Claims to be the fastest growing religion
The star article of Wikipedia is here. It's time to put it on our front page.--I told you 12:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The article seems fine to me overall. The lead includes an unsourced referenced to "many...claims and rumours...urban legends."  This is a personal opinion, unless verifiable sources provide debunking of such "claims and rumours."  List "non-religious" as a religion seems weird to me.

I have no problem with the content of this article. I think it's rather well written. However, I am a bit bothered by the lack of citations in all sections except "Claims to the fastest growing religion", and the lack of them in certain parts of the aforementioned section (I'll put in a few "fact" requests around there). I think that is something that will need to be fixed before the article is FA-quality. -- Rei 22:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, you should standardize on a preferred citation format. I saw several and didn't know which to follow. -- Rei 22:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

One obvious problem is the lack of a discussion of what should count as a "religion", as opposed to a "denomination" for this purpose. In particular there is the issue of certain very fast-growing charismatic Christian sub-groups, that have often made claims of this type. Other than that, I think the article still needs a lot of more general work, and is still incredibly far from FA or even GA.--Pharos 23:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
