I believe you will do what you think is correct. That said, the disputes that took place on Wikipedia because members of AOIR did not want to share the stage with either TCFIR or the organizations of Tim Berniers Lee.

I requested intervention and this is the first I have heard since 2010.

TCFIR has membership, directors and publications from notable figures. The membership rivals AOIR in numbers. The issue of "notability" is subjective at best. We feel that we have the right to some recognition but that of course will be decided by your editors.

As requested we have stayed away from Wikipedia. I don't wish to get involved in the edit war that happened in the past. We do feel that if you look at the editors involved you will see some unfairness. Particularly on the part of Buridan and Alex Halavais but they are not the only AOIR members involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wreid (talk • contribs) 20:36, 9 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment I closed as copyvio, but that is my error, and I reverted it; it has an acceptable cc0by-sa license. Whether there is notability might be another matter, but I will let someone else close properly.  DGG ( talk ) 16:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
