The name of the [[RBE10K|RBE10K Project]] is contentious as a result of the inclusion of the accronim '''''RBE''''' as part of the name. Since [[TZM]] and [[TVP]] have been invested for several years in the advocacy of a form of [[RBEM]] which is dissimilar than that of the RBE10K Project, should the project become popular, the variances introduced by the project to the concept of a RBE using the same name could cause confusion and adverse effects in the perception of the objectives TZM and TVP have pursued throughout the years. Considering the longer history and invested effort in promoting TVP's original form of RBE, some TZM activists consider appropriate requesting that the RBE10K Project be renamed to prevent such potential confusion and adverse effects in popular perception. | The name of the [[RBE10K|RBE10K Project]] is contentious as a result of the inclusion of the accronim '''''RBE''''' as part of the name.

+ | since the introduction text to this article is not editable (at least not that I can see), I will write this here: | ||
+ | |||
+ | the introduction text of this article paints the situation in a false light. the mention of "TZM" and "TVP" in the introduction text makes it appear as if the matter of the name change were in any way related to TZM or TVP, which it is not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | for a factual discussion of the matter of the name change, please remove the mention of "TZM" and "TVP" from the introduction text, because these mentions create an incorrect bias. | ||
+ | |||
+ | also, the pre-given structure of this wiki article creates a lot of bias. there are several "chapters" about "TZM" and "TVP", which have nothing to do with the matter of the name change. other relevant points seem to be missing, such as the definition of an RBE and the definition of sustainability. | ||
+ | |||
+ | the setup of this page is highly biased, includes things that have nothing to do with the matter, and excludes things that are very relevant for the matter. | ||

# The number "10,000" or "10K" is deliberately not used because, even if this project currently calls for a minimum of 10,000 volunteers to host the first settlement, what happens if the number exceeds 10,000? What happens if that number falls below by a slight margin, yet the experiment is still followed through? Keeping all viable options open to bring this project to fruition, the number 10,000 seems to be too flexible a variable to include in the title of this project. | # The number "10,000" or "10K" is deliberately not used because, even if this project currently calls for a minimum of 10,000 volunteers to host the first settlement, what happens if the number exceeds 10,000?

# ''Resource-Based'' was included, firstly, as a compromise from changing the original title in its entirety, and, secondly, because the settlement does, indeed, seek to employ the overlaying tenets of an RBE in theory, even though they may be doing so inconsistent to the manner in which the proposal exists in TVP's literature. | # ''Resource-Based'' was included, firstly, as a compromise from changing the original title in its entirety, and, secondly, because the settlement does, indeed, seek to employ the overlaying tenets of an RBE in theory, even though they may be doing so inconsistent to the manner in which the proposal exists in TVP's literature. | ||
