Merge with Joseph S. Nye Jr.

A page titled Joseph S. Nye Jr. already exists as well.

What year was he born? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.220.22.141 (talk) 05:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Razor Blades ?

I'm skeptical of the claim that Nye "pioneered the use of colombinium in stainless steel alloys to improve the sharpness and durability of cutting instruments including scalpels and razors." since it is completely detached from his undergraduate degree and subsequent career path. I've given it a ^{[citation needed]} for now but perhaps it should be removed until we can a source that backs up this claim.

Additional book Nye has written

I'm new to Wikipedia and don't feel comfortable yet editing an article. Could someone with more experience make the following addition please? Joseph S. Nye, Jr. (Joseph Nye) wrote the book "Nuclear Ethics." Here are the particulars: Book title: "Nuclear Ethics." ISBN # 0029224608. Published by "The Free Press" which is a "Division of Macmillan, Inc." Copyright 1986. Published 1986.

Bill Nye the Science Guy

I think it should be noted that Joeseph Nye is Bill Nye the Science Guy's father. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.206.212.103 (talk) 03:50, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This information is not correct. Bill Nye and Joseph Nye are not related. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.234.182.54 (talk) 01:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Libya

Mother Jones has released information about Nye's consulting work for a firm that was doing what looks like PR for Gaddafi. Nye has confirmed to Mother Jones that he was paid to produce an article on the dictator for New Republic. New Republic is claiming they did not know he had been paid for the work and has since updated its story. This is an extremely serious ethical breath and should be treated as such. Any assessment of his work must from now on be informed by this fact. I have included the information in the post. A removal on ground of "editorial" or "wiki" what ever will look very much like an act of censorship and white washing. Rober1236jua (talk) 21:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that removing this information would be censorship. The only thing that makes Nye remarkable is his work as a propaganda whore for a bloody dictator. Without that information, he's just one more left-wing pinhead in the Harvard echo chamber. 76.103.102.240 (talk) 09:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa whoa whoa....that's not a good way to be persuasive about the inclusion of the material. Can we please refrain from the name-calling directed at WP:BLP? I agree that there should be some mention of the article but having it be about 40% of the article violates WP:UNDUE. Perhaps it should be incorporated into the body of the article in 3 or 4 pithy sentences? Chillllls (talk) 02:41, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the section about Libya under our WP:BLP policy. Chillllls (talk · contribs) has begun a discussion of this material at WP:BLP/N#Joseph Nye. I strongly urge the regular editors to wait for consensus before restoring the material. Given the possibility that User:Josephnye could be the article subject, it is unwise to get into a revert war with him. Let the dust settle and try to get the facts out first. I had thought I could fix the paragraph by adding more references, but it's tricky to get right, since both the Nation and The New Republic tend to paraphrase his objections, not quoting them directly. And if we succeed in producing a correctly qualified version, maybe we are making too much of this anyway. Perhaps we could come up with a shorter version that just says there was a difference of opinion between him and certain magazine editors. EdJohnston (talk) 03:34, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excerpt ...

... 2012 presidential candidates should read, four picked books by Joseph Nye, ... his thoughts on global governance in a world where U.S. dominance is slipping. "Two great power shifts are occurring in this century," he writes, "a power transition among states and a power diffusion away from all states to non-state actors." He thinks the second may ultimately prove more disruptive. But don't call Nye a declinist. He argues that despite America's current difficulties, the U.S. economy is still more vibrant, and U.S. culture more influential, than China's.

New headers

Hey guys, i added some sub sections into the life and career section to break it up a bit. I think it is more esthetically pleasing, kinda cleans it up. 2MuchCoffee (talk) 04:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Best idea and Worst idea

The introduction makes it appear as though what has been judged as his best idea is a carbon tax and what has been judged as his worst idea is climate change denial. In reality, these are his views on what constitute a great idea and a terrible idea. This needs to be changed as it is misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.32.195 (talk) 06:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. This was indeed very misleading, and I have removed it. InverseHypercube (talk) 20:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

adding an audio interview with Joseph Nye to external Links

I did a one hour interview with Joseph Nye that I think would be of value to the wikipedia community. As the person who did the interview, posting it would be a wikipedia conflict of interest. So I am providing the info, so a wikipedian can decide whether or not this is appropriate.

'Joseph Nye; Soft Power, Smart Power; The Future of Power' Interview broadcast on WNJC 1360AM Rob Kall Bottom-Up Radio Show posted as podcast on Opednews.com in March 2011

I would appreciate some feedback on the ethical way to proceed, since I have other interviews I've done with notables on wikipedia. thanks,

rob kall

External link to interview on nuclear policy?

Would an interview with Joseph Nye from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_908DE510DE294060AC9A37A69E7B670D (I helped with the site, so it would be conflict of interest for me to just add it.)
