[edit] Communist Party USA

Some advice about Communist Party USA. I agree, TDC is putting POV into the article. But the way to stop him is to look at each of his citations through books.google.com, and point out in Talk that the citations do not say what TDC claims. Just search for his terms in the relevant books on books.google.com, and then make a comment in Talk. Then edit. Abe Froman 21:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I got the ball rolling. [1] Abe Froman 22:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for helping to expose the dubious nature of the charges made against the CPUSA! Cmrdm 22:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
See the latest Talk and chime in. [2] I do not think TDC will allow information from his own sources to appear in the article, if it disagrees with his preconceived views. Abe Froman 14:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stalin Society

"The society publishes essays on its website denying any of the crimes of Stalin and the Stalinist regime including the Katyn Massacre [2] the Ukrainian Famine (Holodomor) [3] and the Stalinist show trials [4] which they variously blame on Germans, dismiss as propaganda, and describe as fair process."

Please stop removing the above paragraph from the article in question, under the guise of it being nNPOV. This is not an NPOV issue. It is not nNPOV because you do not like what it says. The paragraph is fully-referenced to the Society's own website, which confirms the paragraphs contents explicitly. I'm not quite sure what grounds you have to dispute it. If you disagree with the wording (for instance, the absence of alleged before "crimes of Stalin"), that can be discussed, but stop blanking the paragraph.86.0.203.120 21:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The paragraph is written from a hostile POV. However, even rewriting the paragraph from a NPOV would not add anything to this wiki article, as it would simply be listing links to documents that appear on the organization's website (and a link to the Stalin Society's website is already provided in this wiki article). Some of the documents in question originally appeared in other publications (i.e. various communist newspapers/journals), and were simply reposted on the Stalin Society's website. Finally, I see no point in stating the obvious - that there are pro-Stalin articles on a pro-Stalin website. It would be redundant, and debating the history of Stalin is not appropriate for this article (there is already a Joseph Stalin article). This is why I think the paragraph should just be cut out entirely. Cmrdm 05:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of parties

Thanks for responding, if only bcz it is reassuring to see that someone else has a continuing interest. I wanted to just respond here to make contact, without having to discuss as i'd end up doing on the talk page. Instead, just for now, thanks and good nite.
