It should probably not be a surprise to anyone that Wikipedia administrators saw fit to remove an accomplished composer, artist, producer, etc. such as Mr. Britting, likely due to his association with Miss Rand - long vilified by all post-modernist and marxists the world over. The fact that Wikipedia was founded by a "Rand-fan" is, I suppose, unimportant. The reason for Mr. Britting's apparent removal was that he was not "notable". Perhaps you should tell that to the New York Times, or C-Span, or the Ayn Rand Institute, or perhaps AMPAS itself, who nominated Mr. Britting's film for an Oscar in the "best documentary" category.
Well, I was sadly not party to the supposed debate that took place before the entry was removed. I promise to participate this time, and if necessary, I will sufficiently elongate the article and references to curtail any suggestions that Mr. Britting is not "Notable", by whatever half-rational standard used by the "masses" at Wikipedia.
Incidentally, while Wikipedia is a disastrous mix of misinformation, disinformation, slander, innuendo and just plain lies, I do like the idea of seeing at least a few heros among the ruins of what could be a genuine encyclopedia had Wikipedia's founder upheld a modicum of the philosophy that supposedly inspired him to create this mess. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shonstar (talk • contribs).
Thank you for posting your opinions. We are, however, an encyclopedia, not an opinion posting board, and if you wish to improve the article we encourage you to spend your time doing that instead of insulting the volunteers here. You may also find our policies such as civility, neutral point of view, and no personal attacks to be useful reading in your enterprise. Thank you and happy editing, Antandrus (talk)15:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
