Talk:International Paneuropean Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Members

I searched for "Abert Einstein" "paneuropean union" with google. The only thing that didn't seem copied from The paueuropean union website, suggests that Einstein wasn't a member at all, that he was one of many intellectuals in correspondence with the union: .doc file HTML version I can't say I can consider the paneuropean union as a reliable source for who's been a member, they have an interest in perhaps exaggerating things a bit. --Lijnema 23:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it seems that the only source for all pages in a Google Search are the Paneuropa-Union websites, some Artentinian personal sites and the German Wikipedia, whose source is also paneuropa.org. I hid the Einstein comment until somebody explains what kind of relationship he actually had with the organisation, whether real membership or only a supporter of the idea.

But, was it not enough to have agreed with the idea in those early times to be considered a member? Was there a legal international corporation already to be a legal member of? Would it be a good idea to call all of them "known members or supporters" instead of only "members", for people not to discuss the accuracy of the webstite's information?. If not, I think this discussion will never end, with people asking for more proof on this or the other real membership, until the membership section is completely hidden or deleted, which will not be helpful for the article readers...

I think it would be a good idea to remove all "famous members", because there's nothing to back up that they were members or in even agreed with the ideas of the Paneuropean Union. If there are no sources to back it up, then it shouldn't be on Wikipedia. --Lijnema 21:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
