[edit] National socialist japanese workers and welfare party

Why not leave a redirect at National socialist japanese workers and welfare party, instead of deleting it? Happy wikipedia editing :). Thue | talk 17:30, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Your insticts are sound

re: Cleanup of Cordless Iron This is a joke article... just enough mumbo jumbo to seem to say something. The clincher - the end discussion talking about thermal mass. E=mC^2 the enegy statement about mass... an Iron needs to have a lot of mass, and therefore is an energy hog. There may be 'cordless Irons', but they went out with the coal stove and top hats. So have an 'Attaboy'. Fabartus 01:10, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] John Hargrave

Great work on John Hargrave! It is nice to have that gap filled. Ground Zero 13:56, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Cheers. It's been on my to-do list for a while. Keresaspa 11:03, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of fascist movements by country

Hi, I'm working on putting together as comprehensive a list as I can of fascist organizations and would love to have your input. Version 1.0 is up now; version 2.0 is about half-done and will be completely reformatted. Version 2.0 is up. Stlemur 01:38, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Fine work. I think it stands very well as you have done. Keresaspa 15:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about breaking that link. I was in the middle of doing a copyedit when you fixed that, and I overlooked it when reviewing the changes. I continue to enjoy your work. Regards, Ground Zero | t 14:19, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem. I've done things like that myself plenty of time. Keresaspa 14:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] D'arcy

Dear Keresaspa,

                 I don't know why you insist that Françoise Dior had a "considerable fortune;" she and the rest of the Dior family inherited absolutely nothing on the death of Christian Dior.  The little cash she did own came from her grandmother.
                 Secondly, Martin Webster came to Paris on the scrounge.  It was Mirleau who gave him the money, not Françoise.
                 Finally, Savitri Devi stunk!  She carried her own concentrated essence of cats' piss about on her clothes and what I wrote about the garlic is no joke.  Ask anyone who ever met her.  As to Jordan giving her up to the police, she wasn't the only one he handed over that day.  They wanted "all the foreigners present."
                 She was refused entry to Jersey because dressed in her ragged grey coat with eleven battered suitcases and two old iron typewriters, she stood out amongst the crowd of holidaymakers going over on a day trip.
                 Pity all this destroys a few myths.

                 à bientôt,        Darcy.


Check the history of the article as most of the points you mentioned have nothing to do with me. I merely started the article and added in a few bits I had read in books. The bulk of what is written is down to anonymous user and as I stated in one of my updates I don't claim to vouch for much of what is written. In all, I claim no ownership or indisputable accuracy over this article so by all means go ahead and change what is wrong with it.

All the best

Keresaspa

[edit] D'arcy

OK, I see the problem. All the same, send me your e-mail address and I'll send you back something which might help out with your PhD but I won't publish it on the web. Do what you like with it yourself. ragnar.darcy@tiscali.fr

à bientôt

Darcy.

[edit] D'arcy

Dear Keresaspa,

I've just made a small change to the page of Christion Dior, not that I suppose it will remain for long, and would like you to "Wikify" it for me if you'd be so kind. I'm far too old for this kind of stuff, on top of that, I'd forgotten to log in. It might help to put an end once and for all to the idiotic myth that Françoise inherited all his cash simply because they had the same name. Someone somewhere must have jumped to this conclusion, someone else copied it, someone else copied that in turn and seeing the first version believed it must all be true. Thanks in advance,

Ragnar.

[edit] AfD voting

Hi, you posted the comment on AFD:

Previously deleted then recreated. Speedy? Keresaspa 13:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

But you did it on the AFD log page and not the AFD nomination page, so it's unclear as to which AFD it refers to. I took the liberty of removing from the AFD log page. You should add it to the correct location. Regards, --howcheng [ talk • contribs • web ] 19:51, 27 October 2005 (UTC)


I was refering to Middlesbrough Soccability Football Club which was voted for deletion but has now made a come back. I'm pretty new to AFD nomination (my first one actually) so apologies for the snafu. Keresaspa 13:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of results of the England national rugby league team

Hi Keresaspa,

This is just a petition for you to reconsider your vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of results of the England national rugby league team.

While it would be a good thing if all the analysis that was discussed were done, frankly, I can't see that it ever will be.

Leaving this list in place is an open invitation for lots of other analysis free lists of every sporting result known to mankind.

Do we really need to record

  • England A def. Russia 98-4 (24 October 2004)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for creating Canadian Association for Free Expression. Excellent article. Ground Zero | t 18:42, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


No problem, and thanks for putting the language into something more North American-friendly as I did it in not so suitable British English. Keresaspa 14:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Ireland Forum

Thanks. It is only a little article though, and hopefully people will flesh it out. I was doing some reading of the actual proceedings of the Forum, starting from the begining, and found it a combination of horrifying and hilarious. Morwen - Talk 16:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keresaspa

Hi, you say your name is from Persian Mythology, can you tell me a little about this? thanks! --User:Khashayar Karimi 02:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I must admit I'm no expert on the matter but from what I know he is mentioned in Zoroastrianism as the one who will kill the dragon Azhi Dahaki at the end of the world as well as the water demon Gandarewa. He turns up in the Avesta a few times and is connected to the tradition of temple fire [1]. Also, I just liked the sound of the name when I first heard it and thought it would be good as a net name :-) Keresaspa 14:24, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Based on what I've seen from you on AfD, I think that you might have something to add to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cart00ney. I'd appreciate you weighing in on the matter in either direction. Savidan 19:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the tip. I voted delete as I'm so sick of this sort of gibberish. The more we get rid of the better. Keresaspa 14:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Association for Liberal Thinking

Few things that happen here gladden my heart more than the rescue of an article from AfD. Good job. - Smerdis of Tlön 20:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I thank you. It's definitely one I'm glad to see still with us. :-) Keresaspa 13:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for starting this article (as per my request I think..), it's a nice start, you've saved me a job Dick G 11:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Please update your recent vote to the Maltese fascist party from accept to your new decision. Maltesedog 16:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iranian National Socialist Party

This doesn't seem to be an official political party anywhere. Most of the claims in the article are also unsourced (and there's no way to verify them). Their website is also nothing but a private Geocities website almost anyone can create. I was going to nominate this for deletion, but I thought I check with you first. What do you think? AucamanTalk 16:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I've changed it to a redirect to Sumka who have a similar name in English and are much better known. If this other group eventually proves to be more than just a couple of guys it can always be restored so there's probably no need for a deletion listing. Keresaspa 16:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


If you don't mind we can just keep the discussion here. The redirect looks good to me. Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at this Sumka, but at first glance it appears to be more of a hate group. Coming from their mission statement: "The Iranian Nazi Party (SUMKA) members can be distinguished by their character of Arab and Muslim Hating. We are relentless enemies of Arabs and Muslims. We are also hate Jews . we are Extremely Anti-Arab." Their official title (as it appears on the blog) reads thusly (in Persian): "Iran National-Socialist Workers Party: Enmity with Iran and Iranians is hidden in the character of every foreigner." I'll take a look at this and update you with more information (but not anytime soon). I'll like to thank you for your prompt reply. AucamanTalk 17:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Independence Party

I've recently moved an article that you created, on the National Indepedence Party, to National Independence Party (United Kingdom) to allow for disambiguation for parties with the same name. Bastin 16:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Nice work. Thanks for letting me know. Keresaspa 16:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

==Ian Anderson (former NF Chairman & sometime Daily Mail columnist under pseuds!)

How do! Thought I oughta let you know there's been some badly done editing on this page from an anonymous user - I reverted it back to your last edit of 1/8/2006. It looked like it had been copied straight out of "Searchlight" or some "Anti-Nazi League" publication overegging the cake (eg. the old "Strasserite split" storyline that has been doing the rounds since Martin Walker's innocent moot in the Guardian back in the 1970s, & been recycled that those that ought to know better more times than a milk bottle. What's the betting that if we wait long enough, someone will put in the "well oiled Nazi machine" routine that's been attributed from everyone from Martin Webster to Lord Voldemort?

[edit] Good catch

Here. Sorry about that. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 14:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Hey, no problem whatsoever. I didn't know about the use of the term National political association in Mexican politics (as you can probably guess I'm no expert on Mexico) so well done for adding that in. Keresaspa 14:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Right wing extremism

Just thought I'd let you know how much I enjoy your articles on the subject. I'm also a graduate in Politics (from the early 70s though). In the late 70s I started a book on the history of the NF, but gave up when I found out Martin Walker from the Guardian was working full time on the same! Later, as part of a course on Political Education, I was able to use a lot of the research for a thesis on the NF and the 1974 elections. Since being on Wikipedia, I have added to a lot of articles around the general theme, especially election performance of the NF and BNP.

Keep up the good work. Emeraude 15:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

  • I've noticed a lot of your stuff appearing in articles recently and it's all good stuff, especially the election date. I know it was a long time ago but I don't suppose you still have any of your work from the 70s still to hand? I know it's probably long gone but if you still have I would be very interested to see it. All the best Keresaspa 16:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Excuse delay in replying - been on holiday. About all that I have is the thesis on the 1974 elections, written in 1982. Though originally typed, I used a DTP package to preserve it a few years ago. You're welcome to a copy if you wish - I could probably convert it to Word format. Emeraude 18:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
    • That would be good, thanks. I'm on hotmail.com, same user name as here. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Keresaspa 15:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Britons v. Britons Publishing Society

Are you certain these two were identical?

Or was the latter merely publishing arm of the former?
I do not deny the need to MERGE - I just would like, at the very least, an explanation of the two dofferent expressions.
Regards to You, Dear Fellow/Fella Wikipedian, Ludvikus 20:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • From what I can gather from what I've read the Britons was more of a pressure group that also functioned as a publisher but the activism side ground to something of a halt when Henry Hamilton Beamish emigrated. I felt a merger was probably the best as the overlap was too great to justify two articles. Still, tinker and add away to it as this is outside my usual time period so I'm not as knowledgable about it as the post-War stuff. Keresaspa 15:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Protocols of Zion & Casimir Pilenas

Just read your WP Homepage. Good luck to you on your Ph. D. studies.

I think we may here of each other more. I have completed my studies.
Now I am, in Manhattan, with access to all the wonderful {{Archives]].
Only on nthis month have I discovered some fascinating stuff - that might interest you, as a historian and scholar on EXTREMISM. Apparently, a.k.a. Casimir Palmer was a "spotter for you Brits. I'm an American - so do not exactly know what a "spotter" means, yet.
But, anyway, Casimir got Lenin incarcerated in Canada during the World War.
I have now found that John Higham was wrong when he accused him of trying to "extort" $50,000 from the American Jewish Committee in 1919. He actually had an ongoing amicable correspondence with the officers of the AJC, persistently providing the agency with information on antisemitism, and he tried to get his material published with the assistance of the AJC.
If you are at all specifically familiar with the Protocols of Zion you should find this to be a fascinating story. He was upset at one point for being scooped by another reporter--I often forget his unusual name--something like Hapgood--he worked for a Hearst paper.
Anyway, the Protocols of Zion were scooped by the British Fascists--and I find, supprisingly, that not much is yet known about exactly who and how the notorious publications occurred.
For example, I have not been successful in obtaining the obituaries of Victor E. Marsden, who died on October 28, 1920. I believe he was a postumous "front" for The Britons . What I mean by this is that they merely used his name on their publication of these "Protocols." We know, for example, that it was George Shanks who first translated these for Eyre & Spottiswoode Ltd. Now scholars say that in 1921 the Victor E. Marsden translation had been published, by The Brits as I recollected. However, an examination of the British Library online catalog shows that the earliest, dated, imprint held by the Library bears the date of 19922--and it is an imprint by the Britons Publishing Society. So you can imagine--as a historian--why I want to know about these two, distinct or different styled organizations. For quite a while know, like Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, I've been suspecting that Victor E. Marsden is a scapegoat of the successor organization(s) of The Britons.
  • Can you shed some unpublished light these issues?
Looking forward to your response, I am Wikipedian Ludvikus 21:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I dont know a lot about this as the pre-war stuff is not really me forte. I have heard a couple of the arguments you mention before but I'm afraid I can't shed much light on the issue. Sorry about that, but let me know if you come up with anything more from archives. Keresaspa 15:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nationalist Front

Hi Keresaspa,

I noticed you recently created the article about Nationalist Front. I just wanted to let you know that you can announce any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. That way other users interested in the topic can see them and might improve them.

You may also be interested in the WikiProject Germany.

Thanks,

  • Thanks for the tip as I'm planning a few of these sort of articles over the coming weeks and would like to open them to a wider scope of editing. I'll make sure to add them when I get round to them. Keresaspa 14:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sharon Ebanks

I hadn't noticed that you had just created the article. I probably would have waited for a while. I continue to enjoy your articles. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 06:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • No problem at all. I was in a hurry when I wrote it so the language was a bit garbled in places. Nice job straightening it out, thanks. Keresaspa 15:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Worch/Hansabande

Hi Keresaspa,

I'm impressed by a lot of your edits relating to ring-wing extremism in Germany. I was wondering if you have any sources related to the Hansabande. I translated the article about Christian Worch from the German-language Wikipedia, but now the statement "They [Michael Kühnen, Christian Worch, and the rest of the Hansabande] defaced Jewish cemeteries, assaulted leftists and foreigners." has been marked with {{fact}} tag. I'm absolutely sure I've read that fact in some book, but I can't find it. Could you help me source that fact?--Carabinieri 00:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I did find two German-language internet sources from left-wing organizations: [2] and [3]. Do you think that's enough?--Carabinieri 00:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Hi Carabinieri,

The two sites you have there look good enough to me, at least to fulfil the need for references for the time being. I'll have a scout around to try to get a print reference but it shouldn't be too difficult to find as the incident was reasonably well reported. Thanks for bringing this to my attention - I reckon the German extreme right is a little underdone on here and the more of us working to improve it the better. Keresaspa 14:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NF and BNP tables

I see you're still updating details on the election results pages I created for the NF and BNP - well done. And I like the way you have converted my efforts into wikitables - they certainly look much better, with one exception. I'd originally done the tables as as I did for two reasons: firstly, every time I tried to create a wikitable the PC froze (!) and, secondly, it was the only way I could get figures to line up decimally (you know, with the hundreds, tens and units in columns like I was taught at school nearly 50 years ago!). I always prefer that with columns of figures. The answer to this question is probably "No", but is there any way at all to this in a wikitable? Emeraude 20:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Good question. I'm only starting to get the hang of these wikitables myself so I'm not sure. I've seen it the way you describe on a couple of places but still haven't worked out how they manage it. I'll keep trying anyway and hopefully I'll eventually work it out, though knowing me and computers I wouldn't hold your breath! Keresaspa 14:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
