  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Japan. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

Vandalism

edit

Hey. I am honestly sorry. I do not know how I deleted the entire section. I do not think that there is anything going on between me and you or the legitimately posed questions for me to remove something, let alone the entire section. I posted something below that section and probably did it accidentally. Next time I will try to use section edit buttons rather then edit at the top of the page as it seems to confuse me.--Satt 2 (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re:Rafsanjani

edit

Hi,

I am not going to delete your additions, as they are partly relevant. The problem is that Rafsanjani as the head of the government is only responsible for closing newspapers and so on and he can not be accused of execution or imprisonment as the Judiciary in Iran is independent from the government. Even his corruption is not approved ... even after a decade.

Every one knows that Rafsanjani is not a democratic person. I think his statement concerning 1999 riots is very important and we need a source for that. The current citation does not quote him directly and I am skeptical about its reliability. Any suggestion? Fooladin (talk) 22:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fooladin (talk) 22:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I do not have a serious problem with the paragraph except for the execution/imprisonment part. Head of judiciary system is responsible for that, not the president for obvious reasons. It is trivial. Fooladin (talk) 22:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please see the current version. I think it is more or less balanced. Fooladin (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I read this article before. Before answering your point, I'd like to let you know of my opinion on the credibility of such sources when it comes to Iranian issues. I have seen several obvious mistakes in the same source during last few days. In one article Rafsanjani was referred to as the head of Guardian Council for example. As an Iranian, I do not have a feeling that these writers are well informed about the political structure of Iran.

The president of Iran has no power what so ever on The Judiciary System. The head of the Judiciary system is appointed by the leader. The ministry of justice is only an executive body and is again appointed by the head of judiciary system not by the president. So the responsibility of the executions goes to the supreme leader and the head of judiciary and not to the president. Fooladin (talk) 00:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Secondary sources

edit

Thanks for your contributions. Can you find some independent secondary sources for this material?[2] There's no indication that these views have been reported outside of the movement.   Will Beback  talk  04:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

If there's no external sources, I'll delete the material. If we can find sources, then the material would belong in the Views of Lyndon LaRouche article, since these are all views. The bio article should be kept focused on events rather than statements by the subject.   Will Beback  talk  09:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your reply. If this is an "event" rather than just a view, then it's reasonable to expect that it would have been reported in a mainstream source. LaRouche does and says many things that are only reported by websites and publications run by that movement. Readers who want to learn about those relatively minor details can go to those sources, which we link to from this and other articles. Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on independent, secondary sources. There are plenty of such sources so we don't need to lower our standards. Let's give it a little longer to see if appropriate sources can be found.   Will Beback  talk  01:45, 8 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for finding these sources. Setting aside any questions about reliability, those two sources don't mention LaRouche's support for Clinton. Instead, they talk about what the followers are doing.
  • Lyndon LaRouche's (young!) acolytes were there singing something against the backdrop of an anti-Michael Bloomberg (??) banner. [3]
  • In 2008, the political activist and founder of the LaRouche Movement did not run for the Democratic Presidential nomination; however, his group supported then-Senator of New York and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.[4]
So this material would seem more appropriate in the LaRouche movement article. The Digital Journal piece is similar to many other news stories that have come out over the past year, mostly in local newspapers, that report on street activities of the LaRouche movement. That article also includes reporting on LaRouche's webcast so if the aim is to add something about his recent activities we could add that instead.   Will Beback  talk  20:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
May I suggest that we move this thread to talk:Lyndon LaRouche?   Will Beback  talk  22:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

LaRouche sources are appropriate

edit

I saw the note you left for WillBeback about why LaRouche sources are appropriate to show opinion on various matters. You're absolutely right. I've been fighting the *same* exact battle with Will (and other overzealous WP editors/admins) who don't seem to appreciate the distinction between using a source to support *facts* rather than to simply *show the existence of the source's opinion*. See for example this Aesthetic Realism draft page and the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. In the case of the latter, I'm the only one there championing our idea that otherwise unacceptable sources are indeed acceptable for demonstrating opinion. If you'd like to weigh in on this matter there, it might help show that there are others who support this idea. Thanks, MichaelBluejay (talk) 00:58, 20 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree, you're absolutely right. At WP:Verifiability it says "All self-published sources, whether experts or not, are considered reliable as sources on themselves, especially in articles about themselves, subject to certain criteria, though no article should be based primarily on such sources."
FYI, Will Beback banned me (my original account, that is. I don't expect this one to last either.) It happened soon after I made this edit.] Watch your back. The Marshal of MacMahon (talk) 01:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Russian Interference

edit

Re: this comment, there are broadly two groups in the United States most heavily promoting the "Russia" narrative: Clinton supporters yet to accept the election results and party operatives desperate to maintain focus on Russia.

To appreciate the latter recognize that the most significant element in the recent election was not the battle between parties but within parties: a voter rebellion against the establishment. The RNC in the form of Trump and the DNC in the form of Sanders. The RNC rebellion was successful, they are now the party of Trump. The DNC rebellion was suppressed in the primary but contributed to Clinton's loss in the general; it is ongoing.

Added pressure comes from years of election losses. The Democrats are now a minority party by almost every measure: Presidency, Senate, House, State Government. The typical response would be change in strategy but change threatens party establishment. Change is also complicated by their strategy of a coalition of targeted interest groups above a unifying message.

The Democrats hope is to minimize pressure for change by maintaining focus on "Russia" sufficient to deflect criticism and reclaim a majority, somewhere, in the 2018 midterm elections. Success will carry the party until 2020 where it's hoped a charismatic candidate (like Obama) and anti-Trump sentiment will reclaim the presidency, cementing establishment strategy and quelling the revolt.

It is my opinion this strategy will fail and a more populist focus is inevitable. Whether that happens before or after 2020 is to be seen. James J. Lambden 🇺🇸 (talk) 21:20, 10 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
