Copying within Wikipedia

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 11:52, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. In this case attribution isn't a major issue since I'm the author of virtually all of the passage. --Soman (talk) 12:07, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Third-worldism

What you call the "creed of unity closely enmeshed with the identities of Third World republican nationalism", others would remember as the alliance of dictatorships against democracies... AnonMoos (talk) 22:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

I take note that you've chosen to troll my talk page, rather than the page of the editor ranting conspiracy theories in the same thread. Speaks volumes. --Soman (talk) 23:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm not trolling -- it's a simple fact that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 (the only act of the United Nations to be formally repealed) was passed in large part due to an alliance between Communist dictatorships and Third-world dictatorships. I have difficulty reading and trying to understand Sagittarian Milky Way's postings in that thread (and don't really want to get involved), but your posting is very clear and easy to understand -- and kind of stuck in the 1970s. Many countries other than third-world & communist dictatorships worked to end Apartheid in South Africa, but you're welcome to take complete ownership of the vehement anti-Israel hatred which went a long way toward undermining the 2001 Durban racism conference etc. AnonMoos (talk) 03:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
P.S. Maybe it would have been wiser for me not to reply here, but thing is that your standard generic boilerplate rhetoric about "colonialist settler state" etc. etc. bla bla bla doesn't really bother me at all, but I found your "creed of unity" garbage (and the attitudes which it revealed) to be annoying in the extreme.

Well, we all get provoked by something. --Soman (talk) 16:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Regarding page move

Hi, hope you're doing well. You have recently moved several pages while trying to shorten subject title. Initials should be separated by blank space. For instance, A.P.J Abdul Kalam is incorrect. It should be titled as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. Thank you and happy editing. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 14:55, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

In South Indian names, the initials are usually not separated. Often there are no dots between the letters. For the example you mention, 'A. P. J. Abdul Kalam' is largely a Wikipedia neologism, and Encyclopedia Britannica used 'A.P.J. Abdul Kalam'. --Soman (talk) 15:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Anyway, you can request a page move on the article's page before moving a page with which you are not familiar. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
