I would say that the image is mislabeled, but I may be wrong. The phrase "Scientology Isn't Free" relates far more to the fact that Scientology charges for its "audits" rather than the fact that you'd have to be a paying Scientology to see the video eventually in the audits. The caption would be for more appropriate under an image of, say, a protester holding a sign saying "The text of this sign has been removed due to a copyright complaint by the Church of Scientology". In this case that image is mislabeled, in my opinion. ] (]) 23:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Can anybody find a verifiable source that says ] from Xenu TV attended the Clearwater protests on February 10? I know that he did, because I have seen him in a video anon posted to YouTube of him attending, his own video in which he indicates that he attended, and a video in which he interviews bass player and noted OTIII Scientologist ]. However, I'm not sure that YouTube videos are verifiable sources that can be used on Misplaced Pages.

== Possible need to split ==

The article is currently ~74 kilobytes long. This is a HUGE article. The section on Anonymous' internet activities is particularly large and is ripe for splitting off into a daughter article, leaving a brief overview in this article and a link to the main article. Thoughts? ] (]) 22:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''', I'd rather keep it on one article at this point in time. Are you aware of the new article, ]. ] (]) 22:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
**Yeah, I saw it. ] (]) 17:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' I agree that it is huge by wikipedia standards, but all the information (in my opinion) is "meaty" and ties together. to split it would cause a less coherant flow of information for the reader, and possibly appear that one type of activity was a "major part" of PC, and the other type was a sub section...and I beleive that they are both equal.] (]) 16:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
**I'm just thinking in terms of this article ever reaching GA or better, this will be a huge (no pun intended) concern. I don't think that there will be much sacrifice to the perceived relative significance of the internet activities if they are just summarized in this article and the blow-by-blow is moved to its own page. The section is so long as it is, that this approach would pare it down to a size comparable to the other sections. I can see this eventually happening with the IRL protests as well. Another alternative would be to (somehow) break the section down further so as to break up the text and solve a bit of a "tl;dr" problem with the section. ] (]) 17:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
***We can cross that bridge when we come to it. ] is currently pending, see tag at the top of this talk page. However, I agree that some of this info/text in the article is a bit verbose, and could be trimmed down/summarized, etc at some point, just not yet. ] (]) 17:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

*'''Comment''': I agree with both sides of the argument. The article ''is'' long, but splitting has a good chance of hindering further development. For example, several of the sources would have to be duplicated, since they discuss both background and actual protests. Note that Internet activities by Anonymous not related to ] are not mentioned in this article, but in ]. ] (]) 17:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Plenty of sources and manages to keep ], though the topic is controversial. However the article remains stable only when the article is protected, and as of ] Vandalism reversions should not be needed.

Etymology

I can't see anything in the article about the etymology of the word "Chanology". Is it derived from 4chan/711chan? If so (or even if not), surely there's a reliable source somewhere that can be found for it? Not knowing where the name came from is a serious limitation of the article. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:D58E:EA80:4B3D:5445 (talk) 13:19, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

"The word "Chanology" is a portmanteau of 4chan (the site where the project originated) and "Scientology."
