[edit] Roman Catholic ban
The article should perhaps discuss the ban that was given by the Holy See against Catholics joining Rotary. The ban dates from the 1950s, and I don't think it has been in force since Vatican II, but it's interesting to note the historical motives for the interdict.

[edit] Reference to Hunter S. Thompson
It is unclear to me why a a reference to Rotary International on The Office is culturally significant, but one regarding Fear and Loathing is trivia.Yosh76063 (talk) 06:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Rotary Phones
So, Rotary International does not have anything whatsoever to do with rotary phones.
You know, given the similarity of the names, a naïve person (a person so not me) could become the victim of a lifelong cruel prank.

[edit] Category:Rotarians
Can anyone please create a Category:Rotarians? We have one for fellows of the foundation and for leaders, but not for members at large. Many politicians and businesspeople are members, so this could be useful. I don't know how to create one.Zigzig20s (talk) 20:17, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Nazi Germany Focus
The history during wartime seems to be a diatribe focusing only on Nazi Germany and its treatment of Rotary clubs. I feel this should be a separate article because it diverts from the focus on Rotary International and instead obsesses about how the Nazis dealt with Rotary. A separate article could carry this forward but here it detracts.
Similarly there could be discussion about how the Japanese dealt with Rotarians, established or comandeered clubs in Mukden, dealt with Rotarians in occcupied Shanghai etc --but this does not help give any background on the history of Rotary International - which is the purpose of this article.
Rotary is made up of clubs and clubs of members.
Moreover "War Time" is really dealing with the Second World War - and only here from a European point of view.
Frankly I think this is offensive to the international nature and spirit of Rotary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Primorye (talk • contribs) 14:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
