Scientology Banned from Wikipedia

[Skip]

After a long review, the Gods at Wikipedia have decided to ban the Church of Scientology from posting anything about their organization & "religion" on the Wikipedia website.

This is due to their interference with their own listing on that site. They are constantly re-editing their entries for propaganda purposes.

This was a big deal for Wikipedia because they really don't like to have to ban a group, and scientology is the biggest they've ever banned.

Scientology is currently embroiled in a huge case in France. So no doubt their spin machine was in full tilt...

how come scientology is so popular? honestly! the religion is a bad science fiction book turned cult.

How can they ban scientologists from editing? I mean literally how? Do they have some way of detecting if someone is a scientlogist?

[Zorba The Grape]

It would just be the church's local networks that would be banned. It doesn't really amount to much, but you can all keep pretending I guess.

[McLeodGanja]

I expect they will ban everyone from editing it...

Looks like its still up and running to me, am I missing something? :eek:

It appears it no longer allows edits.
Unlike other pages that have [edit] on the right.

I always thought of it as a way for hollywood stars to hide their money.

It's no worse than any other religion really. All the same sh*t with a different coat of paint.
