Does anybody have any good non-church sources for this article? Seems difficult to meet NPOV with purely internal sources. Micahmedia ( talk) 02:30, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm for deleting the stub tags, as this article is no longer a stub. S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 05:09, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
This article relies way too heavily on primary sources, and sources directly affiliated with the article's subject organization and affiliate organizations. I note that this concern has been raised previously, above. Cirt ( talk) 07:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Two out of seven are affiliated with Freedom magazine. Did I miss one? The primary sources tag should be removed. S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 23:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Here's the L. Fletcher Prouty obit from the Guardian, a British newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2001/jun/22/guardianobituaries
It mentions the publication of Prouty's book in Freedom magazine. S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 03:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Someone changed the links on the Awards section so that they linked to primary sources instead of NFPW and Religion Communcators site. I will restore the section and the original links, and put this article on my watchlist. S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 03:28, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Cirt ( talk) 03:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
You deleted the Awards section as i was adding the link to the Duplessis orphans article. Here it is.
http://www.freedommag.org/english/vol38i/page18.htm
I strongly urge you to stop editing this article until tomorrow. I've gotten the edit clash message twice now. Someone deleted the original link to two of my references and changed others so they were no good. What do you think will happen if an impartial observer takes a look at the history of this article? S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 03:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
How is an award from the NFPW or the RCC an "award"? S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 05:31, 20 June 2009 (UTC) Here is another link which shows the names of the 2006 NFPW Winners: http://www.nfpw.org/competitions.htm S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 05:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC) Here is a link which shows the Religion Communicators Site, one of the groups that gave Freedom mag an award. http://www.religioncommunicators.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=70674 The memberclicks ref that you deleted is from the Religion Communicators site:
http://data.memberclicks.com/site/recc/2009%20DeRose-Hinkhouse%20Award%20Winners.pdf
"Certificates of Merit: Will Hall, Jewish Folk Singer to Christian Matriarch, Baptist Press
Tom Whittle, Psychiatric Screening: Destroying Lives for Profit, Freedom Magazine, Church of Scientology"
How is the RCC not a reliable source for data about awards that they themselves have given? S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 05:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
If the awards are not notable, then how notable is the quote from two POV-pushing anticult crusaders (Eugene V. Gallagher and W. Michael Ashcraft)? S. M. Sullivan ( talk) 08:25, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

That was interesting, I had never examined this page very closely, but I have to agree with Slashme's removal of some profoundly disturbing, unwarranted content. I checked some of the Scientology organization's proclaimed references which were discussed in the more actionable "Freedom Magazine" articles consisting of core slander and libel, and yes, they are outrageous. Edward F. Mazur book about massive government conspiracies being used to some how "prove" legitimacy for Scientology's libelous allegations against Time Magazine have no place in Wikipedia.
We have guidelines for WP:BLP and some of those guidelines need to be applied for living persons in articles such as this one, not only for actual living humans but also for corporate entities like Time Magazine. Last thing Wikipedia needs is victims of Scientology's core human rights and civil rights violations suing the Wikipedia Foundation and individual editors for outrageous, actionable content! Thanks.
