Hey there, welcome! Glad you like the wiki, and I really appreciated your additions to Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). Thanks a lot :) Litso 23:40, 3 August 2008 (CEST)

HolyWood quote

The Worm is likened to "an insignificant shadow looking for his place in an infinite world of light."

Where does this quote come from?

Copy paste

Hello, please know you are welcome here to edit the wiki. However, please do not copy paste directly from wikipedia. We encourage editors to write in their own words. Also, your direct copy paste to the Holy Wood article removed links that were relevant here. Thanks ‡-me-‡ 11:38, 8 August 2010 (UTC) (Admin)

The "original" article was a copy/paste of the Wikipedia article. Besides, the sections I did copy/paste were ones I wrote myself. Red marquis 02:45, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Note

While your content is well written, Readers should not have to be armed with a dictionary in order to understand the points you are attempting to portray. Example: "by the kratocratic plutarchy" just as an example. [god]speed -MansonWiki Admin 12:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Essays

Thanks for adding these :) It was just the other day that I added them to my "to do" list :P ‡-me-‡ - MansonWiki Admin 13:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Concepts

Hi Red, I've been watching your edits and I'm becoming increasingly concerned as the the analytical nature of what you have to add. As mentioned before, we try to strictly avoid analysis and theory as I'm sure you can understand, these things are largely interpretive. We generally like to provide information with references and I've yet to see any? Your contributions are well written as always and it's not that we don't appreciate or understand the concepts that you are discussing by any means, I personally have been very much into interpretation and analysis of Manson's work. However, being an encyclopedic data base, there isn't much room for them. For example: It is written within the Holy Wood concept the "Winter of Discontent" (and its resolution on Valentine's Day), how so? And do you know where this lyric was taken from and why it was used? Or is this your interpretation? If so, I'm sure you can understand that these things are probably best left for private essays or analysis threads. ‡-me-‡ - MansonWiki Admin 08:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Red, first of all I must apologize too. I deliberately questioned you to prove a point. That being that content that is of an analytical nature is not always accurate and probably best left off of the wiki. The term "The Winter of our Discontent" was actually first coined by Shakespeare and put to print in Richard III, 1954. It's relevance in the song President Dead, is that at a 1963 news conference, a reporter questioned Kennedy: "Reporter: "There is some impression and talk in the town and country that your Administration seems to have lost its momentum and to be slowing down and to be moving on the defensive. Could you comment on this feeling in the country?" President Kennedy: "I think we are making some progress so that if you ask me whether this was the 'Winter of Our Discontent', I would say no. If you would ask me whether we were doing quite as well this winter as we were doing in the fall, I would say no, too." Kennedy was assassinated later that year, hence the lyric "we can't all be martyred in the winter of our discontent." ‡-me-‡ - MansonWiki Admin 08:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

If you're looking for somewhere to bounce ideas, concepts and analysis regarding the triptych, here's a good place to start. Rest assured the administration does watch over edits here. While we could write these articles ourselves, we like to encourage fans to add and participate in the creation of Manson Wiki, "for the fans, by the fans." ‡-me-‡ - MansonWiki Admin 11:50, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Give us about 15 minutes, So that <me> can look over it as well. :) [god]speed -MansonWiki Admin 11:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
