Remember when Cirt said: QUOTE accept that there has been significant criticism relating to my editing of certain pages relating to Scientology. I will do my best to take this criticism on-board, and adjust my future actions accordingly. To begin towards that process, I have gone ahead and removed 66 Scientology-related BLP pages from my watchlist. I am going to shift my focus away from this topic of Scientology in general, and of BLPs within this topic in particular.
Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 01:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC) and QUOTE Comment: As stated here diff, I am going to avoid editing within the topic of Scientology, unless directly related to prior GA and FA projects. -- Cirt (talk) 01:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC) Well, that was weeks ago, and in a different calendar year, so I guess it would be unreasonable of me to hold Cirt to those statements. What has Cirt been up to in the first few days of 2011? - voting "KEEP" on Scientology-related deletion discussion for Jenna Miscavige Hill
- voting "KEEP" on Scientology-related deletion discussion for Exscientologykids.com
- thanking someone for their work on an L Ron Hubbard book article
- thanking someone for their work on an anti-CoS activist Jenna Miscavige Hill article
- editing a Futurama episode dealing with "Robotology"
- editing the BLP of an actor who did a spoof of Cirt's arch-enemy Tom Cruise
- welcoming someone whose only recent edit (out of a total of two) is a supportive comment for Jenna Miscavige Hill on the talk page of their article
- continuing a conversation on the talk page of an article about a former Scientologist who committed suicide years after leaving Scientology
- supporting the renaming of a page about a Scientology-related medical clinic
Just about the only thing that Cirt did that isn't related to CoS is restoring a removed quote from a movie financed by the Moonies. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with having a highly negative review snippet in its own coloured box: QUOTE "Empty-headed Korean war epic produced by Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church."
—Leonard Maltin[2] I mean, that's pretty neutral, right? I'm going to add something similar to the Sound of Music and see what kind of reception I get. Cirt's statements about staying away from CoS stuff seemed to work in that people backed off the ARBSCI enforcement, but if Cirt can't keep away from it by themselves, it may be time for an intervention. |

QUOTE(RMHED @ Mon 3rd January 2011, 6:35pm)  No that's what Scott gets for being a naive twat. Maybe one day he'll learn, but I doubt it. Well, I thought he showed admirable initiative by registering on the Why We Protest forum to try to explain his actions WRT the Jenna Miscavige article. Somehow these Anonymous folks, who clearly have their hearts in the right place, have to try to understand that Wikipedia is the real problem here - it's just too easy to abuse if people aren't paying attention, and what people of conscience hope to prevent here is neither the smearing nor the "sanitization" of Scientology itself, it's the use of what has come to be an Acceptable WP Smear Tactic on people who don't warrant it. It's similar to what Nobs used to call "ideological profiling" - if certain less-than-ethical WP'ers discover that they can bash people with the "Scientologist" label, just as they've bashed people with various other labels in the past, they're almost certainly going to use it on people who have precious little to do with Scientology, if anything. If you're going to bring down something like Scientology, you need patience, you need creativity, and you need a damn good plan. What you don't need is people sniping at innocents. |

[removing my overly long criticism of Anonymous because I don't want to derail my own thread. It's about Cirt.]
Good thing because I noticed there were 2 guests and 1 Anonymous user reading the thread ... I find little of this surprising, and I hope someone at the very least sets Cirt straight. |
