→Edit war: Trying to understand what Tmtoulouse is saying here.
::: Okay, here is the link we have been using: [http://info.scientology.org/] and its first sentences begins, "Scientology is an applied religious philosophy". Which is what the article says, word for word. What would you like changed ? [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 17:05, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

:::: Nothing, use the definition but attribute it in the text to the Church, since that is who owns and runs that site. Just as I have been advocating from the start. However, here is another option I might be okay with, use your wording, but add a sentence afterwards giving other definitions and sourcing them as well.

::::: You are thinking that millions of websites, thousands of locations worth millions of dollars, books available everywhere, even public libraries, you're thinking that these things do not make public opinion? That because someone once used a similar word in 1901, is not translated, owns no property, and probably wouldn't be known by the public at all, except as a dispersive kind of "someone else used the word FIRST!" ? You're thinking that is so noteworthy that it must be included ? What's the point? The Church owns more than a billion dollars of property, has millions of adherents, Hubbard is the most widely translated author in history (Guiness Book of World Records), its on every continent and in almost every country. You're trying to say all of that is equally important to one guy's 1901 use of the word? [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 19:58, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
