From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ridpath did not make these edits; I, Ryan Jamieson of the Toronto-area, did. Here is some supporting evidence:

(1) Ridpath's birth YEAR (not date) was obtained by inference from his year of mandatory retirement (in 2001, he was age 65).

(2) I personally interviewed Ridpath while I attended York University as a student in 2000. I also witnessed first-hand his interactions with other faculty members in light of their philosophical views.

(3) When I asked him about his relations with colleagues at the University, he told me a number of prominent, tenured professors tried to have him fired; he was an anathema.

(4) Like many Objectivists, Ridpath is an admirer of the U.S. Founding Fathers, including Jefferson.

(5) During our discussions, he told me he had a son, Jefferson, who worked with computers; I discovered his son's web page via Google.

If you want more proof that it was I, not Ridpath, who made these edits, I am happy to supply it.
