Munay-Ki Page

I am a relatively new user and have just added a Munay-Ki page. The page describes what it is. Its a branch of the Shamanic area. I would assume the members of this project may have an interest in how this fits within the spirituality categories (assuming you agree it does) I worked on this first draft for a few days before uploding. It has quite a lot of references and cross-references, but I want to spend more time building it out, and doing more research on credible material on the subject. Any critiques for a new user would be appreciated. Phil Auckland (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Popular pages

User:Mr.Z-man has a new service available to various requesting WikiProjects which gives the project a monthly update of the number of hits on the 1,000 most frequently accessed articles for that project. An example of such a listing can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Popular pages. Would the members of this project be interested in getting such a list for their use?

Call for editors to help manage religion related content

List of religious organizations

Hi. The article List of religious organizations is in need of serious help. It was in an abandoned state and discussed for deletion, however I feel it has strong potential to become a useful list. But it needs lots of help and collaboration. Is someone of you interested? --Cyclopia^talk 23:46, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

What constitutes spirituality

I believe that spirituality consists of something that affects the spirit in a supernatural way. You cannot judge another person's spirituality based on your lack of or present spiritual beliefs. Thereby Wicca and Satanism come under the category of spiritual although any God religious person would scoff at the idea that Satanism can be spiritual because it is akin to worshiping anti-God. But it is affecting the spirit and therefore is another form of spirituality. So is it not Wikipedia's role to incorporate all the forms of spirituality, as it is required to do as an encyclopedia? Does Wikipedia editors have the right to judge the truth or lie of a incorporated listing? Or is it their job to keep the facts clear and maintain the structure of facts based on the existence of these spiritual groups? Does a church make a group spiritual? And likewise, does a spiritual group have to be a church? I believe that a church is a name for a certain group of spiritual functions, but that spirituality is not a church by any means. Thereby spiritual needs to be defined so that people and their beliefs do not interfere with what is spiritual or is non spiritual.

It would be quite inappropriate if Wikipedia judged listings on such bases. Instead, it judges those by criteria such as WP:N. Tb (talk) 06:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Trance

"I" am reading The Meter Neter Volume 1(The Great Oracle of Tehuti and the Egyptian System of Spiritual Cultivation) by Ra Un Nefer Amen. He writes about how trance was/is a major element to Kamitian (Eygptian Religious Practices) but on this topic of Trance, nothing is refer to or mention about it. Why?
