Intriguing. I'd love to read some more transcripts. ;)

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1419.
It's definitely not bad and I did enjoy it, but it felt too stagnant to me so I'm going to hold off voting until I can make up my mind.
I feel similar. I'm not sure why this is an anomalous object that affects the normalcy of human life and therefore needs to be contained. Might make a good Tale or something, but maybe not an object.
I figured it would be contained because people would be freaked out if they knew about it. If you were flipping channels and came across an Aztec sacrifice ritual, wouldn't you be concerned?
But, your opinion is your opinion, and I understand it.
In the transcripts, I think "two more axes added diagonally" should probably not have the "more" because crosses don't usually have axes on them.
In this case, "axes" is the plural of "axis". The standard cross has 2 axes (horizontal & vertical), the new one has 2 more running diagonal. I'm envisioning a shape like an asterisk where they all meet.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
Ah. Might want to make that a bit clearer, the burn damage mentioned in that one made me imagine fire axes forming an X over the cross, like some sort of weird Pyro cult.
This is what I came here to post about - perhaps elements would be a better word than axes?
Or "with two extra pieces of wood attached diagonally, creating a six pointed star shape"
Hm… it's an interesting concept, but I can't upvote until it's made more clearly anomalous.
if your reading this your gay
1) If the Foundation can make sense of a language made of Latin, Greek and Cherokee, I suspect they'd have no trouble with a text in 13th century English.
2) Chirstmas?
3) The signal seems to be off for way more than 85% of the time
4) The asterisk cross should be in 1982 or its position in the table moved.
Most seriously, the tone is wrong. Why aren't they jamming this signal like they are with Bobble's channel? Also:
Just because several places of worship choose the same theme on a certain day does not mean anything abnormal is going on.
The Foundation is occasionally deaf to irony or the fact that it can't get rid of 682 whatever it tries, but it's not that stupid. I'm surprised the rabbis aren't spending the rest of their lives in containment being hypnotised to examine their memories to see what made them do it.
Downvoted for now, though I do like many aspects of this.
1) That's a valid point. Give me a moment while I fix that.
2) If you're asking why I refer to the transcript as such, I'll fix that now.
3) The broadcasts last for about an hour, at best. They don't occur very often in the year. That's 1/8,760 hours in the year. That's about a hundredth of one percent. Then again, this isn't stated in the article at all and this is a valid complaint.
4) I…I don't understand what that means.
Huh…you have many valid points I should address.
I've switched to upvote, thanks. Chirstmas is mentioned in the table at one point-is that intentional because this is a different God? The other thing is that you have a Christmas Day (Chirstmas Day) 1981 broadcast (saying what language Father Pachacutec used would be nice) and then below it a May 1981 broadcast (the asterisk cross thing). For the 85% thing, just say it broadcasts rarely and has only once broadcast twice in the same year? Sorry about nit-picking-I don't like changing other people's work behind their backs.
it was discovered that the only contact between the original owners and "Learning With God" was through e-mails.
Not if Learning With God bought the frequency in 1964 or earlier in time to warn us about the Sin Of Guidance…
Document 1419-34 purposely left out but mentioned twice? Either remove the mention of it or do something with it. I don't like loose ends.
Since I'm Jewish, I feel that I should mention that Torah readings are always supposed to be in order, over the course of a year- pretty much every synagogue would read the same portions at the same Shabbat.
Similarly, in Catholic churches, the readings follow a 3 year cycle. You always know what the scripture readings will be for any Mass simply by looking it up.
Records indicate the signal is owned by
When discussing ownership, I'm pretty sure you'd use "broadcast license" instead of "signal".
The papers regarding the signal's ownership were faxed to a non-existent address, and were sent back signed by a "Mr. Discodei" the following morning.
Faxes are sent to phone numbers, not addresses.
Also, I kind of doubt that a television broadcasting license can be legally transferred without the involvement of the government in some manner.
The area appears to be sterilized,
How could one determine that just by looking at a TV broadcast?
with two more axes added diagonally,
"Axis" is the wrong technical term to use, since they have nothing to do with rotation, don't split the cross across a line of bilateral symmetry, and don't define a Cartesian coordinate system.
A group of African men are gathered around a large fire. Above the fire is a rotating pole, which has impaled a large bird.
This broadcast doesn't seem to match the others, since the only odd thing about it is the huge bird, which doesn't have anything to do with religion.
There are several Stars of David carved in the trench, which the children ignore.
Why would the children be expected to pay attention to them?
The incident [human sacrifice cult] was initially dismissed,
It seems to me that either:
1) The Foundation has things set up so that as a matter of routine it's notified about anything having to do with human sacrifice (or cult activity, or whatever), in which case it wasn't "dismissed" but simply filed away with all the other notifications they got.
2) Whoever reported the incident to the Foundation thought there was an anomalous element to it, and it was dismissed as non-anomalous, but the article doesn't say what was supposed to have been anomalous about it.
When discussing ownership, I'm pretty sure you'd use "broadcast license" instead of "signal".
True, and fixed.

I'm not sure how to fix that. Not to say that I can't, or that I shouldn't, but…I'm not sure how.
"Axis" is the wrong technical term to use, since they have nothing to do with rotation, don't split the cross across a line of bilateral symmetry, and don't define a Cartesian coordinate system.
What is the correct term?
It affects minds. Just say that while this violated procedure everyone involved seemed to believe for unknown reasons that Learning With God were an appropriate owner of a TV station and no authentication was needed.
And about the broadcasting license: the license is only needed to broadcast legally. Unless its important to portray the broadcasters as law-abiding, they can just make due without the license.
While that is true, I think the broadcasters may see themselves as ethical, in their dimension at least. And it gets the 'Learning with God' name out there and the name of the station owner. Though it could have this as a signal at the start of every broadcast for added weird. But I'd love to know: is this meant to be sinister and controlling or done by weird people from a parallel universe who somehow think they're doing the right thing?
Regardless, I like them better as a blandly-named creepy corporation than a series of anonymous TV intrusions.
This broadcast doesn't seem to match the others, since the only odd thing about it is the huge bird, which doesn't have anything to do with religion.
Disagree: maybe this is an alternate-universe form of Islam which believes in the importance of sacrifice? Or maybe they're doing something like saying grace? (I don't know if there's a Muslim equivalent to this.)
