Forward (generic name of socialist publications)

I just wanted to let you know that someone has nominated for deletion this page you created. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forward (generic name of socialist publications). Peacock (talk) 20:30, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Regarding Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Forward_(generic_name_of_socialist_publications)

Please comment on why you started this article.

I find it troubling that as part of its creation, you tagged The Forward, a Jewish-American publication that is translated in both Yiddish and English and has nothing to do with socialism, as a "socialist publication." Even moreso since you apparently deliberately created a duplicate disambiguation page (one already existed for Forward) in order to do so. SkepticAnonymous (talk) 21:07, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

We're workers, let's unite

Hi Soman, how are you? Happy 1 May! I've been looking through your list of creations for guidance but can't find it: I can't tell if I should translate party names or not. I made Stichting Oud Politieke Delinquenten and then discovered that National European Social Movement (an associated club of fascists) already existed with an English title. In your list I saw both translated and untranslated titles. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Nachrichten

Hi! The hook for this article has been promoted to a Did You Know prep area, but someone raised a question about sourcing at WT:Did you know. When I had a look, I noticed there is no reference on the actual hook fact sentence - the one about publication frequency having to be reduced to 18 times a month because of paper shortages. Could you add a reference at the end of that sentence so that the hook doesn't have to be pulled out of prep? It may be in the source you cite at the end of the paragraph, or have got accidentally removed in a revision of the article, but there needs to be a ref. on the actual sentence under the rules. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:17, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

There is a reference at the end of the sentence, backing up the hook fact, see "In the same year a shortage of paper made it necessary to limit the frequency of publishing to 18 issues per month and reduce circulation to around 25,000.[1]". --Soman (talk) 19:51, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Just added by Orlady with this edit. As I suspected, it was covered in the source you had cited at the end of the paragraph. But the ref on the particular sentence with the hook fact must have got lost somehow. All's well that ends well! Yngvadottir (talk) 19:56, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Not successful

Soman, I have been unsuccessful while searching for information on the Spanish 1960s group Vanguardia Socialista, whose leader was Alberto Fernández. The only thing I could find is that it was one of the groups that helped to establish the FRAP. I wonder whether by any chance you know anything else about VS and its leader, because an article cannot be made with the scant available information. Thanks. Xufanc (talk) 11:21, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

""...realizada en octubre de 1964 y una nueva escision se produce con elementos que provenían de las J.S. y publican Argumentos. Más tarde, algunos elementos socialistas radicalizados formarán a su vez la Vanguardia Socialista, de tendencia parecida. Todo aquello debilitó progresivamente la FUDE, en la que..." from http://books.google.com/books?id=ql0MAQAAMAAJ Thus we know its a leftist splinter group of PSOE (probably from its youth or students) that appeared sometime after October 1964. --Soman (talk) 12:47, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

"Incluso en el PSOE se forma una fracción de izquierda en torno a Alvarez del Vayo que dará lugar a Vanguardia Socialista, que participará posteriormente ( 1971) en la creación del FRAP junto con el PC (m-1)." http://books.google.com/books?id=QpHsAAAAMAAJ

"socialistes du PSOE ont leurs propres « gauchistes », regroupés dans la Vanguardia socialista" http://books.google.com/books?id=jdoqAQAAIAAJ --Soman (talk) 12:54, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

There are also mentions of a "Vanguardia Socialista Revolucionaria"; a PSOE leftist splinter-group. Perhaps it is the same group? --Soman (talk) 13:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Moreover, Vanguardia Socialista was a common name for several PSOE and JSE publications. --Soman (talk) 13:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

http://books.google.com/books?id=_CRpAAAAMAAJ mentions Alfreo Fernández as a 'coreligionario' of Alvarez del Vayo. --Soman (talk) 13:05, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

http://pegatinas.webcindario.com/pce%20m-l%20eskema.pdf seems to imply that FELN and VS are the same? --Soman (talk) 13:13, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
