Paul Robeson

Please see WP:NPOV/N#Paul Robeson and related articles. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 22:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Robeson

On Robeson and Fefer see also, it seems more favorable to R.: Arno Lustiger: Rotbuch: Stalin und die Juden. 1998 (no google-preview, at least not in Germany). The book has been translated into English. Lustiger is a serious historian. He has posted on the death of Fefer and his comrades at http://forum.hagalil.com/archiv-a/messanges/3320/10458.html .--Radh (talk) 17:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

The Paul Robeson archive at the Akademie der Künste in East-Berlin was founded (in 1965) by ("white") Victor Grossman (born: Stephen Wechsler), a "red diaper New York radical", who deserted the U.S. Army in West-Germany in 1952 and fled east - feering prosecution because of his Korean-war/1951 "loyalty oath falsification", he says - he also somewhere says he had met (the top Comintern operative for the USA in the 1930's) Gerhart Eisler, when Eisler spoke at Harvard. Strangely enough later in Berlin Eisler was the boss of his boss when he worked as a radio journalist. Memoir: Crossing the River, U o Mass. Press, 2003. (the Rosenbergs are "a progressive young Jewish couple")

Robeson's assistant on Freedom - articles and on his autobiography, L. Lloyd Brown (1913) was another life-long communist around Robeson; Frank Marshall Davis also was a "friend" it seems. WP has the absolutely astonishing statement, that R. told Davis c.1948 to go to Hawaii!. Davis was in front organizations, he def. was a party member in 1951, probably much earlier. He helped organize the underground cp in Hawaii.

Brown was a member since 1929 (Young Communist League); editor of the New Masses and Masses and Mainstream (1946-1954). He left the party in 1953 and (or: as?) he began to work for Robeson. Another sign, that R. indeed was a secret party member?

All this is not that astonishing or remarkable, although his cooperation with L. Lloyd Brown probably is, but there will be hundreds more.--Radh (talk) 15:03, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Oliver Law

Sprtacus Schoolnet, Esquerra Party mentiones Law in its entry on Martin (Marty) Hourihan. And the site has a lot of Spanish Civil War activists not here (or with very bad articles, like Steve Nelson (activist)).--Radh (talk) 08:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Recent overhaul of Robeson

Good edits and good luck with convincing the other editor of your good faith. You could keep pointing her towards good and featured biographies that use an even-handed approach. It was User:Moni3 who put in a massive effort to get Harvey Milk to FA, and she might be willing to advise on this one. I think if you put it into FA right now it would be mainly the length that would hold it back. Itsmejudith (talk) 16:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Your message

I'll review Paul Robeson when I can, but I'm about to go on a Wikibreak so I'm not sure when I'll get the chance. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:07, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Punctuation

Hi. Concerning your message in Yobot's talk page: Per WP:REFPUNCT "When a reference tag coincides with punctuation, the tag is placed immediately after the punctuation" and this what Yobot did. Yobot uses WP:AWB which implements this guideline. As far as I remember there was a big discussion t some point and consensus changed from "use any style you want" to "use the Chicago style". Yobot found the page in WP:CHECKWIKI database which records pages with errors of any kind (i.e. pages that don't follow the manual of style are reported there). -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:04, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Where is that discussion? Str1977 ^(talk) 10:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I am not 100% sure. I found this discussion which looks relevant. I only know the result because after that we, in AWB, after the punctuation move in general fixes. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Political views of Paul Robeson

Hi Str. If you drop me a quick word, just a bit more specifically about the section(s) of the article you think need addressing, I will have a look at it. Cheers. Itsmejudith (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tom Nash

The article Tom Nash has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicate disambiguation page - see Thomas Nash (disambiguation). It would be better for Tom Nash (American football) to be moved here.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Anthem 09:38, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

I added the two extra entries on the dab page proposed for deletion unto the Thomas Nash dab page. This should settle matters. Str1977 ^(talk) 07:06, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Abortion - death

Take a look at the Abortion lede. Someone is trying to change it again. 67.233.18.28 (talk) 16:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for joining in the discussion. I hope you will visit again today. 67.233.18.28 (talk) 18:40, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

If you really must do your reverts, could I ask that you at least do them carefully? Your last one removed a whole host of other good edits as well, such as the addition of clarifying wikilinks and the decapitalization of section headers. Speaking of your reverting though, that's the second time in recent days that you have reverted without discussing anything on the talk page. Such a thing is unacceptable. I would like you to note Wikipedia:General sanctions/Abortion/Log, which provides for sanctions for continuing such behavior. NW (Talk) 11:06, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
