Request for edits by subject of article
Someone went to the trouble of looking up some of the cite requests.
On Heinlein being an influence. <http://www.culthelp.info/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=2099>http://www.culthelp.info/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=2099
- Culthelp.info is not a RS. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
R.U.Serius is a well known journalist, <http://en.wikipedia.org/R._U._Sirius>http://en.wikipedia.org/R._U._Sirius
This is published interview. You can certainly draw the conclusion that Robert Heinlein had a large influence on Henson's life from that interview.
On University of Arizona and EE degree,

"The blunt, energetic Keith, who has a degree in electrical engineering,"

"Henson also programmed geophysical type cases and wrote data reduction programs for the company"
- Amazon not ok, cite the book inc page no directly. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

- What is this supporting?
"Theoretical Induced Polarization and Resistivity Response for the Dual Frequency System Collinear Dipole-dipole Array: Volume 1 & 2. By Chris S Ludwig, H Keith Henson, Heinrichs Geoexploration Company Published by Heinrichs Geoexploration Co., 1967"
There isn't a published source I can find for how many daughters Henson and Meinel had.
"Henson became familiar with the System dynamics"
<http://www.nss.org/settlement/L5news/L5news/L5news7510.pdf>http://www.nss.org/settlement/L5news/L5news/L5news7510.pdf Someone at L5 News, probably Henson, was up on system dynamics.
- probably is not good enough, form reading this source it appears that Carolyn Henson was the major driver. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

- This is a blog. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
RU: How did your participation and leadership in the L5 society come about?
KH: It was indirectly related to “Limits to Growth” memes that were so active in the early 70s.
"Limits" was based on system dynamics.
"Patents were issued on both subjects vapor phase fabrication and space radiators."

"article by the name of Star Laws, jointly written by Henson and Arel Lucas and published in Reason Magazine."

"It was originally published in *Reason* Magazine, Aug., 1982."
Link is right on the page.
There are other things that might be added such as the oil drum article, but I don't want to do it. Keith Henson (talk) 16:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Above, Jezhotwells intersperses comments. We should discuss each one, because generic objections that might not actually apply in a specific case are being used. For example, the page at culthelp.info is actually a convenience link, not itself the source. Question is, is the original source available? (That's not necessarily the only question, but do consider what is being sourced, it's pretty simple. Henson, by pointing to this source, is validating the interview, and, if it were, for example, self-published, we could still use it if we find it useful as a fact about Henson. I find it interesting!) --Abd (talk) 20:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Not done: The editsemiprotected template is intended to allow non-autoconfirmed users to continue to be able to edit articles which are semiprotected. You are autoconfirmed, so you should be able to do this yourself. Celestra (talk) 19:41, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- If you think it is ok for me to add these cite to the page about me, ok, can do, though I got a lot of flack for doing the same thing (adding requested cites) in the past. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Scientology/Workshop&oldid=292921824 Keith Henson (talk) 02:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hang on, Keith, I think that conversation had its wires crossed. You need an uninvolved editor to make these edits for you. Please post a note at WP:EAR or WP:COIN requesting that your proposed changes be reviewed and potentially acted upon by an uninvolved editor. Regards, Jehochman 02:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I saw this and I've started adding sources. Jehochman, Keith could make the edits, provided that they are not controversial. It's more efficient if he makes them when he finds the sources; he can disclose his COI and ask for review. If he thinks something might be controversial, he can self-revert. (If he is formally banned, this is controversial, but it should be no problem if he isn't.) (edit summary: "adding sources, will self-revert due to COI.") or {edit summary: "adding sources, COI, please revert if discussion needed.") Efficiency. Don't leave home without it. --Abd (talk) 14:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. As a practical matter, because this article is covered by Scientology sanctions and is potentially watched by various accounts trigger happy to file complaints, I think it is a good idea for the subject to use the article talk page. He could edit the article, but it is better for him to use the talk page. Jehochman 19:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- My bad; I didn't realize that Keith couldn't make those changes. Is there some way to know? Celestra (talk) 15:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- You wouldn't have known unless this was made clear. Jehochman 19:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, there was a bit of a clue in the user name! However, Celestra was led astray by the template Henson used to ask for help. --Abd (talk) 20:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
