While the article looks to be well done in general I was a little worried about calling the book "objective" and having a full text link in the intro. Both of these seemed to be attempts to push this book onto users as something they should read to debunk Scientology--which is not the place of an encyclopedia. I just wanted to post this section in hopes that we don't let this type of language creep back into the article. gren グレン 19:44, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Would it be better to change "Scientology" to "The Church of Scientology" in these sentences? Thanks. Steve Dufour 03:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Back to original topic of section I think this is now resolved so that "Scientology" is used for the general belief system/whatever and "the Church of Scientology", or "the Church" for short, is the corporate entity that can do things like sue, try to ban books, etc. Steve Dufour 17:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
