I added a citation to her biography in response to a {verify} tag. If there are specifics about verification or POV issues, I've opened up this page for discussion of them.Archimboldo 18:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spidermedicine,

The claim that the word niscience is similar to the word gnosis, as far as I can tell, has no basis in etymology.

Omniscience is from omni (all) scire (to know). While the word Niscience was used by some in the philosophy of ontology, in Ann Ree Colton's writings it is truly a neologism. Removing the "om" from "omniscience" really severs the word meaning all, hence niscience can't be considered a tweaking of the word omniscience.

If you believe there is a reason to show similarity of "gnosis" and "niscience", please give your discussion and we can add that sentence back.Archimboldo (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced[edit]

This article is essentially unsourced and should be reduced to a stub containing only verifiable facts. - - MrBill3 (talk) 17:23, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slow edit warring is still edit warring[edit]

Content has been repeatedly removed (three times this month). Edit warring over time is still edit warring. The removals lack appropriate edit summaries and there has been no discussion here. - - MrBill3 (talk) 08:43, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MrBill3, Note that I'm not the person who removed your edit and generally take a laissez-faire position on articles. I won't remove anything factual. But I do think the following point needs to be made and considered.

Your link is only a fact in that it is a reference to one person's opinion, though so labeled only implicitly. Every public figure has supporters or opponents with opinions that range from accurate to very biased.

What is misleading about the link, is that the person's opinion was about the ORGANIZATION after ARC's death while it was under the leadership of ARC's husband, Jonathan Murro. Incidentally, while others have different opinions, I more or less agree that the ORGANIZATION did eventually become cult-like, mostly because of Jonathan Murro's power hungry second wife. BUT ...

The article is about Ann Ree Colton, not the organization. I would recommend you move it to a section on the Niscience organization if you insist on having it somewhere - as you seem to be very invested in doing.

Update: after waiting more than a month for a justification of why the external link does not belong on a page devoted to the organization that followed ARC's passing, rather than this biographical page, I have removed it from here. MrBill3 is free to put it on the Niscience page if he really wants that badly for the link to appear somewhere.

Notability[edit]

I see some sources online, but it's not significant. Please message me if you want to either fix the issues, or deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bearian,

A clicked on the notability link. The criteria are qualitative and not quantitative, so some judgment does enter into the picture.

Next, I clicked on a few articles that were not flagged with a notability question. Again, no objective judgment seems possible.

If you deem the article to be not notable, you can delete it. I posted it because I deemed it of interest, but your mileage may vary.

Best,
