Welcome to the talk space of the Anarchism WikiProject. This area serves as a noticeboard for discussions, notices, and requests pertaining to Wikipedia's coverage of anarchist philosophy, practice, culture, and history.
Here is the full list of anarchism articles in need of cleanup. Below is a subset for focus during the cleanup drive. Strike out completed items with {{
s}} and we'll add more sections as we go.
Biographies of living persons (10)
These articles have any cleanup tag but are high priority because we hold
biographies on living people to a higher standard
Search for the passages tagged with {{
citation needed}} and either (a) add a source and remove the tag, or (b) remove the passage and the tag if it cannot be verified
Our
cleanup backlog has grown since
the last drive, so thought we could kickoff another push for the month of May. There are currently 228 articles tagged in total with 386 tagged issues. Can we get it down to zero?
For a place to start, I thought biographies of living people (BLPs) and articles in need of citations would be good. To cross off finished items from the list, there is
a link above to edit the section (so as not to bother watchers of this page). Open to any other ideas here as well to make it interesting. Perhaps we should set up a mailing list for editors who have participated in the project previously?
If this is your first time participating in a cleanup drive on Wikipedia, (1) you're invited to
be bold and try your best to resolve cleanup issues, and (2) if you have any questions or need a hand, please respond below and someone will help! czar14:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Oof, there is a lot of work to do on some of these articles. Some should be simple enough to fix but damn, others have much deeper problems that I'm not sure simply addressing the CN tags will solve. --

Addressing the {{
citation needed}} tags is enough to remove it from this list but if an article needs more support, feel free to bring it to discussion so others can chip in too. czar03:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Well, we can't fix everything all at once. It's a work in progress. As much as I'd like to fix everything everywhere, as long as we don't have falsehoods or policy violations hanging around... it's ok that some things are a bit crap. --

@
Czar: Hey, we seem to have gone way over the limit of templates on one page, which I think has come down to both the cleanup drive transclusion and the recent literature transclusion having introduced a lot more than the page can handle. I manually archived a section and removed a bunch of templates from another, but this problem still persists. I think we may need to consider that striking every resolved entry, rather than simply removing it from the list, is causing problems of its own. --

Ok no, after doing a bunch of archivals and changes, then just fiddling around with removing random hings, I identified the newly-added "Recent stubs" template as the source of the problem. I have temporarily removed it, just so the entire page doesn't break. We need to figure out what went wrong with it before we add it back in. --

Ooh we're close to finishing this one off! Don't know how much time I can spend on this area this month, as my attentions are focused on the
Women in Green edit-a-thon, but I hope we'll be able to address these last few before the end of the unsourced statements drive. :) --

No problem, I just thought I could help since I know Danish and could get Danish sources. There's still room for improvement in the article :) //

So after probably too long of this sitting in my drafts, I finally managed to put together a report on the "Free Territory" citogenesis incident and The Commoner agreed to publish it. A lot of this is old news on here, but if you're interested in reading: "
We Carry a Free Territory in Our Hearts" --

I actually already knew about the most widely-known flag being technically incorrect and the name "Free Territory" originating from Wikipedia, but I didn't realize that it was that transient as a political area.

Yes same lostn! I assumed the zone Makhno's forces controlled lasted for longer. Nice one Grnrchst, I stumbled across the article on patreon and was like hang on a minute this must be you know who! I wasn't sure if you wanted it linked to your wiki identity or not (even if it would be fairly easy to connect) but since you've let the cat out of the bag already that's ok :)

Yeah the commoner! Which I must've randomly joined by searching for anarchism or somesuch. I just joined patreon to follow a podcast about the neolithic age which i really like and hadn't realised went paywalled a year ago.

Developing Countries WikiContest
Hi everyone. Next week marks the beginning of the
2024 Developing Countries WikiContest, which is dedicated to improving articles about the
Global South. Articles focused on Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe account for roughly one quarter of our project. If you fancy taking on some articles for improvement during this event, feel free to spool through our categories covering
Africa,
Asia and
South America, as well as relevant parts of
Europe and
North America. We also have some
vital articles from these regions that still need improving, so if you fancy taking those on, they are:
I don't know how much I'll be able to participate, as I'm feeling quite burned out at the moment, but I think this would be an excellent opportunity for us to expand our geographical focus. --
