[edit] Socialismo

• Delete we already have a Socialism article that deals with this directly. The article is also essentially a fork article, it solely refers to Cuba for some reason. I would also venture to say that part of the reason for its existance is to promote the following image which features the user who created and is the sole contributor to the article: Image:CubaSocialismo.jpg.

• Redirect to Revolutionary Socialism or to Communist Party of Cuba--TBCTaLk?!? 03:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment shouldn't it be redirected to Socialism?--Jersey Devil 03:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Socialismo seems to refer to revolutionary socialism more than just socialism in general.--TBCTaLk?!? 03:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't see any real content in this page to merge to be honest.--Zleitzen 03:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Note that redirects are different than merges. See WP:REDIRECT and WP:MERGE for more info.--TBCTaLk?!? 03:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
        • Sorry I was in an edit conflict and wrongly read merge in my haste! Redirect to Socialism as per the Spanish wikipedia page Socialismo--Zleitzen 03:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
          • Socialismo does not "refer" to Revolutionary Socialism. It is just the Spanish translation for "Socialism".--Jersey Devil 03:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Socialismo is just Socialism, no more no less. And the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution page needs to lose that pic as well. It's a serious subject dealing with a collective accused of harrassment and many beatings. Unfortunatley the pic doesn't really help. --Zleitzen 03:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Propaganda page for a neologism. Somerset219 04:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and Restore "Sociolismo" The creation of the "Socialismo" page was my mistake, and I haven't fixed it yet. The original entry was "Sociolismo" and I thought it was a misspelling, but it's not. The page explains it. The photo will remain, and I will photoshop it so it is just of the billboard. The CDR are a nasty bunch, but the billboard DOES add value because it's an example of their propaganda. --DavidShankBone 04:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if this sounds rude, it's not meant to be, but if you could just photoshop yourself out of it then I'm fine for the CDR page! But the content of a "Sociolismo" page would need to be sourced.--Zleitzen 05:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• What DavidShankBone said. "sociolismo" appears in connection with subverting allocation policies in this document supposedly translated by CANF in 1988. Gazpacho 05:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I've written a short draft on the talk page of the "socialismo" article for "Sociolismo" - using a reliable source. Thanks David, you've actually highlighted an article that can be expanded and slotted into the Economy of Cuba series.--Zleitzen 05:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

comment but...but...the billboard spells it with the letter A!!! Bustter 12:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Socialismo and Sociolismo are two totally things, sociolismo in Cuba means a form of cronyism. The article should be changed to Sociolismo with no pic, the pic is referring to Socialismo which is socialism.--Zleitzen 13:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the whole "SociAlismo" page was a mistake I created--I won't be so hasty in the future to tear down pages, and for that I apologize. If anyone wants me to fix it back to Sociolismo, then I am happy to do so. The billboard would obviously no be relevant to "sociOlismo." But I think discussion on whether to delete SociAlismo could end, because I admit it was created in error. I can do it, but I'd rather a more experienced person do it so that it is done right. I can research the SociOlismo article some and source it. --DavidShankBone 18:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
