Masonic social life[edit]
Given how much time 'the Freemasons' will, if the conspiracy theorists are believed, have to devote to organising the world to suit their interests it is a wonder that they have any opportunity to dress up for their ceremonies and have general socialising/networking (which, one would expect, will be part of the reasons for people electing to join them). 86.146.99.29 (talk) 09:48, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Napoleon[edit]
Is there any proof that Napoleon was a Mason like the article says?

John Cleese quote[edit]
Note the reference to 'colour TVs' (ie it was still an emerging 'accessible technology'). Anna Livia (talk) 17:01, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
If I want to see a list of notable Freemasons[edit]
I can just, you know, Google it and I will probably get a better result. I think we should remove this colossal, unsourced list from this article. What do you guys think? GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 15:41, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, make the list go away, and promote the following paragraph. The list does nothing for the article. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 17:41, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- I honestly don't mind the list, but yeah, I can't think of a reason to have it over, say, a Freemason category or a link to a list of Freemasons. The fact that most of the listings are unsourced certainly doesn't help either. Do note that the list also ends with a note about people who weren't Freemasons, despite various conspiracy theories insisting that they were, which, granted, is also largely unsourced.

Feminist and Atheist criticisms of Freemasons[edit]
Considering how misogynistic and atheophobic the Freemasons are, I'm surprised the article doesn't mention atheist and feminist criticism of the Freemasons (assuming there is any to begin with).
