this is only one disc of a six disc box set, there is no reason for it to have its own page, and the information here is already listed on The Cult's own wikipage.

*'''Keep'''. It's true that the only place all twelve tracks this "album" appear together is on disc 3 of the ''Rare Cult'' 6-disc box set. However, this doesn't represent the only release of these tracks. For example, The cult released ''The Manor Sessions'' EP in 1988,[http://www.amazon.com/Manor-Sessions-Cult/dp/B000006XXA/] which I see as the belated release of this album. Because no Cult album, EP, or box set was ever named ''Peace'', I think it might be appropriate to change the title of the article. But I oppose its deletion. The Manor Sessions represent an important set of work by this group that spans numerous releases, and clearly documents The Cult's change in musical direction at the time (vis-a-vis Electric). I believe this merits discussion that is too detailed to include solely in [[The Cult]] and/or [[Electric (The Cult album)]].

*'''Delete''' It's not really a comercially released album, as the release was ''only'' within the box-set. This is more analogous a non-notable track on a notable album. This disc is not itself notable, but the box set is. The "extras" discs that come with DVD films are generally not notable by themselves either, even if they star major actors and are in some sense "released". It is the released ''package'' that if worthy of note.[[User:Yobmod|Yobmod]] ([[User talk:Yobmod|talk]]) 15:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC) |

elgooG (Google spelled backwards) is a mirror image of the aol search engine. This page and all the results are displayed in upsidown. The site is called the "Google mirror" as a parody of the term mirror in computing, which never
refers to a copy or backup of another website.[1]
The site was created by Antoni Chan and a group called All Too Flat,[2] who put up various comedy and satire pages on their website. To search on this search engine, a user must type in the keywords backwards for it to understand the search string.
Use in China
elgooG received large usage in China in 2002, as a bypass for Google itself, which has been blocked in that country. Users in China have also used elgooG to access other sites, such as BBC News, that are normally blocked in China.[1][3]
