Talk:Scientology and hypnosis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love the idea of the article, but it's atrociously written and filled with misspellings and POV. Needs LOTS of work. wikipediatrix 16:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

If they are allowed, I hope some practicing Scientologists add their perspective on this subject. Zeke pbuh 17:31, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, the page needs a lot of work. I made one quick edit to remove the word "homosexuality" from a list including rape and murder. (before the edit: "murder, rape, homosexuality and other criminal and disgraceful behaviour") Calling homosexuality criminal or disgraceful is inappropriate POV, and the issue being addressed is more clearly explained in the "Hallucination" section.--M0ng010id 15:37, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I am tagging this article for deletion. Hypnosis has nothing to do with Scientology practices. See http://www.scientology.org/wis/wiseng/wis4-6/wis5_2.htm. Take a look at Stupid Fool’s recent edits and I think his purpose for creating this page will be clear. Nuview 12:56, 9 May 2006 (PST)

Correction: Not "Hypnosis has nothing to do with Scientology practices." "The Church of Scientology claims that hypnosis has nothing to do with Scientology practices." There's a substantial difference between the two -- which Nuview has been around long enough to have no excuse for not knowing. -- Antaeus Feldspar 14:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with this article...

There's a major problem with this article, unfortunately. Namely, that close examination shows that nearly all of it is taken straight from the Anderson Report -- sometimes whole sentences taken word-for-word. While this gives certain assurances of the verifiability of the information, and while it might not be a copyright violation (does Australia have similar policies as the United States on the copyright status of their official documents?) it does present something of a problem. Recommendations? -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
