[edit] WikiProject updates

• I have done some updating to the WP:SCN, added some new articles, added a "to do" list to the top of the project, and fixed up some categories and assessment stuff. I suggest we should all pick one article at a time, or at most two, to work on bringing up to Featured Article status. You could give input on the project's talk page...

[edit] Quentin Hubbard

It's widely sourced that Quentin is gay. As you are a Scientologist yourself, I can't help but see your motivations and would like to ask your from refraining in removing the LGBT people category from this article as it belongs there just as much as say, Rock Hudson's article. It's fact, not allegation. ~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 22:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

What has gay to do with me being a Scientologist? And as for "facts" in the article, I invite you to familiarize with WP:ATTRIB or WP:RS and have a look at WP:BIAS. COFS 21:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm well aware of all those. And I'm not biased, I just think it's sourced very heavily. Also, your comment on my talk page was very rude, but nevermind.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 16:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of sources on Inside Scientology

Hi,

I can't help but notice you removed "ref overkill" from this article. There is no wiki policy regarding "too many references", in fact, the feeling generally is "the more the merrier!". Furthermore, as you quite openly self-identify as a Scientologist, and given the fact that most of your edits revolve around the CoS in some way, the removal of such links could be easily interpreted as a conflict of interest.

I don't want to discourage you from working on these articles, but please keep Wiki policies like NPOV in mind.

Thanks!

Hi, if you would go into the actual changes you would see that I removed doubles and triples of the same source text and left the ones which were from reliable sources while the others were not. If you criticize me for applying Wikipedia Policy in uncluttering articles and evaluate at the same time my religious affiliation I cannot help but reminding you that you are getting close to violate Wikipedia Policy geared to prevent discrimination on here. I am interested in learning Wikipedia Policy and for sure I would not claim that I am not in error here and there. But unless you are able to point out the exact violation please refrain yourself from personal comments. Thanks, COFS 21:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of navigational boxes

• Please discuss on the talk page of {{ScientologySeries}}, instead of summarily removing navigational boxes without discussion. Some people have worked really hard on these. Thanks. Smee 04:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

I thought there was a consensus that the bottom box is being used?! I missed the discussion that time but would have supported it. "Further reading" is always at the bottom or end of articles. The color is still a problem but that is a different discussion. COFS 04:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Please revert your mass removal of the box that other users have worked hard on, and instead discuss at Template talk:ScientologySeries. Thanks. Smee 04:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

• COFS, I am not comfortable at this point in time to converse via email. Please instead take all of your concerns to the discussion page, Template talk:ScientologySeries. I will respect the unwritten rule, and not mention directly what you wrote in the email, but I highly suggest you bring all of those points to the talk page. Thank you. Smee 05:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Sorry, I am not comfortable to go over this with everybody. COFS 04:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I take it that means you do not wish for me to reveal what was said? By default, without your say, I will not. Yours, Smee 06:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
