In response, I made changes to the Marxism-Leninism article in response to your earlier criticisms and removed much of the individual examples of Marxist-Leninist governments and it is now largely focused on ideology. I like the layout in the Marxism-Leninism article because it is rational, organized, easy to read, and can be applied to any ideology. I don't like the way that all the ideology articles are at present - they are very idiosyncratic, long-winded on certain issues, short on others, and difficult for readers to find a general overview of the ideology. As for your issue on Marxism-Leninism, Joseph Stalin's government created the term "Marxism-Leninism" and it was originally strongly connected to Stalinism, it was Khruschev who dissassociated Marxism-Leninism from Stalinism. Kim Il-Sung was a Stalinist and Stalinism is a major form of Marxism-Leninism. Stalinism in my view is a sociopathic version of communism - based on the Machiavellian idea that the ends justify the means - it creates a socialist society where the economy is "publicly controlled" by a totalitarian state, it develops the economy on Marxist historical-determinist lines - focusing on developing a socialist society through rapid industrialization, but ultimately Stalinism has no moral conscience because it was developed by a sociopathic man.-- R-41 ( talk) 01:46, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

The article Constantin Stanislavski has been edited by Illyukhina who changed name Maria Lilina on line 41 to incorrect name Maria Liliana. There was no valid reference to this change. Google search shows that the name Maria Lilina is correct, also there is a Russian article in Wikipedia with the proper name: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Лилина,_Мария_Петровна I undid Illyukhina's edit but my change was reverted again leaving the article with incorrect name.

I specifically added in the talk page of that article that the name "Ba'athist Iraq" is far more commonly used than the present title. Wikipedia policy is to use the most common name. The only instances were a common name should not be used is if the common name is a common pejorative or vulgar name used over a less commonly used official name - "Ba'athist Iraq" doesn't sound vulgar to me, it simply acknowledges that the period was defined by rule by the Ba'ath Party. Note that I explicitly excluded Wikipedia by "-wikipedia" so that only non-Wikipedia uses would come up.-- R-41 ( talk) 13:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You should be aware that the government prior to the Ba'ath for the most part sought to ease Arab-Kurdish strife, it may have acted militarily against Kurdish separatists - but the state adopted state symbolism that explicitly included Kurdish symbolism and allowed use of the Kurdish language. Kurds today who remain willing to remain in Iraq - provided that it makes amends to them - see this regime as the last legitimate Iraqi state for the Kurds - these Kurds fly the flag from this era while refusing to fly the Ba'ath era and post-Ba'ath era flags. Again, heed my warning, do not post another rude response, or I will report you for violating WP:CIVIL.-- R-41 ( talk) 14:11, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
We are in deadlock with neither of us seeming to be able to come to an agreement with each other. I am going to put this issue up as an RfC, asking users the following: "Do you support this article being renamed "Ba'athist Iraq"?" I will put my position of WP:COMMON NAME for the Support side, and you can put your position for the Oppose side.-- R-41 ( talk) 01:47, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
You are free and welcome to disagree with me about the name and discuss the issue, however you have repeatedly violated WP:CIVIL towards me, after I specifically told you to cease doing so and warned you that I would not tolerate further incivil behaviour towards me. You did not respect by warning, so I have reported you to Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance for violation of WP:CIVIL.-- R-41 ( talk) 17:29, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I brought up RfC so that many Wikipedia users could be brought in to discuss the name and determine whether based on WP:COMMON NAME as claimed by be it should be changed to "Ba'athist Iraq" as I support or whether by other policies it should remain "History of Iraq (1968-2003)" as supported by you. That is fair - it is not overruning anyone, it makes it no longer an stalemate argument between two users, and allows many people to add their views to allow a greater perspective on the issue.-- R-41 ( talk) 17:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Now aside from the dispute that has been brought up at the Wikquette page where you can address it there, I just have found sources that state that Qassim was Arabo-Kurdish born of a Sunni Muslim Arab father and a Shia Muslim Kurdish mother [3], plus Qassim and his supporters stressed "Iraqiness" and stated that "Iraq is not only an Arab state, but an Arabo-Kurdish state...[T]he recognition of Kurdish nationalism by Arabs proves clearly that we are associated in the country, that we are Irakians first, Arabs and Kurds later". The Qassim government sought to make Iraq bilingual, learning the Kurdish language was mandatory in Iraq's teachers colleges under Qassim in 1961 - in the midst of Kurdish revolts as noted in this article - for him to pass such a law under these circumstances reveals he was not as hardline against the Kurds as you suggest he was. [4] So claims that Qassim and his supporters were "anti-Kurdish" or deliberately sought to persecute the Kurds, other than suppression of separatism that threatened to break up Iraq, are false. Not all of the rebels in the Free Officer Movement agreed with Qassim's approach - a number were Arab officers who didn't care about Kurdish demands, but Qassim and his supporters on this issue pressed for ameliorating Kurdish concerns in Iraq.-- R-41 ( talk) 18:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I have found very strong evidence that the article History of Iraq (1958–1968) should be split into articles on 1958-1963 under Qassim's Iraqi civic nationalist regime and one on 1963-1968 under Arif's Nasserist pan-Arabist regime. The following is from the article on Qassim:
And then after Qassim was overthrown by the Ba'ath in 1963 and then the Ba'ath was overthrown later in 1963 and Arif rose to power. As you can see from the text above, Arif's government was not a restoration of Qassim's government, as Qassim's government had sentenced Arif to life in prison, but a new regime altogether. Thus with this, I support the splitting of the article.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:31, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I just did some heavy editing to it due to the fact that post 1982 events and people were in the template. The template you created is the Breznev era, 1964-1982. Korean Air 007, the 1984 Summer Olympics boycott, and even listing Chernenko as a Soviet premier don't fit the parameters of what the template is supposed to be covering. They being put in a template covering 1983 to the fall of the USSR would be appropriate.

You may well be correct about those articles on the General Secretary elections, but this cannot be decided via speedy deletion. I marked the articles with the "disputed" tag; I suggest you discuss on the talk p. of the main article.

Those articles might well be a load of bollocks, but you aren't giving a reason that's valid under the CSD rules. CSD doesn't cover everything - it's very limited. The best way is to take the lot to an AfD for a consensus to be reached. Please do not blank the pages in the meantime - that could be regarded as vandalism no matter how well intentioned. Blanking is only for copyvio, attack and requesting deletion of a page that you have created. (Sometimes used on userpages for bad spam, but I doubt that's strictly within the guidelines.) These articles are not in those areas. You could try 'hoax', but I doubt they would be regarded as blatant hoaxes - the CSD hoax is supposed to be a stand-up-and-hit-you thing, like a 10 year old winning the Nobel Prize for Physics.

Hello:
While reading the article on the LIberal party of Canada I noticed some inconsistencies that put into doubt the credibility of the article as well as a number of grammar mistakes.
The first paragraph second sentence reads: "In the conventional political spectrum, the party sits between the centre and the centre-left".[2] This is simply incorrect. The Liberal party policy fluctuates between centre-right and centre-left: support for the monarchy, Senate downloading costs onto provinces during the 1990's; centre-right. Support for Kyoto and medicare; centre-left.
What troubles me is the citation used to justify the centre-centre-left argument. The article by Susan Delacourt of the Toronto Star (a traditional Liberal newspaper), quotes then Liberal leader Ignatieff, who called the party: "the coalition at the centre of Canadian life" and goes on to say “We have to stand in the centre, drawing people from both sides of the political spectrum.”
The interpretation used in the wikipedia article clearly is a misreading of the article by Ms. Delacourt. Either the citation should be removed or a broader definition of where the Liberals rest on the traditional politcal spectrum (that has limited application in Canada where division traiditionally cleave along constitutional lines) should be used.
Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.191.89.72 ( talk) 19:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Trust All You Need:
I found some inconsistencies with the Liberal Party of Canada article. In the first paragraph second sentence; "In the conventional political spectrum, the party sits between the centre and the centre-left".[2]However, the cited article by Susan Delacourt contradicts this interpretation of Liberal policy positioning. In the article then Liberal leader Ignatieff states: "We’re the coalition at the centre of Canadian life" then, "We have to stand in the centre, drawing people from both sides of the political spectrum". Clearly indicating the Liberal party is on the centre-right to centre-left of Canadian politics or more generally in the centre.
The Liberal party's ideology fluctuates between centre-right and centre-left. The Liberal party supports the monarchy, Senate, unloading services onto provinces during the 1990's through the cutting of monies to social transfers and services, "regressive" consumption taxes such as the HST/GST while dropping "progressive" taxes such as income tax. These are rightwing-centre-right policies. On the other hand the Liberals support; Kyoto, millenium scholarship fund, constitutional patriation, medicare, old age pensions, encroaching on provincial responsibilities. Generally centre-left in nature.
So for Wikipedia to state the Liberal party sits between the centre to centre-left of the conventional political spectrum (that has limited application in Canada where political cleavages are traditionally based upon constitutional or linguistic policy) is at best a misinterpretation of the Delacourt article and at worst biased.
Either the position of the Liberal party should be broadened to include centre-right or the cited article by Delacourt should be removed.

The exceptions are a couple of additional clarifications requested in the final parts of the article, which I would like your feedback on, and also a query on the article's talkpage about the Tajbeg Palace's ability to withstand artillery bombardment.
If time and timing allows, I will also assist with any further issues or prose changes that are brought up in the impending GA review. I should also mention that, if in the future you go on to nominate the article for FAC, it will need yet further substantial work on the prose first; Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests/Potential Featured Articles is a good place to ask for this, although it can be even slower than the ordinary requests page.

Hi, I was reviewing the edits made to Georgy Malenkov [6] by IP 12.147.22.105. It looks like a lot of NPOV and uncited material was added. He/she made quite a hash of the carefully written Joseph Brodsky article, (NPOV, false facts, duff English) which it has taken a long time to clean up. Would you mind having a look at the changes to Malenkov since January? The article has grown by a quarter (despite your reverts and re-reverts). I appreciate your eyes on this, if you have a moment.

Hello TIAYN. It's OK to remove one request and replace it with another occasionally, but it's not OK to remove a request once a copy editor has started work, as this wastes the copy editor's time.

TIAYN, I added this to the Marxism-Leninism article this: "Through the policy of democratic centralism, the communist party is the supreme political institution of the Marxist-Leninist state." - with a reference, you later deliberately copied word-for-word what I wrote, and made this: "Through the policy of democratic centralism, the Ba'ath party is the supreme political institution of a Ba'athist state" - the bolded part are the words you copied from the Marxism-Leninism article and used for the Ba'athism article - the only original words in it are "Ba'ath" and "a Ba'athist" - and the sentence has no reference to support it.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:34, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of left and far left parties in Europe shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- RJFF ( talk) 09:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

In response, I made changes to the Marxism-Leninism article in response to your earlier criticisms and removed much of the individual examples of Marxist-Leninist governments and it is now largely focused on ideology. I like the layout in the Marxism-Leninism article because it is rational, organized, easy to read, and can be applied to any ideology. I don't like the way that all the ideology articles are at present - they are very idiosyncratic, long-winded on certain issues, short on others, and difficult for readers to find a general overview of the ideology. As for your issue on Marxism-Leninism, Joseph Stalin's government created the term "Marxism-Leninism" and it was originally strongly connected to Stalinism, it was Khruschev who dissassociated Marxism-Leninism from Stalinism. Kim Il-Sung was a Stalinist and Stalinism is a major form of Marxism-Leninism. Stalinism in my view is a sociopathic version of communism - based on the Machiavellian idea that the ends justify the means - it creates a socialist society where the economy is "publicly controlled" by a totalitarian state, it develops the economy on Marxist historical-determinist lines - focusing on developing a socialist society through rapid industrialization, but ultimately Stalinism has no moral conscience because it was developed by a sociopathic man.-- R-41 ( talk) 01:46, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I specifically added in the talk page of that article that the name "Ba'athist Iraq" is far more commonly used than the present title. Wikipedia policy is to use the most common name. The only instances were a common name should not be used is if the common name is a common pejorative or vulgar name used over a less commonly used official name - "Ba'athist Iraq" doesn't sound vulgar to me, it simply acknowledges that the period was defined by rule by the Ba'ath Party. Note that I explicitly excluded Wikipedia by "-wikipedia" so that only non-Wikipedia uses would come up.-- R-41 ( talk) 13:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

You should be aware that the government prior to the Ba'ath for the most part sought to ease Arab-Kurdish strife, it may have acted militarily against Kurdish separatists - but the state adopted state symbolism that explicitly included Kurdish symbolism and allowed use of the Kurdish language. Kurds today who remain willing to remain in Iraq - provided that it makes amends to them - see this regime as the last legitimate Iraqi state for the Kurds - these Kurds fly the flag from this era while refusing to fly the Ba'ath era and post-Ba'ath era flags. Again, heed my warning, do not post another rude response, or I will report you for violating WP:CIVIL.-- R-41 ( talk) 14:11, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
We are in deadlock with neither of us seeming to be able to come to an agreement with each other. I am going to put this issue up as an RfC, asking users the following: "Do you support this article being renamed "Ba'athist Iraq"?" I will put my position of WP:COMMON NAME for the Support side, and you can put your position for the Oppose side.-- R-41 ( talk) 01:47, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
You are free and welcome to disagree with me about the name and discuss the issue, however you have repeatedly violated WP:CIVIL towards me, after I specifically told you to cease doing so and warned you that I would not tolerate further incivil behaviour towards me. You did not respect by warning, so I have reported you to Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance for violation of WP:CIVIL.-- R-41 ( talk) 17:29, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I brought up RfC so that many Wikipedia users could be brought in to discuss the name and determine whether based on WP:COMMON NAME as claimed by be it should be changed to "Ba'athist Iraq" as I support or whether by other policies it should remain "History of Iraq (1968-2003)" as supported by you. That is fair - it is not overruning anyone, it makes it no longer an stalemate argument between two users, and allows many people to add their views to allow a greater perspective on the issue.-- R-41 ( talk) 17:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Now aside from the dispute that has been brought up at the Wikquette page where you can address it there, I just have found sources that state that Qassim was Arabo-Kurdish born of a Sunni Muslim Arab father and a Shia Muslim Kurdish mother [3], plus Qassim and his supporters stressed "Iraqiness" and stated that "Iraq is not only an Arab state, but an Arabo-Kurdish state...[T]he recognition of Kurdish nationalism by Arabs proves clearly that we are associated in the country, that we are Irakians first, Arabs and Kurds later". The Qassim government sought to make Iraq bilingual, learning the Kurdish language was mandatory in Iraq's teachers colleges under Qassim in 1961 - in the midst of Kurdish revolts as noted in this article - for him to pass such a law under these circumstances reveals he was not as hardline against the Kurds as you suggest he was. [4] So claims that Qassim and his supporters were "anti-Kurdish" or deliberately sought to persecute the Kurds, other than suppression of separatism that threatened to break up Iraq, are false. Not all of the rebels in the Free Officer Movement agreed with Qassim's approach - a number were Arab officers who didn't care about Kurdish demands, but Qassim and his supporters on this issue pressed for ameliorating Kurdish concerns in Iraq.-- R-41 ( talk) 18:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I have found very strong evidence that the article History of Iraq (1958–1968) should be split into articles on 1958-1963 under Qassim's Iraqi civic nationalist regime and one on 1963-1968 under Arif's Nasserist pan-Arabist regime. The following is from the article on Qassim:
And then after Qassim was overthrown by the Ba'ath in 1963 and then the Ba'ath was overthrown later in 1963 and Arif rose to power. As you can see from the text above, Arif's government was not a restoration of Qassim's government, as Qassim's government had sentenced Arif to life in prison, but a new regime altogether. Thus with this, I support the splitting of the article.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:31, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I just did some heavy editing to it due to the fact that post 1982 events and people were in the template. The template you created is the Breznev era, 1964-1982. Korean Air 007, the 1984 Summer Olympics boycott, and even listing Chernenko as a Soviet premier don't fit the parameters of what the template is supposed to be covering. They being put in a template covering 1983 to the fall of the USSR would be appropriate.

You may well be correct about those articles on the General Secretary elections, but this cannot be decided via speedy deletion. I marked the articles with the "disputed" tag; I suggest you discuss on the talk p. of the main article.

Those articles might well be a load of bollocks, but you aren't giving a reason that's valid under the CSD rules. CSD doesn't cover everything - it's very limited. The best way is to take the lot to an AfD for a consensus to be reached. Please do not blank the pages in the meantime - that could be regarded as vandalism no matter how well intentioned. Blanking is only for copyvio, attack and requesting deletion of a page that you have created. (Sometimes used on userpages for bad spam, but I doubt that's strictly within the guidelines.) These articles are not in those areas. You could try 'hoax', but I doubt they would be regarded as blatant hoaxes - the CSD hoax is supposed to be a stand-up-and-hit-you thing, like a 10 year old winning the Nobel Prize for Physics.

While reading the article on the LIberal party of Canada I noticed some inconsistencies that put into doubt the credibility of the article as well as a number of grammar mistakes.
The first paragraph second sentence reads: "In the conventional political spectrum, the party sits between the centre and the centre-left".[2] This is simply incorrect. The Liberal party policy fluctuates between centre-right and centre-left: support for the monarchy, Senate downloading costs onto provinces during the 1990's; centre-right. Support for Kyoto and medicare; centre-left.
What troubles me is the citation used to justify the centre-centre-left argument. The article by Susan Delacourt of the Toronto Star (a traditional Liberal newspaper), quotes then Liberal leader Ignatieff, who called the party: "the coalition at the centre of Canadian life" and goes on to say “We have to stand in the centre, drawing people from both sides of the political spectrum.”
The interpretation used in the wikipedia article clearly is a misreading of the article by Ms. Delacourt. Either the citation should be removed or a broader definition of where the Liberals rest on the traditional politcal spectrum (that has limited application in Canada where division traiditionally cleave along constitutional lines) should be used.

Trust All You Need:
I found some inconsistencies with the Liberal Party of Canada article. In the first paragraph second sentence; "In the conventional political spectrum, the party sits between the centre and the centre-left".[2]However, the cited article by Susan Delacourt contradicts this interpretation of Liberal policy positioning. In the article then Liberal leader Ignatieff states: "We’re the coalition at the centre of Canadian life" then, "We have to stand in the centre, drawing people from both sides of the political spectrum". Clearly indicating the Liberal party is on the centre-right to centre-left of Canadian politics or more generally in the centre.
The Liberal party's ideology fluctuates between centre-right and centre-left. The Liberal party supports the monarchy, Senate, unloading services onto provinces during the 1990's through the cutting of monies to social transfers and services, "regressive" consumption taxes such as the HST/GST while dropping "progressive" taxes such as income tax. These are rightwing-centre-right policies. On the other hand the Liberals support; Kyoto, millenium scholarship fund, constitutional patriation, medicare, old age pensions, encroaching on provincial responsibilities. Generally centre-left in nature.
So for Wikipedia to state the Liberal party sits between the centre to centre-left of the conventional political spectrum (that has limited application in Canada where political cleavages are traditionally based upon constitutional or linguistic policy) is at best a misinterpretation of the Delacourt article and at worst biased.
Either the position of the Liberal party should be broadened to include centre-right or the cited article by Delacourt should be removed.

TIAYN:
You are listed as: "(Liberalism)Project founder, interested in social liberalism and the Liberal Party of Canada". I assume that gives you some ability to change mistakes within the article.

Hi, just to let you know the requested copyedit of Hafizullah Amin is now complete. The exceptions are a couple of additional clarifications requested in the final parts of the article, which I would like your feedback on, and also a query on the article's talkpage about the Tajbeg Palace's ability to withstand artillery bombardment.
If time and timing allows, I will also assist with any further issues or prose changes that are brought up in the impending GA review. I should also mention that, if in the future you go on to nominate the article for FAC, it will need yet further substantial work on the prose first; Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests/Potential Featured Articles is a good place to ask for this, although it can be even slower than the ordinary requests page.
It was very interesting to learn more about the background to this period of Afghanistan's history. Congratulations on your hard work in improving the coverage of these important topics. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 04:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Just to let you know I've fixed some ISBN errors at Ba'ath Party (Iraqi-led faction). When you made this edit, I think you got hold of some 10-digit book numbers from somewhere and tacked "978-" on the front of each one. That doesn't work, as 13-digit book numbers use a different checksum method. It's fine to use the 10-digit number if you don't have the correct 13-digut number handy. -- John of Reading ( talk) 18:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

On 28 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Syria Region, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in Syria was established in 1947 by a Christian, a Sunni Muslim, and followers of an Alawite?

Hi. When you recently edited Le Duan, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orthodox and President of China ( 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.

Hi, I was reviewing the edits made to Georgy Malenkov [6] by IP 12.147.22.105. It looks like a lot of NPOV and uncited material was added. He/she made quite a hash of the carefully written Joseph Brodsky article, (NPOV, false facts, duff English) which it has taken a long time to clean up. Would you mind having a look at the changes to Malenkov since January? The article has grown by a quarter (despite your reverts and re-reverts). I appreciate your eyes on this, if you have a moment.

Hello TIAYN. It's OK to remove one request and replace it with another occasionally, but it's not OK to remove a request once a copy editor has started work, as this wastes the copy editor's time. I have removed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan for the time being. You're welcome to add it once Era of Stagnation has been completed. -- Stfg ( talk) 11:09, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
TIAYN, I added this to the Marxism-Leninism article this: "Through the policy of democratic centralism, the communist party is the supreme political institution of the Marxist-Leninist state." - with a reference, you later deliberately copied word-for-word what I wrote, and made this: "Through the policy of democratic centralism, the Ba'ath party is the supreme political institution of a Ba'athist state" - the bolded part are the words you copied from the Marxism-Leninism article and used for the Ba'athism article - the only original words in it are "Ba'ath" and "a Ba'athist" - and the sentence has no reference to support it.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:34, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of left and far left parties in Europe shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- RJFF ( talk) 09:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
