title of article

"Scientologist" really should be capitalized in the parenthesis of the article's title................. (a la Incident (Scientology), Implant (Scientology), etc. wikipediatrix 00:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Done. Smee 05:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC).

POV

What the heck's going on with POV in the "Fair Game Advocate" section of this article. Personally i agree with what is written but it's worded like a blog and very biased. I don't want to delete the whole section as it contains some indesputible facts so I'll have a go at re-writing it, but someone more experienced also needs to have a go at it. --Ukdan999 14:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It does not look so much like Fair Game practice as the use of "Reporter TRs". In any case, there is no media citation to substantiate your edit.--Fahrenheit451 16:29, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Fahrenheit451, please note that the "Fair Game" section was not my edit. I didn't add it to the article, I actually edited most of the nonsense out of it. --Ukdan999 00:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Right, sorry. It was evidently from an i.p. address.--Fahrenheit451 19:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Sweeney

Davis was "spoken loudly to" by Sweeney? That's a bit understated! Sweeney was barking like a pomeranian with rabies. I'm changing the article's wording to "yelled at", at the very least. wikipediatrix 15:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipediatrix, I restored Steve Dufour's edit of "spoken loudly to" as it is NPOV and common english. Please keep your imaginative opinions out of your editing here.--Fahrenheit451 16:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

That's odd, you don't usually complain about my "imaginative opinions" when it's regarding information that's critical of Scientology. And it's also odd that you usually call it a "personal attack" when someone speaks to you in the manner you just spoke to me. What sources do you bring to the table that specifically state that Sweeney was merely "speaking loudly" and not shouting or yelling? wikipediatrix 17:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipediatrix, please W:AGF. I suggest you take up your objections with Steve Dufour and not wrong target me. --Fahrenheit451 19:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Why should I take it up with Steve Dufour? I'm talkin' to you because you're the one who reverted the edit, and you're the one who insulted me with this "imaginative opinions" nonsense. You made these statements, not me. So stand up and explain them and defend them, if you can. Meanwhile, I've restored the word "yelling" and provided several newsmedia secondary sources for it. And I can get more. wikipediatrix 19:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikipediatrix. Sorry to see you are so hypersensitive about my comment about your imaginative opinions which refered to your very hyperbolic phrase, "barking like a pomeranian with rabies". I stood up and defended them. Thanks for finally citing your edit. If a barking female pomeranian with radies can, so can you. --Fahrenheit451 19:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Yelling is fine with me. It originally said hollering, which is a slang expression. Steve Dufour 01:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

NPOV

You Anti-Scientologists are as crazy as the Scientologists. Does anyone really think the following sentence from the article is in line with WP:NPOV? "Dispite days of harrasment by Scientology members, including being shadowed by private investigators, Sweeny immediately appologized for loosing his temper." --Ty580 09:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Not only that, it's unsourced and with five misspellings reads like it was written by a child. wikipediatrix 13:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Citation standardization needed

I know I already put this in the to do list, but these citations really need to be standardized with Wikipedia:Citation templates. The hyperlinks themselves are not enough, they might not be up there forever, thus dates, authors of articles, etc. are needed as well. Smee 18:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC).
