, 2 paragraphs, maybe but I became more cautious when I realized to do it, Would require at least one whole page and to do it right would need at least 2 whole pages. Then they would need to be cited, paged number, IBSN and so on and it seems like it would infringe copyrights. So I withdraw. Is there anyplace I should explain this to anyone else, anyplace where you need to tell someone why not, that I could talk to them directly and explain my copyright infringement concerns?

Have a good one, Spirit ! Terryeo 20:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't think you have to apologize to anyone. Do what you can and let the rest go. The IQ chart is from the Hubbard Dianetics Research Foundation which is long gone more than 50 years. The intent of the project was to make test results more well known. I can't imagine there is any possibility of a copywrite problem.

I don't think the CoS Project has a good intention. More like a 1.1 intention. Like on the Dianetics page, they say "no test results" when these things are easily demonstrable by anyone and the test results have been published. There may be an issue with the APA accepting or admitting to test results existing that would be different story. In the Sept 9th, 1950 NY Times article, even the NY Times reporter states that Hubbard has had test results for a year, but the APA has not accepted them. --Spirit of Man 00:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks about removing my promise to copy and post results from Science of Survival. I lean toward your 1.1 evaluation about that project, with some expeption. I am convinced one or two of the people whom have volenteered intend to harm and degrade every bit of the information the public reads. On the other hand, it feels like there are at least a couple of well meaning people too. I feel a little bit like a grown man might feel in a group of bickering females, if you follow, not being able to get an honest word in edgewise and then, if a word is gotten in at all it is streached, folded, spindled and deleted. heh ! have a good one Terryeo 02:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I think you're doing a good job. The Dianetics article is making sense too. Terryeo 13:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Terryeo, Hi. I could use your support at the Dianetics article.
