Astrology & Horoscope articles

I I am trying to keep collaboration and factual information with the Western astrology and Chinese Zodiac signs. What I am trying to think is making two new articles to redirect where all the signs and information are in one article. An article for the list and facts of Western astrology and one for the Chinese zodiac, and other horoscopes. There are repeats of skeptical deletions from among IP and confirmed users who believe it is useless, or in joke when from earlier users it was stated as reliable as facts. In truth I am just stating the facts, the article doesn't mean it is true, it's only stating mythological details, such as a person born in the year of Ra, it is only stating folkore. I would really like to make two articles where I can redirect each sign and paste in to the articles for Western astrology and Chinese Zodiac.

I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking for, here. Content changes - like splitting or merging articles, or large-scale moving of content from one place to another - is something that has to be discussed on the article talk pages, and that should only be done with consensus. Any single user, administrator or not, does not have the authority to do that unilaterally. Suggest your idea (as clearly as possible) on one of those article talk pages, and put a short note on each of the other talk pages pointing to the proposal discussion thread on the first page. Then be prepared for a lot of discussion about the subject (per WP:CONS). --Christopher Thomas (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry, sorry, I copied and pasted and forgot to delete some edits, my purpose was a redirect theory thank you--GoShow (...............) 01:24, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Pseudoscience 'warning' headers

I've raised an issue for discussion at FTN regarding Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pseudoscience#Headers_for_flagging_well-known_pseudoscience_topics:

• Wikipedia_talk:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Pseudoscience_.27warning.27_templates

I'd welcome your feedback about if/when/why these are appropriate in articles. Cheers, Ocaasi ^{t | c} 11:02, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

The removal may have been justified, especially since some of these seem to have gone through xfd years ago, but it was done in the most ham-fisted way possible. I've left a longer response at FTN. --Christopher Thomas (talk) 15:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
