Scientologists Banned From Wikipedia!

Filed under: Tom Cruise > Etc.

atcurise.jpg

The powers that be over at Wikipedia have made a ruling against the Church of Scientology being allowed access to edit entries on their website.

The "free encyclopedia" and eighth most popular site on the Internet banned all contributions from IP addresses affiliated with the organization for allegedly pushing its own agenda on the site. After a six month deliberation, the site’s Arbitration Committee voted 10 to 0 (with one abstention) in favor of the move and the ban goes into effect immediately.

Many individuals are banned from the site for adding propaganda or false accusations (remember when Sinbad was declared "dead"?), but this is the first time a high profiled organization has been given the boot.

The folks over at the website stress that their site offers a "neutral viewpoint" and insist that "use of the encyclopedia to advance personal agendas – such as advocacy or propaganda and philosophical, ideological or religious dispute – or to publish or promote original research is prohibited."

Scientology's problems with Wikipedia comes just on the heels of the opening of an actual trial that could see the dissolution of the organization's French chapter.

Rough week to believe in science, huh?

      scientology is not a real religion they only call it that for the tax exemptions. it was started by l. ron hubbard a science fiction writter who could not sell his books he is famous for saying "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." and so he did and he has been taking people for a ride even after his death. there is a lot of shady things connected to scientology in europe because they dont put up with as much nonsense as the US they dont welcome scientology with open arms. this is a list of scientologists:
      * Kirstie Alley, actress
      * Anne Archer, actress
      * Catherine Bell, actress
      * Sonny Bono, artist and congressman
      * Nancy Cartwright, voiceover artist
      * Erika Christensen, actress
      * Tom Cruise, actor
      * Sky Dayton, founder and Chairman of the Board of EarthLink
      * Jason Dohring, actor
      * Jenna Elfman, actress, and her husband Bodhi, actor
      * Beck Hansen, (Beck) musician
      * Isaac Hayes, musician, actor RIP
      * Katie Holmes, actress
      * L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology
      * Jason Lee, actor and professional skateboarder
      * Geoffrey Lewis, actor
      * Juliette Lewis, actress (daughter of Geoffrey)

    20. 20

      Scientology is a cult - and I believe a dangerous one, at that.
      L. Ron Hubbard was not only crazier than a shithouse rat, he was inherently evil. This sect preys upon the misguided and vulnerable. They should not even receive any "air time" - it only perpetuates their insane agendas and dogma.



    21. 21

      he is hellaaaaa skinnnayyy

      my twitter is cinaaadoll
      my youtube is omgitscina



    22. 22

      Re: YUCK – You forgot one of the most prominent Scientologists John Travolta, and his wife actress Kelly Preston.
      Also Priscilla Presley (ex-wife of Elvis) and daughter Lisa-Marie Presley.
      Also actress Mimi Rogers, who was Tom Cruise's first wife (before Nicole Kidman) who introduced Tom to the cult.



    23. 23

      They have nothing to do with science. Tough week to base your beliefs on science fiction, perhaps. It's a dangerous group, and I'm glad people are finally catching on.



    24. 24

      Tehe, I love the look on the other guys face behind him."Hey Razzo could ya stop eggin his crazy ass on??"

      LOL. This gangster organisation deserves whatever shit it gets. Let's hope France do the right thing and throw them out of the country.



    27. 27

      Kinda like when you said Castro was dead, Perez?



    28. 28

      Scientology is as much science as creationism is.

      "kin ya ban 'em form yer website, perez? They stink when they
      flood the comments. Fish on the beach smell betta.
      OR JUST DON"T POST ANYTHING ABOUT TOM CRUISE TO INVOKE THEM.
      yayayayayyayay



    31. 31

      SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT SCIENCE!!



    32. 32

      Tom must love Jenny's books on autism because we all now know how Scientologists feel about autistic kids: hide'em if you got'em and come up with a different diangosis if they are found.



    33. 33

      What the fuck is wrong with Tom Cruise's teeth? With all his money you would think that he could get some decent caps or at some least matching veneers! His front teeth don't match the side teeth and his gums are a mess! He needs to just get all of those ugly teeth pulled and start all over with some dentures. Scientology probably prohibits dental care. Look what what Scientology's prohibition of medical care did for John Travolta's retarded son. What a pair of douche bag ass holes those two are!

      scientology is in no way related to science. ha! ha-ha-ha. scientology is far from science. ha….haaa. ridiculous.



    39. 39

      ::Rough week to believe in science, huh?::

      Perhaps what you meant to say was "Science fiction".

      That said, I wholeheartedly support this move. I knew someone who passed away that was once affiliated with the organization and they made additions to his wikipedia page after his death to bring attention to themselves. No group with any human decency would try to profit off of someone's death. Sick.

      ::So what happened to Equality for all????::

      Wikipedia is not America. It is not a democracy, like eBay. They can decide the appropriate course of action to deal with the editing of entries that are supposed to be accurate and objective and have creative control of their site, just as the Church of Scientology would never allow anyone but themselves to update their own site. Adding skewed information isn't equality either, BTW.



    40. 40

      umm, honey, scientology has nothing to do with science. I hope that's sarcasm!



    41. 41

      I hear Sinbad's dead.

      they. do. not. believe in science.
      at their heart of their beliefs is a ridiculous plot of a sci fi show that flies in the face of actual science.



    43. 43

      I just went on Wikipedia..and did a search…and it was there!!! So whats the deal??????



    44. 44

      Re: YUCK – Scientology panders to the over inflated egos of "B list"
      celebs. Thats why they were so glad to get " A list" Tom Cruise who has now, through his association with Scientology, been demoted to the B list You're circling the bowl, Tom baby.



    45. 45

      The way they cheat people into paying for salvation.. I say good for Wikipedia !



    46. 46

      Serves "the church" right. HA HA!

      Best news I've heard in the past 100 years.



    49. 49

      lol. That's awesome



    50. 50

      I'm not a faith filled person, so for me, believing in thetons and alien presence is about as logical as believing that a Jew came back from the dead after three days



    51. 51

      1 down & a thousand to go! ALL "religions" shoud be banned. They are all just cults invented to control the masses and make the masters rich. Do you think the crapolic church, islamic nut jobs, bible beating baptists or even e-piss-copalians aren't filling their websites & blogs with all of that hocus-pocus to make themselves look legitimate? "Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly" and I'll suck the lifeblood out of you and throw away the rest. A-FUCKING-MEN!



    52. 52

      Creepy ass cult….



    53. 53

      Good- I wish this wacko Tom would stand up for human kind and admit he is worshiping a false idol named Xenu- a being that comes down from outer space and takes him to a better place when he dies (funny isn't it, but true)….SOOO delisuional, and it amazes me how Kate has stayed with him this long.



    54. 54

      ain't that a b*tch



    55. 55

      Scientologists don't believe in science, they believe in science FICTION



    56. 56

      Scientology should be banned. Look what Neil Gaiman has done to Tori Amos. Enough said about that.

      Re: buffymybasset – Why do you think she looks so miserable all the time. They are blackmailing her with something, her child, parents, past, who knows.
      If she leaves him, she will have to leave her child like Nicole did. Then, never speak a word!! Suckers!



    60. 60

      Yes, SCORE ONE FOR WIKIPEDIA!!! Scientology is not a religion, it's a cult and should be treated as such. Tom Cruise and all the rest of 'em need to wake up and smell the fraud.



    61. 61

      If they're going to do it to the scientologists, why not do it to all religions?

      Oh… because no one likes scientologists, right? And they can get away with it.



    62. 62

      Re: Karadoll – Last time I checked, no one received death threats or was killed for leaving the Baptist church, or the Catholic for that matter. Do your research. And, I don't remember mandatory tithing to the accumulated amount of over $300,000.00 just to reach a decent level of membership.(it's going to cost you a lot more to find out the secret of Xenu off the coast of Florida outside the US boundary line) Don't worry, if you can't pay they will put you to work at a mall kiosk or in the kitchen at one of the many housing facilities. Hope you look good in blue! :) Rainbows are beautiful!!! Applied Technology, you see that…..RUN!

      I thought a I felt a distinct shift in the universe….wow. Scientology in time out…this won't be forgotten when the final judgement comes.



    68. 68

      Ha ha ha Scientology isn't science it's is Science fiction. Why would you say that? You know better I hope.

      Just as planned. This is indeed a grand victory for Channology!



    70. 70

      wow…i feel like they just opened a big can of worms



    71. 71

      I think scientology is as fake as Kabbala (if that's how you spell it) Its just celebs trying to have their own thing. Madonna and Tom piss me off!!!! I hate when people mess with wikipedia. I mean most of the pages ar eactually really reliable as long as nobody has messed with them (they usually only mess with like the celeb, sex, gay and religious pages) and its good that it is neutral too. I think this is a good idea!



    72. 72

      I hate Wikipedia and I never use it as an information source.
      I am a data researcher by profession and Wikipedia is CHOCK-FULL of inaccurate and/or incomplete info.
      Never depend on their website!!

      good…I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is blackwhitemeet.com All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!

      YAY! They need to wake-up.



    81. 81

      You mean, rough time to believe in an evil alien overlord who apparently existed before the universe even came into creation. You can't possibly mean science, which is a logical pursuit of FACTS.
