Women’s Freemssonry

A recent edit added Women’s Freemasonry as a third branch or “recognition chain” in Freemasonry… however, my understanding was that these groups were already covered under “Continental”/“Liberal” Freemasonry. Is this not the case? Blueboar (talk) 12:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article review

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I have taken a look at the article and noticed the following:

There are uncited statements in the article.
There is an "unreliable sources" orange banner at the top of "Islam and Freemasonry" section. Is this still valid?

Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:52, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
