User talk:80.254.135.177

To the anonymous editor at 80.254.135.177 repeatedly posting a link to a pdf download claimed to contain "unknown hidden interesting information" about Osho's work: "unknown hidden interesting information" is, by definition, "Original Research", i.e. precisely the type of information that Wikipedia is NOT for. You may not be familiar with the term "Original Research". Here is its definition, as given in the Wikipedia policy document on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Original_research –


 * Original research (OR) is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to unpublished facts, arguments, concepts, statements, or theories, or any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material, which appears to advance a position — or which, in the words of Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales, would amount to a "novel narrative or historical interpretation." Wikipedia is not the place for original research.

This is exactly what your document amounts to. It is a synthesis of published material which advances your personal position and reading of Osho's oeuvre. And your personal position is no more important than that of anybody else. Therefore, it deserves no special place in an encyclopedia article, which should be a balanced reflection of reliable, published sources, rather than a platform for personal theories.

If you would like to discuss this further, I invite you to do so on the Osho discussion page. Jayen466 19:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
