Tasks
Note that we have a stub of our own, - so if you think of an article to add to this list, you really might as well just start it, jot down whatever occurs to you off the top of your head and add that stub to it. Please try to add at least one reference, to help the next editor.


 * 1) Fix the stubs - expand and give full references
 * Category:Scientology stubs
 * 1) Articles that need writing
 * 2) Lisa McPherson Trust
 * 3) Scientology and psychiatry
 * 4) Author Services Inc.
 * 5) Topics important to the majority of Scientologists
 * 6) What does a CoS Scientologist want to learn about Scientology from an encyclopedia?
 * 7) A concise form of what is covered in dozens of books and thousands of lectures.
 * Note: this might better be termed What might a CoS Scientologist want a non-Scientologist to learn about Scientology from an encyclopedia? CoS Scientologists learn about these things from source materials.
 * Note that quite a lot of the tech topics exist as redirects to Scientology beliefs and practices &mdash; a blue link doesn't mean the article exists as yet
 * 1) ARC (Scientology) and the ARC Triangle
 * Someone just marked the second one as a suspected copyright violation, since Roger appears to have added it when not logged in, so the history only shows a French IP rather than his name! I've explained on WP:CP and I expect Guy will ask Roger on user talk:Roger Gonnet - David Gerard 22:48, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest that when the copyvio is cleared, a merge and redirect to the article ARC (Scientology) is performed, as I can't really see that the ARC Triangle should be in a separate article to ARC. --NicholasTurnbull 04:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Or just let that be removed, redirect it to the ARC article and use the original as a reference? - David Gerard 10:22, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Assists
 * 2) Auditing processes and procedures
 * 3) Clear (Scientology) - just written (David Gerard 10:22, 1 August 2005 (UTC))

 * 10) E-meter - including photographs, description of operation, reads etc.
 * 11) Engram needs expansion regarding Scientology

 * 34) Information about and proper synopses of key Scientology texts: A History of Man, Book of Case Remedies, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Dianetics 55!, Introduction to Scientology Ethics, Science of Survival, Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought, etc.
 * Note: There is probably much more to be added here, but this is just a start. Maybe a lot of these could be merged into some kind of "Fundamentals of Scientology" article. --NicholasTurnbull 21:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Topics specifically important to CoS-only Scientologists (e.g. IAS members and those "on lines" at orgs)
 * 2) Topics specifically important to non-CoS Scientologists (e.g. Free Zone members and unaffiliated Scientologists)
 * Category:Free Zone is just about empty and needs a knowledgeable contributor or two.
 * 1) Topics important to critics of Scientology
 * 2) Scientology and celebrities
 * 3) What topics are particularly popular on Operation Clambake? Someone needs to go through them

 * 16) Introspection Rundown
 * 17) Office of Special Affairs (OSA)

 * 19) Operating Thetan - OT III already has good coverage in Space opera in Scientology doctrine and Xenu
 * 20) Overboarding (Scientology) - not quite sure about this one; re. overboarding on the Apollo
 * 21) Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) and the RPF's RPF
 * 22) Religious Technology Center (RTC) - the "semi-secret" management
 * 23) Scieno Sitter -- of course, we should use whatever the official name of it is, and only use "Scieno Sitter" as a redirect
 * Does it have an official name? Does it need its own article? It's mentioned in Scientology versus The Internet (Entheta 18:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC))
 * I'm not entirely convinced it does need its own article - it's just a custom version of CyberSitter (which doesn't have an article either). If someone wants to write something really long about it ... - David Gerard 21:54, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * 22) Guillaume Lesevre ED INT, Church of Scientology
 * 23) Helena Kobrin apparently now disappeared; originally from Legal, OSA INT
 * 24) Mark Rathbun Inspector General, RTC
 * Would be great if someone with some info got an article on Rathbun started, especially if someone has any info on what has happened to him recently. The CoS seems to have removed his name from all their websites. Sources on OCMB says he blew.

 * 8) David Mayo original contributor to upper level materials and founder of the Advanced Ability Center organisation (now defunct)
 * 9) Heidrun Beer freezoner; has had some interference from the CoS

 * 11) Ray Kemp - former mission holder and one of LRH's closer friends. Alleged author of the OCA/APA Test.
 * 12) Tommy Thompson (Free Zone) - Not sure who he is, but the critical attention devoted to him seems to indicate that he's someone...
 * 13) Notable critics (Category:Critics of Scientology)
 * 14) Andreas Heldal-Lund has a stub
 * 15) Arnaldo Lerma has an article in need of wikification and cleanup
 * 16) Cyril Vosper, author of The Mind Benders (which is currently the same article)
 * 17) David S. Touretzky Professor at CMU; long history of being a CoS critic

 * 30) Ursula Caberta
 * 31) Just posting to a.r.s probably isn't enough, nor even a popular website unless it's Operation Clambake ... real-world influence, e.g. lawsuits, writing a book, frequent media (discussion needed) - David Gerard
 * 32) Bob Minton. Both he and the Lisa McPherson Trust should have articles I think. Many of us who weren't around when all that stuff was going on are still confused as to exactly what happened, so if someone with good knowledge could write about it, that would be great (Entheta 21:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC))
 * 33) Just started a stub on Tory Christman, the well-known ex-Scn and critic. I figure that since she's been on TV 'AND' radio making her case against the "church" we def. need an article on her. Anyone want to tackle the full length writeup? 206.114.20.121 19:59, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I can try to do it. I was unsure whether she would qualify as being "important enough" to get her own wikipedia article, but you're probably right, since she's been on tv and radio, etc. (Entheta 02:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC))
 * I have now written a brief article. Please check and correct any mistakes (Entheta 05:08, 27 September 2005 (UTC))
