Talk:Linnar Viik

Internet guru???
What does "internet guru" mean? Wouldn't an encyclopedia be supposed to use neutral language? Where's The Viik Ashram and the choir chanting "Jay Jay Shri Linnar"?

Another bit of whining. A google search gives, on first page, three definitions of Mr. Viik: one defines him as a "guru", a second one as "Mr. Internet", and a third one (from 2010) as "businessman". Now guess which one of them is the most neutral and the least advertising.

It would be interesting to know what is actually his competence. One might guess research as he is an "associate professor" -- but there's no notice of him in www.etis.ee, so clearly he has no intention to do any research. In addition, he does not seem to have PhD. So listing him among "Estonian scholars" is not quite right as there is no evidence of him having done anything "scholarly" (except having been a "research fellow" for a year, but that was 20 years ago).

The Estonian version http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnar_Viik contains some "more informative information" about him.

He has donated to wikipedia, so he's a good guy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.233.71 (talk) 11:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
