Talk:Tim Bowles (attorney)

I have just learned from a friend that Wikipedia is listing a biographical page on myself. I have reviewed and found initially two particularly egregious entries, the deposition excerption from inveterate perjurer Gary Scarff and the "Scientology Series" box of links inserted on the right side of the "article" page. I am removing each of them based on the following Wikipedia policy: "Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous."

The "Scientology Series" is accurate, since Bowles has worked as a scientology attorney and still works for scientology front groups. However, I find it amusing that you consider this to be libellous.

The Scarff link - as far as I know, Gary Scarff has never been indicted for perjury, so I'd be careful to make such accusations, you're getting yourself in hot water there.

However it can stay out since it's a rather poor quality source. --Tilman 10:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I am proudly a Scientologist. As counsel to the Church in the late 80s and early 90s, I did help its hierarchial organizations and related entities achieve deserved religious recognition from IRS. I am also active in international human rights initiatives supported by the Church as well as by many other well-meaning groups and individuals. However, from my personal study and experience, the so-called "Scientology Series" is a slanted, unbalanced and poorly researched attempt to unfairly cast the religion and its adherents in a negative light. I am thus removing it for a second time. I find ironic that a "Tilman" (Mr.? Ms.?), someone of whom I have never heard and that to my knowledge I have never met, would undertake to do me the "favor" of re-inserting these series boxes. Whomever you are, your efforts are misguided. Timbowles 23:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
