Small anarchist movements in Asian countries

[edit]

As it currently stands, the List of anarchist movements by region links to about 90 articles covering anarchist movements by various regions. In the course of my research about anarchism I have found information on Asian anarchist movements in many places that exist outside of the listed places that are too small (in my opinion) to warrant their own article but in my opinion should still should have some kind of mention. This is already done in the Anarchism in Africa, which covers smaller anarchist movements that only have a couple of sources (Angola, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and so on).

The main country I have in mind for the moment is Lebanon. Which there is evidence for a limited anarchist movement in.

So I can see 4 possibilities

  1. Create an article titled "Anarchism in Asia" - which I have experimented with in draftspace
  2. Overhaul List of anarchist movements by region to include specific information about anarchist movements in each country
  3. Do both of the above
  4. Do not do any of the above

What are peoples thoughts? AnarchistHistory (talk) 21:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my question would be is whether there is enough information out there about these smaller movements to justify such a macro-article. The Anarchism in Africa article manages to put together at least a single decent-sized paragraph for each of its regions listed; is there enough out there for minor Asian movements to have multiple sections with at least one paragraph of information?
Also, while there have been books and articles written about anarchism from a pan-African perspective, I don't think I've come across many written from a pan-Asian perspective. Usually works on Asian anarchisms are more focused on specific regions (south Asia, east Asia, etc.) rather than the Asian continent as a whole. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hellos AnarchistHistory :) Grnrchst raises a good point about pan-African anarchism vs pan-Asian activism, but I would still say it's better to make an overview Anarchism in Asia then spin-off individual countries, than to start with regions. There would seem to be enough to make an article sized contribution, since just off the top of my head I can think about movements in South Korea and Indonesia. I took a peek at your draft AnarchistHistory, since anyone can view it. I see parallels with some of my Squatting in X drafts such as Wikipedia:WikiProject_Squatting/Draft/Squatting_in_Asia, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to go live with a header for each country. Perhaps it's better to start like that then pull the countries together for which info exists into broader areas, which I have started to do topdown at Squatting, with the vague objective to then get to continental pages Squatting in North America feeding on to individual countries, of which quite a lot now exist (ever wondered about Squatting in Vanuatu? well, luckily wikipedia has an article on that). It's an interesting question how to expand articles, I don't think there's any one "right" way here. Certainly in terms of countering systemic bias any work on anarchisms in Asia is to be appreciated. Mujinga (talk) 10:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grnrchst then I can see the perspective against an "Anarchism in Asia" article, but what about reworking "List of anarchist movements by region" to include summaries of anarchist movements? AnarchistHistory (talk) 13:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it's including summaries, would it still be a list and not a prose article? --Grnrchst (talk) 14:05, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Housing and Tenant Rights is live!

[edit]

Hello! I've set up a new WikiProject, Housing and Tenant Rights :)

I'm adding a message here since it could be of interest to your group.

If you are please feel free to add your name to the page, we already have a couple who have joined. The main focus will be covering tenant strikes, tenants unions, tenants rights, and more. Documenting the history of land ownership and tenant advocacy. Thanks! - LoomCreek (talk) 02:36, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
