Anyone available and willing to help me put together an article on socialism in Poland? I think a better title, however, would be Polish Socialism. Better captures the idea of socialism with a Polish inflexion (if you know a few bits about Polish nationalism/socialism, I think you'll agree).

Why is the Hoover Institution a member of this project? It may make sense that the Hoover Institution Library and Archives is included, since it contains a lot of historical information about the Socialist and Communist movements, but I can't see any rationale for including the conservative Hoover Institution. Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 03:07, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

The Socialism (Marxism) article is entirely based upon an orthodox Marxist interpretation of socialism, it does not include revisionist Marxist perspective - specifically the revisionist interpretation of Marxism and Marxian socialism by Eduard Bernstein. I am concerned that the reason for this exclusive orthodox Marxist POV is either because of anti-revisionist Marxist and anti-Bernstein tendencies amongst those who developed that article; or because of ignorance of the revisionist Marxist perspective of Bernstein.--R-41 (talk) 00:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The quest for getting Wikipedia editors the sources they need for articles related to socialism and other subjects is gaining momentum. Here's what's happening and what you can sign up for right now:

• Credo Reference provides full-text online versions of nearly 1200 published reference works from more than 70 publishers in every major subject, including general and subject dictionaries and encyclopedias. There are 125 full Credo 350 accounts available, with access even to 100 more references works than in Credo's original donation. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• HighBeam Research has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications including newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias. Thousands of new articles are added daily, and archives date back over 25 years covering a wide range of subjects and industries. There are 250 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• Questia is an online research library for books and journal articles focusing on the humanities and social sciences. Questia has curated titles from over 300 trusted publishers including 77,000 full-text books and 4 million journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, as well as encyclopedia entries. There will soon be 1000 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.

In addition to these great partnerships, you might be interested in the next-generation idea to create a central Wikipedia Library where approved editors would have access to all participating resource donors. It's still in the preliminary stages, but if you like the idea, add your feedback to the Community Fellowship proposal to start developing the project. Drop by the talk page of User:Ocaasi, who is overseeing these projects, if you have any questions.--JayJasper (talk) 17:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I have recently revise the family economics article. As a subject it has connections to the theories and ideas to Marx and Engels, it is also connected to their views on the structure of family under socialism. I have tried to include those subjects as much as possible, but I must admit I was only partially successful in finding contemporary Marxist literature. So I propose to include the subject to the wikiproject socialism. I also welcome any further revisions of the article by adding additional information on Marxist perspective of Family economicsKeremcantekin (talk) 20:52, 4 December 2012 (UTC) Kerem Cantekin (talk)

Problems with the definition of socialism and the use of the term "socialism" by Third Way social democrats that essentially involves the complete acceptance of capitalism while viewing "socialism" as delivering social welfare and social justice, is causing difficulties at the article Socialism. This definition of socialism cannot be identified as completely autonomous from the conventional socialism, because the principal Third Way ideologist Anthony Giddens has claimed that the Third Way is an extension of the social democratic revisionism of Eduard Bernstein and Karl Kautsky who were both recognized socialists in the conventional use of the term.

I have opened up an RfC there, and I believe that this specific issue of the Third Way deserves the attention of WikiProject Socialism. But also efforts to create a balanced and NPOV description of socialism in the intro are desperately needed. This will be highly difficult given the various factions of people identifying as socialists who have often disagreed with each other. But something needs to be done.--R-41 (talk) 05:36, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

The fact is that there are simply no countries which call themselves socialist which adhere to the rejection of individual ownership of corporate equity, and there haven't been for decades. Trying to maintain a purist definition in the Socialism introduction is why that article has overwhelmingly negative feedback from people who can't understand it. My attempt at simplification to reflect actual reality was rejected but discussion is ongoing. Neo Poz (talk) 20:35, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello all! I'm working on a class project to integrate the topic of women's cooperatives in the developing world into the existing Cooperatives page on Wikipedia. I am interested in adding it to the existing cooperatives page, as this will allow it to get the most traffic. My focus will be on the development of women's cooperatives, how they differ from the status quo, and how this trend has shifted over time. I was hoping to also highlight certain cooperatives that are doing well in specific countries, but wanted to integrate this instead of listing it out as a country-by-country list (which will never be fully exhausted). Since the Wikipedia Cooperatives Project falls within the Socialism Project, I wanted to get further views on my proposed expansion. I will draw sources from the International Labour Organization, the United Nations year of the Cooperative (2012), journals such as Gender and Development, as well as several books I have found on the topic. Any and all suggestions are welcome as I attempt to bring some attention to the importance and development of women's only cooperatives. Emmyloumanwill (talk) 06:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Law of value needs some serious help. The article is composed mostly of original research, has trouble maintaining a neutral POV, and is way too long. We need some volunteers to help out with cleaning it up. I've gone through and tagged a lot of the original research, but the article is too overwhelming to work on alone. Also, we need some experts to come in, for help in highlighting trivial information that can be removed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

The article on the Socialist Party USA is fairly good article. It covers the basics of the history of the party, and it's presidential campaigns, but it explains very little of the party's platform and ideology. Obviously, this party is of very little importance due to it's size, and a hugely detailed description of its platform would be idiotic. However I am very concerned that to average American reader who is unfamiliar with socialism, the article doesn't much help. So I'm going to add some bare basics of the party's platform and where it stands on various issues.

Also, the "History" and "Founding" need to be fixed and merged together. The "History" section does not cover the party's history, rather it covers the development of the future party within the Socialist Party of America, so the title of the section is misleading. Furthermore, the section "Founding" covers all of the subsequent history of the party, not just on its creation. So I will merge the two into one section called "History" and divide it into subsections such as "Founding", and "1976-present" or something like that. Just basic improvements, cleaning up, and a slight amount of expansion. Also, I will likely create articles on their notable members, and attempt to expand the articles on members that already exist. If anyone would like to contribute to this project, help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all and have a great day!

Another user had brought this up in the Kerala state article talk page. I've found some good sources (like this, and this) saying that the country San Marino had the first elected communist government in 1945 but at the same time, some others (like this one) say that the state of Kerala had the first in 1957. I'm convinced that the user is right and San Marino, not Kerala, was the first. I was planning to add this to all related articles, but thought I'll first ask other editor's views on this. Hope this is right and any replies will be much appreciated, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 20:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, apart from discussion what constitutes a truely democratic election, the problem is that the difference is that Kerala is not a sovereign state, which San Marino is. Communists had won other local or regional elections before Kerala 1957 (for example some regions in Italy directly after the war). The other issue is that in both the Kerala 1957 and San Marino cases the communists formed governments in coalition with other forces. It could be said that it was a 'communist-led' government, though. --Soman (talk) 11:44, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi everybody. On behalf of the teams behind the Wikipedia Primary School research project, I would like to announce that the article Nelson Mandela (of interest to this wikiproject) was selected a while ago to be reviewed by an external expert. We'd now like to ask interested editors to join our efforts and improve the article before March 15, 2015 (any timezone) as they see fit; a revision will be then sent to the designated expert for review (please see the article's talk page for details). Any notes and remarks written by the external expert will be made available on the article's talk page under a CC-BY-SA license as soon as possible, so that you can read them, discuss them and then decide if and how to use them. Please sign up here to let us know you're collaborating. Thanks a lot for your support! Elitre (WPS) (talk) 17:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Mike Jones (artist) is about the creator of a wide variety of banners, murals, stained glass and other commemorative material for the Trades Unions movement in the UK, and other socialist organisations and museums. Son of the notable Jack Jones (trade unionist). The referencing is rather a mess, but I think there may be enough to establish notability, including an obituary on the website of The Guardian. Please take a look at the Draft and see if you can improve it. If unimproved, the Draft will be deleted in a few months. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:30, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.

If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess.

Greetings WikiProject Socialism/Archive 3 Members!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

• Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report

If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.

Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

When I try to add WikiProject Communism to talkpages, it says, WikiProject Socialism. They are not the same thing at all. Communism is a totalitarian ideology; socialism is a bourgeois political compromise. One might argue that any implementation of communism in the political realm leads to bourgeois socialism, but still--I feel the redirect is not helpful, especially because of the difference between politics and intellectualism. Is there a way to fix this--would anyone like to split the projects? Please ping me when you reply. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 05:54, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Socialism/Archive 3/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Socialism.

We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:

• The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
• The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
• The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).

We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Socialism, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.

Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give some feedback on the article User:Jasonwujiaxi /Maoist Theory of National Struggle, which is currently in a student's userspace. One of my main concerns is that it's written in too much of an essay style, however I do want to make sure that this is a topic that could stand on its own apart from other Maoism related articles. Is anyone willing to give the student some feedback on the article's talk page? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Socialism

Please take a few minutes to help make these more useful to our readers.— Rod ^talk 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

An editor is completely re-writing Socialist state... even the new first sentence changes the term's meaning. I want the guy to create a draft first so that others can make changes and comments before such a massive change, and I have stated as such on the talk page. He disagrees. I thought I'd bring this up here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:02, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Everyone, if you have any questions at all, please ask me or write a question on the article talk page. I promise you I'll heed you're advice..

• Related to the above, an editor has suggested that socialist state and communist state should be merged.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Hello! I'm working on an updated page for WikiProject Socialism. You can check it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Socialism/sandbox. It's still work in progress, but any feedback about both content and form would be great. Note the following:

• The design uses the new UI prototype for wikiprojects developed by WikiProject X. You can see some other examples here: WikiProject Medicine, WikiProject Molecular Biology, more.
• There is, at least, three missing sections: auto-generated task list (example), discussions summary (example) and a new-style members page (example).
• Wikiproject resources (templates, userbox) are still missing from the new design.
• Also changed the red flag image to the newer one, which was already used in Portal:Socialism. Unless there is any objection, this could be changed in the project template too.
• We now have a section for article alerts: Wikipedia:WikiProject Socialism/Article alerts. This means that alerts will be delivered by a bot there, and not to this talk page. So you should watch the article alerts page too.

Best, --MarioGom (talk) 19:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

The new page is now ready to go live. A summary of changes:

• The introduction is now much shorter. Copied from WikiProject Medicine.
• The Participants page is deprecated in favor of the Members. This page is autogenerated. Anyone can join the project clicking on the blue Join WikiProject button on the right side.
• The old Tasks section is now completely gone, there are full alerts and resources sections. Both contain specific issues and are up to date.
• The old Announcements is replaced by Article alerts.
• There is a new Discussions section with a summary of recent discussions in any article related to the project.
• Guidelines and Templates are both summarized in the resources section.
• The new Statistics section includes tentative goals for article quality. These are based on WikiProject Video games.
• Recent changes and Wikipedia:WikiProject Socialism/Showcase (Recognized content) sections are still present.
• Related Project includes links to sister projects in other languages, as well as an auto-generated list of overlapping projects.

Hello! I have been reviewing importance assessments on various topics and I noticed that consistency of importance assessment could be improved for ideologies and currents related to the project. I'd like to propose a refinement of the criteria and a reassessment according to it:

• Top: Socialism and wide currents of particular historic importance (e.g. Utopian socialism, Social democracy, Communism and Marxism, Libertarian socialism).
• High: Most notable variants, such as Left communism, Marxism–Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism, Liberal socialism, Third Way, Arab socialism and Ba'athism or Juche.
• Mid: Less notable variants (e.g. Council communism, Libertarian Marxism) and variants that either refer to the set of policies of a specific Government or relevant only in a specific country and period of time (e.g. Stalinism, Titoism, Blairism, Deng Xiaoping Theory).
• Low Everything else.

Here's an outline of how this could be applied (omitting the first level, Socialism). Those that would be changed are in bold, with current importance grade on the left side and the new grade on the right side:

For brevity, I just omitted lower importance articles such as Khrushchevism or Titoism. While Nikita Khrushchev or Josip Broz Tito articles are definitely high/top importance as biographies, the specific article on their political line probably isn't.

Any thoughts? Best, --MarioGom (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I've made a new Barnstar for this project. I didn't like the current one in use via The Workers' Barnstar since it's being shared with Communism, but I hope everyone likes the Socialist Barnstar. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 16:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you JudeccaXIII! I have added it to the resources section. I think it makes sense to have an alternative, non-communist, generic barnstar. Although I personally like the Workers' Barnstar ;-) --MarioGom (talk) 17:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

There honestly aren't many relevant sources to cite when it comes to that... 19 of 39 citations are from Tjen Folket or SOS Rasisme official pages, and of those some are duplicates, meaning that fewer than 50% of the citations are from sources closely associated with the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndersLeo (talk • contribs) 15:15, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Women in Red (WiR) is a wikiproject focused on reducing gender bias on Wikipedia by creating articles about notable women. During September will hold four month-long events: Law, Military history (World War II), writers and defunct countries. The Military history and defunct countries events might be of particular interest for members of WikiProject Socialism. The former includes socialist women who participated in World War II and resistance to Nazism, while the later includes special focus on the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, etc. I will be participating in all of them with an eye of the interest intersection between WiR and Socialism projects, and I invite other members to do the same.

Right now, the Chris Mullin page automatically leads to the basketball player - at the same time, there is a Chris Mullin (politician) - the one who led the fight to release the Birmingham Six and vote A Very British Coup (which was adapted to a TV series).

I've started a discussion on the talk page there, requesting to rename the basketball player page to Chris Mullin (basketball), and make the Chris Mullin page a disambiguation page with equal representation to both of them.

Arguments raised against my proposal:

• The basketball player has more views.

My main argument for the move:

• The basketball player gets most of his views from the US, while outside the US he's hardly known, and in Britain itself the politician-author Chris Mullin is much better known.

I invite you guys to take part in the discussion.

Religious fanatics are taking ownership at Kalaripayattu and not allowing any edits deviating from their agenda. The worst part is it is pending-changes protected and they all are confirmed accounts who can make changes without scrutiny. None of them give proper explanation for reverting, and sometimes blatantly reverts multiple edits (edited with proper edit summary) without explanation. Two of them have COI as evident from their usernames (Kalari). Their main business is promoting their POV and highlighting Hinduism part, though Kalaripayattu do have rituals based on Hinduism, the art itself is not a "Hindu art", it just happened to have originated when only Hindu "religion" was prevalent in Kerala. It is a martial art practised by all religious communities, many of the masters are Muslims, the Christians even have a folk dance derived from Kalaripayattu. Some Hindu extremists are "making statements" by projecting Hinduism on an otherwise communally harmonious martial art. BTW, I am also a Hindu, but this is too much.

The first time my edit got reverted (see history here onward), I never thought it was religious agenda, but now it's becoming clearer, as User:Kalariwarrior changed "Indian mythology" to "Hindu mythology" (source says former), and User:Kalari Poothara's recent Hinduism promotion in lead, and as Outlander07 is now trying to re-insert Hinduism claims (not in the source) in lead which I had removed; he had also removed a sourced mention about a Hindu lower-caste community – Thiyya. There are multiple legends on the creator - Parashurama, Shiva, Agasthya; they want Parashurama, not only that, they don't want to attribute it as "legend" (I agree with ). I suspect Outlander07 and Kalariwarrior to be the same person, all three are incompetent in editing. The article requires serious cleanup for sourcing and NPOV. Should I report this activity to WP:ANI, or somewhere else, or what? Please help. 2409:4073:103:B264:4177:62E9:8313:1743 (talk) 08:10, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I propose to make an amendment to the section of Left Communism to fix its' accuracy error in which it states that all currents of Left Communism criticize Leninism or are not Leninist in nature. The third paragraph discusses Bordiga and the ICP which was thoroughly Leninist which adds to the confusion of Left Communism being entirely anti-Leninism.

Would a member of this WP care to review Critique of political economy and decide whether the quality and importance ratings for this Wikioproject (as given at talk:Critique of political economy) merit changing? I have just now reverted it to 'Mid' after the major contributing editor (who is fairly new) uprated it to 'High' – they may well be right but that judgement needs independent assessment.

Also, I suspect that it can come off 'Start class' but it still has significant sourcing and NPOV phrasing issues so I suspect it is no more than 'C'. Of course that could be improved with the help of some more contributors... --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:22, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi all,

It would be great to have some community input into this template for socialism in the UK. I have used the socialism in the United States template as a guide for what parties should be included. Template:Socialism in the UK

The US one takes a broad church view of socialism, which I have taken as what the UK one should also present including more centre-left to far-left parties. Including socialist, communisti, green parties, etc. It would be great to have further discussion on the scope of the UK one as another user editing it seems headstrong on what should/ should not be included.

Could you help to fix links to Committee for a Workers' International (disambiguation) shown in Disambig fix list for Committee for a Workers' International (disambiguation)? There are about 30 of these disambiguation links, which are unhelpful to readers, and I do not have the knowledge to fix them.— Rod ^talk 15:17, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

@Rodw: I did not account for the number of disambiguations that would have to be remedied when I changed the redirect of Committee for a Workers' International from Committee for a Workers' International (1974) to Committee for a Workers' International (disambiguation). I reverted my change and that should get rid of the need to remedy most of these disambiguations. CentreLeftRight ✉ 19:31, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Has the concept of sanewashing sufficient coverage to be notable enough for an article? //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 15:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Probably not since a quick Google search only returns unreliable sources. You can establish notability yourself by creating the article and providing reliable sources. CentreLeftRight ✉ 20:23, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I want to be clear that this is not an attempt to canvass !voters for any particular outcome (actually, I expect members of this wikiproject are probably divided on whether any of these articles should exist or not). It's a plea to get some editors who are familiar with left-wing politics into the discussion, since so far it appears to be dominated by people who think (of course) no one thinks that their viewpoints are out on the wings, "Left-wing" exists more as a pejorative than as a viable description of political movements, people who think nationalist movements are right-wing by definition, etc. -- asilvering (talk) 21:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

I have made a proposal that Marxism-Leninism-Maoism be merged into Maoism.

Currently, I've only received feedback from three other people, one pro merge, two against. Only one of those against the merge has given significant feedback and currently I think the discussion is at an impasse. This is so as neither of us have budged from our original positions and the person has stated that they no longer wish to restate their arguments. So, in the interest of not tagging them when they feel that they have said all that they can say, I hope someone here can help tip the scales either way.

The discussion page is here: Talk:Maoism#Merge proposal

My argument could be summarised as the following:

• Modern groups and individuals who refer to themselves as 'Maoists' tend to use the terms 'Mao Zedong Thought', 'Maoism' and 'Marxism-Leninism-Maoism' interchangeably. This is not limited to the west.
• The only sources that have been provided that describe a difference between 'Maoism' and 'Marxism-Leninism-Maoism' are quite old.
• What differences there are with modern Maoism and 'the thought of Mao Zedong' are minimal at best (imo) and (imo) these differences are vague and often border on sophistry.
• Currently, nearly everything covered by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is covered in Maoism, and Maoism covers a greater range of content. I'd argue this is due to the two terms being largely interchangeable, not due to editors getting things wrong.

The argument against merging (obviously I'm biased here so please read the discussion yourself):

• Maoism and Marxism-Leninism-Maoism are different, the former meaning 'the thought of Mao Zedong' and the latter being an ideology developed after the death of Mao.
• Currently, the article on 'Maoism' is actually about 'Mao Zedong Thought' and the article on 'Marxism-Leninism-Maoism' is low quality but could be developed to include information which would differentiate it from 'Maoism'.

Bit of an odd one, but it's come up a couple of times in attempts to improve articles between myself and @Wellington Bay. Basically on a few articles on Internationals both current and historical we list a breakdown of supposed national sections based off of the group's own website (Revolutionary Communist International, International Socialist Alternative, Committee for a Workers' International as examples).

The issue is effectively differing views of where we fall when it comes to WP:OR, WP:ABOUTSELF, and WP:V. I myself believe that using the group's website as the sole source is a problem (because they have a interest in seeming as active as possible and therefore it is in their interest to stretch the truth as to whether sections still fundamentally exist) and had attempted to try and make it work by only listing sections whose own websites showed "recent" activity. @Wellington Bay is not happy with this, viewing it as breaching WP:OR, a view that I myself can see merit in even if I believe that it is preferable to not list sections that can't be shown to be active than list them when the only source claiming they're active is the international.

As an example of the issue while the International Socialist Alternative website currently lists an "ISA Australia" section, this group has in fact disaffiliated.

As a compromise it has been suggested by both myself and another user (@Golightlys) have put forward the concept of essentially only listing in full the sections that are notable (i.e. have their own articles) and just merely making mention that the group claims to have a number of national sections, but as per singular discussion with @Wellington Bay I am taking it here to get further views from others.

As an example, under the suggested compromise, the "sections" section on the article for International Socialist Alternative would look like this:

The ISA website maintains a list of claimed national sections, notable sections include:

Rambling Rambler (talk) 16:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Speaking from personal experience, far more socialist orgs exist on social media and self published websites than in real life.

Imo, if there are no secondary sources that support the existence of a national section, then I don't think it should be included. The primary source could be used to find a list of potential factions, but each faction should be shown to exist by a secondary source. WP:OR, WP:ABOUTSELF, and WP:V all give good arguments for not relying on sources like the one published by ISA.

That probably lines up with what you and Golightlys have put forward; only including sections with their own articles as a rule-of-thumb.

FropFrop (talk) 17:26, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

All I would add is where possible make the connection in prose (as well as the table), as has been done in e.g. the CWI history subsection, or the ISA Rosa subsection Golightlys (talk) 02:07, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

1) There should be a notice of this discussion on the talk pages of articles that may be affected. 2) A number of articles for sections of an international political group redirect to the page of the international in question. Accordingly there should be some mention of that group on the page in question. The simplest way to do that is with a list of member organizations of that international even if the member organization is not notable enough for an article of its own. Wellington Bay (talk) 21:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

On the issue of redirects, if it was a more abstract redirect I'd probably agree. However here, even if not explicitly mentioned, it's pretty obvious what the redirect is about if you're discussing the International proper. i.e. if someone searched Wikipedia for the national Trotskyist group "Socialist Alternative (England, Wales, & Scotland)" and it took you to "International Socialist Alternative" it's pretty easy to infer the connection. Rambling Rambler (talk) 22:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Also the redirects probably need cleansing too in any case given some of those sections don't appear present now already (because of disaffiliation post-redirect creation for example) so there's already no inherent link between redirects and coverage as it stands. Rambling Rambler (talk) 22:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I noticed that Socialist democracy is not in the Socialism sidebar, template, or Types of socialism article. Is this intentional?

Also, the disambiguation at the top mentions social democracy, but there is no disambiguation leading to this article on Social democracy. x RozuRozu • ^tea_cups 17:52, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

That page should be deleted, because The Transitional Program covers the topic and there is no significant coverage of the phrase. We also don't need Trotskyite propaganda on Wikipedia. That argument probably won't convince many, so let's go with lack of notability, lack of sources and lack of encyclopaedic value since an article about the work already exists on Wikipedia.

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

So while I was reading articles, I noticed that the infoboxes of many countries past and present were oversimplified to being described as communist states, rather than the specifics of each nation's political system. This included:

Cuba, Laos, East Germany, People's Socialist Republic of Albania, Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (all reduced to "communist state");

China, North Korea, Vietnam, Polish People's Republic, Socialist Republic of Romania, Hungarian People's Republic, People's Republic of Bulgaria (all reduced to "unitary communist state");

Soviet Union, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (all reduced to "federal communist state").

Given the specifics of each country's political system I am unsure if such a description can adequately summarise it. I would like to ask if there was any consensus done within this WikiProject that justified this change, and if some manner of content restoration should be done. As a matter of respect, I shall tag @TheUzbek to this topic. Frank_{(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion)} 05:17, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

But why is this a simplification? Communist state means a state in which a communist party monopolises state power through a supreme state organ of power that holds the unified powers of the state. Alas, all this has been discussed at the respective talk pages of the state in question. Better to move the discussion there. For example, the North Korean RFC took nearly a month. TheUzbek (talk) 05:22, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

By the very article you linked, the supreme state organ of power, even if heavily shaped by the party, is still formally "the embodiment of popular sovereignty", a concept that is inextricably republican (small r) in nature. I can concede replacing "Marxist-Leninist" with "communist", but it does not intuitively nor adequately convey the system of government involved.

Further, in some cases the system of government evolved over time, and reducing them to communist states, without further clarification, fails to show how this change happened over time. The Soviet Union for instance, while communist, did not follow the same system of government between Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Gorbachev, and a "federal communist state" is at best an oversimplified generalisation of its entire history. Frank_{(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion)} 12:53, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

1. The Soviet Union did have the same form of government from Lenin to Gorbachev: a supreme state organ of power as the holder of unified power under the guidance of the communist party. You are not referring to the form of government; you are referring to how that form of government enacted policies. Its like saying reducing the United States to a federal presidential republic is a simplification because a whole lot of changes have occurred in over two hundred years.
2. If you want it to be a communist republic, be my guest; I supported that change on the Cuba article, but someone else reverted it

TheUzbek (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

The form of government in the USSR changed significantly over time both in its actual structure and in its legal basis, but there is no easy way to characterize that in a simple phrase. A difference that might be relevant is that some of the states in question are formally multi-party systems (like most of the "People's Democracies", the PRC, and DPRK) while others are strictly one-party systems. While it is true that these "multiple parties" are de facto and often legally subordinate to the primary legal party there are cased where this has broken down and they have become real opposition parties. (like in Hungary, 1956) Chilltherevolutionist (talk) 08:00, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

"The form of government in the USSR changed significantly over time both in its actual structure and in its legal basis". Prove it. Last time I checked it was called the "Soviet Union", literally the lands of the Soviet (council). It established a system of soviets (system of state organs of power) that at the top was led by the All-Union Congress of Soviets/Supreme Soviet, that is, the supreme state organ of power. And the supreme state organ of power worked under the leadership of the communist party per the leading role of the party.

I advise people to actually read about the form of government instead of how different leaders chose to rule the Soviet Union. TheUzbek (talk) 08:26, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.
