[edit] Alexander Wendt sure did a good job writing about himself

Though, now that I think of it, this is against wikipedia policy. I decided to look because the article about this obscure intellectual just goes on and on and doesn't even cite anything.

164.107.190.144 is the creator of this article, which links to none other than Ohio State University, which coincidentally is where Wendt teaches.

Requesting deletion... we dont need articles about arrogant morons who think quantum mechanics has practical implications to sociology.

I think you're confused. 164.107.190.144 is the IP of the first person to edit the talk page for this article. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Alexander_Wendt&oldid=35816643 to see what they said there. The article itself was created by 24.71.223.141, which is a Shaw Cable broadband user. I can't find any reference to an Ohio State IP address editing the article text at all.

Nevertheless, you have a point that most of the text in this article goes into a lot more detail than is really appropriate for an encyclopedia, and should be drastically trimmed. I'll take a stab at that. Thanks for pointing that out, though I really rather wish you'd just said so in the first place. :-) Tim Pierce 05:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] where is the rest of the article

that article was obviously written as part of a student paper on the book —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.139.211 (talk) 22:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
