People want to know[edit]
People want to know the relative size of different Denominations, we need to know which sect is large and influential, which is insignificant. For example round 2010 there were only three Shakers left in the world so Shakers are of historical importance only. So far I haven't even checked if all three are still alive. But Methodists with 70.000.000, now they matter. Proxima Centauri (talk) 16:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- No, they don't. No, we don't. This is pointless off mission trivia. Тyrannosaurs 16:25, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Even as a footnote it is pointless. ТyYes? 16:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see why the a simple fact like the number of a particular denomination is "off-mission trivia". I get the impression you're being rather heavy-handed with PC. Be nice. Lily Inspirate me. 16:48, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am being nice. ТyNo 16:55, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- You're an attention whore and that's not nice. Proxima Centauri (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Ty's following me round the wiki being heavy handed, thanks for noticing. Proxima Centauri (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Fucking paranoid idiot, at least someone gives a shit enough about your crappy writing to at least try to keep you in check. Did it ever occur to you to only make the 15% of your edits that are useful? ħuman

OKAY. 1. This is on-mission to me. As a person who knows shit about the various denominations and what they stand for, I appreciate articles that help to shed light on the question. 2. Ty, you know I love you, but dial it back re: PC. Yeah, she's not the strongest writer we have, but she gets her facts straight and usually writes stuff that just needs a quick bit of editing to get into shape. She works hard for the project and obviously cares about it. P-Foster Talk ""Santorum is the cream rising to the top."" 17:03, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- I'll buy all that except the "quick bit of editing". Oh, and the "facts straight" part since I just deleted some junk she pasted in with no footnotes. Copyediting PC's regurgitations is one of the hardest jobs on this wiki. If you have any doubt, look at the fossil record at Magdalene laundries. Yeah, I know it's ancient history, but she still writes just as badly as back then, and drags whatever moldy tidbit she just came across on the web all over the wiki. I miss Mei - she was fucking useful! PC isn't. Face it. She's just hard work to clean up after. ħuman 03:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, at least as far as the religion comments go, her facts are often quite far off. She gives generic slashes and screeds that serve nothing to explain the topic. I get better than anyone, that we don't all write equally well (though to stick my nose right into it, I'm not convinced some people here who are so critical of writing - or rather so quick to complain about other people's writing--, are actually all that great themselves... but whatever), but it's dangerous to start with an obvious point of disliking something, when you go to edit.

The lead...[edit]
Wow, this could use some help, I'd try but some knowledge of the topic would help. Which is why the lead sucks. ħuman 03:23, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
