Talk:Makhnovism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Point of view

This article lacks a neutral point of view on several counts.

1. The title "Ukrainian Revolution" and scope as described in the article are misleading: Makhnovism constituted one small part of the Russian Revolution in Ukraine
2. The article unabashedly chooses sides, holding up Makhno and his anarchists as good and other factions as evil
3. Facts which reflect poorly on Makhno are left out, for example the attacks against Mennonites
4. The writing colourfully glorifies Makhno

This should be moved to Makhnovism, and probably rewritten from scratch. —Michael Z. 2006-09-09 18:21 Z

Article moved. —Michael Z. 2006-09-09 18:30 Z

I restored the NPOV and unsourced tags, which were removed without any discussion. Political writings of participants in the period are not acceptable neutral sources. Specific facts mentioned in the article need inline citations of supporting literature.  —Michael Z. 2006-10-24 20:01 Z

[edit] Merge

The article Ukrainian Revolution of 1918 is a copy-paste fork of this one, losing the entire edit history. It should be merged back into this one. —Michael Z. 2006-10-24 20:06 Z

there is nothing to merge, that article should be deleted. I will 1) blank it to a redirect, 2) prod the redirect. --Irpen 20:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

1. Ukrainian Revolution is Ukrainian Revolution. Russian Revolution is not Ukrainian Revolution. You are a Russian. Most of Russians are (little bit) patriots and will be NEVER neutral about Ukrainians, Poles or anarchists because Ukrainians (Maknovists, Petliuravists) were enemies and anarchists don't like Russian Empire or Russian Federation, the prison of peoples. Russians learned in school that Makhno wasn't revolutionary but white guardist. You can be neutral about Belgium or Denmark for example but not about Ukraine. So stop destroying articles about Ukrainian anarchists.--Maliuta 23:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

2. Makhnovism is an anarchist ideology or theory, not events or revolution or war!--Maliuta 23:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The article "Makhnovism" is a copy of "Ukrainian Revolution", not vice versa!--Maliuta 23:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Replied at talk:Ukrainian Revolution. Please discuss at one place and don't post same stuff to a multitude of pages. --Irpen 23:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
