Welcome to the '''Left Hand Path work group''' of the Religion WikiProject! 

==Scope==
This task force seeks to create, improve, maintain, and provide a standard of consistency for articles about the [[Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path|Left-Hand Path]] and related beliefs with a neutral and NPOV tone, as well as create a forum in which interested editors can work together to improve articles.

==Tagging articles==
Any article related to this task force should be marked with "LeftHandPath=yes" to the {{tl|WPReligion}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion#Usage|project banner instructions]] for more details on the exact syntax).  This will automatically place it into [[:Category:Left Hand Path work group articles]].

The resulting code is usually:

<pre>{{WPReligion
|class=
|importance=
|LeftHandPath=yes
}}</pre>

== To-do ==
* Find objective sources! Articles, encyclopedias, etc.
to being the construction of a realistic page content that makes <I>use</I> of those documents, or others which are offline and available to project managers and/or editors.
* Tag articles!
* Recruit more members!
* Collaborate and '''''[[:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion/Left Hand Parth work group|join the discussions]]'''. If you know things, teach! (If you don't know things, Ask.)''
* Add new articles! There are plenty of short stories and writers still unaccounted for! 
* Expand articles (or merge if appropriate).  
* Start looking for [[WP:FA|featured]] articles and [[WP:FL|lists]] while getting familiar with and helping with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Assessment|assessment]] of religion articles. Add any new articles to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Left Hand Path work group/Articles|Articles]] page.
*Monitor these pages with the [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Religion/Left Hand Path work group/Articles|recent changes]] function for improvements, other changes, and vandalism.
* ''Add things here''!
: * Satanism Page - finding objective sources has been done within the archives, and now it has preliminarily been identified as compared to how the page is being updated (without citations). next we need people to start using these cited sources to construct realistic historical narratives and current evaluations. right now what is happening is that people are occasionally merely writing text and failing to cite anything whatever, leading to repeat removals.

# An elderly man was trying to take his luggage and observe the Millenium Biltmore Hotel, as he was struggling in the hall section. All the other people just passed by him as if he wasn't even there. They practically ignored him. As the Pagan Day Festival was ending at another section of the hotel, Satanists stood and offered the elderly man help. Suddenly everyone is at an awe. All the hotel guests that was present knew what was the right thing to do, but the Satanists were the only ones who did it. -- [[User:"Knife" Sotelo|"Knife" Sotelo]] 11:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

# Interested to ensure that Buddhist concepts and references are not mischaracterized as they appear to be in the exisiting article.  Certainly the Theravada entry is an erroneous characterization.  m-, September 12, 2007
# Devoted but more Theistic than LHP, also I have to admit I don't want the stigma- maybe that makes me a LaVeyan as it's a matter of self-furtherance.:) [[User:Sticky Parkin|<b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b>]] [[User talk:Sticky Parkin|<b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b>]] 17:08, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
