Talk:Txoko

One Source tag
Good evening all. I know there are many sources listed, but the majority of the article relies on just one chapter in a reader: - Plaza, Joseba Txoko in Wandler, R. (ed) Euskadi Walter Frey 1999 ISBN 9783925867385. Unfortunately this is a non-English language source and not, as far as I can tell, available on line.

Please can any editor find (preferably English language) sources for this article. Also, can anyone find and provide transations of the relevant pats of the ref above, please?

Friendly regards to all, Springnuts (talk) 19:06, 25 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The cleanup of stuff like the Facebook "source" aside, I'm rather dismayed at your approach to this article. You clearly know nothing about the context of the txoko and what you call guff, is the wider cultural context of the txoko, on in which things such as the ban on discussing politics have had a significant role in, amongst other things, providing a safe space for the Basque language during the Francoist suppression. I'm not sure I want to spend any time contributing any more to this page if someone can just come, do a slash and burn and move on to the next topic they presumably know zilch about.

 * Hopefully you have seen the edits in which I had added sourced material to the article, and if you look at my other edits you will see that I am far from being a "slash and burn" editor. Let's WP:AGF and work together to improve the article.  Springnuts (talk) 19:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Sections on running and organising
There are real problems with including excessive detail and relying on one, hard to find, non-English source. Please can we have some translations of the relevant part of the source to help to determine its due weight and the correct level of detail.

 * Well newsflash, some topics aren't so well researched that they all meet the exacting standards of an online anyone-can-mess-around encyclopedia. Yes, if I had 3 clones of myself, I would have looked for more sources but hey, I don't and it's hardly a controversial topic that invites edit wars (at least until you showed up) so I figured padding out the original stub based on a source I happened to have to hand was a good thing to do. Apparently not.
 * As for excessive detail, who are you to judge what's extensive or not? You seem to know next to nothing about the topic or its wider context. There's a reason scientific journals do *peer* review, not "anyone whose read the editorial rules reviews". Akerbeltz (talk) 10:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
