Wikipedia:WikiProject Scientology/test

Purpose: WikiProject Scientology (or WP:SCN for short) is meant to set a public forum for Wikipedia editors interested in improving and maintaining articles related to Scientology and the Church of Scientology, with a primary focus upon history and practices.

Scientology is a controversial topic, with interested persons tending to have strong opinions for or against it. Editors must take special care with Neutral point of view and referencing.

Issues for discussion on this forum: identifying articles and topics in the scope of this project, discussing ways to improve article standards, coordinating collaborations and article improvement efforts, developing standards and guidelines designed to achieve consistency between related articles, rating articles by appropriate standards and classes and organizing the articles by suitable categories and links.

Project structure: The WikiProject's main page includes the following elements:

• An introduction to the project's subject and a To Do list.
• A list of the members and participants of the project
• An assessment of the current status of the articles within the scope of the project (compiled automatically by a bot)
• A catalog of all the templates and categories related to Scientology and its WikiProject
• A section denoting Related WikiProjects.
• A section pertaining to the collaborative efforts of members, in the Article Improvement Drive.
• A Related WikiProjects section, to denote other collaborative projects on related Wikipedia articles, as well as related information on Sister Projects.
• An Article Improvement Drive, to focus efforts on certain chosen articles, as well as a New Articles section to highlight newly-created articles, and an Articles for Deletion section, to list Articles nominated for deletion and the results of completed AFDs.

Scientology is a body of teachings and related techniques developed by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard began Scientology in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics, and later described it as a new religion. He said that it offered an exact methodology to help humans achieve awareness of their spiritual existence across many lifetimes and, simultaneously, to become more effective in the physical world. The name "Scientology" is also used to refer to the often controversial Church of Scientology, the largest organization promoting the practice of Scientology, which is itself part of a network of affiliated organizations that claim ownership and sole authority to disseminate Dianetics and Scientology.
