What we decided
We already decided that centralized discussion will take place on the talk page of Fascism in Europe, for all those articles. Removing mention of the National Union (Portugal) from various articles, then, on the basis that it is not linline with that article is not an acceptable reasoning. Once consensus is reached, it will apply to all articles, including but not limited to the main NU page. Please keep that in mind and resist the need to put the cart (mainspace edits) before the horse (talkpage discussion). El_C 20:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Dear, thanks for letting me know this. Can I suggest you to please make a similar heads up to other editors that are editing the article without consensus being reached? I also suggest that the main discussion should take place on National Union (Portugal) talk page. Fascism in Europe will never have more than a paragraph on Portugal.--J Pratas (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I think everyone already knows. And no, we are not going to change venues: the RfC's conclusion will apply to all articles. I would think that while consensus is still ongoing, that the last older version before your changes is the status quo ante version and it's the one that should be up in the interim. El_C 21:25, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * The problem is that some editors, for obvious lack of knowledge, are mixing up the Estado Novo with Salazar and with the National Union. While some Portuguese historians label the regime as fascist (which is not in line with what non-portugues historian say) you will not find any source saying that the National Union was a fascist party or movement, quite the contrary. --J Pratas (talk) 22:01, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * A distinction you're encouraged to make in the discussion — all part of resolving this dispute. El_C 22:22, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I have two asks for you The suspicious IPs are: ‎--J Pratas (talk) 14:47, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) On April 6 after a consensus hade been reached in the Salazar's article talk page I've delete a simple, unsourced, sentence from the article Fascism in Europe. This triggered an edit warring. I have now tried to reinstate that very same sentence, with which I do not agree, but accept as the sentence pre-edit warring. However the reinstatement is being reverted. If we are going to wait for consensus shouldn't the pre-edit-warring statement prevail?
 * 2) There is a disruptive group of IPs from city of Fortaleza in Brazil that have been maliciously removing sourced content from several articles and replacing it with unsourced content. Most articles are related with the Portuguese Estado Novo. The group of IPs has received several warnings and blocks in the talk page but the mutant IP keeps coming back. I think it would be good if you could please also please protect the following articles: List of fascist movements‎, Blue Division‎, Category:Fascist parties and List of fascist movements by country


 * As I already mentioned, all those items have been expanded, so putting back a bare-bone one does not seem to enjoy consensus. But I fully-protected the page for a second time and you may now expect me to be outright draconian when it comes to undiscussed edits pertaining to this dispute. The time for being bold is long passed. Regarding your semiprotection request, I have semi'd two of the three articles and rollback'd the IP. El_C 15:16, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello JPratas. Thanks for making the list at Talk:Fascism in Europe/Archive 1. I went ahead and put new semiprotection on Estado Novo (Portugal) and List of fascist movements. Let me know if you see any further problems. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:26, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Salazar page
Dear JPratas, care to explain why you undid my changes to the Salazar page? Have a nice weekend! 178.9.136.118 (talk) 09:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)


 * The Salazar`s page is heavily sourced and has been quite scrutinized and debated, if you want to delete content you should first use the article's talk page. If you think citations are needed, feel free to ask for them, but when doing so have in mind that according to Wikipedia's guidelines there is no need to verify statements that are patently obvious. For example, an editor should not demand a citation for the fact that most people have five digits on each hand. The same goes for the statement that in the 1970s several state-run universities were open across mainland Portugal (the Minho University, the New University of Lisbon, the University of Évora, and the University of Aveiro). Anyone can very easily check when were these universities founded. You can easily check either going to the article University of Aveiro and see for yourself or you can go to the University's website. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.--J Pratas (talk) 07:00, 27 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Oki, thanks! 178.9.56.196 (talk) 07:28, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Warning
Please follow WP:BRD. --Asqueladd (talk) 20:38, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--Asqueladd (talk) 20:40, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I understand that if bold edit gets reverted, one must seek a consensus for adding content, not to continue reverting. But in this case my bold editing was reverted without any explanation, and Wikipedia:Consensus policy also says that edit summaries are especially important when reverting another editor's good faith work. Repeated reversions are contrary to Wikipedia policy under Edit warring. Unexplained revers are not helpful. J Pratas (talk) 09:17, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

National Union
You have reverted my edits on the National Union article two times, I would like to avoid edit warring and all that pointless fighting, so I want to ask you what exactly are you objecting about my edits? I mostly just corrected spelling and removed some repeated content, so I'm really curious. -- 187.114.156.151 (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I have already explained that you have removed text such as the sentence "as fundamental differences between fascism and the Catholic corporatism of the Estado Novo". The sentence was in the lead section and in the article. The lead is supposed to be a summary, so there is no harm in a sentence being repeated in both the lead section and the article. But you removed the sentence from both palces. You have also removed the word "Portuguese" from the sentence "Portuguese scholars". If you want to make this kind of changes you need to use the talk page and achieve a consensus. J Pratas (talk) 10:37, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I removed the sentence but I replaced it with another one, as for the word "Portuguese", I removed it simply because it is biased to state that only Portuguese scholars consider the Estado Novo fascist, pretty sure we already taked about this back in the dispute we had regarding the Estado Novo, there's no need to start a dispute over something like this, anyway, are there any other sentences which I removed? -- 177.134.144.213 (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * There you go, you are providing the answer to your own question, you've removed a sentence (twice) and have inserted a new one that has nothing to do with what you've removed. If you want to remove sentences, ie. remove content, from an article that has been stable for months, and your editing is being reverted, you will have to take it to the talk page and first find consensus in the talk page. J Pratas (talk) 17:41, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Except that is not a relevant sentence at all, what is the point of starting a dispute over this? But since you're insisting, as a sort of compromise I'm thinking about maintaning the sentence in the lead, but also adding that he adopted many Fascist characteristics (which he did), while removing the second sentence, because of grammatical questions, what do you think about this? -- 177.134.144.213 (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * If you want to discuss content you should use the article' talk page, not my personal page.J Pratas (talk) 19:23, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * What do you think about it though? -- 177.134.144.213 (talk) 20:00, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * What I think is something for the article's talk page. Not here.J Pratas (talk) 20:28, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Would you mind if I made my proposed edits in order for you to check first? -- 177.134.144.213 (talk) 20:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I do not own wikipedia. Feel free to use the article talk page anytime you want.J Pratas (talk) 20:52, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * There is no reason to start a discussion in the talk page over something that is not relevant to the article, once again I didn't remove any information you added, as such this is a more appropriate place to discuss. -- 177.134.144.213 (talk) 00:15, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from António de Oliveira Salazar into Spanish Civil War. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 12:31, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the heads up. In this specific case the content in António de Oliveira Salazar was introduced by me. So I am not sure if it makes sense to recognize my own work--J Pratas (talk) 15:42, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not mandatory if the copied prose is your own, but it might have been edited by other people since you wrote it. So it's not a bad idea to include the source article in your edit summary.— Diannaa (talk) 15:45, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, in this case it is indeed my own writing. But thanks anyway, I did not know about that and will have it in mind for the future. --J Pratas (talk) 15:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

National Union (Portugal)
Hello, could you intervene on the Portuguese's corresponding article (and also here : pt:Lista de partidos políticos em Portugal and pt:Ação Nacional Popular) to revert the changes of Ribeiro2002Rafael and Upoorde in particular and to align the Portuguese version with the English version (in which you remove far-right label against other editors) ? Ribeiro2002Rafael describes this change as being operated by "fascists and Nazis" who would like to whitewash the party.

PS : If you have the time and the possibility, I would appreciate it if you could intervene on the Spanish and French Wiki to remove the far-right label as you did on the English's corresponding article. 193.51.163.253 (talk) 15:49, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

 * It did not "look like" edit warring, uit was edit warring, and now you're doing it again with another editor. Please  stop edit warring , or I'll have no choice but to report you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Your help in reaching a consensus would be much appreciated. A consensus had been reached the "another editor" is basically deleting sourced content on Francoist Spain, and formatting, but he is arguing about Portugal, without citing any source whatsoever.

Cite errors in Revolution of 1934
The article has some errors in the references. Can you please fix? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: User:Svick/HarvErrors.js to your common.js page.


 * 1) Article cites "Payne 1993, p. 219" but no such work is listed in the bibliography
 * 2) Article cites "Payne 1999, p. 228" but it is unclear which of the two 1999 books by Payne it is referring to -- Fascism in Spain, 1923–1977 or Spain's First Democracy?
 * 3) Article cites "Payne 2008, pp. 100–103" but no such work is listed in the bibliography
 * 4) Article cites"Preston 2012, p. 269" but no such work is listed in the bibliography -- or is it referring to ref #17 (which should be converted to a  format)?

Violations of WP:TALK guideline
I'm going to assume good faith and presume that you missed my edit summaries here and here. Per WP:TALK: A heading should indicate what the topic is, but not communicate a specific view about it. Using formatting to BLUDGEON the discussion is highly disruptive. Just state your argument in the same format as everyone else. Thanks, Generalrelative (talk) 18:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)


 * This is a guideline, not a policy. But I am happy to follow the guideline. Thanks for the heads up.--J Pratas (talk) 18:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

A clarification on what is and isn't a valid argument
In your recent edit which reinserted disputed content into the article Francisco Franco, your edit summary read See Talk page - argumentum ad hominem, attacking attributes of the author making the argument, ie attacking Hayes, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. What Hayes says is widely accepted in the academia. I want to make it clear that this is not a valid argument for ignoring WP:ONUS. Criticizing the biases of sources is something we do all the time when determining the reliability and due balance of sources. Discussing these matters is absolutely not an ad hominem attack. Further, it is clear that the majority of those who have weighed in disagree with you here. Three separate people have cut this content since it was highlighted on the article talk page (Aquillion, AugusteBlanqui, and myself). Continuing to reinsert this language therefore constitutes a clear case of edit warring. You will need to actually persuade others that this content is DUE if you think it belongs in the article.

 * this warning applies to yourself. You have been already reverted by me and . You are deleting text just because you think that Hayes is biased. That is not enough reason, Hayes is a RS and you have not presented a single argument about the substance of what Hayes said. With that argument we would delete Payne (often accused of being fond of Franco), we would delete Preston (often accused of hating Franco), etc.. In this particular case eliminating the text does not make much sense because what Hayes wrote is not even controversial, as you can see in the additional sources I've provided. You should try to be a bit more constructive instead of behaving like an eraser.J Pratas (talk) 16:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * For the record, this is false . I was at no point reverted by Rjensen. I believe you're confusing me with Aquillion, who, along with AugusteBlanqui, has also edited to remove this undue material from the article. At this point, counting those who have either edited to remove this content or expressed on talk that they agree with its removal, the two of you are clearly in the minority, and will need to actually persuade others if you believe this material belongs in the article.

Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''If another editor objects to your content, please go to talk and explain why your view is correct.

 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

 * what you are pointing is by no means a personal attack. What I said is that the discussion has been polluted. This not a personal attack. The fact is that there are editors in the talk page that instead of focusing the discussion on the sources and the merits of the sources have been providing their personal opinions, have been quoting sources that say the opposite of what they claim, etc... and this behavior has been polluting the discussion. The discussion is not a person. So not personal attack here. I get the impression that you feel uncomfortable when a solid source like Paul Preston says exactly the opposite of what you are claiming.J Pratas (talk) 01:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No, you said this discussion in this talk page has always been polluted by a bunch of editors that dont want to understand what Preston said, dont want Wikipedia to be sourced on good academic sources, but rather seek the easy insult. Not only did you use inflammatory language to describe those who disagree with you (if you know anything about the history of fascism, you know the rhetorical weight of terms like "pollution") but you explicitly accused us of acting in bad faith. I get all kinds of impressions about people like you, but per Wikipedia's policy of civility I keep them to myself. I suggest you do the same. Generalrelative (talk) 01:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * , you are trying to turn into personal something that is not personal. A discussion is not a person. And yes there are have been a bunch of editors misquoting sources and yes there have been editors arguing with their personal views instead of sources, and yes, that has been disrupting, it has been polluting and contaminating the discussion. And no saying that the discussion has been contaminated or polluted is not a personal attack or inflammatory language. J Pratas (talk) 02:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * See my comment below. If I say that Portugal has been polluted by JPratas, it is no defense for me to say that Portugal is not a person. The personal attack consists in claiming that a person exerts a polluting influence. I will not continue this discussion but advise you to drop the stick before this becomes a disciplinary matter for you (again). Generalrelative (talk) 02:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not name any editor, I said a bunch of editors, which is different, you are the one taking it personally. You came to my personal page and accused me personally of using inflammatory language. And for me "inflammatory" falls into the same category of "polluted". The difference here is that I did not accuse any specific editor and you are the one that made it personal. J Pratas (talk) 12:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

The "anti-fascist" fascists strike
Thank you for your contributions in the talk page for Franco.

It is quite interesting, don't you think, that the same people who pretend to oppose fascism and who label non-fascists fascists are the same people who use fascist tactics like censorship and threats.

Conservatism in Portugal
Hello. Given your expertise on Portuguese politics, I wonder if you'd be interested in writing a section on Portuguese conservatism in the main article on Conservatism under "National variants". It is one of few (major) European nations that are not represented in the article. Some information about the major parties, perhaps the results in the latests election, as well as some historical background, would be needed. Trakking (talk) 09:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
