Talk:One People's Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The One People's Project is a group composed of two people that have attracted public attention to themselves. There are currently featured in "The Nation". Their accusations against white activists have been challenged in court, and they have lost, thus there is no reason their accuracy cannot be questioned.
This page was recommended for deletion by an anti-racist activist who, without any factual knowledge or basis, has attacked numerous well-documented posts.
- Besides the fact that this is EXTREMELY POV, it falls under the speedy delete category for lack of notability and information. If you have any other information to add to make this more encyclopedic or refrences to notability, please add them. Otherwise, this is a speedy delete and shall remain so.

Additional sources were added and the "delete" was removed. Anti-racist activists apparently do not like attention being focused on them, and are BSing "speedy deletes" for some of my pages as a result. I am not 100% familiar with Wikipedia etiquette, but if there was some better way to resolve this, I would appreciate knowing about it Baxter2
I'd like to point out that I nominated this article for deletion because, at the time, it had no verifiable information and it was terribly POV, until it was fixed by Baxter2. I'm certainly no anti-racist activist, whatever that means :) Sarg 18:39, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unuseful links
- While controversial, the One People's Project accusations against their political opponents have not always held up in court (Roanoke City Trial Transcript). The One People's Project, whose slogan is for "activists who don't play nice", has also had its credibility marred by the arrests of some its activists, just as Erica Hoesch, for both non-political criminal activities and criminal activities related to her involvement in the group.

I cant' find the OPP mentioned in the transcript. Also, the court case information system isn't showing much of anything on them either. Are these the correct links? Thanks, -Willmcw 22:50, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Questionable entry
The One People's Project website has the following commentary on its front page:
PROOF THAT BILL WHITE NEEDS A LIFE Many of us who trapse about the internet have found our way to an online encyclopedia called Wikipedia. This encyclopedia allows visitors to publish and edit entries on a person, topic, etc. Of course, this policy lends itself to abuse, and the operators of the website have often deleted entries that are questionable. That may need to happen soon.
This week, a few entries that a user named "Baxter2" seems to have a hand in authoring were published. One of them is for Bill White. Another is for Erica Hardwick, another for Chuck Munson of Infoshop.org, yet another for Tad Kepley of Anarchy! Magazine and then one for One People's Project. All of them put a negative light on all of their subjects, except one - Bill. In fact, the negative things said about each of the other subjects are exactly the same charges and same spin that Bill puts on these subjects on his own site, Overthrow.com. In his user info page, "Baxter2" notes that he had came to Wikipedia to "flesh out" the article on Bill White, and while he was there contribute to the other entries. He listed the entries he had also contributed to, which included the above as well as one for Jennifer Adams, who White lived with for a spell in Missouri (we think it has since been deleted). It should be noted that Bill was bitching earlier this week about a Wikipedia entry on him, and it is very curious to us how "Baxter2" has the same writing style and talking points that Bill has. Based on this, we think that Bill is the actual author of all of these entries, and is basically trying to use Wikipedia to give credibility to the BS he normally posts on Overthrow that has long been discounted as a credible source.
We have contacted the folks at Wikipedia and asked them to investigate the matter, and we hope to hear from them soon. As much as we would like the entry, truly there are better authors than Bill--we mean "Baxter2". We are posting this to let our readers know not to trust the current entry on us or any that "Baxter2" is associated with.
Oh, and Bill? Get over yourself. With the ongoing investigations of HUD and the FBI (no they did not drop them, you idiot), one would have thought that something would have broken past your dellusion that you are accomplishing something.
[edit] To Daryle Lamont Jenkins
If you're reading this, I'd like to take the opportunity to let you know that we take personal threats and the publication of people's public information on this website very seriously. We have removed this information about yourself as soon as we saw it. If you see it again, please let me know on my talk page or on WP:AN and we'll sort things out as soon as we can.
P.S. on a personal note: if you're against racism, you're cool with me! :-) - Ta bu shi da yu 05:31, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
This wikipedia entry doesn't even pretend to be NPOV. It reads like a self-serving autobiographical release from the organization. It should be completely rewritten or deleted.--PW1000 19:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree with PW1000 This is ore like an advertisment than a NPOV. Can somebody please re-write this entry and amke it Npov? RichardLangford 20:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
The article has been edited, but if others should go over it and see at it is not as NPOV as it originally was. Elyrad 02:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Partly Rewritten
The article was extremely (favorably) propagandistic and bloated. I have revised the first three paragraphs. I do not have the time to finish right now, but may later.
[edit] Reference removed
I have removed all reference to Mootstromfront because that fragment of the OPP article was untruthful. OPP was not the birthplace of the Mootstormfront discussion board.RichardLangford 00:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
As the owner and primary admin of Mootstormfront, I have to disagree - OPP's forum was in fact where virtually all the principal founding staff members of MSF - Descendant, Rach, Otter, myself and a number of original members not on staff - met and joined forces, although some others were culled from the Opposing Members section of Stormfront.
I'm therefore reverting. I was there, and unless I'm mistaken, you weren't.

I have looked through MootStormront and can find no evidence that what you claim is true. The OPP has it's own forum. I believe you are trying to latch onto the OPP to advertise your website. Wikipedia is not an advertising service. RichardLangford 00:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC) I have also removed the redirect from mootstormfront to here, and bagan a new artilce for mootstormfront. Edit that one and tell people about your forum and stop hijacking others for advertising puposes.RichardLangford 00:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
