All of the sources mentioned in the "Works cited" section are not actually referenced in the article itself. I'm putting them here in case anyone needs to use or restore them. I'm leaving one, Lamont 1986, in "Further reading" because it is focused on the organization(s) and most closely matches the subject material.

Please change the word “sect” in the top summary in the sentence of how the German Government defines COS to “cult”.

This is a false friend: the German word “Sekte” is translated as “cult”, not “sect”. “Sect” means something different in English (as in a subgroup, an offshoot of smth.) - the German gov. actually sees COS as a full on “cult” (i.e. fanatic high-control-group working against liberal-democratic fundamental order). 2A0C:D242:3880:B500:89A3:75E8:92EE:5839 (talk) 16:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Cruise should be added to the Celebrity Section to bring awareness on powerful people who are associated with the church. 205.215.209.250 (talk) 16:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: There's already a main article at Scientology and celebrities, which does mention Tom Cruise. Per WP:SUMMARY, it's unnecessary to replicate all the contents of the article in this section. Liu1126 (talk) 16:27, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the infobox.

• Per corporate records, the "headquarters" is 6331 Hollywood Blvd and not Gold Base.
• I added the predecessor organizations
• I removed the image

As to the image, the previous image was of a single building and the signage above it. That building is predominantly the Sea Org staff dormitories and one division (INCOMM) at street level. It is not a management building, and though prominent because it is a well-known building as the old Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, it is just not representative of the Church of Scientology... at least not any more.

If one must use an image of a building, I recommend an image of the 6331 Hollywood building because that is the address used on most of the corporate filings for the management corporations of COS. I would prefer, however a logo.

My understanding is that the S-and-double-triangle represents Scientology the techniques and concepts, just as the stacked pyramid represents Dianetics. However, the 8-point star represents the "Church of Scientology". It is this 8-pt star that I recommend as the logo for this article.

Discuss.
