[edit] Revolutions

Regarding this edit, I expanded the paragraph but removed Paretto and Rosenstock-Huessy - Goodwin does not mentions them in his list. I plan on expanding this article, so if you have any reference that those two wrote about revolutions, please don't hestitate to correct me.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  02:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus, thank you for telling me. Vilfredo Pareto developed a theory of "revolution" - and "evolution" as well - when discussing different types of elites ("lions", "foxes") replacing one another (Trattato di Sociologia Generale, 1913). Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy published the monograph Die europäischen Revolutionen (last edition 1987), trying to find out an order of different historical types, starting with the papal revolution and ending up with the proletarian one. Therefore, I included them in the artikel and shall try it again. - Greetings -- €pa 19:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I am familiar with Pareto's theory - but I'd rather think it classifies as a theory of social cycles, not revolutions. Rosentock's writings seem more 'revolutionary' - perhaps you could add a note about them to his aricle?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  03:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus, thank you for your message. Concerning Pareto, certainly, there are cycles; but, foxes replace lions in an evolutionary process by cunning, but lions foxes by revolutions, using force - their main "residuum" includes force. Furthermore, I shall look up Rosenstock-Huessy, trying to bring in more information, this has been a good hint. Greetings -- €pa 01:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re John Rex

Great edit on this article. I am going to unwatch it now, since I was only looking after it until someone who knew both the subject and how to edit to the Wiki style came along. Enjoy! LessHeard vanU 21:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your help on the Draußen vor der Tūr article. It is in desperate need of it. CKnapp 00:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi CKnapp, thank you for encouragement. Sooner or later I intend to return to it. -- €pa 14:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May 2007 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - May 2007
From the editor

This is the first issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Criteria for B-Class status: The assessment criteria for B-Class have been changed. {{WikiProject Germany}} template now has 5 switches, B-Class-1 through B-Class-5 that correspond to 5 easily checked criteria that an article should meet to be assessed as B-Class. The advantage of this system is that now there is a clear boundary between Start-Class and B-Class articles. Authors of articles that were assessed as Start-Class now get more direct feedback what they should improve to attain a B-Class rating.

All of our B-Class, Start-Class and Stub-Class articles now need to be checked whether they meet any of the B-Class criteria. This is a major effort, and we need your help! If you want to help, but don't know how, please post at the project talkpage.

  • Cities and municipalities task force

A task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities has been started and is looking for help.

This newsletter was delivered by Kusma using AWB to all members of WikiProject Germany. If you do not want to receive this newsletter in the future, please leave a note at the talk page of the Outreach department so we can come up with a better spamlist solution. Thank you, Kusma 12:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you -- €pa 00:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recast of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy biography

I'm looking for advice on how to proceed on the Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy article. You've shown some interest in the past. The article has become less of a encyclopedia-style biography and more of a series of book reports. I encourage you to review my proposal on how to proceed and leave your suggestions. HopsonRoad 12:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi HopsonRoad, the German version (de:Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy) has gone through a thorough re-examination, and I guess, it is rather fine, now. Shouldn't one try to follow these lines? I shall turn to him, as soon as I can. Truly, €pa 00:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry that I missed your comment here, €pa. In the process of re-casting the article, I did look at de:Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, but haven't yet drawn on it significantly, drawing as I did on the ERH Society/Argo Books biographies. At a later time, I may have the ambition to cross-compare. In the meantime, you're welcome to do so. Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 02:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks and good luck for your formidable contributions. -- €pa (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, €pa:

I notice you undid my reassessment of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy's importance on the WikiProject Dartmouth College importance scale. I've extensively explained why I made that edit over at User talk:HopsonRoad#Re: Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy. Basically, importance rankings are to be used internally within each WikiProject, and have no bearing on the article's content or anything.

Since that reassessment was part of a much larger ranking effort in WikiProject Dartmouth College, I hope you don't mind if I revert it to keep the system's rankings consistent. Dylan (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear €pa, I can add that, if you look at the ranking of other notables at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Dartmouth College articles by quality log, e.g. C. Everett Koop, you'll see that they receive the same rank. Sincerely,--User:HopsonRoad 16:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, HopsonRoad, thank you for explaining; your considerations are much deeper than mine. Truly €pa (talk) 23:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Queis

A tag has been placed on Queis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. BrucePodger (talk) 01:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me; my intent was to speed up the writing of an article on the river. -- €pa (talk) 01:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
