good factual bits
Which bits? cheers Cambial — foliar❧ 00:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


 * First, thanks for your work and I'm with you overall on this. But following is good factual information for the article, including the text contained in the references:


 * churches, especially in the area of applying Hubbard's teaching and technology in a uniform fashion. At a local level, every church is a separate corporate entity set up as a licensed franchise and has its own board of directors and executives. "Each church corporation is organized on a nonprofit basis with its own board of directors and executives responsible for its activities.  What is Scientology?  Published 1998 Bridge Publications  ISBN 978-1-57318-122-8<

 * OK, but my edit didn't remove any of that article text, only two sources: one is this book, which is quite old and out-of-date and hence the more recent "RTC" source (which supports the text) can be used in an ABOUTSELF way; the other is "The Church of Scientology" (Studies in Contemporary Religions, 1) (Melton, 2000). The latter is a publication of CESNUR; community consensus has determined that its publications are generally unreliable as a source. As such I'm going to restore the edit.

 * Why not just work that factual content back into the article?  BTW it looks like "sky is blue" structural stuff regarding them.  North8000 (talk) 01:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the quote from one of L. Ron Hubbard's books used in the first citation? Before I removed it, it only appeared as a quote in the citation pop-up, not as article text. But if you think it should be used in article text as an LRH quote I have no particular objection; I'm mainly working on erasing more pervasive issues of language bias left unresolved since 2008, removing non-RS along the way.

celebs
sections about incidents of celeb endorsement should be added 216.164.249.213 (talk) 04:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Missing sections
This article is missing a section for "Service organizations". It should be placed before "Headquarters". Subsections should be: Service orgs are the Church of Scientology organizations where public individuals ("members") go to get their services (auditing and training). It is the income-producing strata of the entire network. Grorp (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Class V orgs (missing)
 * 2) Ideal orgs (existing)
 * 3) Advanced orgs (missing)
 * 4) Freewinds (existing)
