==Scientolipedia Text Enterer's and Historical Researcher's Corner==¶

In February of this year (2015) I started this page and have added a certain amount to it. After a while I got discouraged, or distracted, and the project went cold or you could say went into apathy! Recently I have looked at it from various points of view (including auditing myself about it) and new life has come into the project. I decided to dump all the books I haven't yet catalogued on the floor with the evil intention of leaving each one there until it had been handled for this project. The result is seen in the following photograph, taken at the beginning of August.

I think this project has a certain importance, perhaps not earthshaking, but I think when it's completed it will demonstrate as a little facet of the history of Scientology that there has always been an effort for people to express themselves and their views on Scientology which sometimes has been accepted by the official body (for a relatively short time).

Additionally there are some fairly comprehensive books in that pile (examples: ''Super Scio'', ''Excalibur Revisited'', ''Self Clearing'') which should not go unrecorded in any comprehensive record of Scientology outside the official body, (they will also take some effort to review them comprehensively.) The original intention, although I use the word books, can better be expressed as publications and would include ''Clear Bird'' which was published on Internet.

 +
When you create a page using one of the Forms, like "Articles", it automatically creates the infobox and puts the page in the "Articles" category.
 +
 
 +
To create the page without the form there are several ways you can do that but the easiest is:
 +
 
 +
1. Type in the name of the page you want to create in the search box in upper right.
 +
e.g. "Antony's Outstanding Adventures" (without quote marks)
 +
 
 +
2. Hit 'enter' and click the Red Link
 +
 
 +
3. put your text in the text area and SAVE the page
 +
 
 +
Since you already created the "Scientology 8-8008" page, I simply removed the 'articles' template and now you have a page without the forced infobox.

 +
Hope that's clear.

Starting an article without a box

[From Dave twenty-first of January 2017]

When you create a page using one of the Forms, like "Articles", it automatically creates the infobox and puts the page in the "Articles" category.

To create the page without the form there are several ways you can do that but the easiest is:

1. Type in the name of the page you want to create in the search box in upper right. e.g. "Antony's Outstanding Adventures" (without quote marks)

2. Hit 'enter' and click the Red Link

3. put your text in the text area and SAVE the page

Since you already created the "Scientology 8-8008" page, I simply removed the 'articles' template and now you have a page without the forced infobox.

Hope that's clear.

International Viewpoints (IVy)

Researching IVy magazine (1991 to 2008)

There is a database, which can be searched under article title or author (surname first): http://ivymag.org/CompleteContents.html .

The Red and Green Volumes, which contain an enormous amount of the non-book writings of L. Ron Hubbard, primarily HCO Bulletins and HCO Policy Letters, can be a valuable source for historical research.
They come in two editions, which you could roughly categorise as before and after Miscavige (I am preparing a partial history of them).
I have them all in a PDF version and I can make them available to anybody interested. ant.phillips@post8.tele.dk (preferred commSlang, short for - communication method).
