The first photograph associated with anarchism has been promoted to Featured Image status: an image of 19th century anarchist dandy, Oscar Wilde. It can now be added to the Selected Photo section, but must first receive a caption. The current caption reads "Oscar Wilde, novelist, poet and playwright, was so enchanted by the work of Peter Kropotkin that he converted to anarchism and wrote the essay The Soul of Man under Socialism." It has been listed for several days without receiving comment. Finally Skomorokh has endorsed it, and as this isn't exactly a democracy, there's no reason to not move ahead with it. If any editor has a concern with it, and potential desire to change it, please consider discussing the matter here. In the meantime, and in the absence of any genuine discussion taking place, we can just move ahead and add it in. -- Cast ( talk) 04:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, I finally got around to setting up Oscar's photo; not that I was waiting for anything. We don't function on a voting, or probationary process, after all. Nominating selected items is a process of discussion on the basis that we avoid conflict. If there is no conflict, there need be no discussion and uploads can be automatic. Assuming an editor is careful with their caption, and their image is of high quality, an image can be selected without any process at all. -- Cast ( talk)
I got nothing. Can anyone suggest a well-referenced article of decent length and relevance to anarchism that has not been selected already? Skomorokh 21:22, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I would like to propose that the article on Denis Rancourt be featured as an article on the portal. He is on record as an anarchist, and his struggle to reform post-secondary education at the University of Ottawa is getting international attention with a (highly critical) editorial in the New York Times. His article is now also under continuous attack from rabid right-wingers who are trying to paint him as an anti-semite and a nutcase (ie/ the same tactic they use against Chomsky and every other high-profile anarchist academic). The extra attention from featuring him on the anarchism portal might help in shining a light at the cockroaches. -- SmashTheState ( talk) 18:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
File:Umultimopiccolo.jpg, which had been Portal:Anarchism/Selected image/13, has been deleted. I've replaced it with File:Ungdomshuset.jpg, but I don't think that is of the standard we are looking for. I'd like to promote File:Radicals awaiting deportation.jpg, File:Kropotkin2.jpg and File:Ross Winn restored.jpg from the selected image nominations. Thoughts? Skomorokh 13:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
My Name is Matías, and I work in wikipedia, but in spanish. I don't knok much english... Well, the point is that I worked about a life of Biófilo Panclasta, an unknow colombian anarchist. Biófilo was deleted of the colombian politic history, althoug He was an important and interesting person. I want to know if somebody can translate this articule to english (in spanish, is a good article), because I think than his life must be knew for other anarchists in other languages. Thanks for all. My count, in spanish, is fbuelvas. Is in the history of Biófilo Panclasta. This is the link

But I don't know how to make it into a template.Any help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alocaluser ( talk • contribs) 07:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Wotcher, I lodged an expand request at Libertarianism#Current_libertarian_movements. The articles coverage is much more balanced, and seems to represent the state of affairs. With the exception of the Current Libertarian Movements section being a selection of pro-property micro-parties and a few genuinely notable think tanks. It needs expansion with non-propertarian current libertarian movements. Fifelfoo ( talk) 01:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Given the scant availability of good unused articles, and the decent supply of used ones, is the time right to institute the same rotation system we have for images for articles as well? Skomorokh 08:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
After being away from Wikipedia for a few days, I find that no move was made to implement the article automator, and there is no October article. At what stage is progress on your end? I can help now that I'm back. -- Cast ( talk) 17:46, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I've filled in the last of the redlinked October anniversaries; this leaves 37 redlinked entries for November and December. It would be great if we did not have to disable the feature this year. Skomorokh, barbarian 18:31, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Portal:Anarchism/Selected image/6 is labeled as depicting "a monstrous "European Anarchist" seeking to blow up the Statue of Liberty" and this was used in mention of threats to the SoL in the Statue of Liberty article. (See material removal and Talk:Statue of Liberty#1919 threat.) Is there any indication that this is what the cartoon representing? It strikes me as more likely a comment on U.S. immigration policy (represented by the SoL) allowing anarchists into the U.S. The other 6 article uses of this image have similar captions that are neither referenced nor discussed in the articles, and the image's Commons page does not provide anything to support their interpretation. -- ToE T 05:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
