OAF - nice to see that you have signed in as a wikipedian. Please keep in mind that the content must be [[WP:verifiable verifiable]. Glad to see you included the unsolved puzzles. Nice work --AnotherDoth 17:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OAF - Nice work on the in-touch clue. By the way, some of the sun and moon symbols (specifically the cresents) do not show up. Try viewing from a different computer and see if you get the same problem. --AnotherDoth 18:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the Wiki Page

You wrote: "please lets not argue whether the wiki can be trusted or not; wiki's can be edited by anyone and so should always be taken with several pinches of salt. I'd also be happy to provide simple TRANSCRIPTIONS of the lesser puzzles if people want them. To me that'd be the correct starting point of attack and might encourage more analytical thinking. What do you think? OAF "

I tend to agree with you. My intent in starting the page was not to catalog every wild theory. That goes against the wiki principle of No Original Research. My intent was to catalog the items that had been identified mostly for my own use. I'm just glad that many other individuals have contributed and improved my original notes. If you would be willing to edit the wiki page to seperate the theories from the puzzle descriptions, I would be completly in favor. Just remember that we can not violate the copy-rights. My understanding, (I am not a lawyer), is that we can describe the location and elements of anything that we belive is a puzzle, but we can not include the puzzle itself. This description may be actually more usefull than an interpretation. For example, digitizer has provided cleaned up versions of the HCB, but these versions may have inadvertently removed something important to the solve. Unfortunately, we will not know what is important to the solve, until we hvae a solve. So, my recommendation is that we use the wiki to point out the unsolved puzzles (like the appple charts) and list the key elements that are generally understood (like the Morse code). --AnotherDoth 13:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Symbols for moons

The symbols for the crescent moons still don't work. --AnotherDoth 13:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sean Clark (Artist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sean Clark (Artist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.seanclark.org/about. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
