Talk:Neo-Objectivism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am Nick Otani, of NickOtani'sNeo-Objectivism. I was honored to see my board referenced under this article on Neo-Objectivism, but someone removed it recently. I am trying to put it back. I do think I am a credible source of information on Neo-Objectivism, especially my version.
I suspect that my name may have been removed by someone who has something personally against me and is just being mean, not having the interest of Wikipedia in mind. If this is wrong, if a responsible editor can give me a reason why my link was removed, please do. I would like to have a dialogue with such a person here.

- I removed it because it appears to be fairly small and non-notable (see WP:EL). I would have removed the other forum link as well (Objectivist Living) but it appears Nathaniel & Barbera Branden actually post there. -Objectivist-C 05:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
What happens now? I don't think my board and website violate Wikipedia standards. Are you simply going to force your will? What can I do to make you leave the link in and stop calling it spam? Why not post on my board, get to know me, and find out whether or not I am an acceptable source of information on Neo-Objectivism?

- I'd suggest requesting a third opinion. -Objectivist-C 05:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Let the third opinion come to my board, talk to me, ask me questions about Objectivism and Neo-Objectivism and philosophy in general. Let him or her research my website connected to my board. Let him or her search my name, NickOtani, on the internet. Then, let me know what I have to do to get my board up to standards if they still arn't there already. Don't just blow me off. You wouldn't like that if someone treated you that way, would you?

[edit] Third Opinion
I've removed it per WP:RS. Bulletin boards are never considered to be reliable sources by definition. Furthermore, your particular bulletin board is non-notable and would not be large enough to warrent it's own article per WP:WEB, thus further confirming it's inappropriateness for the article. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 20:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Good editors don't put apostrophes on possive pronouns. You'd be inappropriate on my board.

[edit] Objectivist Living
I edited this page to correct a link. After I edited it, I saw that it was removed. As I edited it without establishing an account, I presume that the removal was due to a doubt.
Our site www.objectivistliving.com was severely damaged recently by a hacker, so we migrated to a company with strong security and changed IP companies. This interfered with previous links, which we are trying to find and correct as we remember them.
As has been noticed in another discussion here on Wikipedia, the Brandens do write for our site (as do several other prominent independent Objectivists). We also include articles, not just discussion.
Have you changed your policy or may we put the link back? We will, of course, respect your judgment.
Michael
