The Miscavige coup : Power takeover after Hubbard's death

edit

Has anyone noticed that Wikipedia has very little content related to David Miscavige's takeover of power and control of the Church of Scientology after L. Ron Hubbard's death? I also mentioned it at Talk:Pat Broeker § Broeker's role and the power struggle. There is quite a bit of material in several books about the power struggle, including Atack, Lamont, Miller, Reitman and Wright (four of which are available online) and possibly Rinder and Urban.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Grorp (talk) 04:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also called "the corporate sort-out" (CSO). Here is another source giving tips of this period of corporate reorganization.[8] Grorp (talk) 07:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Today I added some of this information (in summary) into Church of Scientology § History... prompted by the auto-archival of this thread.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 08:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Still needs doing.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Fixed. Error was introduced in 2019 when someone removed the content of an entire section, without reducing the numbers of sections from 7 to 6 in Wikipedia:WikiProject Scientology/DefinitionLayout.   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 05:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
