	::(ec x2) Considering that there are religion-related categories attached to the ] page and Anonymous has attacked the Church purely on the basis of its beliefs, I can understand the addition of the religious persecution category on the page. Religious persecution is actually mentioned in the article under the Reaction heading, where Andreas Heldal-Lund says that "attacking Scientology...will just make them play the religious persecution card."
	::However, I agree that more debate is needed here. There's a huge difference between claimed religious persecution and actual religious persecution. And then there's the question of whether or not Scientology is an actual religion. Furthermore, if the aim of Anonymous really is to attack the corporate structure of CoS rather than the belief system (although the two are intertwined), then religious persecution certainly does not apply. --]<sub>(])</sub> 04:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
	:::Re: to {{user\|Clpo13}} - It is a wholly different matter entirely to add a category implying characterization to an article, without multiple secondary ]/] sources that have previously characterized something in that manner, than to include a quote from ] warning that the ] would attempt to use that very characterization itself. ] (]) 04:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Would that be because its criminal activities and intimidation efforts aren't persecution?

Or is it because they don't want to admit the religious character of the group they are indeed committed to persecuting - I'm sorry but ] with the Church headquarters and its most significant bases recognised as parts a religious organisation and afforded charitable tax exemption accordingly.

			I can't see anything in the article about the etymology of the word "Chanology". Is it derived from 4chan/711chan?

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)
