BLP note

Problematic category

How did this get recreated... it was deleted and salted (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 November 10#Category:Freemasons)?

Ah, found the discussion where it was recreated... see: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 January 3#2007 November 10...

I think this needs to be examined again. Blueboar (talk) 15:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be repopulated again, if anything. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 04:08, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely agree. The discussion (referenced above) shows an overwhelming consensus to keep this category, and also demonstrates that the 2007 decision to delete the category was fundamentally flawed. We need to repopulate the list. If there are issues that people feel make the category "problematic" then they should be discussed here, and resolved.

Well, let's just do it and see what comes of it... Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 05:07, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Religion

I've removed the project template, as no justification was offered for its inclusion, and it stands in direct contradiction of Freemasonry's own claims that it is not in any sense a religion. The "Basic Definition on Freemasonry and religion" of the world's oldest Grand Lodge (the UGLE) states: "Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. It demands of its members a belief in a Supreme Being but provides no system of faith of its own. Freemasonry is open to men (and women) of all religious faiths. The discussion of religion at its meetings is forbidden." Timothy Titus Talk To TT 04:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
