[edit] Santiago Carrillo

... Jasra 23:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Answered at your Talk page

[edit] References

I have looked at es:Victimas de la guerra civil, unfortunately my Spanish is at a very very basic level (if any). I have only figure out that there is a controversy about the article and the article needs improvement, the word obsoleta was used. Actually I haven't seen a source confirming that Carrillo did anything to prevent violence, but it is true that most sources are in Spanish. The information I put says that Carrillo was granted an honorary doctorate and that there were protests. The text is clearly against Carrillo, but these two facts are (I believe) correct, no matter if the rest is biased.

Yes, both were true.

Just wondering about his knowledge of the events, I have read that he said that one should not go back to the events taking place 70 years ago. If he was innocent - he would have denied his participation in crimes (or maybe he made some statement?).

He *has* denied his participation, many times in the last 50 years. The "not go back to the Civil War events" is a common theme in Spain. After the Constitutional restoration in 1978, civiliced people of almost every ideology has taken an agreement not to revive misdoings of that times, since both fronts were guilty of so many wrongs.

English or Polish sources are quite limited and often biased in either way. For example in Poland during communism the only version was of course - "forces of progress vs fascism". On the other hand among anti-communist opposition the most common version was: "democracy vs dictatorship", although later on democracy was overtaken by stalinism - so later conflict was "communism vs fascism" or the "conflict of two evils". The transition from dictatorship to democracy was, by some politicians seen as the model for Polish transition from communism to democracy. Of course, looking at the crimes of communism and leftist ideology one cannot overlook the crimes committed by the Republican side. Some authors show that the crimes (especially against the Catholic Church) were committed at the very beginning of the Republic. These people say that Franco had to uprise against the Republic to save Spain from "communist barbarians". In many cases Franco is idealized and his crimes are diminished or the responsibility for the crimes it put to someone else. Of course, probably most people in Poland know nothing about the Spanish Civil War at all.

My impression about the attitude in Spain was that there was a thin balance between the supporters of both sides. Both sides were perceived as having their reasons. Nowadays this balance seems to collapse. On one hand the monuments of general Franco are being removed, on the other people like Carrillo are honoured. In case of court trial one has to be sure that someone is guilty. In case of a honorary doctorate one has to be sure someone is innocent.

[edit] Music in Civilization IV

Hi. I went through the article, but noticed no particular problems with it. If this was an old tag, I'd just say "no reason apparent" and remove it, but as it is, can you say what seems to be a problem and how we should go about fixing it?

For future use, tagging tends to work better when the specific problems are mentioned on the talk page or even just the edit summary. This is especially true of non-obvious tags, such as wikify - it's a generic "Fix it!", and with nothing else to go on, other editors are well within their rights to answer "Fix what?". That's my take, anyway. Cheers, Kizor 19:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal reporting

I arrived to this page through an automatic arv tool, and now see that it's not the proper way to report suspicious vandalism. What is the correct procedure when detecting a probable ongoing vandal?

You can report obvious and persistent vandals at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, where you had posted your comment. Make sure you follow the form instructions. Before posting there, a final warning in an escalating series should have been posted to the user's talk page (for example {{Uw-vandal4}}, {{Uw-spam4}} or {{Uw-speedy4}}), and the user must have vandalized within the last few hours, including after the final warning was given him or her. Various warning templates can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. Your block request is unlikely to be acted upon unless you follow these steps. Cases that are not simple vandalism can be reported at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents. Of course, in conjunction with warning against and reporting vandalism, you have the ability, mandate and are encouraged to revert all instances of vandalism you find yourself. If you have further questions, please don't post them on the page itself; instead, use the AIV talk page, or you can drop me a line on my talk page. GlassCobra 23:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Graphical user interface

Hi there. When reverting vandalism, please check for several consecutive edits from the same user. You only caught one of the pair on this page earlier today. I heartily recommend Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Twinkle to help deal with vandals ... richi 00:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Por revisar mi contribución en el artículo sobre la historia de los GUI, el par de apartados dedicados al MS-DOS. Quizá pueda pasar algún día de en-2 a en-3...Ricardo Cancho Niemietz (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mouse

I rolled back most or all of your mouse (computing) edits of today. It does not seem reasonable that a person new to a long-established article should undertake such wholesale rerrangement and splitting without so much as a talk comment. Personally, I didn't care the direction you were going. The talk page is a good place to try out your ideas next. Dicklyon (talk) 05:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Preview?

Consider using "Show preview". I see seven edits in the course of seven minutes to Archy, which could have been one edit had you used "Show preview". RussNelson (talk) 16:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

No they couldn't, because Show preview doesn't show changes in references when editing a single section (which I was doing). Anyway, do you have a prejudice about several edits in a row? Why should one prefer avoiding them, versus having several previews? Diego (talk) 22:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
