International unions
You can start by just leaving a note on the talk page of the project. (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Organized Labour) Outline what you're thinking, and see what others think. Be prepared to wait a few days for responses though, people tend to be a bit slow to get involved in group conversations here. (unlike myself, who's more likely just to barge in and say something!). BTW, one small point - when you leave a note on a talk page (like you did on mine), sign your name by using four tildes ( ~ ). That way it automatically produces a link back to your page when you save the page. See Sign your posts on talk pages for more detail. Cheers. --Bookandcoffee 13:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

On Union Busting
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. LedRush (talk) 04:29, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The talk page guideline clearly states it is best treated with common sense and the occasional exception. Fixing your username is a reasonable exception; however next time just fix the spelling instead drawing attention to the change by striking through. Gerardw (talk) 15:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What are you talking about? I only edited your comments to replace your references to me as "Gold" with "Goldsztajn". I asked you to do this, waited 3 hours and noticed you continued to contribute to the talk page but did not make the requested change.  It is confusing and I indicated I did not wish to be referred to that way.--Goldsztajn (talk) 04:41, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't see where you requested this until recently. After I reverted your first edit of my edits, I mentioned that I would try and remember the full name.  You went on to change it, I assume, because you didn't see my response yet.  For that reason, I just gave you the lowest template possible so you would notice that editing other editors' comments can be seen as negative.  Anyway, delete the warning, if you want...as long as you don't alter my edits.  Thanks.LedRush (talk) 04:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please don't "try" to do it, just refer to me with my full username. I find it rude the way in which you referred to me. Please fix those references.--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I find your tone and response rude. I will not "fix" past comments.LedRush (talk) 06:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it's what happens when you make assumptions about other people, engage in unthinking behaviour and are rude in the first place.--Goldsztajn (talk) 07:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I employ a common and friendly way to address others. You assume bad faith and accuse me of being insulting to you.  I clarify my intentions and tell you I will try to remember your name. You further insult me.  Who is unthinking, rude, and making assumptions?LedRush (talk) 15:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As noted, you ignored a reasonable request and continued to edit the talk page ignoring that request. You chose a term for me I did not appreciate.   It was not considered a friendly way to address me.  Your assumptions were wrong.--Goldsztajn (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, so people can see the progression of Goldsztajn's temper on the talk page (and understand this conversation better):
 * You seem to have a compulsive need to broadcast to others. My tone towards you is perfectly in proportion to your actions.--Goldsztajn (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

(after Goldsztajn started tinkering with my edits and I asked him to stop but told him I would use his full name from then on (all in edit summaries):
 * I consider it rude how you referred to me. Please revert the edits I made or make the corrections yourself.--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I consider it rude how you change my edits and make demands of me. I have told you that I will try to use your full name in the future.  Also, for most people, using a shortened version of a name is endearing and shows familiarity.  You should have taken it in this manner (as almost anyone would), as a way to become friendlier.  But of course, it is your name, not mine, so in the future I will address you the way you want.LedRush (talk) 05:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Perhaps if you had thought about the origin of the name you would have understood why shortening it as you did caused offence.--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:57, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I still have no idea why you are offended by the shortening of the name.LedRush (talk) 15:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I can't fathom your obsession with this issue. But this is my talk page and I will always have right of reply. You failed to respond to a polite request in a reasonable time while continuing to edit the talk page and ignoring the request. The request did not not assume bad faith on your behalf (ie I did not assume you intended to offend me), I simply noted it could cause confusion as the username was not written properly. I did not tinker with your edits (which implies changing their meaning), stating as such is acting in bad faith. All I replaced were your references to my username with my correct username (no other changes were made). You replied in a passive aggressive tone, indicating you would try to get my name right in the future. Rather than stating you would do as requested, you qualified your response ("try and remember"). We are on computers, copy and paste are the simplest of functions, you hardly need to "remember" my name.--Goldsztajn (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

On personal attacks in union busting
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. LedRush (talk) 15:50, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There are no personal attacks, I have simply described your behaviour, which is amply evidenced at Talk:Union_busting.
 * "Comment on content, not on contributors."LedRush (talk) 16:07, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I have repeatedly commented on and responded to the content of your contributions, there is ample evidence at Talk:Union_busting. I have had to comment on the nature of the content because of its effect in derailing progress on the article.--Goldsztajn (talk) 16:29, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Eastern Block
Dear Goldsztajn, I am currently involved into the discussion about the map of the Eastern Block. Since you seem to be interested in the subject, it we would be great if you expressed your opinion on that account. In addition, we probably can elaborate a common point of view to create (or to choose) the map that, to our understanding, would be more correct from the point of view of historical truth. Regards, --Paul Siebert (talk) 02:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Cheers, --Paul Siebert (talk) 16:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I drafted up a new map for discussion on the talk page.--Goldsztajn (talk) 04:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Goldsztajn. The map is excellent. However, to avoid a prolonged dispute with Mosedschurte, I would accept his version, although I like your map more.
 * Thanks, but serious stylistic problems remain with the version currently being used. The map still needs further editing to conform with Wiki standards (which I've outlined on the talk page).--Goldsztajn (talk) 21:14, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Once again, I like your map more. The only problem is the Mosedschurte's position. According to my previous experience, it can be very hard to convince him. However, if you are ready for a long and hard discussion, we can try :) ...--Paul Siebert (talk) 23:53, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I appreciate the endorsement of the work. Sadly, it has taken a month to get what are completely commonsense issues somewhat resolved with the map, so I can see the problem you raise.  The map is of course reflective of the article's much larger WP:NPOV, WP:COAT, WP:SYNTH and WP:OR problems as a whole....oh and I should mention the elements of WP:PUSH and WP:WL on display on the talk page.--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * --Great talk over here. I'd like to point out that if you'd have just said "take a look at this aesthetically pleasing map format, and this helpful Wikipedia SVG map template showing use of Arial fonts for country labels, a suggested style for captions and suggested html color code for water", I'd have probably changed all of that 5 minutes later (well, more realistically, me fumbling through Photoshop, an hour later). Ditto for the inter-SSR border color. For most images I've made, if people point out some accurate way that it can be improved, I usually do so.
 * --As an aside, I like the map much better now after the changes (though I thought the old font was actually more clear), and I actually appreciate your suggestions. I'm not saying that to be snarky, and I thought some of them were genuinely helpful.Mosedschurte (talk) 05:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you are now making changes to the map, I hope we can continue to improve all aspects of the article and its POV etc problems. One piece of advice: Arial is a proprietary font and hence cannot be used in SVG images on Wikipaedia.--Goldsztajn (talk) 06:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that about Arial, and I'm glad I didn't save it as an SVG file. It's in the Wikipedia SVG Template for "Country" labels (or at least Illustrator saw it as Arial), so maybe someone should give them a heads up on that.  The article itself reflects summaries of the many sources therein and also comports with the other Wikipedia individual country history articles where there is overlap (and I do think some other Wikipedia articles go overboard a bit with the Soviet bashing).  If anything, for text I added, I usually tried to state things in a more neutral tone than that of most of the sources, which pretty much universally dwell on "brutal" mass murders, constant "draconian" police state measures, "genocidal" deportations and ethnic murders, and repeated anti-Semitic actions, etc.  Rare exceptions occur on things such as Rakosi's nickname ("The Bald Murderer"), but that was actually his de facto nickname.  I don't add text in a way to attempt to whitewash these things, bur rather, just think they should be quickly summarized (if discussed at all) in a neutral factual fashion.Mosedschurte (talk) 06:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Dear Goldsztajn, To my opinion, the map issue has been successfully resolved. However, other problems still exist. The article treats the Soviet republics as separate countries annexed by Russia and, therefore, it mix the history of formation and expansion of the USSR and the history of the Eastern Bloc per se. To my opinion, the section "Countries annexed as Soviet Socialist Republics" is irrelevant and should be removed. What do you think about that?--Paul Siebert (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Your inflammatory posts
You have accused me of getting into a "revert conflict". This is incorrect. I would appreciate it if you retract this statement. Thank you in advance.LedRush (talk) 16:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * My exact statement was:

Since returning you have already got into revert conflict with one editor here (given that you would be well aware there are active editors involved with this page, to come here and start deleting sections unannounced was not a good faith return).
 * Given this is about a set of issues related to edits I am replying at talk:union busting. Please do not edit my talk page again. Thanks.--Goldsztajn (talk) 21:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[from the union busting talk page] What happened was a the proper usage of Wikipedia. I made an edit. Rich reverted. I made a new edit which tried to address both his points and mine. Rich hasn't objected. This isn't a revert conflict. Gold's inflammatory posts and ad hominem attacks belie his apparent lack of good faith.

Furthermore, I do not believe that these discussions are best made in public, but in private. For that reason, I will not respect Gold's request not to post on his wall. Additionally, I will delete posts that are intended to be only used on his wall if they are repeated elsewhere.LedRush (talk) 21:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Cold war map
Dear Goldsztajn. I am looking for a map of European blocks during Cold war. The map you created for the Eastern bloc article is nice, but some modifications are needed to introduce it into the Cold War (1947–1953) article. Could you please modify the colour of Albania and change the legend accordingly? (The time interval the article covers is 1947-53). Thank you in advance. Best regards, --Paul Siebert (talk) 16:13, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Cheers, --Paul Siebert (talk) 03:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Paul, I'm happy to do it. Can I suggest you file a request at GL/I, where I spend a bit of time :), and give a little more detail of what you want for the legend etc. Regards... --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Goldsztajn for telling me about GL/I, I didn't know about that opportunity. That seems to be a very usefull staff. I've already sent a request.

Thank you Goldsztajn for making the draft. The draft is good, however, Mosedschurte has already created the map reflecting the course of the Cold war in a global scale. Therefore, it seems to me that we need a map that would show the process of division of Europe onto two opposing blocs. To my opinion, this map would replace the existing map of Eastern bloc. In connection to that, what do you think about going back to the original map (I mean, about restricting ourselves with Europe only)? With regards to colours, everything seems correct, but the colours are too bright, and the colour difference between the Brussels countries and other NATO founders is hardly visible. Cheers, --Paul Siebert (talk) 18:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Dear Goldsztajn. Unfortunately, I was right. Mosedschurte can be satisfied only when the map authored by him will be introduced into the article. Since he almost addressed all criticism, and, frankly, because the map produced by him is almost identical to the map made by you (larger font looks even better), I think we can support this change. I realise you spend enormous time to create an excellent map, I appreciate your work, however, since WP has no authorship and since yor efforts eventually lead to another good map (created by Mosedschurte), I believe you will not be offended if I support the Mosedschurte's map. Finally, the concept has won :) Cheers,--Paul Siebert (talk) 23:01, 30 May 2009 (UTC) --Paul Siebert (talk) 05:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's no surprise, but as you say, there is a concept, and that's much more important. The map still needs some minor improvements, but I think hope we can get them done easily.  Again, thanks for your efforts to keep things civil.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:32, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Glad to see that the dispute seems to be resolved. Thank you for your efforts and for your patience. Cheers,

Thank you
Dear Goldsztajn. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Cheers, --Paul Siebert (talk) 04:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Yugoslavia's color
Hi Goldsztajn, I can't help at wondering why you changed Yugoslavia's color on the map into pink? :) I have to say I found the green far more appealing as it recognized the non-association of the SFRY from the rest of the countries that are considered part of the Eastern Bloc. This way it looks like the country was a part of the Warsaw Pact (an observer or something), instead of a leading country in the Non-Aligned Movement. What are your thoughts on changing it back to green or lighter green, though perhaps a grey (darker than the rest) or white color would be more neutral-looking? It doesn't look like it'd make much difference to User:Mosedschurte, and it would be more descriptive of the country's status. -- DIREKTOR  ( TALK ) 14:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi DIREKTOR, actually, it was meant to be purple! But I see your point and and will revert to green. Thanks for your inputs in the discussion. --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Animated GIF
Dear Goldsztajn, You seem to be an expert in computer graphics, therefore I would like to know your opinion about possibility to create maps that would reflect numerous border changes in Central and Eastern Europe during XX century. How easy it is and is it needed to your opinion? Regards, --Paul Siebert (talk) 16:23, 28 May 2009 (UTC) --Paul Siebert (talk) 03:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Paul, yes, it's possible, although it is time consuming and I don't have a lot of time to do something like that at this stage (next month or so). As for how much is it needed? Not sure...what are you thinking in terms of maps: 1938 (pre-WW2), 1948 (post-WW2), 1955 (Warsaw Pact), 1960 (Albania realignment), 1990/91 (fall of Eastern Bloc, German unification) 1992 (dissolution of USSR) 1993 (Dissolution of Czechoslovakia)....dates for Yugoslavia could be contentious and very complicated (but something after 2000 would probably be easiest)....although maybe just best to stop at 1990/1. --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Goldsztajn. My question was about a possibility to do that and about your opinion on the relevance of such a map. With regards to details, let's see for the beginning how the discussion on the EB talk page will develop. At present moment, it seems to me that the most difficult task is not a creation of animated GIFs but dealing with Mosedschurte...

1912 Brisbane Strike
Hi,

My name is Martin Davies-Roundhill, Assistant Delegate Towong Bus Depot RTBU.

I am on committee organising events to commemorate this event.

There is a facebook page for this strike and I am wondering if you set it up?

I have ben charged to set up a page myself so just want to co-ordinate that.

I see you also work for a Union, is that here in Brisbane and are yo organising anything for the date?

Cheers Martin

PS I am a newbie on Wikipedia so I trust I am doing this coerrectly!!

Speedy deletion nomination of Marian Wróbel


A tag has been placed on Marian Wróbel 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 or group of people, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.  Waterfox ~talk~ 14:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * OK, that made me smile. Kudos. Let's try and reach a consensus on the KCTU redirect. --Goldsztajn (talk) 06:19, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Roger Wilco on that. Oh and you don't have to post a talkback notice each time, I have you on my watchlist.  Plus, when you post to my talkpage, I get an email (something new from Wikipedia, check your perferences page to set it up for yourself). -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 07:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Adolf Sturmthal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Avon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I hope you intend to add more material. With just what is there, it would be very difficult to defend his notability.  DGG ( talk ) 23:35, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Maldives Third Way Democrats
Hi Should we create an article about this party? --Panam2014 (talk) 17:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * no reason to wait for me... :) --Goldsztajn (talk) 22:50, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Now ,they have one MP. Should we also create articles about all parties registrated in 2018? --Panam2014 (talk) 17:21, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

PNC
Hi

Should we create an article about PNC? Also, did you know how many MP have joined the party? --Panam2014 (talk) 01:51, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * greetings... I have created a page for the PNC ... majlis members by party as of 5 December 2018 is here:, I guess the PNC members at that time came under independents (so 2 or 3) ... the PNC Twitter account has published the PNC list for the April election, it seems to indicate 10 sitting MPs recontesting as PNC candidates, but my dhivehi is not good enough to be sure that my reading of the list is correct. --Goldsztajn (talk) 11:49, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. So two PPM members have joined PNC. And 3 MP are nopartisan. But what is the number of deputies from MRM? --Panam2014 (talk) 12:06, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * according to the link above (from the Majlis website), party affiliation is as follows: PPM 30, JP 22, MDP 19, MDA 4, AP 1 and independents 3. There are six vacant seats. The MRM is not a registered party and until very recently neither was PNC, so I would guess that those aligned to the former President half-brothers Gayoom 1 & 2 would be part of the three independents...so probably 2 are PNC/Gayoom2 and 1 aligned with MRM/Gayoom1...but i can't say for certain.  --Goldsztajn (talk) 13:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * On 5 December, PPM had 30 deputies, but 1 have joined MTD and two have joined PNC. And we have some independents with MRM. --Panam2014 (talk) 16:35, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Now, I think we should create article about Progressive Congress (PPM+PNC), like to People's Alliance (Turkey). --Panam2014 (talk) 17:24, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What do you think ? Also, I think MRM have 2 MP : Saud and Faris Maumoon. --Panam2014 (talk) 20:03, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Herman Klare moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Herman Klare, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
