Talk:BASE Institute

Article Name
Should this article be called the BASE Institute or the Bible Archeology Search and Exploration Institute? Also, whichever one is chosen, we should probably include a redirect from the other. I don't know how to do that though, so if someone does know, could they please do so? Titanium Dragon 20:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I vote to use BASE Institute as the article name, because 1) That's the way the name appears on the organization's own website, and 2) The page was created with this name first.
 * I've created a redirect page with the name Bible Archeology Search and Exploration Institute. Aardvark92 21:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps these articles should be swapped--"BASE Institute" is much more likely to later need to be a disambiguation page. --64.232.164.68 23:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Base Institute Staff
The BASE Institute homepage lists only one person under "Who We Are". Does anyone know if this is just a one-man show? If so, that should probably be noted in the article.
 * I don't know, honestly, but it wouldn't surprise me. If it really is just him, though, we probably should just merge this with his article and redirect to him, and put a section in his article about this "organization". Titanium Dragon 21:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * He describes himself as the President of BASE; however, his webpage has two seperate emails, info and webmaster, so I'm guessing that there are in fact at least two members to his organization; a webmaster and himself. It should be noted they have a P.O. Box rather than an actual street address, though, but that might just indicate they don't have a physical group residency and rather are a group of people who call themselves by that name. It should also be noted that their contacts page metions that their staff members are located around the world, and though that is very vague it does indicate there are multiple members. Of course, it could all just cover that he is a single individual, but that seems somewhat unlikey given the expense involved in some of these expeditions. Titanium Dragon 21:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Its basically a one man show selling self-published books surrounding religion, but there are some "staff." ---Cornukechecker 03:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


 * info and webmaster mean nothing--sending email for multiple addresses to one account is trivial. Also, both of those names are more or less standard on the Internet. --64.232.164.68 23:38, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
