[edit] World News Tonight

I think that the World News Tonight link should link to ABC World News Tonight, since it's the most common use of it. It is actually the ABC News nightly newscast. -- SNIyer12 21:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I have had an Objectivism Wiki up for several years at http://wiki.objectivismonline.net --GreedyCapitalist 14:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


Greetings and salutations! I just stumbled across your project and I am very excited about it. Although, I'm more than well aware of the "fall out" (had my own clashes with Al), and the bitter Tirades that ensues from them that just don't get it. I am a friend of Yaron Brooks, as well as a few others Notable Objectivist. I hope I can offer some assistance and learn more along the way. I look forward to hearing from you and getting some direction. Mystar 21:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sky News/Horrocks comments

Yeah I suppose the anon IP blanking should have been checked a bit - it is difficult with anon's, some are pure vandals, some have malicious intent, some are innocently making changes and some are actually decent editors who (for whatever reason) want to remain as IP no's. The problem with the story to begin with is that it was a leaked email, so Mr Horrocks himself isn't going to be clarifying his comments! The context of the email is with respect to Ian Blair, so I agree that it is too much of a jump to state that news outlets are using sky news (facts are that is unlikely anyway, the AP/BBC/Reuters newswires are still the dominant source for outlets, the sky news footprint is pretty small in comparison).

[edit] objectivism wiki

If you like I set up a wiki for objectivism here that you can take control of:

http://www.editthis.info/objectivism/

[edit] (another) objectivist wiki

I'd like to invite you to come help me establish [1]. Since you set up the wikiproject here on Objectivism, I'd be more then happy to give you SySop rights there so you can edit the main page, and protected pages (we've had a lot of vandalism). I along with User:GreedyCapitalist want to get this project off that ground.

Hope to hear from you. Crazynas 13:56, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Classic pop"

I notice that you've moved the page (originally created by me) on "Traditional pop music" to "Classic pop." I really don't want to have an edit war going on, so before moving it back I want to discuss this with you.

Before I created the article, I discussed the title with others; there is, certainly, no common name universally used for this kind of music. "Traditional pop" does have the point in its favor that the All Music Guide uses this term, and the AMG seems to be considered an important reference work.

I particularly dislike "Classic pop" because it sounds a bit like an oxymoron ("Classic" is too close to "classical" in my mind!) and also because many radio stations call their format "classic rock" (an altogether different type of music!)

Is there a reason you prefer the title you've chosen? -- BRG 13:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi BRG,
I didn't move the article as such - there were actually two seperate articles, one called Classic pop and one called Traditional pop, discussing the same basic "genre"/style of music. The article on Classic pop had significantly more information, so I merged Traditional pop into it. I've no objection whatsoever to Traditional pop being the overall title, so if that's the consensus feel free to change it :-) --Matthew Humphreys 15:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CGN

Never knew Classic Gold Network Limited has been sold off (well partially you say), although both our local One Network licencee, Marcher Sound and Classic Gold station, Classic Gold Marcher are broadcast from the same place. Is it just a corporate thing then, and doesn't really affect the stations themselves - and how come GCap stil has 20% (or was that inherited by Capital Radio)?
