This article primarily consists of attributed quotes which are presented as fact; this makes it inherently POV. The quotations need to be presented as such, with clear distance, and the main article needs to present a neutral point of view.--Eloquence* 14:39, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Quotes are not facts, if properly attributed. All quotes as far as I can see are attributed, so it is well within NPOV. --Zappaz 18:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hagiography
Obviously, this article is nothing more than a hagiography. In his later years, Wilson became a "gun for hire" by scientology. Examples of his writings:
- TOP INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS DECLARE GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS “NOT QUALIFIED TO DICTATE WHAT IS AND IS NOT A RELIGION”
- Apostates and New Religious Movements (don't trust them!)
- Expertise on Confidential Religious Writings (claimed that Christianity has "esoteric" components!)
- An Authoritative Examination of Scientology’s Religiosity (yes, its a religion!)
And here's an article by Prof. Stephen Kent about Wilson, taking his theories apart: [1]
He was also an "expert witness" in a french trial for scientology [2] - it did not help, several scientologists were convicted. --Tilman 20:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
