Talk versus Discussion

This is the thread's initial revision.

In doing research for the entry I just made on Books - How to Choose Your People, I ran into the Talk page for the Wikipedia article on the Tone scale. Found it most interesting, particularly with regard to Wikipedias attitude and handling of Scientology. It is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tone_scale . I mention it here because up to now I had identified Wikipedias "Talk" with Scientolipedia's "Discussion" (because it is at the same place - rather woolly thinking, perhaps).

In fact in preparing http://scientolipedia.org/info/Books_–_Scientology_–_excluding_LRH_books I have referred to the discussion page, invited people to use it to discuss the best presentation of short summaries of non LRHL. Ron Hubbard books, and put two items in, thinking that its purpose was the same as Wikipedia's "Talk" page. So now I need to know what is the purpose of the "Discussion" page if it is different from Wikipedia's "Talk", and if it is different, where can I get to discuss the make up of a page giving brief details of non LRHL. Ron Hubbard Scientology books?

I might add that I do not feel that discussion (on a part of Scientology) is relevant to Scientolipedia. There are blogs and lists and forums and facebook, and god knows what next will duck up, but anything claiming to be a pedia, which I take to mean it is an encyclopedia of a certain area, should concern itself with facts, not discussion, and the only discussion would be about how best to communicate those facts, which is what I thought the talk page was about. I have a relatively large amount of data on non LRHL. Ron Hubbard Scientology books, not to mention other things experienced in 60 years contact with this (for some) accursed subject, and want to make it available on Internet, rather than have the whole world storming my flat to see and hear for themselves :-)
