Third World Socialism

Hi, regarding the article Third World Socialism - it looks like, perhaps, the beginnig of a reasonable article, but at present it doesn't have any references at all. Without any references to back up the facts, it is likely to be deleted.

I hope you might be able to improve it by adding references.

Any questions etc, please ask me on my talk page.

Regards,

American Populists category

Just curious, would you mind explaining why you're adding so many names to the American Populists category [1] [2]? There doesn't seem to be consensus for this. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 22:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Martin Luther King, Jr.. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Martin Luther King, Jr.. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask you in what way you considered that source unreliable and the paragraph after it POV. The source is autobiographic, yes it can't be proven, but so can't mr. King's autobiographic texts in some cases and many other memoirs, so until proven otherwise its factual. None of those comment on the populist tradition were POV, maybe unnecessary on the MLK article, but a needed background (based on the Populist Party (United States) article) neverthless needed for the background of an influence on his (and the Civil Rights Movement's) ideological background. But thank you for the advise, waiting for more suggestions and comments on this. user:Lususromulus

Read my edit summay. I didn't say the source that is cited for the quotation is unreliable. But everything after the quote ("The original populist movement ... for more on this see Populist Party") has no citation therefore is unsourced. Additionally, your addition of bold font to the text is POV because it is your interpretation as to which words should be emphasized. Furthermore, some of your wording is POV and is at the least unsourced and at the worst unnecessarily inflammatory ("racist Democrat populist William Jennings Bryant"). If you don't think making a charge of racisim against someone without any effort to provide evidence is OK on Wikipedia, then you have a lot to learn about editing on Wikipedia. And finally, the section has numerous spelling errors.

This is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox to push a particular POV. I suggest that if you want to add the information to the article, you first need to discuss it on Talk:Martin Luther King, Jr. and wait for a consensus, if one emerges. That talk page is the appropriate venue, rather than my or your talk pages, so that the larger Wikipedia community is aware of the issues. Ward3001 (talk) 22:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the entire paragraph on background of the populist movement is mostly superfluous for the MLK article. It really has very little direct relation to MLK. At most it should be condensed to a few words and incorporated with the quotation. But it's your option to discuss this on the talk page.

As for Bryan's racism, I'll leave it to you and other editors to decide whether he should be called racist, although it should not be in the MLK article. Also keep in mind that attitudes from over 100 years ago, although not justified, must be viewed in a different context from attitudes today. Racism was predominant at that time in the USA. Even though that is a horrible reality, it is possibly biased to single out one person and emphasize the racism of that person more than many others from that time. But I have no expertise on WJB, so you should discuss that with other Wikipedians. Just be careful using the term "racist" without some solid sources to back it up. Ward3001 (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since we have already established communication, I will not template you for POV this time, but is there some part of WP:NPOV that you don't understand? Adding bold text to a quotation is your interpretation of which words should be emphasized. It is unnecessary, and worse, it imposes your point of view on to the quotation. Please stop. Thank you.

List of populist parties

Please don't WP:CANVASS people, asking them to do such or such in an AfD. It is heavily frowned upon. Notifying people in a neutral way that an AfD is happening is more acceptable, as long as you don't only post to those people you suppose will vote in yuor preferred fashion.

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Kuomintang, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Stating that the KMT is a communist-esque party is nothing more than a political WP:POINT. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 02:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although your edit may be plausible, be sure to make a comment on the article talkpage next time, so that we are all clear on your intentions and a proper consensus can be made through dialogue. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 12:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the search bot notice from the page and replaced it with a close paraphrase tag. I can tell you didn't blatantly copy the whole page, but a few sentences are taken directly from that U MN page. I added another reference, but you should consider rewriting the closely paraphrased parts of the article. Regards, PDCook (talk) 17:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
