[edit] Copyvio
A real gem. But suspected copied from somewhere. Way too smooth fromm the very beginning. `'юзырь:mikka 16:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- A "real gem"? I like the concept behind the article, but the wording seems unencyclopedic, and poorly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.205.42 (talk • contribs) 11:23, 2 August 2007
- Yes it is a real gem: it is a very important part of the Soviet history, grossly overlooked in wikipedia. Now that it is linked from various articles, people will eventually improve it. It is very easy to badmouth something: much more work requires to do something useful. `'Míkka 22:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted piece
The folowing paragraph is removed as bearing little relevance to the topic.
- Eliminating illiteracy, introducing native languages to the education system, and creating a native proletariat were the other significant goals to be achieved in order to accomplish a “modern socialist state.” The elimination of illiteracy was among the most successful policies, especially in the underdeveloped nations of Central Asia. Despite the lack of adequate materials and specialists for education, illiteracy rates fell dramatically. Another education-related problem was the introduction of native languages; some native languages did not even have a written source or alphabet. In some regions people resisted the use of their mother tongue as the official language. In some cases native languages had several dialects. Despite these obstacles education was the bright side of the revolution. Developing a proletariat in every national community was also an inalienable goal of the revolution. This was also successful for a period. The number of native proletariat rose observably in the 1920s and 1930s, but this development was not uniform across all regions. In Slavic regions, Georgia and Armenia the number of native workers were actuallly rising, but in Central Asia, the mass movement of Russian workers to the industrial capitals of this region was a great factor.
I put in into talk page as a reminder for use in some future articles about national minorities in the Soviet Union. `'Míkka 22:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- This is in fact central to the article. I have restored the section. -- Petri Krohn 01:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Education is irrelevant to the topic of the title, which is "national delimitation", and it has no place here, however central it is to this original essay. If you disagree, then please (a) explain how education is related to delimitation using references to reliable sources and (b) please provide sources to the claims made in this paragraph `'Míkka 02:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
