[edit] spelling out dates
I think it is plain that spelling out the months in dates will be clearer to most readers. Many people will read 1842-02-09 as 1842, 02-09, which is ambiguous. Furthermore, the ISO convention is not widely used, so at the very least one would need a link to an article explaining it. AxelBoldt

[edit] Betrayal
I think we should include somewhere in this article that he betrayed his country and his class, which, of course, he did. (Couter-revolutionary 19:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC))
- That's your opinion, not a verifiable fact. Mike Dillon 21:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
But as a country which, at this stage, was a monarchy he was betraying it in bringing about anorchism, also he is obviously betraying a class which was totally opposed to these beliefs. (Couter-revolutionary 01:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC))
- No, he was just attacking his own status. That's not "betrayal". If I were a member of the government and attacked its current practices, that's not betrayal. Betrayal is like someone like Wang Jingwei. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 13:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

- This is the most rediculous discussion post i've ever read. Congrats, counter-revolutionary:)
[edit] Propaganda of the Deed
Even if we dont post it on the main page, could a kroptkin scholar please direct me to his works dealing with the propaganda of the deed? Freddieresearch 19:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Britannica
What kind of articles did he write for Britannica? Have they been used as a source for Wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.20.17.84 (talk • contribs) 10:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC).
- I believe he wrote the article on anarchism, maybe others; the 1911 Britannica -- which had essays by other luminaries such as Freud -- is public domain and was used as source material for Wikipedia. --lquilter 01:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kropotkin's Will
Not quite certain where to put this, but it is of relevance:
I was just checking something in The Times on microfilm and, on 12 October 1921, page 1, there is an advertisement by a London based firm of solicitors seeking the whereabouts of Kropotkin's will, written in 1913.

[edit] Timeline
The Spartakus site at [[1]] has Kropotkin being in Brighton 1912-1917 (the Historical Directory site gives the Brighton address), whence he went to Russia after the Revolution.
I have partially updated the timeline - more research needs to be done. Jackiespeel 18:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
