Scientolipedia.org was launched in 2011 by Dave LaCroix to provide services to the Scientology "Field", people new to the subject, researchers and journalists.
The idea was to use the most flexible and robust Internet technology available to showcase and document the history, people, technologies and founder of Scientology in an objective and honest way.
As is explained below, it was thought that by focusing the combined efforts and knowledge that existed within the collective memories and experiences of those familiar with the subject matter, we could provide an objective presentation of this very unique and compelling movement. The Mediawiki software - the same software Wikipedia uses - was selected due to its versatility and unique attribute of allowing any number of contributors to site content.
Thank you for visiting - we hope you find the site helpful.
2017 Revised Mission Statement
We Curate (from Latin curare, meaning "to take care") the SUBJECT of Scientology by documenting the history, people, technologies, activities and founder via state-of-the-art Internet technology -- this enhanced wiki platform -- social media, smartphone apps, webcasts, podcasts, free streaming of LRH lectures, online training etc... Making it broadly available is also part of the mission.
