Huh?!?::

Can anyone explain why a page on a Rasta concept has a discography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.144.43 (talk) 06:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Because someone hijacked an article about a Prince Far I album and turned it into a dictionary definition (with the tracklisting still attached).--Michig (talk) 07:14, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. The concept is now this article, Livity, and the album named after the concept is now the article "Livity (album)". —Sburke (talk) 07:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

• This article was initially created in 2005 to present an album. It was hijacked by an editor in 2009, while attempting to create a dictionary definition for the concept by the same name. It was then restored after the hijacking was discovered. The "fix" to the article merely hijacked the article again. You are welcome to attempt to create another article about the "concept", but don't be surprised if it is deleted in accordance with WP:NOTDICDEF.

• I apologize for this mix-up, and thank you for setting things right. I thought I had read "far enough" back in the revision history, but I didn't, so I got it backwards about what was muddled into what. I looked at French Wikipedia fr:Livity and figured that that was reflecting the original state of things than the English was at-- whereas, well, not. Anyhoo, thanks for making sense of this, because I sure didn't. (I blame this on the stinking white resinous smoke circulating around my room! Although the fact that it's all coming from my GPU might be something I should look into.) Now, as to an entry on the Rasta religious concept of Livity, I ask your advice: I presume it should have a name of the sort "Livity (...something else...)"-- but I'm not familiar enough with naming conventions in this sort of situation to know quite what it should be. It's a core concept in Rastafarian spirituality, and the term isn't used by anyone else, so "Rastafarian Livity" might possibly be read as implying that there's other kinds of Livity going around? Or maybe that's not the way these things work. So... "Livity (spiritual concept)"? "Livity (Rasta)"? I would guess the last one to be apt, on analogy with "Grace (Christianity)"— but maybe better naming practices have evolved since "Grace (Christianity)" article was set up. —Sburke (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

• Kudos to you for trying. I can honestly see how the article history is messed up. I would create the article in a subpage of your userspace. Since others have objected to the content as a dictionary definition, just create it there and then ask for input, maybe from User:Michig. I would go with Livity (spiritual concept), then create a redirect from Livity (Rasta). You could even ask for assistance at WP:WikiProject Religion. Hope this helps.
