Church Of Scientology banned from Wikipedia.


	Quote: Wikipedia bans Church of Scientology Wikioperating Thetan Level Zero By Cade Metz in San Francisco • Get more from this author Exclusive In an unprecedented effort to crack down on self-serving edits, the Wikipedia supreme court has banned contributions from all IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates. Closing out the longest-running court case in Wikiland history, the site’s Arbitration Committee voted 10 to 0 (with one abstention) in favor of the move, which takes effect immediately. The eighth most popular site on the web, Wikipedia bills itself as "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit." Administrators frequently ban individual Wikifiddlers for their individual Wikisins. And the site's UK press officer/resident goth once silenced an entire Utah mountain in a bizarre attempt to protect a sockpuppeting ex-BusinessWeek reporter. But according to multiple administrators speaking with The Reg, the muzzling of Scientology IPs marks the first time Wikipedia has officially barred edits from such a high-profile organization for allegedly pushing its own agenda on the site. The Church of Scientology has not responded to our request for comment.

Good. The more they clamp down to cult brainwashing the better.

They're a horrible controlling cult and the less exposure they get the better.

It's more than 'lol' it's totally nuts.

One of my favourite quotes from Holy Moly is “Scientology makes Catholicism seem plausible”.

I agree entirely, but enough about Wikipedia, what do you think of the Scientologists?

:etc:

Erm omnipotent invisible man that creates and favours a single species in a two days and creates his entire habitat in 5 vs alien that dumps spirits in volcanoes explodes them and humanity forms.

Difference is, other religions will tell you what it's all about before you sign on.
Scientology asks for about $100,000 before you get told what it's all about.
