Talk:Andrew Nellis

Reason for mirror

I originally intended to mirror this article here as its subject is an anarchist. I prefer Anarchopedia's politics to those of wikipedia. The article on wikipedia was recently deleted without consensus. There was a majority but the majority was a group who had a personal vendetta against Andrew Nellis and had nothing to do with the content of the page. Oddly, I had also created an article on another activist in the Ottawa community running for mayor. Her article was not deleted as she is not known to the group online who know Andrew Nellis. --Fredm 14:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Great to see you here, Fredm, my innitial switch over from Wikipedia was also due to the issue of censorship, and from what i can see it's only getting worse in there. Please feel free to move over all the articles that you've create for Wikipedia here, since you are the author you don't even need to add any back links to Wikipedia, since you are the one who holds copyright in the eyes of the law, or if you release your works under public domain even better yet.  ~ Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) ^Talk 2006 September 27 15:23 _(UTC)

• This article has been deleted three times on Wikipedia and none of them was justified. They say on Wikipedia you need consensus to delete an article but there was a 7-7 vote. I think it's obvious at this point that the Wiki Admin do not like anarchists. The Anarchopedia entry is deleted and protected on their site. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to abandon Wikipedia altogethe but the anarchist in me want to fight.--Fredm 13:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

This about it this way, is the fight worth it? From one side it would be improtant to have our say in the large scheme of things. Peter Kropotkin for example didn't mind writing an entry on anarchism for Encyclopaedia Britanica. But if we approach the problem from a different perspective, why stay in the hostile environment, and keep it alive by doing so, when there are other remedies available. Wikipedia is going the way of IBM, it's gotten too big to be maintainable, so they are instituting so many rules and regulations that after being an active writer for a couple of years, you still don't know all the procedures.  ~ Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) ^Talk 2006 September 30 18:03 _(UTC)
