Lacking notability

While Professor Pelinka doubtlessly is a very well-known political scientist in Austria, and the number of downloads of the German language Wikipedia entry is regularly above 500 per month, the download statistics of the English language article are currently very well below standards. In the month of November 2011, for example, there were 653 visits to the German language Wikipedia entry, but only 9 visits to the English language entry, suggesting thus that the entry could be deleted.

Download statistics for notable German political scientists in the framework of the Pelinka entry

Just to demonstrate the point, made earlier, here are the Wikipedia visitor statistics for a randomly chosen English language Wikipedia entry for a major German political scientist, Dieter Nohlen:

September 2011 449 October 2011 354 November 2011 542 December 2011 477 (including Dec. 26)

The visitor statistics for the Pelinka page raise the question about the global notability of this scholar, his good standing on the Austrian 'home market' notwithstanding.

The Pelinka visitor statistics are incompatible with a true global notability

Look at this: the Pelinka visitors on the Wikipedia page, according to the official Wikipedia statistics over the last 6 months:

Article needs updating on Wiesenthal Institute of Holocaust Studies

The second photograph and the text below it should be updated.

The Wiesenthal Institute of Holocaust Studies notes on its official Website the following:

The Board of Directors is the operative organ of the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute of Holocaust Studies (VWI). Its members are elected for a period of three years from among the proper members. Alternatively, the members of the Board of Directors may be delegated by the representatives of the supporting organizations. The Board of Directors reaches all operative decisions that have not been expressly delegated to the management, including:

•all personnel decisions,
•drawing up and executing the budget,
•realising the research, documentation and education program on the basis of recommendations made by the International Academic Board.

In structural decisions, the Board of Directors may decide on an order of business for the Board of Directors. In this order of business, the Board of Directors regulates its own decision-making processes as well as delegating competencies to the VWI management, which is answerable to the Board of Directors on all matters. Current members of the Board of Directors are:

Chair: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Georg Graf (University of Salzburg)

Vice Chair: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Brigitte Bailer (Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance)

Vice Chair and Secretary: Dr. Ariel Muzicant (Jewish Community Vienna)

Vice Secretary: Dr. Berthold Sandorffy (Simon Wiesenthal Archive)

Cashier: Assoz.Prof. Dr. Bertrand Perz (University of Vienna)

Further members of the board: Dr. Danielle Spera (Jewish Museum Vienna) Dr. Juliane Danker-Wetzel (Task Force for International Cooperation in Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research - ITF)

Notability: download figures are now on track

The above mentioned figures of Wikipedia download statistics might be perhaps explained by seasonal cycles (students are on vacation from time to time et cetera); recent figures are well above 100 per month and approach 200 or exceed 200.

The second photograph is contradicting the Wikipedia article on the Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies

The Wiesenthal Institute photograph has to be removed. International and Austrian quality media report extensively on the conflict with the Jewish Community in Vienna (IKG) over the Wiesenthal Institute. The English language Wikipedia article on the subject mentions the events:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Wiesenthal_Institute_for_Holocaust_Studies

I just mention one particularly important interview by the long-term President of the IKG, Dr. Ariel Muzicant in the Weekly Profil:

http://www.profil.at/articles/0947/560/255698/gemeinheit-pelinka-ariel-muzicants-vorwuerfe-anton-pelinka

and in Hagalil:

http://www.hagalil.com/archiv/2009/11/20/wiesenthal/

Foxnews reported from Vienna in the following way:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/07/28/dispute-leaves-fate-holocaust-institute-in-question/

The US Embassy, according to Wikileaks, cabled a report on the issue to the US Department of State in Washington:

https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=09VIENNA987

Haaretz reported: http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/fate-of-vienna-holocaust-institute-teeters-amid-dispute-1.280898

"VIENNA - The future of an Austrian institute for Holocaust studies was cast in doubt yesterday due to a dispute with the city's Jewish community. The Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies began provisional operations in January after being stymied for years by funding problems. Its aim, among other things, is to let scholars from around the world carry out research projects using the roughly 8,000 files of the late Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and parts of a vast archive belonging to the Jewish Community Vienna. Last week, the institute's seven-member executive committee resigned in protest, asserting that the Jewish community was blocking access to its archive, the Austrian newspaper Der Standard reported on its Web site late Monday. [...] Jewish community president Ariel Muzicant denied that his group was blocking access to the archive, and said the lending issue was addressed in a detailed and carefully prepared contract submitted to the institute's lawyer on July 17. "The accusation that access to the archive of the IKG Wien (Jewish Community Vienna) is being denied to the VWI (Vienna Wiesenthal Institute) does not conform to the facts," Muzicant said."

Whatever way, the photograph is now simply inappropriate John de Norrona (talk) 10:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
