What's going on?
User:ChrisO refuses to allow the linking to a particular resource written by an academic professor because he disagrees with the views expressed by that professor. Despite the fact that the professor is well published and writes with extreme clarity and documents and sources all of his statements, User: ChrisO persists in claiming that such views should not be allowed to be linked to. The professor is even *cited* in more than one wiki article because they are an expert in the field and have published an excellent book in the field (genetics & race). Despite the numerous points made by the above users, User:ChrisO keeps parotting the same line, and will not listen or respond to any of the arguments made. It seems likely that this is because ChrisO has a vested interest in keeping the work of this academic unheard; see here.


 * fixed links; please use, etc.., rather than  .  anthony [ cfc ] 20:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

What would you like to change about that?
Allow a thorough documenting of the articles on the professors site, and then allow a number of users to decide on what wiki pages, of those that originally contained links to the website, should be reinstated with links.
