Untitled[edit]

I revamped this page as an organizational stub, with links to the two, very different organisations which have used the name at different times. The logo is from the Marxist History website and can be found here: http://www.marxisthistory.org/subject/usa/eam/communistparty.html DJ Silverfish 16:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I'm strongly opposed for the reason that the CPUSA article is already too long. This page offers the opportunity to break out the history of the party in the 1920's in more detail, specifically the underground/aboveground party controversy and its relationship to the Socialist Party of America and the various labor party efforts of the decade, the Conference for Progressive Political Action and the Farmer-Labor Party.

Fair use rationale for Image:Workers Party of America logo 1920s.gif[edit]

Image:Workers Party of America logo 1920s.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pamphlets[edit]

Ok, I've tried to bring some organization to the pamphlets section. I have attempted to maintain chronological order, which is sometimes difficult, because alot of these don't have dates. Its helpful to remember that the Daily Worker only began publishing as the DW in Feb 1924, so any pamphlets advertising it would have to be after that date any that just advertise "The Worker" would have to be from about Feb 1922-Feb 1924. Also, if the imprint says "Workers Party of America" it must have been published before Aug 1925, when the name was changed to Workers (Communist) Party. Worldcat was way off puting some of the early "little red library" pamphlet in 1927. The name was changed again to Communist Party, USA in March 1929.--Dudeman5685 (talk) 18:21, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
