Many (most?) of our top-level articles read like a copy-pasted patchwork of summaries from other schools-of-thought articles. Much of it is held over from early Wikipedia. The articles really need a rework towards their specific topic areas and histories, with historical sources specific to that school of thought (better bibliographies). Others probably need to be blown up and rebuilt altogether... There was one custom note written for Left-wing market anarchism (cited from The American as Anarchist) that repeated the same inaccurate claim in eight other articles. I imagine some subtopics wouldn't even warrant splitting from their parent articles once the duplicated content is assessed and removed. czar 03:36, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm working on a project that entails importing Category:Anarchists affiliation into Wikidata: political ideology (P1142) of anarchism (Q6199) (or subclass of (P279)). Then we can use Wikidata to populate a worklist of what can be translated from other language Wikipedias. For example, it becomes easier to see articles with good/featured status on other language Wikipedias as priority translations. Bulk of the work right now is confirming that the bios/orgs in the category are indeed affiliated with anarchism, so the connection isn't imported to Wikidata erroneously. Hoping to move to the category equivalents from other language Wikipedias, as there might be good articles written in Spanish, Russian, etc. that don't exist at all on enwp. Let me know if you're curious/interested and I can provide more detail. czar 22:49, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi, does anyone know where this photo of Rudolf Rocker is from? The uploader claimed he created it himself, but that seems doubtful. It'd be nice to have some evidence of who created it and when it was first published to determine whether it's in the public domain. If we can't determine where it's from it might need to be replaced by a different picture of Rocker. Thanks for your help,-- Carabinieri ( talk) 19:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
I've been working through the ATF's cleanup queues for over a year and find that many articles have only peripheral connection to "philosophy" or anarchism as a political philosophy. This has come up years ago and I think about it every time I add a "philosophy" banner to articles that have no more connection to "philosophy" as a defining trait than they do to "sociology" or "politics". Would anyone object to breaking out this anarchism WikiProject from under Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy so that our rating can work independently from the Philosophy project? czar 12:00, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?

I just realized this Wikiproject exists, and thought it would be worth notifying you all of a big dispute brewing regarding Libertarianism, Left-libertarianism, and especially Right-libertarianism (the origin of the dispute), including where in there anarchism / libertarian socialism fits. None of those pages seem to be listed within the purview of this Wikiproject otherwise I'd have notified you all sooner; seems to me like at least the first two really ought to be, given their content.

Hi! I've been doing some work improving articles related to anarchism in Japan, and came across your edit from January 2019 to the article on Kōtoku Shūsui, removing John Crump's pamphlet 'The Anarchist Movement in Japan, 1906-1996 as an unreliable source. Up to this point (in edits to Japanese Anarchist Federation and Heimin Shinbun) I've been utilising it as a factual source despite its bias due to the expertise exhibited by Crump in a number of other works on the subject. Particularly on some specific claims such as the precise founding/dissolution date of an organisation, I don't necessarily see it as being particularly open to bias, even if he does exhibit a clear political leaning in the pamphlet.
I'm willing to defer to you on this though due to your experience - do you think I should avoid using the pamphlet altogether as a source, only use it for very specific claims, or feel free to continue to cite it as I have? (Let me know if I'm asking this question in the wrong place!) Sparkledriver ( talk) 00:08, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, @ Sparkledriver! Thanks for asking. I'm of two minds. On one hand, reliability rests with the editorial process (i.e., what body is verifying the work for us?) and if I recall correctly, I didn't see the publisher (the British Anarchist Federation) having an editorial process for its pamphlet series. I haven't seen the print version, so I could be missing something, but generally pamphlets aren't designated as reliable sources for an encyclopedia and partisan org publishers usually make no claims to journalistic standards. It's strange because Crump has already published two books on the subject, which brings me to the other hand, that Crump's pamphlet OCLC 51959102 could ostensibly stand as a subject-matter expert source (which comes with standard restrictions) but why hasn't this info been published in an independent reliable source? Surely he has access to many methods of publishing this kind of work, especially if it's one of the main, accessible overviews of the subject. I haven't gone through his books myself—and I just found a bunch of new sources in what appears to be an excellent bibliography doi: 10.1002/9781405198073.wbierp0062—but I would hope that there are better sources for the conclusions he makes/summarizes in the pamphlet. It is in a gray area so open to other perspectives/info. And I'll take this to a wider audience ( WT:@) in case someone has extra sources. czar 01:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Moved from my talk page, in case anyone else has suggestions czar 01:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
(outdent) Yeah, I took that sentence to mean that the organization was re-established in 1956, but I see that it could be read differently. I think your suggestion is fine. Maybe the question could be settled definitively by finding someone who can check some sources in Japanese, but I think your suggestion is definitely on the safe side.-- Carabinieri ( talk) 12:43, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. When i see: {{WikiProject Philosophy |class= |importance= |1= |anarchism=yes}} but it is not really in the scope of philosophy should i be changing it to: {{WikiProject Anarchism |class=|importance=}}?

Hi everyone. Czar recently removed a citation from the Anarchism in Brazil article as it was published by CrimethInc. (which I have provisionally reverted as CrimethInc. isn't the source, just the publisher of an English language translation) on the grounds that it is not a reliable source. Has there been any discussion on this in the past on the reliable sources noticeboard? If not, would it be worth opening up a discussion on this? I ask because I'm aware of a number of articles that still cite CrimethInc. articles, so I want to know if their reliability (or unreliability) has been previously established by community consensus. Thanks. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 12:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I have a question: Since 325.nostate.net is down (and will likely not be back up as we know it due to nostate.net servers being raided by the cops on March 29, 2021 and it's administrator being charged with terrorism offenses over the website, see link) I would like to know if when I come across citations that use 325 do we simply switch the citation to 'dead' leaving the link to the original article (that is unlikely to ever be back up at the old URL) in the citation or do we remove the 325.nostate.net links all together as they will not be coming back up, instead linking only to archive.org?

You may have noticed that we are approaching our goal of 80% of our articles being Start-class or above. At the time of writing this, we are 8.3% (111 articles) away from this milestone, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to kick the stub expansion project into a high gear. I'm trying to expand stubs that I find myself, recently I have expanded a number of stub articles including " Anarchism in Georgia", " International Alliance of Socialist Democracy", " Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation", " Communist League (UK, 1919)" and " Vanguard Group (anarchist)" among others, but haven't given them a new rating as I don't want to rate my own work. I'll be contributing further to expanding stubs and rating stubs that have been expanded by others, if anyone else would like to help out I would appreciate that greatly. You can find a list of stub articles under the Anarchism WikiProject here. Cheers. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 17:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I was digging through some of the templates when I came across Template:The Anarchist Barnstar and User WP Anarchism (I lost the original link, oops). We should consider putting these up front on the project page, especially since I had to do some digging to find them all. Additionally, a link to, or inclusion of Political Ideologies and Anarchist History userboxes would be a welcome inclusion. Maybe a few carrots will entice everyone through those last 30-40 stubs that need expanding 👀.

Is been a while since I've put out an anarchist GA. I've been fostering the CLODO article for some time now and I'd love some constructive criticism on the page before I take it to GA review. Its a niche neo-luddite anarchist group that was operating for only 4 years. My main concern is its limited content and overall page layout. It appears GettyImages has the rights to images from their arson attacks, so that's a no go. I'm still planning on giving it some touch ups (especially the lead and links).

Hi everyone. Today I was approached to be interviewed by The Commoner, an online anarchist publication. I'm hesitant to take up this offer for a number of reasons: firstly, I wanted to ensure I got the consensus of others working on WikiProject Anarchism, as such media attention could affect us collectively; secondly, I'm not sure what the Wikipedia policy/guideline is on media appearances by Wikipedians, or even if there is one; thirdly, I worry that it could attract negative attention in the form of harassment or vandalism; and finally, I'm personally worried that I as an individual couldn't comprehensively answer questions about a project with such a broad scope, in a way that abides by Wikipedia guidelines. If anyone could offer their thoughts and/or advice on how to handle this, I would greatly appreciate it. Obviously, if other members of the WikiProject strongly object to this, I will refuse comment and leave it at that. Best wishes. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 11:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

So I have been overseeing the expansion and restructuring of articles related to anarchism in Ukraine lately, this has included particularly big efforts on the articles about Nestor Makhno, the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine and Makhnovshchina. I have done a lot of work so far, but there is still a lot more work to do, which has brought me to levels of exhaustion and burnout that may force me to take some time off. As such, I'm requesting some help from others with these articles. Anything you can provide would be great.

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 "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
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.

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well! I'm currently making my way through the final touches for the article about Nestor Makhno, which is considered to be a Level 4 vital article, in hopes of getting it reviewed for good article status. This got me thinking about the other vital articles that we currently have under our care. What with the cleanup picking up steam (almost 2/3rds done), I thought now would be a good time to bring up and discuss how we can better focus on improving our vital articles.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I have very little interest in theory articles, so I'd probably be more focused on the historical and biographical articles. Aside from Makhno, I have collected biographies about Mikhail Bakunin, William Godwin, Emiliano Zapata and Buenaventura Durruti, and history books about the Spanish Civil War, so these will likely be the ones I move onto once I'm satisfied with the article on Makhno. Has anyone else in the WikiProject adopted any of our other vital articles? If not, would you be willing to? Thanks and best wishes. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 12:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Anarchism people. I have been gradually trying to improve Consensus decision-making for over a year now. Yesterday I added a section on Consensus decision-making#History. However, I've mostly been alone in my editing. Not only would it be more fun to edit with others, I grow slowly uncomfortable about having too much editorial influence (and therefore having increased risk of my work being later removed).
Consensus decision-making is currently rated C-Class, despite being 1 of just 14 Top-importance anarchism articles. Perhaps some of you are interested to get involved? DougInAMug talk 15:49, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi everyone. I recently went through the sources I had available to me and expanded the article on the Korean People's Association in Manchuria. What little information I was able to glean, I have now added to the article, but this represents the extent of it. I was wondering if anybody here knows of any further sources that I could add to the article? If not, it seems like this version of the article may be more-or-less complete. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 09:13, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Can someone who isn't about to fall asleep very carefully go over the earwig copyvio report for this article that just passed a DYK nom? It's checked off as "no copyvio or close paraphrasing", but the editor who recently closed the nomination made some alarming edits (eg [24], changing "about" to "approximately" with the edit summary "removing copyright concerns") - if there are copyright concerns here, that edit wouldn't fix them. There will be some false or irrelevant positives for sure, but it looks like some sentences are very close to how they appear in Anarchism in Korea.

Especially with what has been happening recently (the Michailidis Hunger strike currently and the Romanos hunger and thirst strike of a few years ago) I have been thinking about anarchists and the tradition of hunger strikes. Do you think it would be most pertinent to add them as examples along with the suffragettes and Irish Republicans under the Hunger strike page or do you think this would be better placed somewhere else? I assume for example we probably have some prisons related articles or sections it could be better placed in.

These currency stamps ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ukraine_rizn012.jpg) and their vectorized image ( Makhnovshchina#/media/File:Makhnovist Stamp.svg) are not authentic. The biggest give away is the use of the red hammer and sickle, which was not used by the Makhnovists and even amongst Communists was not yet widely in circulation in 1919 . The Ukrainian wiki for Makhnovist ruble points out that Makhnovists did not produce their own bills/stamps, etc., and specifically refers to this image as a forgery. I was unable to track the stamp sheet's exact origin (online or otherwise) but I could investigate further. UnknownVolin ( talk) 19:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Many (most?) of our top-level articles read like a copy-pasted patchwork of summaries from other schools-of-thought articles. Much of it is held over from early Wikipedia. The articles really need a rework towards their specific topic areas and histories, with historical sources specific to that school of thought (better bibliographies). Others probably need to be blown up and rebuilt altogether... There was one custom note written for Left-wing market anarchism (cited from The American as Anarchist) that repeated the same inaccurate claim in eight other articles. I imagine some subtopics wouldn't even warrant splitting from their parent articles once the duplicated content is assessed and removed. czar 03:36, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm working on a project that entails importing Category:Anarchists affiliation into Wikidata: political ideology (P1142) of anarchism (Q6199) (or subclass of (P279)). Then we can use Wikidata to populate a worklist of what can be translated from other language Wikipedias. For example, it becomes easier to see articles with good/featured status on other language Wikipedias as priority translations. Bulk of the work right now is confirming that the bios/orgs in the category are indeed affiliated with anarchism, so the connection isn't imported to Wikidata erroneously. Hoping to move to the category equivalents from other language Wikipedias, as there might be good articles written in Spanish, Russian, etc. that don't exist at all on enwp. Let me know if you're curious/interested and I can provide more detail. czar 22:49, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi, does anyone know where this photo of Rudolf Rocker is from? The uploader claimed he created it himself, but that seems doubtful. It'd be nice to have some evidence of who created it and when it was first published to determine whether it's in the public domain. If we can't determine where it's from it might need to be replaced by a different picture of Rocker. Thanks for your help,-- Carabinieri ( talk) 19:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
I've been working through the ATF's cleanup queues for over a year and find that many articles have only peripheral connection to "philosophy" or anarchism as a political philosophy. This has come up years ago and I think about it every time I add a "philosophy" banner to articles that have no more connection to "philosophy" as a defining trait than they do to "sociology" or "politics". Would anyone object to breaking out this anarchism WikiProject from under Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy so that our rating can work independently from the Philosophy project? czar 12:00, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I've been doing some work improving articles related to anarchism in Japan, and came across your edit from January 2019 to the article on Kōtoku Shūsui, removing John Crump's pamphlet 'The Anarchist Movement in Japan, 1906-1996 as an unreliable source. Up to this point (in edits to Japanese Anarchist Federation and Heimin Shinbun) I've been utilising it as a factual source despite its bias due to the expertise exhibited by Crump in a number of other works on the subject. Particularly on some specific claims such as the precise founding/dissolution date of an organisation, I don't necessarily see it as being particularly open to bias, even if he does exhibit a clear political leaning in the pamphlet.
I'm willing to defer to you on this though due to your experience - do you think I should avoid using the pamphlet altogether as a source, only use it for very specific claims, or feel free to continue to cite it as I have? (Let me know if I'm asking this question in the wrong place!) Sparkledriver ( talk) 00:08, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, @ Sparkledriver! Thanks for asking. I'm of two minds. On one hand, reliability rests with the editorial process (i.e., what body is verifying the work for us?) and if I recall correctly, I didn't see the publisher (the British Anarchist Federation) having an editorial process for its pamphlet series. I haven't seen the print version, so I could be missing something, but generally pamphlets aren't designated as reliable sources for an encyclopedia and partisan org publishers usually make no claims to journalistic standards. It's strange because Crump has already published two books on the subject, which brings me to the other hand, that Crump's pamphlet OCLC 51959102 could ostensibly stand as a subject-matter expert source (which comes with standard restrictions) but why hasn't this info been published in an independent reliable source? Surely he has access to many methods of publishing this kind of work, especially if it's one of the main, accessible overviews of the subject. I haven't gone through his books myself—and I just found a bunch of new sources in what appears to be an excellent bibliography doi: 10.1002/9781405198073.wbierp0062—but I would hope that there are better sources for the conclusions he makes/summarizes in the pamphlet. It is in a gray area so open to other perspectives/info. And I'll take this to a wider audience ( WT:@) in case someone has extra sources. czar 01:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Moved from my talk page, in case anyone else has suggestions czar 01:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
(outdent) Yeah, I took that sentence to mean that the organization was re-established in 1956, but I see that it could be read differently. I think your suggestion is fine. Maybe the question could be settled definitively by finding someone who can check some sources in Japanese, but I think your suggestion is definitely on the safe side.-- Carabinieri ( talk) 12:43, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi everyone. Czar recently removed a citation from the Anarchism in Brazil article as it was published by CrimethInc. (which I have provisionally reverted as CrimethInc. isn't the source, just the publisher of an English language translation) on the grounds that it is not a reliable source. Has there been any discussion on this in the past on the reliable sources noticeboard? If not, would it be worth opening up a discussion on this?

Hi everyone. Today I was approached to be interviewed by The Commoner, an online anarchist publication. I'm hesitant to take up this offer for a number of reasons: firstly, I wanted to ensure I got the consensus of others working on WikiProject Anarchism, as such media attention could affect us collectively; secondly, I'm not sure what the Wikipedia policy/guideline is on media appearances by Wikipedians, or even if there is one; thirdly, I worry that it could attract negative attention in the form of harassment or vandalism; and finally, I'm personally worried that I as an individual couldn't comprehensively answer questions about a project with such a broad scope, in a way that abides by Wikipedia guidelines. If anyone could offer their thoughts and/or advice on how to handle this, I would greatly appreciate it. Obviously, if other members of the WikiProject strongly object to this, I will refuse comment and leave it at that. Best wishes. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 11:15, 2 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 "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
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.

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well! I'm currently making my way through the final touches for the article about Nestor Makhno, which is considered to be a Level 4 vital article, in hopes of getting it reviewed for good article status. This got me thinking about the other vital articles that we currently have under our care. What with the cleanup picking up steam (almost 2/3rds done), I thought now would be a good time to bring up and discuss how we can better focus on improving our vital articles.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I have very little interest in theory articles, so I'd probably be more focused on the historical and biographical articles. Aside from Makhno, I have collected biographies about Mikhail Bakunin, William Godwin, Emiliano Zapata and Buenaventura Durruti, and history books about the Spanish Civil War, so these will likely be the ones I move onto once I'm satisfied with the article on Makhno. Has anyone else in the WikiProject adopted any of our other vital articles? If not, would you be willing to? Thanks and best wishes. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 12:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Anarchism people. I have been gradually trying to improve Consensus decision-making for over a year now. Yesterday I added a section on Consensus decision-making#History. However, I've mostly been alone in my editing. Not only would it be more fun to edit with others, I grow slowly uncomfortable about having too much editorial influence (and therefore having increased risk of my work being later removed).

Especially with what has been happening recently (the Michailidis Hunger strike currently and the Romanos hunger and thirst strike of a few years ago) I have been thinking about anarchists and the tradition of hunger strikes. Do you think it would be most pertinent to add them as examples along with the suffragettes and Irish Republicans under the Hunger strike page or do you think this would be better placed somewhere else? I assume for example we probably have some prisons related articles or sections it could be better placed in. Sorry for the vague question, It is just something I am unsure about, Thank you for your patience! SP00KY talk 19:02, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Catholic Worker Tom Cornell has died. Any help with the article would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley ( talk) 04:57, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
I want to draw attention to a particular image used on various Makhno-related wikis. These currency stamps ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ukraine_rizn012.jpg) and their vectorized image ( Makhnovshchina#/media/File:Makhnovist Stamp.svg) are not authentic. The biggest give away is the use of the red hammer and sickle, which was not used by the Makhnovists and even amongst Communists was not yet widely in circulation in 1919 . The Ukrainian wiki for Makhnovist ruble points out that Makhnovists did not produce their own bills/stamps, etc., and specifically refers to this image as a forgery. I was unable to track the stamp sheet's exact origin (online or otherwise) but I could investigate further. UnknownVolin ( talk) 19:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
