Review[edit]

Prose comments

  • On X-Day
  • "Steve Bevilacqua, the Church's business manager, drew a parallel between their group's predictions and aspects of well-established religions."
    I feel that it is a bit incomplete. Would you expand a bit on which that parallel was?
Checked the source again and rephrased a bit. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • On Publishing
  • "The Church of the SubGenius emerged on the Internet in May 1993,"
    It would be good if you explain a bit how they emerged. What they did that promted this exposure on internet? [as an example]
I took another look at the source, and I think it's saying that their website first came online in May '93. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Their holy books are disordered"
    Do you really mean "holy"? :O [optional]
Hmm... that's a good point. Changed "holy books" to "core texts". Mark Arsten (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • On Comparative religion
  • "The American journalist Michael Muhammad Knight likens the Church to the Moorish Orthodox Church of America, a 20th-century American syncretic religious movement."
    It'll be good if you expand a bit onto how he likened both (how he made the comparison). [optional]
It's a little tricky, since he describes them each separately, but I've added a brief (and somewhat vague) note about how he summarizes them. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the comments, I've taken a shot at handling them. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
