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.

Dave

Ability and other early Scientology magazines

Ability was the American magazine, originally issued to members, in the 1950s and early 60s and there were two other magazines prior to them. To my (Ant's) knowledge they are not available on the net but I have searchable digital copies which I can pass on to others. There were also two or three "squirrel" magazines, of which the Abberee (query spelling) is one.

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 .

There are PDFs of every number at the following: http://articles.ivymag.org/pdfs.html

The individual issues are in PDF files. Each issue can be loaded and searched as is normal with PDF files.

Note:Antony A Phillips (talk) 07:46, May 28, 2016 (CDT) at one point I found that some IVy PDFs were not searchable (not in text format) and somebody offered me another set which are searchable; let me know if you runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) into trouble with one which is not searchable: ant.phillips@post8.tele.dk .

There are a few individual issues which specialise in one subject, for example:
Mary Sue Hubbard: http://articles.ivymag.org/pdf/IVy74.pdf
The Pilot (Ken Ogger): http://articles.ivymag.org/pdf/IVy83.pdf

Ken Urquhart wrote some articles discussing and correcting material in Jon Atak's book A Piece of Blue Sky. These are collected at: http://freezoneearth.org/ivy/bluesky/index.htm

After Antony ceased editing IVy in 2008 Rolf Krause took over and converted it into a PDF/Internet edition and continued for a few years. You find the contents to this and the PDF files of each issue at the following link: http://ivymag.org/cyberivy/signupform.html

The Free Spirit" later called "Free Spirit Journal"

Unfortunately IVys main competitor, The Free Spirit, later called Free Spirit Journal, has not been digitalised or posted on Internet. IVy concentrated on Scientology and ex-Scientology, whereas The Free Spirit and Free Spirit Journal covered a wider field. However Antony has 10 to 20 copies of many Free Spirit (Journals) and is willing to send them to anyone willing to pay the postage.

Reconnection

This was probably/possibly the first FriScientology magazine after the Exodus (about 1983). Reconnection was a newsletter published by Jon Atack in the United Kingdom after the departure and expulsion of many long-standing, dedicated Scientologists in the early 80s. Much of this turmoil followed the San Francisco Missionholders Conference of 1982. The following link has the substance of the first four issues of Reconnection (1983 and 1984, the original formatting is not retained): http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/read/reconnection/

Red and Green Volumes

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). They are also available in the Scientolipedia torrent files under "The Essential Written Materials". With the whole set of PDF files you can search them all or a single volume for a specific item.
