Hi, thanks for your message. I generally agree with you about RS, but the anti-Scientology people on the Net promote this idea of "SP Hall" so much and so strongly, and since there is so much anti-Scientology fervor here on WP, I figured it wouldn't be a problem. After all, Misplaced Pages's Scientology articles are far from balanced or neutral, so why not just put this additional claim about SP Hall since practically everything else claimed on the Net is assumed to be true. Anyway, that the source is not considered to be reliable (and I hope that this is widely held here, and not just by you) is heartening.

I heard about the ArbCom, but I highly doubt it will be able to fix any problems because there is a rampant systemic bias against Scientology throughout Misplaced Pages and the Net. I've tried to fix problems where I've found them, but dealing with the anti-Scientology crowd is extremely difficult. Laval (talk) 12:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

On the evidence

Apology graciously accepted. I do appreciate the secondary sources you added, but at the same time I still wanted to get some further input on the sourcing matter from other editors. It's good for progress when you have more eyeballs on article. ←Spidern→ 13:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I appreciate your input. I didn't think we were going to get anything from the community on RS/N; that's why I had suggested at the bottom of the article talk page perhaps taking it to NOR/N. It occurred to me later that would have been the better place, theoretically, although in practice, that board is a little quiet. Best, Jayen466 13:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Canvassing

Asking editors to give their input is great, but when you do so please don't influence the response. I just came across your posting to the Misplaced Pages talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics, and I have to say it was not a neutral statement. See WP:CANVASS for the right way to frame such requests. It's a courtesy to link to such a requests so that other editors will know what's being asked.   Will Beback  talk  05:32, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I just looked at that request and it looked about as neutral as anyone could want. I think you're getting a bit carried away, Will. Rumiton (talk) 07:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Rumiton.   Will Beback  talk  07:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Noted. I did mention at Talk:Prem Rawat that I was going to ask an Indian bureaucrat for advice, and it was he who recommended I post to the Indian board (User:Nichalp's response above). I'll leave a more explicit courtesy note and link next time. Jayen466 09:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing my opinion? Oh, I am sorry, I didn't thank you for sharing your opinion above. Most uncivil of me. I thank you now. Rumiton (talk) 11:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

It's not a neutral statement. It's not even an accurate statement! I noticed this the other day also. Sylviecyn (talk) 13:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

David Miscavige

Just to clarify, the section I deleted (and you restored) was taken word for word from the book it sourced. It also really didn't belong where it was. Accordingly, I've rewritten it and moved it up to the intro, but no content has been lost. LSD (talk) 18:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, that makes sense. Cheers, Jayen466 18:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
