[edit] Meaning of Manifesto
Where did the word come from?
- Manifesto is what linguists call a neoclassical word. Some pseudointellectual in a post-classical era wanted to come up with an important-sounding word for his list of alleged truisms, and so used the Latin word Manifestus, meaning "clearly evident", but changed the ending slightly. --Kaz 19:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unabomber
Wasn't Kascinzky's self-defense published in Hustler called "The Unabomber Manifesto"? It may be considered the manifesto of the Neo-Luddite or anti-technological movement...--Rockero 03:08, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Resistance Manifesto
Somebody added the Resistance Manifesto. This document looks more like a book of conspiracy theories than a political or artistic manifesto in the traditional sense. They also placed it out of chronological order. I'm considering removing it, but I'll wait to see if I get any responses.--Rockero 01:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Good eye. The Resistance Manifesto is a one-man campaign focused on sucking and removing the Georgia Guidestones, a stone monument. The man, called "John Conner", has been a very persistent problem over the last year or two with the "Resistance Manifesto" article (it was VfD'd but he kep re-creating it).
- See also: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Conner, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Resistance Manifesto.
- If his project ever gets off the ground and becomes notable then there'd be a reason to have an article about him or it. -Willmcw 07:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Workers' Rights Manifesto
I removed this line:
It's an external link (no Wiki article) and doesn't appear to have been published anywhere besides the site to which the EL points. It doesn't appear to be notable enough for inclusion.--Rockero 21:04, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The opening of the Manifesto page is identical save for a switch of words near the end to dictionary.com's primary definition of the word. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I don't know if this truly constitutes a copyright infringement, especially since I'm not sure whether dictionary.com's definitions are their copyright, but I thought it was worth pointing out, anyway.
