Report

Why are only the negative results from the report included in this article? Shouldn't we include the entire report in the article or just link to it? Why only quote half of it?68.50.107.40 21:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Brian[reply]

"Mysterious Nature" section

There has to be a better way to do this... filling it with terminology that only makes sense to those who have been on Kairos (live the fourth etc.) is unprofessional and not in keeping with Wiki standards. For now, I reverted to an older version -- if someone wants to work on developing a better version of this please do. 72.49.114.130 (talk) 02:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Process" section

Look, there has to be a better way of maintaining secrecy than blanking sections. It's just not professional. I appreciate that some degree of secrecy is necessary, but the things in the process section are common knowledge at schools where Kairos plays a big role. It's a possible candidate for a rewrite by someone who knows more than I, but overall it looks fine to me.72.49.114.130 (talk) 03:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

---I understand that it is unprofessional to leave blank spaces, but if we leave all this information about Kairos in public view, it squashes the "mysterious nature" and essentially the true purpose of Kairos. Leaving this info available to anyone who searches Wikipedia about Kairos before going on one basically destroys the spiritual purpose of the retreat and spoils the entire thing. Until someone can come up with a better way of writing more about Kairos without revealing every single event that goes on there, I believe that it should be better to leave things blank. Therefore, I have removed info which breaks the secrecy of Kairos, but left some info there which is mildly descriptive but not too vague as to what Kairos is about Worldnewser (talk) 00:05, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~I have restored the information,~~ as Wikipedia is not censored. This is an encyclopedia, & we can't remove relevant, verifiable information from secondary sources in order to protect the wrong eyes from seeing it. All of this information in this article already available on the Internet. If someone would like to keep it secret, they would be advised to avoid an uncensored encyclopedia article on the subject. hmwith τ 01:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I hadn't seen the article in a while, & I assumed that you were simply talking about the state of the article the last time I read it. Information in any Wikipedia article must be verifiable and have reliable sources. There is no place for original research on any article. I removed all of the unsourced information. Please do not re-add any information without references. hmwith τ 01:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
