Welcome

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (Warofdreams talk 11:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. I see that you are a former AWL member - are you now an ISG member? If so, that article could do with some work. Warofdreams talk 11:56, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth International

I like your rewording as to how other groups regard the USFI's claims to be the FI. Do the ICFI actually claim to be the Fourth International, rather than representing continuity with it? And doesn't Lambert's group claim to be the Fourth International? Warofdreams talk 15:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. It's probably best to reply on my talk page, as then I'll see it straight away. Some people prefer to reply on their own talk page, to keep all the discussion in one place, but then it's best to add a note at the top of your talk page stating that's what you'll do, so that they don't miss your reply. Alternatively, if the discussion is all about one page, it may be best to copy the discussion to the talk page of that article, so that others can read it and join in if they have an opinion. Warofdreams talk 13:06, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
One last thought on groups claiming to be the FI - don't the Posadists claim to be the Fourth International? Or perhaps it's just *a* Fourth International? Warofdreams talk 18:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No, Posadas, is founder of the Posadist Fourth International, founded in 1962.

Duncan, I've replied to your comment on my talk page. Rafaelgr 23:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for comments, will rework when I have a moment. I'm not sure if this is how I am supposed to leave a message for you - I'm new to the game. John

Permanent Revolution

It looks like you're doing a good job there. You're keeping your cool, and the dispute looks like it's down to a single sentence. I'd suggest keep trying to talk to Jacrosse, and consider whether the disputed bit could be rephrased in a way you'd both agree to (tho' of course that's difficult to figure out if you can't get a discussion going). Alternatively, make your position very clear and try to get some other people to comment as to whether they support you. Or even take a break from the article for a few days and see what happens when you get back to it. Best, Warofdreams talk 03:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Swe Comm

Hi. I see you've been writing a lot about socialism and socialists/communists.

I write a lot about the early Swedish Communist movement. As of now, I'm more or less finished with the articles on the two main communist leaders in Sweden, Ture Nerman, and Zeth Höglund (mostly based on these two guys' own autobiographies. And I plan to expand other Swedish Communists' articles as I read their autobiographies too. Right now I'm working on Karl Kilbom.) If you haven't seen them, maybe you would be interested in reading them, if you have time. It would be nice if someone who is into the subject, and a native english speaker, would overlook the articles, and maybe there are things that should be clearified for none-swedish people... or if they are too long, mentioning things that aren't of interest to none-swedish people. Feel free to edit. So, If you're interested and have time. Bronks 25 January 2006.

Thank you for the nice clean up work you did with the articles.

None of Ture Nermans writings have been translated to English (that I know). On the Swedish wiki-article for Ture Nerman, sv:Ture Nerman, I've put up one of his poems, which he wrote during the october revolution to honor and support the bolsheviks. It's a very tough, alive piece, almost violent. The poem is called Till Bärget, For The Mountain, and he compares the Bolsheviks with the most radical people in the French Revolution.

On the Czechoslovakian border thing. It can be a misunderstanding I guess, or Nerman remembering it wrong. He mentions it in his autobiography, which was written in the 1950s, so Czechoslovakia existed then, and I guess that’s why he use that word. -Bronks 29 January 2006.

PS. I've altered the text about Czechoslovakian a little.Bronks 29 January 2006.

Thanks! I looked at the poem. I can't really read Swedish, but I know Dutch and German, so I get the flow a little. --Duncan 17:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here, I made a quick translation of that poem. It looses a lot of its momentum without the rhyme, but you get the point…

For The Mountain

Hurray, the Revolution is still alive!

it goes all the way to Neva’s water

On Tsar Kerensky’s grave stands the men of life

Lenin, with Zimmerwald’s feather in his hat

When everyone has betrayed the hopes of the starving masses

and when the Girondist cowardly have left the scene

when words fail and when the bubble burst

then it is your time, you Bolsheviks of the Mountain

Enough now with grand words and empty speeches

Justice demands hand, not tongue

Sounds of worry from inside king Mammons hall

Door in! Let the whole house fall

Burn the rubbish down to ashes

and from it, erect the Dictatorship of the Proletariat

salute revenge, salute workers and farmers

the Battering ram, the Bolsheviks of the Mountain

Blood? Violence? Well, the masses

Are in movement...

You will never create world peace

in silk gloves writing resolutions

Down with all the type writers

we will not die for any "homeland"

we’ve had enough of sugar and kind words

salute action, salute the Bolsheviks of the Mountain

A world in death agony sees its life in you

Humanity prays victory for your flag

Gods of freedom, send you armies down

to help bring dawn in all lands

In the sun you’ve lit again in the east

see, the centuries greatest mission in burning fire

History writes to you

your act of salvation, you Bolsheviks of the Mountain

Ture Nerman published in Folkets Dagblad Politiken November 11, 1917.

AWL

Yes; there's not much on the web on the RLC members, but [1] and [2] mention them attending an international meeting. Searching for a link on Solidarity in the US is almost impossible as all the hits are for the Solidarity newspaper, but any AWL supporters who move to the US are advised to join, so there are a couple of supporters in the group. Warofdreams talk 01:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Really? AWL supporters have moved to the US? Fascinating. It's a tiny group: I spent several years in the group can can't recall anyone moving to another country. --Duncan 12:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No one in AWL has moved there, its supporters in US Solidarity are Americans who share its politics. Haldraper (talk) 18:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shachtman

I've updated the Shachtman article. I'd appreciate it if you take a look at it and help monitor any "close colleague" modifications. Thanks --metzerly 02:42, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the correction - I sometimes forget the distinction between the war and post-war views. Jacrosse is editorializing once again, and he is currently battering both French Turn and Max Shachtman. I'd appreciate your help in guarding against this. Thanks again. --metzerly 03:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will likely be seeking mediation regarding Jacrosse if he continues his revisions. I would appreciate it if you participate and alert other interested editors. Thanks--and apologies for bombarding your talk page. --metzerly 22:49, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/French Turn, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

French Turn Moderation

I've been assigned to moderate the dispute on the French turn. See you there. Thesocialistesq 05:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shachtman etc.

It is indeed a bit of a mess isn`t it? --Isolani 18:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But this can`t go on forever, he's bound to get banned at some point? right? To me, the entire issue is completely irrelevant, I think I edited a typo out of Schachtman and added it to my watchlist.. God knows what kind of mire I may have stepped into!

--Isolani 19:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably "maar van binnen koken we" :-D

--Isolani 19:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well I have had the advantage of having had a strict education in a very old fashioned rural grammar LOL, I was actually made to read 60 literary works in 4 languages for my matric-letters exam (though, to be honest, I was probably the only student in the class who actually did read them!)--Isolani 19:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As Wikipedia is not a planned economy, I`m afraid you should hunt and gather to find your fill of user-boxes. ;-) Actually, I am currently assisting examiner for the prelim oral examinations at matric level. No literature is asked for, as we have given up on even trying to get students to read. They will out-cheat you any time. We try to read a novel and a play in the groups over the course of two years, and that's it. I feel like an old fart at times, making a reference to, say, Byron and having your students look at you as if you mentioned something exceedingly awkward. --Isolani 19:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your userboxes do reveal some fascinating information. A Trotskist with an MBA? There must be a fascinating story behind that combination.... --Isolani 20:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

French Turn & Max Shachtman

At this point Jacrosse is engaging in obvious acts of vandalism without even beginning to comment on the talk page. An admin can ban him simply enough... but not permenently. I don't think Jacrosse will sit down to talk with anyone at this point (i could try one last time if you'd like), so your best choice might be arbitration, however nasty it may sound. If you go down that path, you should begin assembling the other parties to this dispute and build a case. If that's what you do, i'll back you up all the way. Thesocialistesq 13:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Duncan. Everything's fine--though I've been really busy. I'm willing to go through an arbitration process, but I'd also be open to reporting Jacrosse for rampant vandalism. At least 2-3 administrators have involved themselves with Jacrosse, so this wouldn't be coming out of nowhere. --metzerly 21:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Duncan, thanks for the invite to join in, but my contributions were really only fixing a few links, and I don't really have any feel at all for the subject, so I think I'd better stay out. Good luck, though, in reaching a solution to it all, and sorry I can't be of more help. --BrownHairedGirl 22:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in on the arbitration... Thesocialistesq 10:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you would like to weigh in here...

Comment on Talk:Neoconservatism

Hi, Duncan. I left a message responding to your comment. You can find it here. Thanks for all your help in this. Jacrosse is a frustrating, perhaps impossible, editor to work with. If his intransigence continues, I am more than willing to go through the arbitration process. Hydriotaphia 17:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Duncan. What's the update concerning arbitration? --metzerly 00:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case you didn't see: Jacrosse was at it again today --metzerly 00:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duncan: Thanks for your message on my talk page. Yes, I would like to be a party involved in the arbitration; I believe my experiences with Jacrosse should be known. Should I add my name, or should I wait for you to do so? Best, Hydriotaphia 14:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jacrosse arbitration

I'll try and help where I can. My involvement with Jacrosse was principally on the neoconservatism page. There was a mediation request for Neoconservatism as well: Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Neoconservatism. It never got going, because no mediator was available to take it up. You might want to contact the parties to that mediation to see if they're interested in joining the arbitration. As for a statement, I think I'll wait until evidence is asked for, at which time I'll troll through all the User constributions, article histories, talk page history, and block logs to help out.—thames 15:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence at Jacrosse arbitration

Hi there, Duncan. The evidence page at the Jacrosse arbitration is open for contributions. I encourage you to contribute there; you know more about Jacrosse's original research than I do. I have added what I can on other issues. Best of luck, and thanks. Hydriotaphia 15:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Business Schools

I'm new to this, so please excuse any missteps, and please understand my reluctance to undo somebody's edits. You removed some words "advertizing Kaplan," which makes some sense (but Thunderbird and others are similarly advertized in the remaining article--I included Kaplan not to advertize them, but to provide an example of such schools). Why did you also remove reference to the non-university business schools, which are much more numerous and touch many more lives (and for which "business school" is a U.S. idiomatic name)? Maybe the article should be renamed Graduate Schools of Business, or B-Schools, or similar. A basic point (truth?) is that only a minority of U.S. "business schools" are university graduate schools. (I'm a graduate of the university type, and I occasionally teach in one of the other type.) Lou Sander 20:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on Ivy League business schools

Thanks for your suggestions. You mentioned that I should try to win consensus for my POV, but I don't think that's necessary or constructive when I'm trying to police edits made by a particularly deceitful user. Read the talk page fully to understand what's going on there. I can see in your edit history that you have removed content from other articles without first discussing on the Talk page. When such edits are clear and necessary, I've made them, and it appears so have you. MBAguy 19:34, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation of disruptive behavior by User:GO WHARTON - please help

You seem to have expressed an interest in mediating the dispute over the promotion and reversion of NPOV edits to Ivy League business schools. If you're still interested, I'm writing to request that you help out, reviewing the talk page IN DETAIL and make up your mind as to what is going on and take appropriate action. Policing his disruptive edits is taking just way too much of my time, and my frustration is showing, to my embarassment. Thanks. MBAguy 04:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked GO WHARTON and MBAguy...

...for twenty-four hours for violation of the 3RR.

I'm probably a little out of bounds on that because I don't know that either of them have ever been told about the existence of the 3RR, but I've done it anyway.

I reverted three of the six articles so that half are as last edited by one and half as last edited by the other.

Comments or suggestions welcome. Dpbsmith (talk) 10:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth International

I've been through the article and added various citations. Where I haven't yet been able to find a source for a statement, I've added a "citation needed" tag. It'd be great if you could fill in some of these missing citations - I know some of them are for paragraphs which you researched. thanks, Warofdreams talk 23:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've sourced as much as I can - are you able to find any more? The "unity discussions after 1963" section has particularly few references. thanks, Warofdreams talk 22:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for those. When I have time, I'll move statements for which we have no references to the talk page, or where possible reword them. Oh, and the Summer School was excellent - good debates, and busier than the last few. Warofdreams talk 23:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pandelis Pouliopoulos

First of all, I would like to say that you are doing very nice and informative work on aticles on socialism in Wikipedia, including, of course, the article on Pablo. I would like to bring to you attention the aricle on Pandelis Pouliopoulos, the not so famous as Pablo but important Greek trotskyist (or, as you put it for Pablo, "of Greek origin"). I have added a few lines, including a photo, and I am planning to add, little by little, a few more things as I am also writting a Greek version. Please read it through and make any possible edits. I was wondering also if any book or article by Pouliopoulos was ever published in English. Many thanks in advance, --Michkalas 12:56, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Institute of Industry Analyst Relations, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Institute of Industry Analyst Relations. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

CS

please have a say at the ongoing blankettings of the Socialist Convergence (Mexico) article. --Soman 12:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not misrepresent my edits, since I'm not deleting anything. I'm merging and redirecting a minor topic to its appropriate page (National political association) as per Wikipedia:Redirect. That stub won't be expanded beyond the text it currently has until (if) it becomes a proper political party, thus justifying the redirect. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First please read Wikipedia:Redirect. The important bit here is that the edit history remains where it is (the Socialist Convergence article). Also there is no loss of information since exactly the same text has been copied to the National political association article (please read the entry there) and links, both internal and external, have been preserved. This is the only reasonable way to handle mergers of articles, unless you also want me to merge the edit history, which is actually quite a messy task. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's no more information in the standalone article. The only great difference is the politics of Mexico template and the sentence on national political organizations which you wrote yourself. The three lines in the NPA article are pretty much a verbatim copy of the stub. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now, don't you twist my words. I clearly stated above "there's no more information in the standalone article." The line you wrote about the NPA takes information that it is in the main article itself, which is not new content that would be missing out in the merged article.

Right now I wonder whether I should bother discussing the issue at this point in time, since so far I've been called a vandal, had my edits misrepresented and misquoted while acting within the guidelines and in good faith. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 17:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies accepted, of course. However in all fairness I believe that you, as the mediator of sorts in this dispute, should also have a word with Soman (re [3]). See also my own ranting reply in the article's talk page. -- Run e Welsh | ταλκ 14:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a novel experiment by Wharton School and MIT

I wanted to invite you to participate in a novel wiki experiment by Wharton and MIT – leveraging the knowledge and experience of community to write a book together, to be published in 2007. The focus of this new book, tentatively titled We Are Smarter Than Me, is just that: a guide to the landscape of community knowledge and the identification of key principles to harness it. Organized initially around the major business functions and processes, the book will contain case studies of successes and failures, and commentary on the lessons learned. But most importantly, this book will (we hope) be written by hundreds or thousands of people, each listed as an author.

Using wiki technology, the purpose of our experiment is to determine whether a community approach applies to book-writing, and to harness the knowledge of the community to advance the state of management. You can learn more about how this will work by visiting http://www.WeAreSmarter.org

To ensure the success of the venture, we've enlisted some additional resources to provide support. We're forming an advisory committee of faculty and industry experts, led by Tom Malone, a senior faculty member at MIT who heads up the Collective Intelligence Laboratory. Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, has agreed to serve as a member of the Advisory Board as well.

You are invited to participate in the project in a variety of ways. This would include, but not limited to, making contributions to current chapters, or creating new chapters if you believe the current structure is too constraining (you can review the current chapter structure on the website). Or you can simply monitor the chapter(s) you feel are most relevant, and you can provide commentary and content as you feel necessary. If you are interested in participating in this project, please visit the project website to learn more about the project and to sign-up as a project participant.

ISG and party box

I think the party box works well on the ISG article, and in the articles of other groups which do not regard themselves as parties, such as the CPGB(PCC) or AWL. Despite its name, it doesn't state or even imply in the actual text that the organisation is a party. Many of the fields are appropriate to the ISG, and to other similar organisations. It does still need a logo for the ISG, though. Warofdreams talk 23:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lutte ouvrière

The scetion you removed was certainly written quickly -by myself - and needs cleaning up for POV. Nevertheless the questions are important. In France the first thing which people think of when they think of Lutte Ouvrière is their discipline, semi clandestine methods, and their general opposition to their comrades having children. These characteristic do not come from nowhere, but from the idea, at the origins of LO, that petty bourgeois attitudes were the cause of the failure of the presvious generation of trotskyists... Surely this is not simply ireelevant ? Nor is it a reflection which comes particularly from S.I.... John

I found a moment to add two important points, this time with references to the LO weekly paper, references easy to check on the web. Hope you are happy :=) john

Icke is notable. There's no article for Zarcharia Sitchin. --Duncan 10:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think he means Zecharia Sitchin, and who determines when an author is notable or not? He is who and what he is.--Mataharii 06:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability can be made concrete. For example, Icke and Sitchin have more than half a million references on line: John Coleman + spy gives 12,000. --Duncan 10:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism and abuse

Hello Duncan, and thanks for your help. As you have probably realised, the edits that you reverted were but a small part of a concerted campaign against me by one or more Zionists, supporters of Steven Plaut. For more details, see User:RolandR/Vandalism and [[Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Runtshit]]. So far, using nearly 80 different user ids, this vandal or group has defaced scores of Wikipedia pages, obliging many editors to spend time clearing this up. Unfortunately, Wikipedia seems unable to put a stop to this, and the vandalism continues daily. Any suggestions you have will be gratefully received. RolandR 23:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why cut the link to the de.wikipedia? It might be useful for some people... --Duncan 13:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Duncan. From my experience on Wiki, this seems to be common practice to have the interwiki link in bottom of the left column - as we also do on the RSB article. So the link is not cut, but not as highlighted. I just considered the edit as minor formatting. If you prefer it the other way I will not object. Cheers Bertilvidet 14:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you misunderstood my comment

I noticed you modified my comment to make it appear I was repying to myself here Talk:Fourth International#Commie Propaganda Article [4]. I presume you thought I was replying to my earlier comment with an additional point. In fact, my intention was to make an additional comment in reply to the original comment by Scott Adler. As such, I have changed back my comment to be in line with the comment I was responding to. In future, if you believe someone has made a mistake, it is better to contact that person first Nil Einne 07:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Imperialism

For now, I'll leave the reversal of my overhaul of the "Imperialism" section in the "Leninism" article on ice. The reason why I edited it in the first place was to standardize any section in any imperialism-related article that pertained to Lenin's stuff. Already I have done that for Imperialism, Anti-imperialism, and Theories of New Imperialism. Darth Sidious 23:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stanley Krippner

I don't know what the category "Psychedelic proponents" really means; sounds like a way to get people in trouble. Krippner does lectures on the Shamanic use of psychedelic substances among different cultures, like Ayahuasca and peyote, and is an admirer and former colleague of Leary, McKenna, and Wilson. He definitely supports the idea that these substances can be used in sacramental and beneficial ways, and that the research should not have been made, nor should it remain, illegal. I guess he is as deserving of this category as most of the rest on its list. Knowing him, and having heard him speak several times, I think he'd agree. Rosencomet 18:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, no... I meant labelling people that way in public print sounds like a way to get them in trouble. :-) Rosencomet 18:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alumni of Templeton College, Oxford

I noticed your edit summary that you couldn't get this category to appear on the parent page - it is there, but you have to click through onto the second page. Wikipedia, annoyingly, splits the sub-categories between pages as well as the articles when there are lots of members in the category - frustrating not to be able to see all the sub-cats at once, but beyond our power I think! Just thought I'd mention this although you may have worked it out already. Best wishes, Bencherlite 19:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know, I confess - nothing about it on the Templeton website news section, so I suspect a WP:CRYSTAL problem if no decent source can be found. Bencherlite 19:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RESPECT

Hi, I changed back to include the support for Solidarity- however I mentioned George Galloway personally as a review of press reports doesn't indicate whether his support is personal or on behalf of the party.

merging Fourth International

again, I will be working in my free time in the next few days to deliver a draft of a MERGED ARTICLE, but for the meantime, you can help a LOT if you can point out communities that departed from the bulk of the Fourth International to form their own association, it would be great if we have the date and cause of their divergence, THANKS

and also, which of these groups actually claim to be THE 4th int'l, Thanks

Unsigned comment on Columbia

Duncan: I added the Certificate in Business Excellence because, at Columbia, completing the program grants you full alumni status. You receive all of the benefits of an MBA grad, sans the degree. Since there are no other executive education programs at an Ivy League school that grant alumni status, it will not result in a clutter, or any more entries.

GMAT

It was extremely generous of you to offer help. But I think I am doing ok, since I am going back to my old school. So as long as I score decently on GMAT I should be fine. Hm, London Business School, that would be far more than awesome, but it's a bit too pricy for my taste :) Renata 18:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:4044.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:4044.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:4044.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:4044.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 13:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty of Humanities

There are a lot of Faculties of Humanities, and Wikipedia is a world-wide encyclopedia. May I suggest you change the title to "Faculty of Humanities, University of Manchester" or similar?

Political Dweeb's reply

User: Political Dweeb has a second question which I think I've previously asked.

It's if this is the political position of Trotskyism then which Trotskyist internationals and groups believe in this idea of opposing the idea of forcing the world to exist without all of its religions but also believe in the natural end of religion's existence?

I hope my questions are suitable and constructive.Political Dweeb (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.228.121 (talk) 12:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User: Political Dweeb wants to give an explanation. Thank you Duncan even though Wikipedia may not be the place to discuss this I still wanted to ask you about this article of Lenin's. I tried to read and understand what it was generally saying and its relevance to the ideology of Trotskyism. I think what its saying is that with the relationship between religion and socialism people who believe in Trotskyism therefore don't believe that religion's existence will naturally end but that there will be a "Complete separation of Church and State is what the socialist proletariat demands of the modern state and the modern church."

Apart from that I think Trotskite socialists possibly believe in "Everyone must be absolutely free to profess any religion he pleases, or no religion whatever, i.e., to be an atheist, which every socialist is, as a rule" and that religious societies and churches "should become absolutely free associations of like-minded citizens, associations independent of the state."

I think this is what the ideology called Trotskyism of political organisations, parties, movements etc believe in. Please let me know if this is true. I apologise for this being a long explanation but I was only trying to understand the connection between Lenin's article and the ideology of Troskyism. Please let me know if what I have said should be improved thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Political Dweeb (talk • contribs) 14:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC) BJBot (talk) 05:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Political Dweebs Second Reply

User: Political Dweeb here is sorry to bring this topic up again but you do not seem to have answered the paragraph under the article "Political Dweeb's reply". I don't know whether you wanted not to answer it because you'd didn't want to discuss it or it was that you just didn't notice the paragraph.

What I wanted to ask you was about the second reply you gave me on Trotskyism and religion on my Users: discussion page, when you said "Marxists are for religious freedom and for the separation of church and state. However, we also think that religion will wither away slowly under socialism."

Do you mean that is what Trotskyites as well as Marxists believe in? Apart from that would Trotskyites tolerate or accept the ideology of religious communism and socialism? Political Dweeb (talk —Preceding comment was added at 16:14, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Trotsky, descent

Hi DuncanBCS -

I don't have an issue with either wording. Still, I don't understand your explanation. Obviously, in order to be a target of antisemitism (or any other kind of prejudice), it is not necessary to be something (whatever that is); it is only needed to be perceived as something.

For example, some may think that Georg Cantor may have been a target of antisemitism at some point in his career; certainly, a text from his father is read by some as indicating that possibility. Now, Cantor is a predominantly Jewish name, but Cantor's ancestors turn out to be particularly hard to trace. (He himself was a Protestant theologian whose father and whose mother happened to be a Protestant and a Catholic, respectively.) Does this mean that Cantor could not possibly have been a target of antisemitism? No.

At the end, what we have to be careful about is the following. Antisemitism (and other forms of racial and racial-like prejudice) defines its targets in a certain way. It is best to report on the effect that antisemitism had on this or that historical figure, without falling into the trap of defining this or that historical figure as antisemitism does.

Of course, somebody can be a target from antisemitism *and* come from a strongly Judaic background that it might eventually be worth mentioning, but that does not seem to be Trotsky's case.

On a different subject - antisemitism was certainly a factor in White Russian propaganda against Trotsky, but Stalin's hatred for Trotsky may have preceded his descent into antisemitism (and other forms of paranoia). It does not seem to be the case that Stalin was antisemitic in his youth, though he was never forcefully opposed to antisemitism. Feketekave (talk) 20:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cannon and the SWP

Duncan, I'm not sure the fact that the SWP self-identifies as 'Cannon's party' and publishes some (expensive) editions of his works is decisive. The question is to what extent the SWP/Pathfinder tendency are a continuation of Cannon's or indeed Trotskyist politics. As you know, in the 1980's they explicitly rejected many aspects of those politics, expelled the surviving Cannonites, split from the USFI and later formed links with North Korea. In the 1990's, they declared that the only revolutionary forces in the world were themselves, the Cuban CP and the ANC. How does any of that make them 'Cannonite'? Under Barnes, they have clearly evolved into another species of political organisation that Cannon would neither have joined nor survived long in if he had. Haldraper (talk) 08:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's the question. The continuity of 'Cannonism' isn't the sort of article we could have in Wikipedia (and who in the SWP called themselves Cannonites, that's really just for the AWL). Cannon founded the SWP, The Militant and Pioneer/Pathfinder. They don't only publish his books, they identify as the continuity of his struggle to maintain communist continuity in the United States. One can't have an article on Cannon without referring to them. --Duncan (talk) 08:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not against mentioning them, just having a link that implies today's SWP stands in the same political tradition as Cannon.Haldraper (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In so far as you and I do, so do they. --Duncan (talk) 22:26, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reunified FI

Hi Duncan, as per the discussion on its talk page, are you OK for this to be renamed 'Fourth International (1963)'?Haldraper (talk) 09:02, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duncan, rather than revert the move and then reopen the debate on the talk page, could you expain why you object to 'Fourth International (1963)' and prefer a name - 'Reunified FI' - which no-one, including the FI itself, uses?Haldraper (talk) 10:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the main FI page again, I'm convinced the extra page on the USFI/Reunified FI after 1963 is unnecessary and the material not already on the main page could easily be transferred to it. The only other pages would then be those who did not take part in the reunification or split later, i.e. Posadists, ICFI, Lambertists, Pabloites, Morenoites.Haldraper (talk) 17:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's a better solution. --Duncan (talk) 07:59, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RSL and FI

Duncan, as I understand it, the Grant group were expelled from the FI at the same time they were expelled from its British section - Healy's Club - in 1950. The Club was the FI's British section up to the split in 1953 (when the Lawrence-Lane faction in the Club who supported Pablo-Mandel joined the CP). The Grantites formed the ISG before fusing with supporters of the ISFI in Britain as the RSL in 1957 and were then recognised as an official section. I would therefore argue that the predecessors of the RSL as the BSFI were the Club between 1950-53 and there was no official section of the ISFI between 1953 and when the RSL was recognised as such.Haldraper (talk) 17:30, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken. Lawrence was a delegate from the British section at the Fourth World congress organised by the IS and, after he walked out, co-operation developed very quickly with the Grant group. --Duncan (talk) 00:12, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right but for the wrong reasons. It is true to say that the BS of the ISFI led by Lawrence in 1953-54 was the RSL's predecessor as the official section but there was a gap between 1954-57 when the ISFI didn't have a section in Britain. Their supporters who produced the 'FI' magazine and fused with Grantites in 1956 as the RSL weren't recognised as an official section until the fifth world congress in 1957.Haldraper (talk) 13:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proletarian Military Policy

Duncan, I think it was the last version that was highly misleading by implying that the Marxist position before the PMP was one of individual abstention/draft resistance rather than going with the class into the armed forces. The real debate about the PMP as I tried to show with my edits was whether raising such demands, for e.g. that the State fund trade union-controlled miltary training, meant taking political responsibility for what both sides in the debate characterised as an imperialist war. I think that point is borne out by the fact that the Trotskyist groups in the US and Britain who supported the PMP - the SWP, WIL - and those that opposed it - WP, RSL - all instructed their members to submit to conscription, as indeed they would have done in WWI to encourage fraternisation etc.Haldraper (talk) 15:22, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how consensus can be developed using your inbox, rather than the article's Talk pages. If this is the method you normally use editing facebook, then there are some risks that the discussion on content is not collectivised, or becomes a discussions between two people.

I'm not quite a 90-percenter writing on mainpages, but it's an aspiration of mine to make the grade as a couple of my WP role models are. Time spent on things like this two-plus day extravaganza discussing a move that you yourself advocated nearly four years ago is time lost writing. That's a huge loss when similar multiplied by the 5,000 or however many heavy WP volunteers there are in the English Wikipedia.

Back to the topic at hand, will you acknowledge that we have basic consensus on the question brooked at Talk:International Socialist Review? If not, please do state your case on the talk page there and we'll bring in as many people as you'd like to help us make the call. I put out the call to the Socialist History workgroup this morning, using neutral phrasing on the question. I'm not certain if you seek further participation than that.

I do not know if this has been discussed before but this page is really about the Spartacist League of the United States, with only a few tibits about the other sections of this "International".

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Proposed deletion of International Group

The article International Group has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This group only appears to be notable insofar as its relationship to the International Marxist Group, the article for which already contains most of the relevant information and could easily have the rest moved over to it. Given that this article only has one inline citation, which is a permanently dead link, I propose this article be deleted.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
