[edit] Info on Bandung Fe Institute

This talk item is copied here from the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Systems page

I had deleted a link on the Santa Fe entry to the Bandung Fe Institute (BFI) in Indonesia. Everyone should be made aware that this institution not a true institution in the usual sense, but is run by some amateur college drop outs. It lacks any credibility; one may verify this fact simply by visiting their website and reading any of their so-called "papers". An entry for Bandung Fe Institute was recently deleted from WP due to a Notability issue which I had raised in the former Talkpage there. A blog entry which discusses the Bandung Fe Institute as academic hacks can be found [1].Erik incognito 02:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess you mean the following link:

• Bandung Fe Institute Research Institute for Social Complexity Studies in Indonesia

I restored it here to take a look as you suggested. - Mdd 11:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

In the blog I read: "Whatever they’re doing, they seem to be doing all the right things." It seems to me that those guys are making a nice start. However, listing this institute here a related to the Santa Fe Institute is far-fetched, and doesn't seems right because their seems to be no formal relation between the two. - Mdd 11:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
