John Lear removed from wikipedia

I have seen the article on TinWiki -- good work!
For any who missed it: tinwiki.org...

ALSO, "John Lear" IS still in WikiPedia -- just not in English!

Example: sv.wikipedia.org...

Multilingual "friends of John" should make as many non-English entries for him as thy can. Maybe the WORLD can shame the Wiki editors into doing the right thing by this great American!

By way of introduction, I was active on the old Greater Pittsburgh UFO/ET Forum, as a founding member of the steering committee. The Forum was not on line, but held public UFO meetings in Pittsburgh, PA for several years on a WEEKLY basis. To our knowledge it was the only weekly open UFO forum held anywhere in the States at the time (I believe we disbanded not too long after the 50th Roswell anniversary). We spun off a contactee support group, had TV exposure, and did other good works, even if I do say so myself...

My introduction to Ufology was "Flying Saucers from Outer Space" by Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe, a hardback I found in a Salvation Army bin for $1 as a boy of about ten. There was no better way to get hooked!

This is a stunning book by an actual distinguished officer involved in some verifiable high level programs. The movie adaption Earth vs. the Flying Saucers is a classic as well as a definate possibility of Keyhoe's knowledge of vertain events.
I mean the story seems to mimic some of what is now known quite well in both the high tech and UFO belief worlds. Travel between time theory,electro magnetic fields,Alien Ancients,bio enhancement suits,etc... Its all there.
And yeah Im sure John will be back up on Wiki soon. I keep sending a new complaint on this every couple of days since I discovered the omission.
Johns so legit in the Aviation realm that its scary and all verifibly factual.
Crazy place these "internet's".

Has anyone here actually read the Wikipedia guidelines? I posted an article in the other thread as to why the article was deleted.

It's clear why the article was deleted but all people here seem to be interested in is vague handwaving and complaints of conspiracy.

Personally I think Howard Menger is way more interesting and credible than Lear! Menger was also predicting alien bases on the moon and Venus long before Lear.

Yet another nail in the coffin for Wiki's credibility death. They have decided they will determine what is an area of notable study and activity - NOT their audience.

Wrong. It would be the death of Wikipedia if they didn't have standards for anything, including notability. The guidelines are developed by the consensus of Wikipedia contributors and readers. If you don't like the standards, or don't understand them, then perhaps you should voice your opinion at Wikipedia rather than ATS.

You can propose your own standards at the link below.

Oh, you got confused some where. I don't care enough to voice anything at them. And I think I can still speak my opinion of them here at ATS on this subject, right?

I make extensive use of Wikipedia, and I'm sure I'll continue to do so. But this is a very good example that demonstrates (as if we needed further proof) that although Wikipedia has its place, it ain't all that and a bag of chips.

If you want to do research on-line, Wikipedia is a good place to stop by, but a bad place to just stop.

Kudos to our own Tin Wiki, which keeps growing and improving. And I wish I had more time to contribute to it.

I agree with that assessment yeah. Wiki is a good place to START research. It is not the place to think you found the gospel.

Thinking you'll find 'gospel' anywhere is your first mistake...

I'll drink to that! Howard didn't predict anything. He actually went there! I just fantacized about it.

Also Phil Schneiders page is gone, i wonder why

thats just creepy. i tell my friends about this stuff and they think im weird..

i guess they don't believe because if everyone actually believed in this they wouldn't believe in god then that means everyone would be robbing banks and stores... wouldn't you think so?

John lear was removed from Wikipedia because the things he says are true, if he doesn't have any credible information about himself for people to research they are going to assume he's lying which could be far from the case.
