Opening statement about legitimacy does not express the nuance and is OR

The statement "There is some division as to whether it should be regarded as a parody religion, and if so, to what degree" is original research. We are not to combine multiple citations to generate a new Idea. Insted we are to find secondary sources that do this analysis for us. None of the citations state there is a a conflict of opinion, and all state it is a parody religion. A better line could read:

According to its primary historian (Adam Gorightly) Discordianism was founded as a parody religion. Many outside observers still regard Discordianism as a parody religion (Lots of citations). Some of its adherents claim its legitimacy as both a metaphor for a governing philosophy and a religion to be taken literally.

Incorrect "TITLE" in footnote number [9]

This comment / question is based on this version of the article, -- (the "14:01, 29 June 2017‎" version) -- which was the latest (current) version when this section was added.

Footnote number [9] currently has a "title" field [value] of "Internet Archive Wayback Machine", which IMHO is misleading, and it is probably based on (maybe even robotically / automatically set, based upon?) the "archiveurl" field [value], which is currently "https://web.archive.org/web/20091027092923/http://geocities.com/bloodstar84/pd_metaphysics.html" (OR ... maybe it's based upon the contents of the "web.archive.org" page that is pointed to, by that "archiveurl" field "link"...).

IMHO, the TITLE should probably be [something more like] "Principia Discordia" (or, maybe "an excerpt from [a certain 'chapter' of] Principia Discordia").

Also, does anyone have any advice about whether the problem of the original "geocities.com" website being defunct, should be solved

[a] as currently encoded in the wikitext, by keeping the "url" field of the "cite web" template [instance] pointing to that original "geocities.com" web page, and just using a "Wayback machine" ("web.archive.org") URL for the "archiveurl" field;

OR

[b] by instead, changing the "url" field to point to (that is, to link to) the "reocities.com" website instead (note: "reocities" with an "r", instead of "geocities" with a "g".)

-- ? --

Any comments would be welcomed. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 02:33, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Sacred Chao and Pentabarf

Although the Sacred Chao is referenced several times in the article, no effort is made to explain what this is, or that it is a punning reference to the sacred cow of organised religion. And although typing Pentabarf brings the reader to this page, there is no mention made on the page either of this thing, what it is, or that it is a parody of the Five Pillars of Islam.
