Gnosticism
This is probably a copyright violation, because the author states that the original text was from http://groups.msn.com/parabrahm/. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 02:43, 30 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm the copyright holder for that text and I'm the one that posted it here. I'm also the manager of the group where it was originally posted. What should I do to keep it here? - Hekatee
 * Well, you need to prove to us that you are who you say you are; just email me at [mailto:masterthiefster@gmail.com] and say "hi Wikibooks can use our content" or whatever and I'll confirm it here. Just to be all official and whatnot. GarrettTalk 22:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * And what does that prove? The SMTP protocol is easily subverted. I can send you an email which looks like it's from Bill Gates himself. - Aya T C 18:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Explaining your situation should be enough :) Greenman 8 July 2005 12:40 (UTC)


 * Delete: This is a fork of gnosticism. Should be merged in there until the point where there's enough content to justfy a whole book on the subject. - Aya 8 July 2005 17:30 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep pending expansion. I agree with Aya that this has less info than the Wikipedia page, but if the group is going to work on it together it could grow into a fascinating resource--look at how the San Andreas guide expanded due to GameFAQs input. However if you're not planning on making a vast book (or, at least, an book superior in depth to the WP article) you might consider taking things to the Wikipedia entry; then when it gets too fat it can spill out back to here :) GarrettTalk 22:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but if a user plans to write a whole book for which there is an existing Wikipedia article, they should at least ensure it contains all the information in that article. The easiest way is to fork from Wikipedia, and clearly mark the article as having a corresponding Wikibook on the subject. Oddly enough, the GTA:SA books doesn't have all the info from the Wikipedia article. Perhaps this should be corrected? - Aya T C 18:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
