[edit] Sai Baba of Shirdi
Could you please quote the exact fragment from the book that says that there are several other gurus claiming to be the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba? Krystian 13:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I will check. I may have included Bala Sai Baba in the counting. Andries 14:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Misunderstanding at List of charismatic leaders as defined by Max Weber's classification of authority
The list is only used for charisma in a Weberian sense of the term which differs significantly from the everyday loose use of the word. There is no inidication that any of the mentioned sources for Louis Farakhan use the term in a Weberian sens of the word. Andries 14:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please read the references again (and please don't rashly remove them), and then notice this sentence in the charismatic authority article: "As such, it rests almost entirely on the leader; the absence of that leader for any reason can lead to the authority's power dissolving." Some of the references refer to the Nation of Islam dissolving w/out Farrakhan's charismatic leadership. Also, other than a sentence or two, would you please care to lay out Weber's exact 'theory' of charismatic authority as you have read it to be? (and please quote the PRIMARY source[s] either here or on the TP). As of now it all seems rather arbitrary, with you all just adding/deleting whomever you feel is most 'appropriate.' I'll also remind you all (again...) that Weber was not the first person to write about charismatic authority/charisma; he was just one of the first people that attempted to 'systematize' it. --WassermannNYC 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- I also wonder why you aren't fretting so much about the new (entirely unreferenced) "In business" section that someone recently added to the page? --WassermannNYC 15:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

- I had read the references before I removed them. Andries 15:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
