Talk:Pentti Linkola

message: I seem to recall that either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal reported that Linkola supports genocide in order to reduce human population to what he considers acceptable levels.  Is that correct? Michael Hardy 01:54, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Too many humans

message: I've uploaded a photo of Linkola in the Commons but I leave it for others to decide if its too low quality to be included here. Nikke 08:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: I think we really need some citations here. I just tagged article "unreferenced".
I also think the style in many places is poor and unscientific. Sure he is a sociable person and has been described as a good conversationist and having a good sense of humour but maybe we could describe this some other way than saying that "he has many friends"? Habiibi 14:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations and Style 

message: Saying Linkola has been accused of ecofascism has the very clear implication that this system of thought is in some way criminal or verifiably wrong. I consider such an implication repugnant.

replies: text:  If it's factually correct that someone is accusing him of that, that doesn't imply he's guilty.  I do think, however, that it's best to say who is accusing him.  Besides, I don't think there's any criminal code that defines an offense called "ecofascism".  Genocide, on the other hand, is a criminal offense. Michael Hardy 03:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't even see why it needs to be phrased in terms of "some have accused": the "eco-" and "-fascism" parts of the word are very well-defined, and I would further claim, verifiably applicable. Fascism: I quote from Merriam-Webster, "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti)...that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition". So...I'll repeat myself: I don't see why it needs to be phrased in terms of "some have accused". It can be put more simply, e.g., "Linkola is an ecofascist". -69.47.186.226 05:55, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: One isn't usually "accused" of being e.g. liberal or democrat so I guess Linkola is only claimed to be an ecofascist, not accused (although individual reader might consider such claims as serious and derogating accusations). I recall that Linkola has also commented on being labelled as such in some interview, can't however remember anything more specific. 62.78.227.13 (talk) 00:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not NPOV 

message: I found a fairly reliable article, written by Lyndon LaRouche adherents but referencing The Wall Street Journal Europe, describing Linkola's thoughts on overpopulation. Here's the paragraph I composed:
*
To me, it seems that this appearance of Linkola was widely seen and should be mentioned. I don't think it is too much of a problem that Executive Intelligence Review is published by LaRouche. I expect that they got the quote and the context correct. Binksternet (talk) 01:20, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: "A button I could press"

message: Could someone give an exact citation where and how Linkola has advocated eugenics. There is reference for the english language translation of his book but just now I have acces only to the finnish language original and cannot find the right page.--Urjanhai (talk) 08:59, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
