Any current or future editor who makes substantial edits to any Scientology-related articles or discussions on any page is directed:
- To edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account, unless the user has previously sought and obtained permission from the Arbitration Committee to operate a legitimate second account;
- To edit only through a conventional internet service provider and not through any form of proxy configuration;
- To edit in accordance with all Wikipedia policies and to refrain from any form of advocacy concerning any external controversy, dispute, allegation, or proceeding; and

If any editor fails to comply with the spirit or letter of these instructions, any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, ban any editor from editing within the Scientology topic. Prior to topic banning the editor, the administrator will leave a message on the editor's talk page, linking to this paragraph, warning the editor that a topic ban is contemplated and outlining the behaviours for which it is contemplated. If the editor fails to heed the warning, the editor may be topic banned, initially, for three months, then with additional topic bans increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. |

[edit] Scientologie
The article doesn't really explain the situation adequately -- under German law, a book title is like a trademark, so partly because of the prior existence of the book, Scientology has had to use the spelling "Scientology" rather than "Scientologie" in Germany. Whoever acquired the copyrights to the book, also acquired prima facie claims to the scientologie domain names in the .de registry. But this has very few implications for anything outside Germany...

[edit] Independent Scientologists
'Independent Scientologist' is not a synonym for 'Freezone' as the first sentence of this article implies, it is a separate movement. My impression from its central website http://markrathbun.wordpress.com/ is that it sees itself as branching off from the Church doctrinally after the death of Hubbard, whereas the Freezone spit off earlier. The term 'Freezone' is never used and most Independents seem inclined to ignore or at least not talk about what opposition to the Church existed before, being focused on removing from office the present Church leader David Miscavige.
There are also other groups emerging, the situation is difficult to keep up with particularly as none are interested in Wikipedia!
