Anarchism

Hi AnarchistHistory,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

We also have a live cleanup drive, if you'd like to participate, and a mailing list if you'd like to be notified of upcoming edit drives.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 10:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Czar! Thank you for the introduction :) AnarchistHistory (talk) 05:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to cite!

Hey there! It's good to see you contributing! Just wanted to let you know to make sure you are always citing your sources for information you're adding to articles. For example, you recently copied text from the article on Eva X Moberg to the article on Anarchism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but you didn't cite any sources.[1] While it's always important to declare when you are porting information from one article to another for the purposes of attribution, it is not a substitute for an inline citation (Wikipedia is not a reliable source). It is vital when writing for Wikipedia that we always cite our sources, as it allows our readers to verify the information we're providing them. If we tell them something without citing a source, how will they know where we're getting that information from? This is why unsourced text often gets removed from articles, as we take verifiability very seriously.

I've gone ahead and added the main source for this paragraph into the article (see the change here). Please make sure you cite your sources in the future! It's for the benefit of our readers and for you too. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:54, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I apologise for my mistake and will try to be more vigilant in future edits. AnarchistHistory (talk) 16:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

August 2024

Hello, I'm PEPSI697. I noticed that you recently removed content from Anarchism in Argentina without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi PEPSI697, good username!

I added a number of the timelines to articles, and in this discussion it seemed to be concluded that it might be wise to not have the timelines. I am somewhat neutral on the matter, but this is the direction of the discourse. However, you are correct that I should have explained my reasoning and for that I apologise.

No worries! Thanks very much for the response! PEPSI697 (talk) 09:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:AWB

Hi there, I've noticed a lot of your edits are minor "gnoming" type ones, where you're adding an article to categories, or adding the same thing to a series of "See also" sections. You might want to have a look at WP:AWB, which is a program that makes this kind of repetitive edit much easier. I don't think you're likely to have a request approved if you apply for permission to use it at this time, since you're still quite new, but it's worth keeping in mind for the nearish future. There's also WP:HOTCAT, which makes messing with categories much easier. -- asilvering (talk) 18:59, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm still learning slowly so any feedback is good :) AnarchistHistory (talk) 19:52, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Pop culture trivia

Hey there, I notice you just added some pop culture trivia to articles on the CNT and EZLN. Unfortunately I had to revert these, as neither was citing reliable sources (the latter cited social media posts, while the former didn't cite any sources at all). "In popular culture" sections and cultural reference materials are generally discouraged by the manual of style, as a reference to something in popular culture isn't itself notable to an article about that subject; inclusion needs to be supported by references to reliable sources which discuss why that cultural reference is relevant to the subject. Just as an example: the anarcho-syndicalist commune in Monty Python and the Holy Grail justifies including a link to the article on anarcho-syndicalism in the synopsis of the film, but without a citation to a reliable source, it probably isn't important information to include in the article about anarcho-syndicalism itself. --Grnrchst (talk) 10:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Reading you loud and clear. I'm still learning the ropes :) AnarchistHistory (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

See also

Even better than a See also section is having the link directly incorporated into the text :) czar 21:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Czar

I apologise for errors in which I leave the same link in the text. I will try to avoid doing this in the future, I think using the visual edior can make it a bit harder lol AnarchistHistory (talk) 21:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

I think I'm a bit silly, it took me a moment to realise you were saying that it is better to link it in the next rather than have a see also section. I will begin to work to undo my edits now. AnarchistHistory (talk) 21:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

You might find User:Ucucha/duplinks helpful for this, by the way! -- asilvering (talk) 01:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

No need to undo, @AnarchistHistory, as there's nothing wrong with adding (non-repeated) See also links. Just a suggestion going forward, as you've been processing a large number of articles. czar 14:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Ana Sigüenza

On 8 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ana Sigüenza, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ana Sigüenza. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ana Sigüenza), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
