Biographies of living persons

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 09:17, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

July 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. -- Grnrchst (talk) 08:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

The citations you didn't like do talk about libertarianism, referring to it in the socialist manner, libertarian municipalism which is a clear form of libertarian socialism, and the broader concept of anarchism in the socialist context. Won't argue with it but it's content relevant to libertarian socialism so will gather clearer sources. 4kbw9Df3Tw (talk) 15:44, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

If we allowed any source that mentioned "anarchism" but not "libertarian socialism" to be added, the article would rapidly spiral out of scope (as it already has in the past). "Implied" just doesn't cut it when it comes to synthesis. If a source doesn't explicitly and specifically reference "libertarian socialism", it's best not to add information from it. This is all for the sake of maintaining coherent and focused articles, rather than grab-bags of tangentially-related information. -- Grnrchst (talk) 16:03, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

We are talking about libertarian socialism, which has a broad scope in itself. You didn't even like the ones that talk specifically about libertarianism (in the socialist sense) and talk about socialism in a different line. 4kbw9Df3Tw (talk) 16:09, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

That it has a broad scope is precisely why we need to be careful by using sources that use the term explicitly and specifically. Libertarianism has its own article, as does socialism. If a source references "libertarianism" or "socialism" but not "libertarian socialism", that source is probably better utilised in those articles. Please understand that I'm just trying to maintain the article's specificity. In a previous version, 80% of the content consisted of information cited to sources that either (a) never referenced any of the information it was cited to; (b) never referenced the term "libertarian socialism"; (c) never even referenced the individual words "libertarianism" or "socialism". The remaining 20% was pretty badly sourced too. This is where my concerns with synthesis are coming from. -- Grnrchst (talk) 16:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

The problem is that you are narrowing the content so much that it is no longer useful for understanding libertarian socialism broadly. This extent of specificity of only working with sources that explicitly say "libertarian socialism" in that sequence is absurd when there are phrases that exist under libertarian socialism that are also libertarian socialist but use those specific titles. There is a reason the places and events you refuse to include under libertarian socialism are so often celebrated and supported by actual libertarian socialist groups. 4kbw9Df3Tw (talk) 02:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't think sticking to Wikipedia's policices on verifiability and no original research are at all "absurd". I'm not "refusing" to including stuff under libertarian socialism, I'm just not interpreting sources to mean something they never actually say. If a source says "X is Y", then I can write "X is Y". But if a source just says "X", then I'm not going to write "X is Y" because that would just be my original interpretation.

But I digress, given this conversation is entirely about one article in particular, it should probably be in the talk page over there rather than in your user talk page. If you want to continue discussion there, feel free. -- Grnrchst (talk) 08:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Anarchism

Hi 4kbw9Df3Tw,

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!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

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 01:50, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this! I hope to support anarchist and anarchist-adjacent articles more in the future. 4kbw9Df3Tw (talk) 16:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Left-libertarianism into Libertarianism. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

WikiProject Anarchism checking in

Hey there! Thanks for helping to improve articles related to socialism and anarchism. You've been contributing a lot recently and I hope to see more good work in the future! I noticed you have identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Anarchism in your user page, but you don't appear to have participated much in discussions on our noticeboard, which has recently seen an upsurge in activity. In case you haven't seen what we've been up to, here's a little update:

• In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
• A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
• We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
• We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you want to get more closely involved in our collaborative efforts, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. We would be very happy to see you around more.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, -- Grnrchst (talk) 12:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
