Is there any way to prevent users from editing? Not really. There is a page protection method, but it has to be requested after specific articles are regularly, recently vandalized. They can either prevent all anonymous users from editing the page, or in extremes, prevent anyone from editing a page. A request for the former could be made easily, but it would have to demonstrate a good deal of recent vandalism for the proposal to be accepted. And I certainly would not even consider requesting the latter until you think that the article contains everything that you think it needs.
I will today try to set up a task force page for the new Left Hand Path task force. I do think that maybe seeing the religion banner as the biggest one there, and not a more specific "satanist" banner, might help prevent vandalism myself.
Also, I will try (eventually) to set up a specific Articles list for the task force so that all the articles can be monitored for vandalism regularly. This, however, will probably take quite a bit of time, as I am still in the process of creating all the other religion article lists as well and I'm trying to go through them article by article.
Which name would you prefer by the way: work group or task force? Both options are in current use, and I think it's probably best to be your call which one should be used. Also, is there a specific image you would like to see on the Left Hand Path tab?
By the way, if there ever arises a situation where you think that there may be a three reversion rule problem, contact me and we can try to get the matter resolved without anyone getting hurt.

So my housemate is telling me that the article on Luciferianism is incorrect. He is saying that the worship of Lucifer as the God of Heaven and Earth is a more correct definition of Luciferianism in the traditional sense. Do you have any insight into this?
In general, how can I support you? My housemate turns out to be an old-school Luciferian who is also LaVey-educated, so that's a plus. He's not online, but I am. He doesn't have any books currently, but he knows what to get, and we've got good resources to buy them here. Let me know, Nina Odell 14:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm figuring to create the subproject page as soon as I get a clear idea as to whether you want it to be a task force or a work group. It will probably determine how any subsequent subprojects get named, and I don't think I'm the one who should decide that. Also, I have no intention of getting you or the Big Guy mad at me for choosing the wrong name. :) Badbilltucker 23:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
You were one of the parties who indicated an interest in the Left Hand Path group on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals page. The project is now active at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Left Hand Path work group, and all the names from the proposed project page have been transferred to the new active page.

We've unfortunately been experiencing some rather severe vandalism from your IP range, but as long as you are logged in you should be fine. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I have written an article for the book Hail Satan which is a collection of Satanic poetry. A christian user on Wikipedia seems upset and zealous in his efforts to have the article deleted. He has accused the article of vanity, whereas the article reads unbiased. The user in question also argues notability, yet the traffic log for the article since May shows over 1,000 visits. The article has also been accused of lacking sources, yet since this accusation proper sources have been added. The behavioral pattern however is arbitrary meaning when vanity is addressed and leveled - notability is argued, when notability is addressed and leveled - sources are argued. On the surface this seems less to do with an encyclopedic article's pertinence to Satanism and the Occult and rather the concern of christian users on Wikipedia to silence modern representations of Satanism in literature. I want to reach out to you in assuming unbiased concern and ask for your input and participation in the discussion of this article's deletion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hail_Satan_(book) blackson 07:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I'm trying to keep updated the list of members of the project. I see that you haven't had any activity since more than 3 years. So I will remove you from the list of members. But don't worry, any time you want to come back, please do so. Just add yourself back again to the list. Thank you. - Legion fi ( talk) 11:43, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
