Name
There is a clause reading "at the time of early rea of industrialisation". I don't think 'rea' is correct, but can't think of a word to replace it, except perhaps 'rise'. Any ideas? Peridon (talk) 10:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

connotes?
The second paragraph of the introduction begins
 * The first, Loyal Aristarcus Lodge No. 9, connotes earlier ones in the 18th century.

This makes no sense. See :


 * Definition of 
 * transitive verb 
 * to be associated with or inseparable from as a consequence or concomitant &middot; the remorse so often connoted by guilt
 * a :  to convey in addition to exact explicit meaning &middot; all the misery that poverty connotes &middot; For her, the word “family” connotes love and comfort. b :  to imply as a logical connotation

 * The editor meant it suggests that there were earlier ones before. I'll clarify it. SpikeballUnion (talk) 20:07, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Rituals
I came across the following by chance. Perhaps there could be a section on the rituals. http://www.stichtingargus.nl/vrijmetselarij/ioof_rini.html Independent Order of Odd Fellows Ritual for the Initiatory Degree. Chemical Engineer (talk) 18:25, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

"Failed verification"
The article currently states "The Catholic Church in the 19th and early 20th centuries condemned secret societies such as the Freemasons, deemed "pseudo-religious", but also addressed other organisations, including expressing suspicions against the stated religious neutrality and independence of Oddfellows[33]", to which someone has added the tag [failed verification], with the comment "The source doesn't even mention 'Freemasons' or 'pseudo-religious'". This is only partially correct: the cited source says that Catholics are forbidden from joining societies that "plot against the Church", with the Masons being judged as such. The source also describes the Odd Fellows (and the Masons) as a "quasi-religious society" (not pseudo-religious). The source does not however give any dates for the forbidding of any of the societies mentioned, nor does it say that the reason for forbidding the Odd Fellows was "suspicions against the stated religious neutrality and independence". I could re-write this sentence to better match what the source does say, although it would be good if someone who knows more about the subject to find dates for the forbiddings, and preferably the the original, official condemnations.

"International"?
Was there really nothing to mention beyond the USA and UK? How about in Canada or Australia? Ireland or New Zealand? —DIV (49.195.30.200 (talk) 14:41, 7 November 2022 (UTC))  Support good-faith IP editors: insist that Wikipedia's administrators adhere to Wikipedia's own policies on keeping range-blocks as a last resort, with minimal breadth and duration, in order to reduce adverse collateral effects;  support more precisely targeted restrictions such as protecting only articles themselves, not associated Talk pages, or presenting pages as semi-protected, or blocking only mobile'' edits when accessed from designated IP ranges.
