Who is a Palistinian?
Good job thinking to use A10 on the article. I guess I didn't think hard enough while I was searching for a speedy deletion tag.  Ryan Vesey  Review me!  23:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Exactly what aspect of the edit to Friedrich Engels article regarding the death of millions as a result of his works do you regard as genuinely consituting 'vandalism'? Are you completely igorant of 20th century history? 81.104.11.95 (talk) 23:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

I am familiar with that page. The posting of that link is lazy, cowardly and (given the direction of the warnings about 'vandalism' and 'POV' editing) irrelevant. The murderous impact of Marxism(which Engels co-created) is happily documented in several wikipedia articles. How do you justify deleting my last edit - which simply states widely (outwith the murderous far left/far right) - accepted fact? Your RV of my final edit is itself POV. The horrifying fact that the first RV of my edits was by an unashamedly self admitted (how disgusting that this carries no shame) Marxist in the form of User:RolandR was not itself reverted, or at least referred to some form of discussion form, demonstrates disturbing POV in itself. 81.104.11.95 (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have a POV on this as you're implying; neither is RolandR operating on his. We are simply doing our job in maintaining articles. And if you would realize that although Marxism may have resulted in deaths, it did not explicitly require the murders of these people, and is not to be listed as a direct cause of their deaths (as did, say, Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust, who directly called for these deaths in his ideology, and are therefore a direct cause of them and have the casualties listed on their pages).


 * In other words, Engels did not call for the killings of these people in his ideologies, with intent on it being a political worldview; it is not to be listed on the page. If you are interested in starting an article or new subsection of the page on Marxism, and wish to speak about the correlation of Marxism with these deaths, citing sources along the way, feel free. But this is not the place for it. ♠  23:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
