[edit] Arbitrary section

What level did Atack reach in Scientology before he left? I've read that it was OT III, but I don't have a suitable source for this. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Atack's book

Incredible. Just incredible. How can a person spend so much time, effort and money, understand so badly and then write a book that presents his misunderstandings? Incredible, like spending 10 years studying math, completing calculus and not being able to say 12 times 12 = 144. Terryeo 05:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Terryeo, did you have something to say that was relevant to the writing of the article? Perhaps you should look into getting a blog; by the law of averages, someone out there on the Web would almost certainly be interested in your personal opinions. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 100% WP:OR

This article is fully unsourced and thus 100% OR. COFS 23:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you're making a WP:POINT today, but it should be easy to copy just about all references needed from A Piece of Blue Sky. AndroidCat 23:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Not much in the article can be credited to APOBS. But if you have access to more data feel free to add it. COFS 00:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, WP:POINT is what I am trying to fix, namely "Cannot satisfy Wikipedia:Attribution; fails to cite sources, cites unencyclopedic sources, misrepresents reliable sources, or manufactures original research", which is the definition of a disruptive editor. COFS 01:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
