Flying Spaghetti Monster → Pastafarianism – This article talks mostly about Pastafarianism in general, not exclusively the Flying Spagetti Monster. Proud User (talk) 22:50, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
  • Comment: If the article talked specifically about the Flying Spagetti Monster, then I could see why it would be considered a "common name." But it doesn't. It goes into general detail about Pastafarianism itself, so I see no reason why we should have such a specific name for a title. "Flying Spagetti Monster" is not the name of the religion, but "Pastafarianism" is.--Proud User (talk) 21:08, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Per WP:COMMONNAME. The proposed is a less common made up version of the first, slightly cleverer, but less recognizable. Also note [1]. In the references, one name hugely dominates the other in frequency of use. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:29, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is allowed to perform marriages in New Zealand

New Zealand Gazette Alvar☮ 11:26, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

In fact, the article completely lacks information on where FSMism is legally recognized as a religion. At least New Zealand and Holland do, AFAIK. I think the article should report this. Efforts for FSMism recognition (and successes) are very important to grasp the attitude of the FSM community. Moongateclimber (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2016

Update the amount of loans funded by the FSM group on Kiva.

On the nonprofit microfinancing site, Kiva, the Flying Spaghetti Monster group is in an ongoing competition to top all other "religious congregations" in the number of loans issued via their team. The group's motto is "Thou shalt share, that none may seek without funding,"[67] an allusion to the Loose Canon which states "Thou shalt share, that none may seek without finding."[68][69] As of 29 March 2016, it has funded more than $2,969,925 in loans.[70]

(Change date on [70] to reflect 29 March 2016).

FSMC in Poland

Dear Wikipedians!

I'm afraid tha FSM Church in Poland is still not legally recognized. The quote from The official page (http://www.klps.pl/) of FSMC (Kościół Latającego Potwora Spaghetti) states:

"Wniosek o rejestrację KLPS został wysłany 27 lipca 2012. 15 marca 2013 otrzymaliśmy decyzję odmowną. 28 kwietnia 2015 sąd uchylił II odmowną decyzję MAiC, mimo to urząd 19 sierpnia ponownie odmówił rejestracji. 17 września 2015 wysłaliśmy III skargę do WSA."

I will not transtale, but basically it means that bureaucratic procedure is still in progress and not ended.

Also, quote from Polish Wikipedia about FSM is:

"Przedstawiciele KLPS zapowiedzieli odwołanie od decyzji, a także skargi do Sądu Administracyjnego w Warszawie, Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego i Trybunału Praw Człowieka[19]. 8 kwietnia 2014 Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Warszawie wyrokiem uchylił decyzje Ministra Administracji i Cyfryzacji, Michała Boniego z 2013 roku [3][20]. Następca Boniego na stanowisku ministra administracji i cyfryzacji, Rafał Trzaskowski zapowiedział możliwość zmiany decyzji ministerstwa[21] na korzystną dla pastafarian. W październiku 2014 roku sekretarz stanu Stanisław Huskowski wydał w imieniu Ministra Administracji i Cyfryzacji decyzję o ponownej odmowie rejestracji Kościoła Latającego Potwora Spaghetti. Od decyzji MAC Kościół się odwołał i następna rozprawa w sprawie rejestracji została wyznaczona na 28 kwietnia 2015."

Which also means that the procedure is in progress (although this is slightly outdated).

Most probably the Polish officials will do not recognize FSMC and Pastafarians will have to sue Poland in European Court of Human Rights.

I know that the linked page says otherwise, but it is not correct.

First wedding information incorrect

5280native (talk) 21:24, 19 April 2016 (UTC)Multiple places here, and in the media, state the 1st official wedding was just recently in New Zealand. This is highly incorrect, as I myself have performed three official weddings in the name of the Church of the FSM as an ordained minister of the church (I was not the first either). This all started from one misinformed AP writer in New Zealand. I, and those others, who have performed weddings in the name of his noodly goodness would like this to be fixed. R'amen.

Please provide some reliable neutral references to back up this claim. Thanks and R'amen to you too.--Dmol (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

"Pastafarian" pre-dates FSM

There was an old joke I heard back in the 80's along the lines of "have you heard of pastafarians? they listen to ragu music". It seems this deserves mention in the article as FSM acolytes clearly co-opted a bit of pre existing history. (and btw, "ragu" is an Italian word for spaghetti sauce, it's not just an American brand) 68.175.11.48 (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

They must have been pirates or descendants of pirates. It is an ancient religion, approximately 6,000 years old, per devout adherents. Lipsquid (talk) 17:19, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Important Changes Must Be Made

All throughout the page, the Church of FSM is constantly called a 'parody religion' or 'satirical'. There is also an issue with some basic information such as, saying that it was first seen in 2005, the creator was the Prophet Bobby, THAT is not the truth. Pastafarians have been around for a long time, the originals were pirates. Bobby didn't create the FSM, he was just touched by His noodly appendages and made it widely public. Nobody created the FSM, He created us, we did not create Him. Pirate XIV (talk) 05:20, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

If you will notice, our article on the Mormonism does not say that the religion was founded by Jesus. Nor does our article on Islam say that the religion was first practiced by Adam and only revived by Muhammad. Nor do the articles on Arya Samaj or the Transcendental Meditation movement credit the authors of the Vedas as their founder. That is because Wikipedia sticks to secular history. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Ummm, Jesus is in the official name for the Mormon church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Islam article says "Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets including Adam...." maybe you were making a joke or maybe you don't know what you are talking about...

Spanish version of the page "Flying Spaguetti Monster" (which is "Monstruo del Espageti Volador" which redirects to "Pastafarismo") can't be added on language section due to a conflict with the "Monstruo del Espageti Volador" page. Super-mpm (talk) 00:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Link to dab page redirect for Bobby Henderson

@TeeVeeed: I removed the linking brackets from Bobby Henderson in the infobox because there is no WP page for this Robert Henderson. If it had been a red link, I would have left it, but a link to a dab page is not acceptable even if the dab page has a black-text entry for this person (which points back here). What is your reason for reverting?  —jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 23:09, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Monotheism

I just added Pastafarianism to the Wiki page "Monotheism" (specifically, the list of monotheistic religions) and it was immediately reverted as being "inappropriate".

Add information about driver's license in Germany

I want to add information about headgear in legal documents in Germany between the first two paragraphs of this section (to stick to the chronological ordering):


On August 9, 2011 the chairman of the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Germany Rüdiger Weida obtained a driver's license with a picture of him wearing a pirate bandana. In contrast to the Austrian officials in the case of Niko Alm the German officials allowed the headgear as a religious exception [2] [3].

I want to add information about the legal status in Germany:

Since 2006 the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has the status of a registered association (German: Eingetragener Verein) in Germany and has officially been recognised as a non-profit association in 2011. In 2014 the world's first Pastafarian church opened in the city of Templin. The church was allowed to put up signs at some of the roads leading to the city to advertise their weekly noodle service on Fridays at 10 a.m., which is a common habit by various religions in Germany[1].

Semi-protected edit request on 28 August 2017

Please change the following claim, "The first legally-recognized Pastafarian wedding occurred in New Zealand on April 16, 2016.[6]" to "The first legally-recognized New Zealand Pastafarian wedding occured on April 16, 2016."

Reason: I was married in Des Moines, Iowa, Polk County on August 31, 2013 by the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Our marriage license was filed and validated with the Polk County Clerk's Office. Additionally, I don't believe mine was the first legally recognized FSM marriage because prior to getting married I read numerous testimonies on the legality of other FSM marriages (mostly in the US). AbominableLint (talk) 00:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Not done for now: G'day, unfortunately we cannot take people's claims as evidence of an event. We would need an independant source like a news website to state that, or an official statement from the FSM themselves. Uploading a copy of the marriage certificate would be unadvisable, however, would also be considered a reliable source. — IVORK Discuss 01:26, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

The request was not to add a new claim but to remove a dubious claim. That requires a lower standard of evidence. Ccrrccrr (talk) 02:20, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
