Speedy deletion nomination of Popular Socialists (Russia)


A tag has been placed on Popular Socialists (Russia) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. EBE123(talk) 21:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I think it clearly indicates importance, but  it needs refs, & a check we arent covering it already. I can't imagine the information isn't here under another name.  DGG ( talk ) 01:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, DGG
I have added some references to the Popular Socialists (Russia) article. I've checked, but haven't found another article on English WP that really covers them. The 'Socialist-Revolutionary Party' article does not mention them at all, nor does the 'Trudovik' article -- the two that most likely candidates. In any case the Popular Socialists (NSP) should get a separate entry from those two, since they were ideologically and tactically distinct: PSR vs. NSP (1) The PSR wanted land socialisaion without compensation for landowners, the NSP wanted nationalisation (state ownership) of land with compensation.

(2) The NSP preferred legal to illegal action, reform from above to revolution from below, contrary to the PSR.

(3) The NSP relied primarily on the intelligentsia, the PSR on the holy trinity of 'workers, peasants and intellectuals'.

(4) The NSP deplored Western-style industrial capitalism as an avoidable calamity; the PSR accepted it as a fact but (contrary to the early SD position) insisted that capitalism was already ripe for destruction.

(5) The NSP rejected Marxism in toto; the PSR, while not "orthodox", was heavily influenced by Marxism. (Peshekhonov complained in 1906 of the SRs "dancing around the Marxist stove", while Chernov called Marx "our great common teacher", and the SRs prided themselves on the fact that August Bebel, doyen of the German SPD (then "orthodox" Marxist), had said of the SRs: "When one hears these people talk, one could really think they are good Marxists. There woul certainly be room for them in the SPD." The PSR wanted eventual unificationn with the RSDRP (an unrequited sentiment); the NSP was closer to the liberals. Many NSs had in fact been instrumental in foundng the liberal party (KDP). One could say that the PSR's ideology was close to N.F. Danielson's narodnik Marxism, while the NSP was based on N.K. Mikhailovsky's narodnik anti-Marxism (simplifying somewhat).

(6) The PSR (until the Azev affair) endorsed political terror as a tactic; the NSP completely rejected it.

(7) The PSR was instrumental in creating the soviets in 1905 and also dominated them in 1917; the NSP played no role in the soviets in the first Russian revolution (though Peshekhonov played a prominent role in the soviets in 1917). They were more strongly represented in the zemstvos and in various upper class soyuzi.

(8) The PSR boycotted elections to the tsarist Duma (except in 1907); the NSP did not.

NSP vs. Trudoviki (1) The NSP had a distinctive ideology, derived largely from Mikhailovsky. The Trudoviki were ideologically raher loose. They comprised dissident SRs who defied the PSR's boycott of the Duma, worker and peasant deputies of no firm ideology and assorted non-Marxist leftists. Those Trudoviki who did have a more coherent ideology were usually SRs, and we've seen that the PSR's ideology differed substantially from that of the NSP.

(2) The Trudovik party had virtually no existence outside the Duma; they had emerged as a group of leftist non-Marxist deputies; all of its significant personalities were members of the Duma. Most of the leaders of the NSP were not, though those who were collaborated with the Trudoviki.

(3) The Trudoviki entertained a variety of proposals on land reform, including the SRs' position of socialisation without compensation; as we've seen, the NSP had a firm position on land reform which rejected that idea.

(4) The overarching personality of the Trudoviki came to be A.F. Kerensky, a former SR who played no role at all in the NSP; of the leading NS personalities, only Miakotin seems to have been a Duma deputy (although Peshekhonov played a leading role in the soviets in 1917).

(5) Although the NSP and the Trudoviki merged in 1917, forming the 'Popular Socialist Labour Party', they were distinct groups for most of their existence (c. 1906-1918).

So, in short, even if the NSP had been included in either the PSR or the Trudovik article, it is not clear that they should have been. But in fact they were not. Hence my entry. Sorry for the long-winded justification!

Thanks again for your help. I will get the hang of WP some day. Chastra (talk) 11:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sergei Prokopovich


A tag has been placed on Sergei Prokopovich requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Japanese knotweed (talk) 13:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a hangon template to an article, Sergei Prokopovich. In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide reasoning, on the article's talk page, for why it should remain. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:37, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Allemane-1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Allemane-1.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — G FOLEY   F OUR  — 16:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Mark Rein (software executive)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Mark Rein (software executive), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Mark Rein. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Empirical psychology
You really need to add some more content. Bare definitions like this are often considered suitable only for Wiktionary, our companion project. In my personal opinion such articles should be allowed to grow naturally, but there are many people here who think otherwise. It shouldn't be difficult to at least add some sort of bibliography. I advise you to fix the problem, and do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process. DGG ( talk ) 21:25, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, friend
Welcome to Wikipedia! I just found your piece on Valentinov-Volskii in the New Articles queue and made a few tweaks to it for style. Very nice work, although it was short some inline footnotes backing up various facts. One thing you'll learn as you spend time here and adjust to Wikipedia style is that the more footnotes that one puts in, the less that people will mess with your work in a bad way.

Another suggestion, if I may be so bold, is that you might consider keeping paragraph length short. It's pretty hard to read long paragraphs on screens (as opposed to reading them on the printed page), so paragraph style at WP tends to be very short, as in journalism.

If you have any questions about the ins and outs of Wikipedia or if I can be of assistance to you in any way, do not hesitate to drop me a line on my Wikipedia talk page, or you may write me directly off-list at MutantPop@aol.com. Best regards and, again, it's nice to have a good new content-creator at WP! —Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR Carrite (talk) 05:52, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * One more thing: when you do an edit on an article in the regular encyclopedia space (as opposed to a note on a talk page or something like that) be SURE to write a brief description of the changes that you are making in the Edit Summary. Not doing this is regarded as a party foul by many of the more persnickety sorts that you will bump into from time to time. It just takes a few seconds and helps future editors who are going back trying to improve work or to weed out vandalism or bad edits... I use a generic phrase like "Adds content" or "Shuffles paragraphs" or "Tweaks typography." Even something that brief and general is helpful and it's a really good habit to get into. I'll try to spin through a couple of your earlier creations editing for style a little bit — that's helpful in chasing away the deletion monsters! best, Carrite (talk) 06:10, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
