Contents 1 Scientology 2 It should be "Iran-Contra scandal", not "Irangate" 3 Presidential candidate 4 Criticism is not sufficient detailed 5 Operation Mop-Up 6 Minor copy edit suggestion

[edit] Scientology

The article on the Scientology "e-meter" states that "Scientology minister Lyndon LaRouche" was the first to use it. A different Lyndon LaRouche? I don't see anything about Scientology in this article. Proxy User (talk) 05:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Good catch. It appears to have been vandalism. I've removed it. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 06:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] It should be "Iran-Contra scandal", not "Irangate"

"In 1995, he wrote to a Swedish newspaper declaring that Olof Palme was assassinated because of his knowledge of the Irangate scandal."

Could someone change "Irangate" to "Iran-Contra"? I recall neither a gate nor fence-like material of any kind being involved during that scandal.

But seriously, adding a "-gate" suffix to refer to a scandal is just irritating journalistic laziness and improper use of a noun--what do gates have to do with scandals?

Torgman1 (talk) 02:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Presidential candidate

"Category:United States presidential candidates" has been disambiguated to candidates per election between 1789 and 2008. I have been unable to add the appropriate categories for LaRouche as this page is protected. Could an administrator make the necessary changes? Dimadick (talk) 14:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

That turns one category into eight, but it's worse for Harold Stassen. Seeing no objection I've made the edit. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 03:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism is not sufficient detailed

The criticisms of LaRouche in reputable published sources are not adequately represented on this page. I would like to add a flag that the page fails the NPOV test. --Cberlet (talk) 13:51, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Operation Mop-Up

The dubious FBI accusations at the end of the section are supported by a (poor) reference to a defunct LaRouche website. They should be deleted. John Nevard (talk) 05:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor copy edit suggestion

Someone with the power to do so should place a period after the word "cult" in the second sentence of the second paragraph of this article, before the reference tags. I'd do so myself, but the protection level here prevents me, lowly regular user, from doing so. Adlerschloß (talk) 17:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you also add [[Category:American foreign policy writers]] ? --172.193.62.190 (talk) 06:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Any objections? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 06:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Other than granting him an importance he in no way deserves -- it's not as if any of his works are best-sellers, widely read, or influential -- no, not really. --Calton | Talk 07:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

No objection -- make it so. --Anti-Gorgias (talk) 03:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I appears that Calton already objected. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 04:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

If you will re-read his statement, in response to your question, "Any objections?" he concludes with "no, not really." I don't object, either -- it seems straightforward to me. --Marvin Diode (talk) 14:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Are any of his writings published outside the movement? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
