Would it be appropriate to mention Phelps-A-Thons in the Responses section of the article, perhaps below Patriot Guard Riders. I listed a few of the bigger Phelps-A-Thons^[1][2] in the counter-protest section, but believe it would make more sense to have a Phelps-A-Thon section, as Phelps-A-Thon.com is a website dedicated to counter-protesting WBC. Phelps-A-Thon.com has been organizing anti-WBC fundraisers for at least two years, since December, 2008.^[3] I don't know of any other groups whose sole mission is to oppose WBC, expect for the Patriot Gaurd Riders, which does have a separate section. Please advise. --'Emilyg78 ^talk 08:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emily, it's quite clear that your main purpose here is to promote Phelps-a-thon. I don't know if you're involved in it or what, but Wikipedia has guidelines about having a conflict of interest and using Wiki for promotional purposes. No article is meant to be a chronicle of all the events Phelps-a-thon has done, so I've removed a bunch of the entries you added to this page. I don't think the website is nearly notable enough to get its own section here. As a side note, I've tagged the Phelps-a-thon article as not fulfilling the notability criteria. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 12:55, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a history section, when the church was founded and such.--Tomvasseur (talk) 19:02, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On October 23, 2010, The WBC planned to picket Buffalo Grove High School's production of The Laramie Project, over 150 students alone showed up to counter-protest, but the WBC failed to show. Please add this under "Counter protests" link to story http://www.arlingtoncardinal.com/2010/10/23/no-protest-by-westboro-baptist-church-storm-ends-positive-demonstration-by-buffalo-grove-high-school-students/ — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|PresidentHanson44 (talk) 23:02, 8 December 2010 (UTC)]] comment added by PresidentHanson44 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As stated above, we aren't going to include every protest and counter protest. The fact that a protest didn't even occur makes this one exceptionally non-notable. Beach drifter (talk) 13:05, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then what about the "Theater Cedar Rapids" story where they counter protested, but the WBC was a no-show?. If that can be included, why can't this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.231.176 (talk) 19:25, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Westboro Baptist Church is protesting in Raleigh, North Carolina at the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards at Edenton Street United Methodist Church on December 11th. I think this should be added. Google it, it has recieve much news coverage. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:49, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Westboro Baptist Church Anti-Mormon as well? If so, I think there should be a section on the church's views of Mormonism under the religion section of the article. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If someone wishes to add such a section, here's a link from one of the WBC's websites on Mormonism: http://blogs.sparenot.com/godsmacks/2010/12/25/godsmack-murderous-mormon/ --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 02:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
