The following was removed from the main article:
"In 1909, Dr. George Winslow Plummer (1876-1944) founded the Societas Rosicruciana in America, apparently seceding from the SRICF; this group appears not to retain the requirement that members be Christian Master Masons. Until 1951 it also used the name of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and retains links with a Florida-based group now using that name."
The last sentence is factually inaccurate and a citation is needed regarding the non-existent use of the HOGD name until 1951. There is no citable evidence for any of this. Thus, because of these glaring historical inaccuracies, I've edited the passage to resemble more noteworthy and historically accurate information. MA'AT 20:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redone article
I've been working on a rewrite of this culled from the existing SRIx articles and other sources. I will be redirecting the other articles here as well. MSJapan 22:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clarify
This article gets a bit obscure in parts, very interesting topic though. The intro could use a bit of work:
The Societas Rosicruciana is a Masonic Christian order whose members are drawn from the ranks of subscribing Master Masons of a Grand Lodge in amity with the Grand Lodge of the jurisdiction.[clarify]

- (Pardon, conflicted) There are two spellings for Societas Rosicruciana/Rosicrucianis. That might need explaining or correcting as well. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 17:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- According to the various sites of the orgs, Rosicruciana is how they spell it officially, but I've gotten hits on both. The interesting thing is that the -is hits are all third party occult websites, while the -a gets hits to the official sites. Rosicrucianism in general is pretty fragmented, so it's possible these are two distinct groups, so I'm not going to change anything until I can get some better info. MSJapan 19:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- It's very hard to clarify a statement when it is unclear what exactly needs to be clarified. MSJapan 17:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for any confusion. The use of the word amity, (friendly terms/relations) and the difference between a grand lodge and a "GL of the jurisdiction". 'Subscribing' too, maybe 'active'. I don't think that a general reader would be able to get much out of this article without clicking to to half a dozen links. I look forward to seeing how this article turns out. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 17:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- That I can work on. MSJapan 19:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

- Rosicruciana is correct, I'm an Exponent (SW equivalent). ALR 19:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Good, you probably know the pluralisation of this name, if any. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 20:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not required, afaik. There will be one but you'd need a Latin scholar.ALR 20:44, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SRIAm
I see this has been added to the MSRICF section as a reference, so I dropped it a level. However, there seems to be a mention of the same group in "Influences", but the dates are different. I can't get a Google hit on SRIAm or SRIUS, so does anyone have a reference for these? MSJapan 19:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
