I think I have mentioned this but I cannot find it. HOWEVER: I have just gone to Joan de Veulle page (there is something valuable in the interview). When I clicked on the interview to hear it I got some sort of a notice asking me if it was okay to open flash and at the same time telling me that flash will not be supported after 2020 (exact wording forgotten). Are steps being taken to see that MP3 files on the site are available? (This is on Windows 10)
It's working in Firefox but not in Chrome????
Don't know whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II)
- will have to investigate...
It is working on Chrome now but gives me a warning that it would stop at end 2020. I just ran into this link which should help you: https://blog.chromium.org/2017/07/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-flash.html .
The article on Bevan Preece contains a 2 hour MP3 file. It does not work on my computer (Windows 10) and it does not work on the computer of one of those I sent the page link to. I am reduced to copying the MP3 file link and sending it to my list. Unfortunately I do not have the horsepower to correct the Scientolipedia page (I think I do not, at any rate I do not know how to). Can someone handle? It is an important historical interview concerning the split from the "church".

With the search term "scientology wiki" I get 100 hits only on Google. None of them are to this site.
On Yahoo! I get 658,000 hits but no mention of this site among the first 200 hits.
On Yandex I get this site as hit #43.
On Bing I get 2,290,000 hits but no mention of this site among the first 200 hits.
I get 50 hits only on Qwant. None of them are to this site.
Try searching "Yvonne Gilham Jentzsch" - it will come up #1.
Same for many other individuals and topics.
I didn't design the SEO for "Scientology wiki" as that is a very unlikely search term.
That said, SEO is a constant process and I welcome any suggestions on how to improve.
FYI - I've told you that converting to a responsive skin is a high priority - the reason is for aesthetics and ease of use but also for SEO reasons.
The search engines aren't constricted to locating sites which have had key words added manually the way you are doing. That us merely for tweaking emphasis. To me "Scientology wiki" searches should clearly yield this website at a very high rank. I read your opinion about this being a very unlikely search term with much astonishment.
Many pages are biographies submitted by the person being presented. These are often written using the first person. This makes me unsure whether or not these can be edited by me. And if so, to what extent? Mere copy-editing? Re-structuring, creating section headers and so forth? Adding material found elsewhere? Antony Phillips has expressed enthusiasm that I am doing editing on his page. Others, however, especially many being not used to the wiki concept of communal responsibility for content might instead be offended.
Should they perhaps all be changed to read using the third person?
The biographies and auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn. An auditor applies standard technology to preclears. 3. a person who through church training becomes skilled in the successful application of Dn and Scn to his family, friends and the public to achieve the ability gained as stated on the Gradation Chart for his class of training...more pages should not be changed to third person.
I would suggest you stick to copy editing if there's typos, misspellings etc.
An area that needs work is the books need summaries / introductions about their contents. The book The Way To Happiness, off the top of my head, also needs to be expanded to include more chapters for example. But almost all of them are lacking introductory summaries.
The streaming service needs to be fixed and managed by someone as a priority.
FYI, this site has articles discussing Scientology and are peoples' opinions or feelings about the subject and the founder rather than historical narratives. I allowed the former as the site was growing because I wanted to encourage participation and was evolving the vision for the site.
I don't want more personal opinions about the techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) or LRHL. Ron Hubbard, I want the site to be a repository for actual historical testimony - listings of Scientology materials and practitioners - factual in other words, as opposed to opinion.
Which pages should have the Discus discussions added, i.e. the {{DISQUS}} template at the bottom of the page?
Testing this Liquid Threads extension - based on a report from Halvor Raknesthat it wasn't working.
It's working as it's intended.
Find the "Start a new Discussion" link on any "discussion/Talk" page, or on other pages such as this Help page, where the Liquid Threads extension is used.
The problema problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing. You’ve got two forces or two ideas which are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right there. All right, now with these two things one stuck against the other you get a sort of a timelessness, it floats in time. (SH Spec 82, 6111C21) 2 . a problem is a postulate-counter-postulate resulting in indecision. That is the first manifestation of problems, and the first consequence of a problem is indecision. (SH Spec 27, 6107C11) 3 . a multiple confusion. (SH Spec 26X, 6107C03) 4 . an intention counter-intention that worries the preclear. (HCOB 23 Feb 61) 5 . a problem is the conflict arising from two opposing intentions. A present time problem is one that exists in present time, in a real universe. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 6 . something which is persisting, the as-is-ness of which cannot be attained easily. (PRO 16, 5408CM20) wasn't posting. It was posting with certain links. The Liquid Threads extension (I surmise) simply wouldn't allow me to submit the chunk of text and "code" in that postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at.

The SEO (search engine optimization) extension is now installed on the site and available for use. You can get an idea about it here
This allows us to give search engines a 'description', 'keywords' and 'title' for individual pages on the site.
- The 'description' is what gets displayed beneath search results in google or other search engines.
- The key words (or phrases) are not displayed but search engines scan pages for these and use them as a basis for when, where and how to list a page in search results.
- The title can be adjusted if something should be appended to it or if the name should appear differently in searches than it does on the site.
The code is usually put at the bottom of pages and looks like this"
{{#seo:
|title=Your page title
|titlemode=replace
|keywords=these,are,your,keywords
|description=Your meta description
}}
Here is the actual code from this page:
{{#seo:
|title=Scientolipedia Site Development Forum
|titlemode=replace
|keywords=Scientolipedia,scienntolipedia site development,help scientolipedia,help tell the truth about scientology
|description=The Scientolipedia Site Development Page is a forum where users can get help with and share ideas about developing the Scientolipedia website.
}}
note:- the 'description' must not contain more than 170 characters.
- There can be any number of 'key words' (or phrases) but good sense tells us not to go overboard - too many will be ineffective and may send a message to the search engines we are trying to spam them. Use relevant, common sense words or phrases which you think people might enter into a search query when looking for information on the topic of the page. They must be separated by comma's.
I will create more information about this new SEO feature and soon, I hope, it will be incorporated into the forms for pages so it will be a simple process to fill in the fields on the forms and the SEO will be taken care of that way.
To see how this looks embedded in the code, press Ctrl+U. A screen will pop up with the code for this page and you will find the "meta description", "meta keywords" and Title in the top section.
This new capability gives us greater control over the search engines and will increase traffic to the website. Yay!
Interesting. Seems worth trying to wrap ones wits around.
I have just added the following to the Steve Bisbey page (where I was adding a picture). Interesting task - you have to "imagine" the reality of countless searchers! Any comments, reverend Editor ( :-) ) :
#seo: |title=Steve Bisbey |titlemode=replace |keywords=Bisbey, Bisby, TIR, Traumatic Incident Reduction, PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, handling trauma, prepcheck, unblocking, deblocking, incident reduction |description=Obituary and short biography of Steve Bisbey, who was a mental health practitioner and author resident in the London Home Counties.
That does not quite duplicate what I wrote - Any one can see what I actually wrote (perhaps only if logged in) by pressing edit for the last section of the page, and then pressing cancel when they have looked.
What does |titlemode=replace do?
Reported and verified error message when trying to upload an image in the .png format.
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function iconv() in /home/dl88008/public_html/w/includes/media/PNGMetadataExtractor.php on lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) 249"
Workaround is to change image files to .JPG, which works, until the issue with .PNG is fixed.
Will postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) fix notice here.
On the Jack Horner page right at the top I removed apostrofi after ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.. This resulted in the definition of ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation. no longer showing up when you put the mouse cursor over it. Is there a handling of this?
No, as far as the computer is concerned, removing the apostrophe changes the word to four letters.
If you want to be syntactically correct AND show the definition - do something like...
"He ran [[ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.
Which will give either
This "He ran ACCs..."
or
This "He ran ACC's..."
OR - you could create a new glossary item for "ACCsAdvanced Clinical Courses - ACCs - one of a number of theory and research courses usually delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation. They were the highest training level, senior to professional auditor (HPA/HCA) and Bachelor of Scientology (B.Scn.), and were experimental. Jack Horner was the only other person who was in charge of an ACC." (with the same definition as for "ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.") and the mouse-over will work for when that is used.
I've lost the data on how I make a footnote. Can you give me a hint.
Images on Wikimedia Commons can be displayed on this site without having to upload them to our server.
One simply copies the file name from wikimedia commons with the wiki syntax normally used to display images on a page and it magically appears on our site - as if we had it on our server.
This image at Wikimedia Commons:

I have made a template at:http://scientolipedia.org/info/Template:LRHbook1951 . I have tested it at:http://scientolipedia.org/info/Self_Analysis and it doesn't work. Can you see what I've done wrong or failed to do? All best wishes, Antony
The Scientology Books Category is new and a sub-category of the Library Category
At a future date, when development catches up with our ideas, all of these will be included in a master category called 'Scientology Materials' wherein we will utilize the advanced features of this website's ability to organize the data about the materials via form fields as we do now with other areas such as Auditor pages, Personal Profile pages (biographies), Glossary pages and others.
The Scientology Books Category needs pages created for ALL of the Scientology books. (only about a half a dozen have been created thus far) A digital copy which is downloadable from this website needs to be uploaded along with a picture of the book.
NOTE: the above are the minimal requirements for each page. Each page needs further edits to include a full description of the book, publish date, ISBN number and any other information concerning the book so that anyone coming to the site can readily get a comprehensive description of the book.
NOTE 2: The digital copies have not been verified for accuracy. The project to verify and certify 100% faithful replicas of the original works is a much broader project than this site is able to undertake at this time but we encourage anyone with verified copies to contact us with them so we may replace the ones we have if they are lacking in some regard from the original works of L Ron Hubbard
We appreciate any help you can give on this project.
The easy way for us to play videos is to use a simple code on a web page so the page will display and play a video from a video service like Youtube, Vimeo etc.
E.g. Vimeo code (a Youtube video would be the same except the name Youtube would replace Vimeo in the code):
{{#widget:Vimeo|id=14485635|width=600|height=500}}
The above code identifies the video as coming from Vimeo, its "id"(taken from the url for the video), and it's height and width.
This is a fast and simple way to place videos on pages.
The more difficult way to display a video is when we want to put the video on our own server and play it.
In this casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) we need to upload the video to our server in Two Different Formats so the video will play on all browsers as well as on mobile devices such as phones and tablets.
E.g. A typical video will be in ".wmv" format which needs to be converted to ".mp4" and ".webm" formats. (a 150MB video in .wmv format will typically take 1 1/2 hours each, to convert to the two needed formats.
Each separate formatted video needs to then be uploaded to our server - which can take approx 1/2 hour for a 150MB file.
A "poster" image then needs to be uploaded. This is the image seen on the video screen prior to playing.
A sample of the code we then put on the page:
<HTML5video width="600" height="500" autoplay="false" loop="false" poster="TheFactofClearing_image.PNG">580704 CCAbbreviation for 1. Celebrity Centre, 2. Clearing Course. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).-01 THE FACT OF CLEARING</HTML5video>
The above includes the usual height, width parameters as well as the name of the video file and name of the poster to be used.
For a full description of the software used to display videos on our server see:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HTML5video
Summary It is far easier to display videos hosted on outside services like Youtube and Vimeo than it is to host them on our own servers.
In rare cases, where we want to preserve the material to ensure it will always be available, the extra effort is well worth the extra work.
