Category:Spanish anarchists

[edit]

This category might need some TLC but I wanted to ask around. Some thoughts:

  1. Remove Spanish anarcho-syndicalists and put everything in Spanish anarchists?
  2. Rename Anarchists from Catalonia to Catalan anarchists?
  3. Remove anarchists from the CNT members category, leaving the CNT members category for people not identified as anarchists who were in the CNT? Similar to how the FAUD in German anarchists and USI in Italian anarchists works.
  4. Potentially add a new category for Basque anarchists?

Link: Category:Spanish anarchists AnarchistHistory (talk) 14:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. This category definitely seems redundant. With the exception of Farga i Pellicer and Saperas Mirò, all the entries were members of the CNT. Feel free to submit it as a category for discussion.
  2. See Category:Politicians from Catalonia; the "from Catalonia" thing is standardised as Catalonia is not (yet) a sovereign state.
  3. I would oppose this, the CNT was an enormous organisation (and is still pretty big!) and its membership is independently notable as a category.
  4. I'd go further and say we should have categories for each of the autonomous communities of Spain, following the lead of the Spanish Wikipedia's categories. This would help with the overlap between the Spanish anarchists and CNT members categories, as we could better sort between anarchists of different regions.

For #3, this strikes me as more likely to be a problem with the Germany/FAUD and Italian/USI categories than with Spanish/CNT. -- asilvering (talk) 15:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AnarchistHistory: Hey I see you've created the category for Basque anarchists, would you be interested in making categories for the other nationalities of Spain as well? --Grnrchst (talk) 14:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My only issue is that nationalities outside of Catalan and Basque are generally not mentioned in the specific biographies of Spanish anarchists. AnarchistHistory (talk) 17:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AnarchistHistory: I'd be interested to know what sources you're looking at, as it's quite common to find references for other nationalities. E.g. Joaquín Ascaso as Aragonese;[1] José Pellicer Gandía as Valencian;[2] Francisco Jordán as Andalusian;[3] and Secundino Delgado as Canarian.[4] I understand that the Catalans and Basques are the best known nationalities outside of Spain, but I don't think it's the case that other nationalities aren't mentioned. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This might just be my own ignorance of Spain's nationalities then. I can begin work :)
Following up on Category: Spanish anarcho-syndicalists, I have no idea how to submit it as a category of discussion. AnarchistHistory (talk) 16:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AnarchistHistory: I've opened a merge discussion. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's 7th edit-a-thon

[edit]

Hey all. Next month, October 2024, Women in Green is hosting the second edition of our Around the World in 31 Days edit-a-thon. The aim is to write and review good articles about women from at least 31 different countries. In case anyone else here is interested, I thought I'd repost another list of anarchist women from around the world, this time based on the highest number of interwiki links:

If you fancy improving one of these articles, or even some others, I hope you take the opportunity to do so. You'll be able to find me coordinating the edit-a-thon and can ask any questions you have over at the event talk page. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:33, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small anarchist movements in Asian countries

[edit]

As it currently stands, the List of anarchist movements by region links to about 90 articles covering anarchist movements by various regions. In the course of my research about anarchism I have found information on Asian anarchist movements in many places that exist outside of the listed places that are too small (in my opinion) to warrant their own article but in my opinion should still should have some kind of mention. This is already done in the Anarchism in Africa, which covers smaller anarchist movements that only have a couple of sources (Angola, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and so on).

The main country I have in mind for the moment is Lebanon. Which there is evidence for a limited anarchist movement in.

So I can see 4 possibilities

  1. Create an article titled "Anarchism in Asia" - which I have experimented with in draftspace
  2. Overhaul List of anarchist movements by region to include specific information about anarchist movements in each country
  3. Do both of the above
  4. Do not do any of the above

What are peoples thoughts? AnarchistHistory (talk) 21:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess my question would be is whether there is enough information out there about these smaller movements to justify such a macro-article. The Anarchism in Africa article manages to put together at least a single decent-sized paragraph for each of its regions listed; is there enough out there for minor Asian movements to have multiple sections with at least one paragraph of information?
Also, while there have been books and articles written about anarchism from a pan-African perspective, I don't think I've come across many written from a pan-Asian perspective. Usually works on Asian anarchisms are more focused on specific regions (south Asia, east Asia, etc.) rather than the Asian continent as a whole. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hellos AnarchistHistory :) Grnrchst raises a good point about pan-African anarchism vs pan-Asian activism, but I would still say it's better to make an overview Anarchism in Asia then spin-off individual countries, than to start with regions. There would seem to be enough to make an article sized contribution, since just off the top of my head I can think about movements in South Korea and Indonesia. I took a peek at your draft AnarchistHistory, since anyone can view it. I see parallels with some of my Squatting in X drafts such as Wikipedia:WikiProject_Squatting/Draft/Squatting_in_Asia, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to go live with a header for each country. Perhaps it's better to start like that then pull the countries together for which info exists into broader areas, which I have started to do topdown at Squatting, with the vague objective to then get to continental pages Squatting in North America feeding on to individual countries, of which quite a lot now exist (ever wondered about Squatting in Vanuatu? well, luckily wikipedia has an article on that). It's an interesting question how to expand articles, I don't think there's any one "right" way here. Certainly in terms of countering systemic bias any work on anarchisms in Asia is to be appreciated. Mujinga (talk) 10:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stub expansion project update

[edit]

Following the changes during the cleanup drive, we are almost back to our goal of <20% of articles being stubs. I thought I'd take the moment to draw attention to some of our most popular stubs, which receive many daily average pageviews (DAPV) and as such would benefit the most from expansion:

If you fancy taking any of these on for improvement, please do. Even a little bit of tlc can go a long way. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:53, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recategorized some miscategorized stubs and we're back at goal :) czar 14:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
