Wikipedia Doesn't Like Supporters of Rush Page

I tried to create a Supporters of Rush wikipedia page recently. Much to my disappointment, I discovered in short time that my page was selected for "speedy deletion". Apparently, pages dedicated to groups must explain the significance of their existence before they will be allowed to live on Wikipedia.

I asked for a better explanation about what type of content they were looking for. After all, what exactly do they mean by "significance"? Isn't it true that we are significant by our sheer existence? There are currently 87 members in our organization. That's larger than most meetings that I have attended.

Furthermore, this question of significance is rather subjective. To Rush fans who believe that Rush has been getting screwed by the RnR folks, our existence is highly significant. It demonstrates a grassroots effort to show that the fans count. After all, we are buying the albums that record companies produce. Shouldn't our choices by heard?

But the Wikipedia page may be dead for now, it is an issue that shall be revisited. It is not a priority and was more of an interesting afterthought. If anyone knows how we can make this page work, please create it or let me know what to do.

Keep up your support.

MSNBC talks about Rush not getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I recently ran across an article on MSNBC.com regarding Rush not being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is definitely worth checking out. Click here to find out why Rush isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

It basically sucks that bands like Run-DMC are managing to get recognized before one of the most successful bands in rock and sadder still that this band is a rap band. Despite the countless number of critics, it doesn't appear as though the Hall of Fame is going to budge any time soon.

Hopefully, fan efforts, such as this one, will end up making up some kind of dent in their resolve.

Is Facebook Another Temple of Syrinx? - Part Four

Well, it seems that my account has been restored on Facebook. After over three weeks of suspension, I received an email requesting information about my activities on Facebook. I had already explained what I did on Facebook when I was first suspended. I very briefly stated that I didn't do anything wrong and that this is a matter that should have been discussed much earlier. Much to my surprise, my account was restored. The interesting part is that my account was suspended because of an auto-refresh tool and had nothing to do with the fan club activity. Shame on you, Facebook, for giving me cause to speculate, but thanks for bringing me back!
