[edit] Series Template

Removing this Series Template. This is not correct usage of Series Templates per the guidelines. They were set up to show the history of countries and were different articles form a sequential series. This is not the case with the Scientology pages, which are random pages on different topics – not a sequence of any kind. Wiki’s definition of a series is: “In a general sense, a series is a related set of things that occur one after the other (in a succession) or are otherwise connected one after the other (in a sequence).” Nuview 01:50, 10 January 2006 (PST)

Dianetics -> Scientology ->Auditing -> Growth -> New texts -> New OT levels, new leaders, etc.. It's a growth of tech. It didn't just "happen" one night, please add info if you can. Ronabop 11:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Introduction quibble

The article reads "The three elements of understanding together are said by Hubbard to be understanding." in the introduction as it stands. This strikes me as reading strangely, editing to attempt a more fluid phrasing. AndoSEKleton 18:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References need consolidation

we have several instances of exactly duplicated references that should be consolidated here. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suspected scientologist infiltration of wikipedia

New user Klaus rabe from 7 of December 2006 has erased twice today here and here the two below External links. External links

Sockpuppetery is not allowed as per WP:SOCK policy and I suspect user Klaus rabe is a sockpuppet of another. -- Jpierreg 00:40, 13 Dec 2006 (UTC)

To make a random accusation instead of taking up the cause of dissatisfaction expressed by the removal of external links shows a clear, propagandistic intention typical of scienbtology advocates. I am simply shocked that on a subject as sensitive as SCIENTOLOGY, the only links given in this sort of article is Scientology sources. I strongly advise to put in other links or to limit external links to the main article where a far more balanced choice is offered, as I foun then I looked at it. There is a lot of bias towards a scientologist position even there, but the struggle to curb this tendency is evident, while in this article there is no trace of the aim to be "neutral". I strongly suspect the splitting off of such individual themes to be a means for scientologists to infiltrate their manipulative tenets into wikipedia on a different level. User Jpierreg should be aware that his insistence on putting ONLY scientology sources to illustrtate his scientologist POV damages his credibility, especially if he should not be a scientologist himself but just a little naive as to the purpose of this article.- As for the way I stumbled over it: it was chosen by the Random Article button and was one of the perhaps 3-4% finished articles shown, most of which were just a sort of garbageheap of useless information. So I looked a little more closely and wondered how far the infiltration of scientologist positions in the wikipedia might reach. (Klaus rabe 10:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC))
