Are the state lottery and the casinos freemasonry or antimasonry related?

Question is meant seriously because I do not want to write nonsense in the Wiki. --82.207.238.157 (talk) 04:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok… I will answer in good faith… there is no connection between Freemasonry and Casinos, or between Freemasonry and the lottery.

Nor am I aware of any significant antiMasonic sources that say there is some sort of connection. Oh, I suppose there could be someone out there who says it, but if so - they are fringe of the fringe… even by antiMasonic standards.

In short… it’s nonsense. Blueboar (talk) 13:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Anti-Masonry/archive" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Anti-Masonry/archive and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 1#Anti-Masonry/archive until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 05:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

This article must handle its subject neutrally, and anti-Masonic individuals are known to been anonymously targeted and murdered by Freemasons as described by the article.

Thus I see no reason that the article itself should rely on sources that are pro-Freemasonry, as any such embedded information could compromise the online safety of Wikipedia editors operating within archival systems of Western governments.

Wikipedia deserves an Anti-Masonry article that is not compromised by the linguistic ranks of Freemasonry, and I expect to be protected from assassination by Freemasons as described in the article. Jellocube (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

poor argument--what are the reliable secondary sourcs you are using? Rjensen (talk) 01:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Factual inaccuracy

I find it ironic that Jellocube complains about the article containing factual inacuracies, and then immediately adds a factual inaccuracy. William Morgan was NOT a member of the Anti-Masonic party. That political party didn't exist until after his kidnapping, disappearance and (likely) murder. In fact, it was the "Morgan affair" that caused the formation of the party. I will also note that Morgan was never particularly anti-masonic. Yes, he wrote (and postumously published) an exposé of Masonic rituals... but that was done more as a way to make money (which he desperately needed) than any anti-Masonic sentiment on his part.
