I know I've been falling behind in adding some of these newer sources to the article, I've got a lot on my plate at the moment but I'll try to catch up with it all soon. Cirt (talk) 22:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Maxim chanology article

Z00r (talk) 16:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Very complete coverage, and it doesn't incorrectly portray Anonymous' memes either (it just avoids most of them). Unfortunately, it's all about the March 10 "Beware the Ides of March" protests, which are already covered by a number of other sources. I don't know what we can add that hasn't been added already or will actually add something new to the article. the_one092001 (talk) 20:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

I believe this is referring to the August 2008 issue of Maxim magazine. Cirt (talk) 21:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

The issue is from August 2008, but all the references within the article are to the March and February protests. the_one092001 (talk) 23:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, it provides information on the death of Mudkips the cat; the identification of "Rorschach" and "Ryan"; the PI carrying a weapon at the protest; Mark Ebner as the source of the Tom Cruse video; past actions of Anonymous, such as harrassing Hal Turner; etc. There could be more, but I read it a few days ago and can only afford to skim it now to refresh my memory of what it held. I imagine there is more of value in it. Also, there is now this article on two Anon protesters who were harassed and had their signs stolen and damaged. When Scientology Attacks And now Alan Moore has mentioned the protests, though he doesn't name them, it is clear he is referring to Scientology protests by individuals wearing Guy Fawks masks. Alan Moore Still Knows the Score! page 5 "I was also quite heartened the other day when watching the news to see that there were demonstrations outside the Scientology headquarters over here, and that they suddenly flashed to a clip showing all these demonstrators wearing V for Vendetta [Guy Fawkes] masks. That pleased me. That gave me a warm little glow."--Cast (talk) 08:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

A lot of that background doesn't belong here though. That Anonymous attacked Hal Turner doesn't really deserve mention here; it was pretty much unrelated. It might make more sense in Anon's own article, but not here. And a lot of the events are too specific to be listed. The actions taken by a few Scientology members in LA aren't really very significant or notable within the context of a several thousand member global protest. The protest section ATM needs to be trimmed, not expanded. the_one092001 (talk) 08:33, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Agree with most of this last comment by The one092001 (talk · contribs), and the trimming/copyediting is on my longer term list of stuff to do, however in addition to incorporating additional references including those listed above. Cirt (talk) 06:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding cybercrime category and the like

I believe we would need a reliable 3rd party source stating it is cybercrime before it should be added to the category. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently the only source claiming that currently is the Church of Scientology itself, which is not a third party. ^TH1RT3EN _{talk ♦ contribs} 05:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Agree with Th1rt3en (talk · contribs). This appears to be a characterization of Project Chanology that the Church of Scientology and its representatives has been trying to push out in its public relations campaign for some time now. Without a third-party source satisfying WP:V/WP:RS, or a conviction of some kind, this is a wholly inappropriate category and classification. Cirt (talk) 05:48, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Alan Moore

Have you seen the Trapped in the Closet episode?
[Sings] I'm trapped in the closet! Yeah, that was terrific. I thought the way that South Park handled that bit with the Scientologists was wonderful. I was also quite heartened the other day when watching the news to see that there were demonstrations outside the Scientology headquarters over here, and that they suddenly flashed to a clip showing all these demonstrators wearing V for Vendetta [Guy Fawkes] masks. That pleased me. That gave me a warm little glow.

New sources - From the shadows, Anonymous battles Scientology and Who's who in this face-off. Will get on this soon. Cirt (talk) 02:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Why is it referred to as an "ongoing protest" when it's a defunct harassment campaign?
