== On ethnicities ==

Hi. Apologies, I meant to give a heads up on some of the recent edits. Now categorizing historical figures by ethnicity on Wikipedia is always complex, because present-day understandings of ethnicity and nationality don't necessarily match the way those identities were construed at the time. For example, people living in the lands that today constitute the Republic of Lithuania weren't necessarily Lithuanians - in Vilna/Vilnius Poles and Jews outnumbered Lithuanians. The notion that [[Grigory Sokolnikov]] would be 'Ukrainian-Jewish' is also dubious, from what I can gather the categorization is based on applying the label 'Ukrainian Jews' to Jews that lived in areas that constitute present-day Ukraine. The label 'Russian-Jewish' is a political minefield, as implying that those categories would be mutually exclusive is contested. And so forth. Ideally such a categorization scheme would need a reliable, independent source. --[[User:Soman|Soman]] ([[User talk:Soman|talk]]) 21:55, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Soman}} I understand what you mean. The reason why I added the ethnicity column is that this was of scholarly interest when foreign observers analysed the Central Committee/Secretariat/Politburo make-up. It also showcases Russian-Ukrainian dominance of the Soviet political scene. 
:I do, however, concur with you. Ethnicities, especially for the early CCs, is hard to find and have their own peculiar meaning in contrast to the ethnic categories in let say the 1960s.--[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 07:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

== Politburo member timeline ==

Busy creating a timeline of members for the [[Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] [[User:SuperWIKI/sandbox2#Timeline|here]]. Good work on revamping the Politburo pages! Having said that, could I ask for your help in checking that the dates in the timeline are correct, and other improvements like simplifying, etc, where possible? Thanks!

::Absolutely! I'm taking a significant break from it because there's so many of them? Finishing off the last few in particular. [[User:SuperWIKI|SuperWIKI]] ([[User talk:SuperWIKI|talk]]) 07:29, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
:::{{replyto|SuperWIKI}} If I was you I would remove mentions of "Party leader", "head of state" and "Premier". Party leader is not really the correct term, and head of state and premier were not that important (what was important was Politburo membership). I would also change "Full member" to just "Member" and "Candidate Members" to "Candidates". I would also remove "military" and "security" background. For instance was Andropov a security man? He became one, but wasn't one at the beginning. In fact he was a civilian head of the KGB. Same goes for the majority of them. Military men too.. Was Voroshilov military? In some sense yes and in some sense no.

:::I would simplify the timeline since it would both make it easier for the reader but also convey the information as factually as possible. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 10:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

My job is not to concern myself with what you think is or isn't the "proper" history — my job is to ensure that Wikipedia ''process'' is followed.

If you think a page is incorrectly titled and needs to be renamed, you may certainly ''propose'' a renaming through the [[WP:RM|requested moves]] ''process'', but you are ''not'' entitled to just arbitrarily move the page from its longstanding title of many years yourself without discussion to establish a consensus that renaming is actually warranted. And if you think a ''category'' is incorrectly titled and needs to be renamed, you may ''propose'' a renaming through the [[WP:CFR|categories for renaming]] ''process'', but you are ''not'' entitled to just arbitrarily create new categories yourself, and empty out the existing ones by ''replacing'' them with your new ones. If there's a problem, you follow Wikipedia's ''process'' for fixing the problem, because if you don't follow the correct process you're creating ''other'' problems that you hadn't considered, such as emptying out categories and leaving pages filed in categories that don't exist. 

So, again, if there's a problem with the names of our articles or categories, you may follow the ''processes'' that are in place for getting them renamed; you may ''not'' just arbitrarily go in and mess around with everything yourself, and if I ''ever'' see another redlinked category on the cleanup list of redlinked categories that was put there by ''you'', I'll be reporting you to [[WP:ANI]] for being [[WP:DISRUPT|disruptive]]. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 13:50, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
:Moving the article ''back'' to its existing title after somebody else moved the article ''away'' from its existing title without following the rules is not the same thing, so there's no rule that just because ''you'' were supposed to follow a process you didn't follow before you were allowed to move the article in the first place means that ''I'' had to follow the same process before I was allowed to put the article back where it was originally. So if you think you're gotcha-ing me, you're not.
:So, again, you're welcome to follow the proper processes to ''propose'' moves for ''discussion'', but you may not just move content yourself without discussing it, and I will be going to ANI if you give me even one further word of clapback about this. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 15:14, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

:::I'm not failing to get anything, because you're not telling me anything I'm ''supposed'' to understand any differently than I do. You can't just discuss a major series of page moves and category name changes with ''one'' person — you have to propose them for a proper ''discussion'' through the [[WP:RM|requested moves]] and [[WP:CFR|categories for renaming]] ''processes''. I don't give a flying honk what you did or didn't discuss with one person on their own personal user talk page: you ''didn't'' list the pages for proper ''discussion'' through the established ''processes'' for getting content renamed, which is the thing you have to do. 
:::And you're the one ''breaking'' stuff: you're emptying out existing categories without discussion, you're leaving a trail of redlinked categories behind you that aren't allowed to be on pages, and you're moving pages that rightly or wrongly have been at their current titles for ''years'' and thus require ''discussion'' about whether renaming is warranted or not. 
:::'''Follow the proper processes, and ''leave me the hell alone'''''. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 16:17, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
::::I said there are ''processes'' you can follow to get content renamed if it needs renaming. But doing it the way you're doing it, you're ''breaking'' things — emptying out existing categories out of process, leaving a trail of redlinked categories that don't exist to have articles in them behind you, and on and so forth — that can't be left broken. So by doing it the way you're doing it instead of through the proper process, you're ''making a mess'' that other people have to ''fix''. Which is precisely why we have ''processes'' for getting content renamed if it needs to be renamed, so that stuff ''doesn't get broken''.

::::{{ping|Bearcat}} I find it incredible that you started an argument, and a whole process no one needed, because of a stupid rule and you can't seem to admit that you were wrong. You've failed in every message you've posted here to be collaborative and helpful.

You're mistake, you're uncollaborative behaviour. And you know what the worst thing is?

[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 16:46, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::I didn't create a problem. '''You''' created a problem, by moving content out of process which had the result of ''breaking stuff'' — and if stuff is broken, then ''somebody'' has to fix it. You're not allowed to empty out existing categories without discussion, and you're not allowed to leave a trail of redlinked categories behind you, and if you do those things somebody has to ''fix'' them.
:::::There's a ''reason'' that we have ''processes'' for getting pages and categories renamed if they need to be renamed — because you can ''break'' stuff if the process isn't done ''correctly''. Categories don't just exist in isolation, but are part of a relational tree with parent and child categories that can be impacted if you aren't careful, and edit histories that get broken by the change because you used the wrong method to rename the category, and you can sometimes even break ''templates'' or ''maintenance'' tools that were depending on the old category — so you ''do not'' rename a category by just creating a new one and manually moving all the pages out of the old one, because there are a lot of other moving parts that also have to be taken into account. So you rename a category by listing it for the [[WP:CFR|categories for renaming]] ''process'', so that all the moving parts get dealt with, and there aren't old empty categories and broken templates and things left sitting on the floor. 
:::::So whatever this is, it isn't me failing to be collaborative. You caused a problem that had to be fixed, and then you started flinging shit at my head when I explained that we have ''processes'' in place for doing what you're trying to do, and I'm somehow the bad guy here?

::You are, once again, ''never'' allowed to file ''anything'' in a redlinked category that does not exist to have things filed in it — so if you leave content filed in redlinked categories, then somebody has to make the redlinked categories ''go away'', because the redlinked categories ''can't be there''. And this also goes for your user sandbox page, by the way. It cannot be filed in redlinked categories that do not exist, and it cannot be mixed with articles in categories that do exist.

==Categories==
Hello, [[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]],

You seem to be creating a lot of categories that then need to be deleted. So, in trying to improve the project, you are creating work for other editors, in this case, admins, to clean up after you. Please do not just create categories that you think you might want only to later change your mind. Or create categories that you later decide should have a different page title. Be thoughtful and intentional in your page creation. Only create categories that will fit into the existing Wikipedia category structure. 

This behavior has happened with other editors in the past and it can lead to a topic ban from working with or creating categories. So, please be a productive and conscientious content creator and do not create pages that need to be deleted minutes later. Thank you. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 02:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

You made some changes to this template a short time ago but it looks like the groups at the end were incorrectly numbered.  I changed the numbers – please check that I did so correctly.  This template is used on several hundred pages, and the error showed up on all of them.

== Category problems ==

First issue: please don't remove categories like you did at [[League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina]]/[[League of Communists of Croatia|Croatia]]/[[League of Communists of Kosovo|Kosovo]]/[[League of Communists of Macedonia|Macedonia]]/[[League of Communists of Montenegro|Montenegro]]/[[League of Communists of Serbia|Serbia]]/[[League of Communists of Slovenia|Slovenia]]/[[League of Communists of Vojvodina|Vojvodina]] and whereever else. I presume you did it because you saw them redundant with categorization of their own categories, but that is not a practice followed on Wikipedia. Both articles and their own categories should be appropriately categorized to same categories, when both exist.

Second issue: [[WP:SMALLCAT]]. You seem to have created a ton of one-page and one-subcategory categories and all this does is make navigation slower and less convenient. I think you should slow down with that and discuss with other editors whether this is something Wikipedia wants.

Your non-category contributions seem great on first glance, though. Please consider these remarks and have a good day! –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 00:23, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Vipz}} Thanks, I learnt something new about categorisation today! :) While I knew I created some of these categories early, I intend to create articles on every Central Committee term of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (and its republican and autonomous provincial branches). But I agree, I was a tad early, but when I first began I thought I could at least create the basic structure. I am surprised how badly the articles about the League of Communists are developed. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 06:17, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
::I'm glad to have been of help in that case. While I don't see them as of utmost importance, these CC term articles/lists can come in handy, like when writing a new bio for one of these politicians. And yeah, these articles just like Yugoslavia in general aren't too well covered on English Wikipedia, but to tell you the truth, local language editions aren't much better either and sometimes even lag behind (efforts towards this coverage are being dispersed [[Bosnian Wikipedia|accross]] [[Croatian Wikipedia|four]] [[Serbian Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] [[Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia|editions]] based on varieties of [[Serbo-Croatian]]). I admire such an effort here on English-language edition being made by a non-speaker of any ex-Yugoslav language. As for the basic structure of categories, do try to assess in advance whether some of them have no prospect of growing past one (page/sub-category) member, especially those categories that match an article. I assume all those CC term categories that currently have only the matching article categorized into them are going to be expanded with members of each CC term? If yes, will they be categorized directly into those categories (e.g. [[:Category:Central Committee of the 12th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia|this one]]) and not yet another subcategory called "Members of the Central Committee of the ..."? Cheers! –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 07:42, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Vipz}} See [[:Category:Central Committee of the 26th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union]]. I've created a similar structure for the Vietnamese CC and its organs.

::These articles are essential to a) showcase the changes in the communist elite, b) show who governed Yugoslavia, and c) create a detailed list with basic information (birth year, death year, branch, ethnicity el cetra) that can be used as a foundation for future WP articles. Ideally, these articles should be split into several for each term: [[Central Committee of the 12th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia]], [[Central Committee Apparatus of the 12th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia]] and [[Members of the Central Committee of the 12th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia]]. See [[12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam]], an article I wrote that I've taken a break from and needs much work to improve further. 

::If you have any suggestions on how I should structure these categories, please say so :) --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 08:36, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

:::If you'll be able to reasonably populate all these categories while developing the structure, go ahead! I don't have any suggestions at the moment, but will let you know if/when I do. As for the further branching of articles, I'm not really inclined towards this. You have to keep in mind you'll have ''much, much'' less to write about an average CPY/LCY CC congress than a contemporary CPV CC congress. I would rather see it all written on one article first then discuss with other interested editors whether a split is warranted. And ''much, much'' was not an exaggeration... that's one huge article! Can't read it at the moment, but seems like good work. –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 08:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Vipz}} I entirely agree with you! First, splitting these articles is only warranted (as you say) if someone comes up with the necessary references, but I am not that man. But considering that the LCY decided on actual policy direction, one would think that it is notable enough to have its own stand-alone article.  Second, you don't need to read it! My point was just that it is possible to split these articles up, but that's of course a lot of labour. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 09:37, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

----

Unrelated to categories, but just so you know, apart from the logos I also updated the color scheme of {{tl|League of Communists of Yugoslavia}} to make better contrast and for links to hopefully stand out with brighter yellow. I used some of the existing communist party navbox templates for the shade of red used. Great progress with the articles by the way! –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 09:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

== East Germany ==

Hi, I have noticed that there are no articles about members of Politburo and Secretariat of [[Socialist Unity Party of Germany|the ruling communist party]] in [[East Germany]]. There are only articles in German [[:de:Liste_der_Mitglieder_des_Politbüros_des_ZK_der_SED|Liste der Mitglieder des Politbüros des ZK der SED]] and [[:de:Liste_der_Mitglieder_des_Sekretariats_des_ZK_der_SED|Liste der Mitglieder des Sekretariats des ZK der SED]]. Maybe it makes sense to create such articles in English. Of course, if you are interested. [[User:FlorianH76|FlorianH76]] ([[User talk:FlorianH76|talk]]) 13:50, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|FlorianH76}} Hi again! Yes, that's the plan! :) I aim to create CC articles for all the ruling Eastern European communist parties. My order of labour is as follows:
# Finishing the Yugoslavs
# Albanians 
# Hungarians
# Romanians
# Polish
# East Germans
# China
# Only after this will I begin with the national republics of the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.

Maybe I won't complete it, but that's my goal! The Yugoslav CCs are the most difficult because of the widespread use of ex-officio members and by-elections so it will take time. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 14:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

== Rozental in Uzbekistan? ==

Hi hi. I created the article [[Karl Rozental]]. Per a post in an online forum ( https://mytashkent.uz/2011/03/22/kratkaya-istoriya-razvitiya-svyazi-v-turkestanskom-krae/ ), Rozental would have moved on to work hold government roles in Uzbekistan, but I find no [[WP:RS]] to back this up. Is there any good listing of people's commissars in early soviet Uzbekistan (with deputies)? Notably the forum post get a lot of stuff wrong (like confusing Latvia and Lithuania), so perhaps it is from a non-Russian source where the poster mistranslates. The person answering the comment seems to be more accurate, getting the birth date and death date almost exactly as in one of the reference I got. The birth year 1886 seems to be a mix-up with K.G. Rozental.  -- [[User:Soman|Soman]] ([[User talk:Soman|talk]]) 16:13, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Soman}} Thanks for asking me of all people! Not as I know of, sadly. I usually use the ''[[Handbook on History of the Communist Party and the Soviet Union 1898–1991]]'' (knowbysight.info). I see from that source that he sat on the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania and Belarus ([http://www.knowbysight.info/1_LITBEL/14864.asp])
:'''If I were you''' I'd send a PM to Ukrainian WP user [https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87:MikeZah MikeZah]. He added the list of "Secretaries of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan". I am assuming-but I may be wrong-that if he held government offices in Uzbekistan (minister or something similar) he'd be a member of the CC. However, if this was in the early 1920s the odds are against that. However, given he managed to find a list of Secretaries of the CPU Central Committee I'd assume he might be able to find a list of cabinet members or so on.

: At last, great article! :) --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 18:29, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
::Many thanks. I found a Belarusian reference, that at least backs up that Rozental shifted to Uzbekistan at some point. My problem with the knowbysight.info ref is that the birth date and party entry date refers to {{ill|Karl Rozental (born 1886)|lt=Karl Gertovich Rozental|ru|Розенталь, Карл Гертович}}, although I presume that it is likely the info about CPLB CC membership. --[[User:Soman|Soman]] ([[User talk:Soman|talk]]) 18:45, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Soman}} What site? :)
:Knowbysight: not this time! Look more closely; the CC candidateship is for you're Rozental. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 18:49, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
::Sorry, I meant that the info on CC candidateship is likely correct. However they give the birth year and party membership year of K.G. Rozental. --[[User:Soman|Soman]] ([[User talk:Soman|talk]]) 18:56, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|Soman}} Aha! Yes, that database seems to have many "minor" errors. I understand why. It cannot be fun only adding numbers and years to individual people. That is a major problem with Yugoslav sources; official sources are terrible at recording birth years... They mix up years on several occasions. MOreover, while the books ''Who's Who in the Socialist Countries of Europe'' are good, they also have major problems with birth years.
:In either case, thanks for asking me of all users this question. Sorry that I wasn't of much help. Good luck! --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 19:01, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

If you believe a category should be renamed, merged or deleted, then nominate it at [[WP:CFD|Categories for Discussion]] following the instructions on the main page. Thank you. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 22:15, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

== Graduate section ==

Could I remove the graduate sections of the tables starting from the [[13th Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party]]? That extra column is causing the other columns to be too narrow and the entire table to stretch unnaturally off the webpage. Births and deaths could be moved to a bracket under the member's names as well. [[User:SuperWIKI|SuperWIKI]] ([[User talk:SuperWIKI|talk]]) 08:42, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
:{{replyto|SuperWIKI}} Huh, I don't have that problem on any browser. I disagree with removing the graduate section and merging the year and death columns as well. The tables are small and has room to stretch on my computers and all browsers I use. It worked very well on this FL [[12th Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam]]: the only difference between that one and these lists are the images. --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 09:43, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
::Understood, I will keep them as is. Please note that I did not mean any offence with that question. [[User:SuperWIKI|SuperWIKI]] ([[User talk:SuperWIKI|talk]]) 10:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
:::Don't you worry, you can be honest with me... I won't take it personally. The reason why I have birth year and party membership separate is that these two are essential indicators (especially in the present-day situation) of who will be re-elected, who won't be and who has a future in CPC politics. Being able to sort these columns also gives the users/readers the ability to see if the rejuvenation of the elite took place (it is more challenging when it is in a non-sortable column). The death year column, however, is unnecessary, but most people want them. Why is it uncessary? Death year has nothing to do with you're Politburo membership, especially in the post-Mao era when leading politicians retire before they die in office.

Hi TheUzbek, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3ATheUzbek added]</span> the [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled user right]] to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|new pages feed]]. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled|requested]] on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|new page patrollers]].

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] templates, [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub tags]], [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categories]], and [[Wikipedia:Orphan|incoming links]] to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as [[User:Evad37/rater|Rater]] and [[User:SD0001/StubSorter|StubSorter]] can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|core content policies]], you might also consider volunteering to become a [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|new page patroller]] yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Articles on the [[Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party]]'s individual terms are '''DRASTICALLY DAMAGED''' by leaving no clue as to ''which'' of the members are on that term's Standing Committee.
It has always been conventional to include this information by some form or other in any roster of a Politburo,
separate article or not.
Even fifty-year-old almanacs I have that list Politburos designate the inner circles of them.

== Yugoslav navbox merging opportunity ==

If you happen to have time for cleanup work, many Yugoslav office navboxes in [[:Category:Yugoslavia political leader navigational boxes]] could be merged into one. In particular, I'm referring to all the separate navboxes for each period (19xx-19xx) that could easily just be sections in an unified navbox for each office. 👋 –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 20:29, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

::::Each branch having its own section makes it more digestible, so I approve. However, I think the "Central Organisation" section should not be expanded by default when somebody expands the navbox. Instead, there should be a parameter akin to sidebars that opens an appropriate section, so that readers don't have to look for it. For example, [[Secretary of the Presidency of the League of Communists of Serbia]] would display the "Serbian Branch" section of the LCY navbox, given an appropriate parameter. –[[User:Vipz|Vipz]] ([[User talk:Vipz|talk]]) 13:03, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

== Blocked as a sockpuppet ==
{{unblock reviewed |1=# Last time I appealed I was asked to wait six months, and I have waited more (if I remember correctly). So Why should I be unblocked? I have both created a tons of GA and FL content for Wikipedia, and been an active sockpuppeter. Last time as TheUzbek. I had not been active on Wikipedia for a time and found interest in editing again, thinking bygones were bygones (but that was of course not the case). Last time I was blocked had nothing really to do with breaches of any rule, but a user discovered by history and used it to block changes he disagreed with (that were referenced by both academic and primary sources). For example this one, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Socialist_state&oldid=1209555659] and this one [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Communist_state&oldid=1208944807] Some might read this, and think, he accepts no blame or he has not changed or something in similar lines. That is '''completely wrong''', I believe that I was in the wrong in how I went about things, but not about the facts which blatently state that China was not a socialist state until 1975 (read the Chinese constitution that proclaims it as a [[people's democratic state]]) and the academic sources that point them out. #More generally, when I first was blocked I was young and stupid and did some idiotic things when I was young (as user Trust Is All You Need). But I was not even 22 years of age. Should I be blocked for the rest of my life because of it? Also, its not like I have not made good content and original content over the years. From this, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_League_of_Communists_of_Yugoslavia], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Politburo_of_the_Communist_Party_of_Vietnam] and other stuff ... and I did good things as Trust Is All You Need as well (and many stupid things, of course). For example, I created all the central committee articles of the CPSU and then I came back and tableised them as TheUzbek. Because of that, English Wikipedia has the best online database on the Soviet party leadership on the Internet, and I want to do the same for the Romanian, East German, Polish el cetra communist elites. Am I saying I did alone? Of course not: Wikipedia is collaboration! However, I created them, and the edit histories clearly show that on nearly all those articles, I am the main contributor. I also showed great collaborative skills when working on Yugoslav-related articles, notably this one: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leader_of_the_League_of_Communists_of_Yugoslavia] .... just look at the improvement from its original state: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leader_of_the_League_of_Communists_of_Yugoslavia&oldid=1156715855] #I say that I have great knowledge about communism not because I have an avid interest in communism, but because of my academic knowledge. I am currently writing a book with help of scholars from the University of Oslo about Chinese governance and their socialist rule of law reforms. The intention of the book is to be introductory and give a basic outline of communist form of government more generally and how its practiced in China. I am also currently working on some academic articles with these men. Again, here, you have a choice to believe or disbelieve, but I hope you chose to believe. I am not saying I am a great editor. I am not saying im scot free of all charges. I am not saying I should not have extra supervision —of course I should be under the greatest supervision imaginable (as long as its transparent).... But I am saying that I have great knowledge on the subject of communism. Terms like the [[highest organ of state power]], the [[unified exercise of state power]], the [[class character of the state]], the [[organisational form of state power]], [[permanent body of the highest organ of state power]] et cetra are not made up terms. The difference between [[people's democratic state]]s and [[socialist state]]s are not made up either. These basic terms are missing from Wikipedia, and on many occasions I've been accused of vandalism and POV-pushing for trying to introduce basic terms that describe the Marxist-Leninist conception of the state. The fact that I made clear that academic sources differentiate between [[communist state]]s as the form of government and the material-ruling class system Marxist-Leninists have referred to as, for example, "People's democratic states", "Socialist states", "National democratic states" have gone down badly even if academic sources blatently make these distinctions, and the Marxist-Leninists themselves. Laos does not call itself a socialist state for example, but we do for some reason. Article 2 of the Constitution of Laos plainly state, "The State of the Lao People's Democratic Republic is a '''people's democratic state'''". The Laotian constitution mentiones socialism twice. First as "creating conditions to move towards socialism" and secondl as "The national economy of the Lao People's Democratic Republic is the market-oriented economy that follows the socialist path"..  creating the conditions of socialism and follow a socialist path does not make it a socialist republic according to Marxism-Leninism or academic scholars such as Stephen White (who was the leading academic scholar in this field), but why does Wikipedia call Laos a "Unitary Marxist–Leninist one-party socialist republic"? The actual form of government as outlined is a system of assemblies subjugated to democratic centralism where the lowest assemblies are subjugated to the highest assembly, and where the highest assembly, the National ASsembly of Laos, has unlimited authority per the principles of the unified exercise of state power. This is what the Laotian constitution says, and this is what Marxist Leninists refer to as the organisational form of state power. # Over the years I have contributed extensively to the betterment of Wikipedia by expanding articles were their is little knowledge. I've been accused of pushing narrow views on the topics of communism, saying for example that the Soviet Union was not a socialist state before 1936. But I am not the one who has pushed that. Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky and the Soviet leaders themselves said that. If Lenin wrote, "Nor, I think, has any Communist denied that the term Soviet Socialist Republic implies the '''determination''' of the Soviet power to achieve the transition to socialism, and '''not''' that the existing economic system is recognised as a socialist  order" I should not be to blame. Zinoviev said as much in 1925, "The only point upon which there is disagreement is the question: is it possible for a socialist state of society to be completely realised and maintained in an agrarian country such as the Soviet Union?" My point is simply that I've been accused of pushign a narrow view of what a [[communist state]] and a [[socialist state]] is, which makes no sense, since both academic and primary sources back my edits. I am saying this not because this is how Moxy discovered "me" and he has accussed me of vandalism because of presenting academic and primary sources that goes against his personal views. When that is said, Moxy was right to inform the authorities about me and it was correct to block me because my behaviour at this point was incorrect and I showed extremely bad collaborative skills. It does not matter if you're right if you burn all bridges, and that I did... So I deserved this block! # My main arguements for being unblocked are as follows: ## I accept the reasons for my punishments: that I was a sockpuppeter, but I want to make clear that I did not have evil intentions. I did not spread fake news, false information or anything else. I simply started editting again and I simply thought after all these years it would be OK. It was not, and I should have come forward. It obvious know, but that does not mean it was obvious when I began editing again. ## I am not interested in presenting a narrow view of any topic; only the view presented in academic sources, and primary sources if need be. I uphold all WP rules and there are no WP rules I am against. ## I can accept additional punishment, but hopefully you won't ban me for life. If you want to punish for me an additional six months or whatnot I will wait that time. ## I can contribute positively, and I'm still not 40. Is Wikipedia about banning people for life who want to contribute or about inclusion? I accept I must prove myself to the community, but then let me prove myself. Regards |decline = While I do appreciate the sincerity, patience and effort that went into this appeal, I am ultimately not convinced that the original, underlying issues behind the block as TIAYN regarding ability to engage with and follow academic RS when editing topics related to communist governance (broadly defined) have been addressed. Ultimately, I'm dissuaded from accepting this appeal primarily due to its inclusion of extensive recourse to primary sources, whether in the form of constitutions or the works of Marxist leaders. The discourse here regarding various examples of ML terminology does not inspire confidence that you've moved on from prior problematic and/or selective engagement with sources. {{br}} The reality of academic RS concerning the character of socialist bloc states is that there are massive discontinuities of perspective in the field. All sorts of schools of thought have tackled the subject, and their views do not coincide on anything that resembles a consensus for this topic. This leaves Wikipedians with the unfortunate difficulty of presenting these views alongside each other and balancing them; the assertion {{tq|both academic and primary sources back my edits}} with reference to the specific claim chosen here ({{tq|the Soviet Union was not a socialist state before 1936}}), suggests a continued lack of understanding of how peer-reviewed sources as a whole approach this topic, and a continued excessive deference to primary sources.  <sub>signed, </sub>[[User:Rosguill|'''''Rosguill''''']] <sup>[[User talk:Rosguill|''talk'']]</sup> 20:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)}}

:As for categorisation, there is scholarly acknowledgement of it. I am not saying the Soviet Union was not a communist state before 1936; it was. These terms did means things in actual practice, and numerous scholars can point to. Change in categorisation was also met with a change in policy.
:What is hurtful with this decline is that we are in 100% agreement Rosguill. It was not my intention to appear that I backed my edits on primary sources. I could as well have cited Stephen White, H.

As for my edits, one can see from the ones I made, from the Communist Party of Vietnam to the LCY Central Committee, that I did not rely on primary sources. I have never done that. I for that matter has also made clear my support for the usage of the term "communist state" over people's democratic and socialist. That is the term used by most scholars. However, I have been met with "communist state is an oxymoron", "these states are socialists, read their constitution" typ of arguments. '''Everything that I have written as been made on the basis of secondary sources.''' I have always adhered to WP's policy of writing down what the sources say and not you're own opinion.

My edits on [[socialist state]] were solely based on secondary sources, and it was reverted since it reflected my own opinion. But the current one both contradicts itself and cites Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Trotskyists, Anarchists et cetra instead of scholarly sources.

===RE: Unblock===
{{unblock |reason=Above, I feel {{replyto|Rosguill}} misinterpreted me (not intentionally of course).
:Rosguill's claim: For example, he wrote; "The discourse here regarding various examples of ML terminology does not inspire confidence that you've moved on from prior problematic and/or selective engagement with sources."
:::My response: Scholars use these terms; just like scholars use "democratic centralism" they also use "unity of state power". My intention of listing those terms was not to enforce ML terminology on Wikipedia, but show their scholarly relevance.
:Rosguill's claim: "the Soviet Union was not a socialist state before 1936, suggests a continued lack of understanding of how peer-reviewed sources as a whole approach this topic"
:::My response: The Soviet Union was always a communist state. A communist state can be a socialist state, a people's democratic, a national democratic state, etc. This is the scholarly consensus. Read, fore example, Stephen White's "What is a Communist System?" found on Jstor. However, it is wrong to make a socialist state synonymous with a communist state since not all communist states were socialist states. For example, a socialist state denotes a socialist economy with a strong public sector. In practice, until the Chinese and Vietnamese reforms, that meant that people's democracies allowed for private agriculture and mid-sized private enterprises and that socialist states did not. A communist state is the Western scholarly term to denote the form of government/system practised by these Marxist-Leninist states.
:::However, the communist form of government—how the state was organised—was close to identical in a people's democracy and a socialist state. Both practiced the unified exercise of state power and democratic centralism, and that practiced the principle that the party commands the state.

:Again, and I can't stress this enough, I take every criticism for my past behaviour, but I find it strange that my blocked should be maintained on inaccurate grounds. All my edits have always been based on secondary sources. My edits on WP proves that. Noticed that my edits on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Socialist_state&oldid=1209555659 socialist state] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Communist_state&oldid=1208944807 communist state] articles were reverted, but I did not use a single primary source and all the sources I used were secondary academic sources. I am a hundred percent that if one of you actually reads my edits on these articles you will understand that accusing my of basing my edits on primary sources is '''misleading.''''.

I accept limitations on my editing, control and supervision of them; I accept every limitation. But why is it so hard to accept that I, someone who is writing a book with the help of scholars, actually comprehend this subject far more than the average user? I am not trying to be arrogant, but I find it mind-boggling that when I write a historical fact (the USSR was not a socialist state until 1936), it is interpreted against because the person in question does not understand the terminology behind the scholarly use of the term communist state. Scholars would have used the term "socialist state" instead of "communist state" if all the communist states self-designated themselves as such, but they did not. And scholars accept that these terms actually influence the policies of these states. I'd advise people to read "China and the Soviet Theory of People's Democracy" by scholar Benjamin Schwartz, "People's Democracy in Soviet Theory" and "People's Democracy, the Proletarian Dictatorship and the Czechoslovak Path to Socialism" by scholar H. Gordin Skilling and previously published books with names such as ''A History of the People's Democracies: Eastern Europe since Stalin''. But by the mid-1970s, all the people's democracies of Europe had transformed themselves into "socialist states". For example,  the book ''A Dictionary of 20th-Century Communism'' (which was edited by one of the prominent historians on communism in recent years, that is, [[Robert Service (historian)]]) denotes, that these states were "Communist states" and "The commitment to a Marxist teleology meant that the description of the state changed as it developed along that teleological line. Thuse, the Soviet Union was described as a'socialist state of workers and peasants" in the 1936 constitution and a "socialist state of the whole people" in the constitution of 1977, while many of the newly-founded postwar states of Eastern Europe were initially depicted as 'people's democracies'" (page 235). What is my point? My use of ML terminology is consistent with the use found in secondary, scholarly sources. 

Again, I can't stress this enough. I deserved to be blocked, I overreacted. But my edits have always been consistent with secondary sources, with the scholarly consensus. I have never breached that line. NEVER! I have, however, acted like an asshole. And I am ashamed of that! --[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]] ([[User talk:TheUzbek#top|talk]]) 08:33, 17 October 2024 (UTC) }}

::Hi @[[User:TheUzbek|TheUzbek]], I've read your wall o' text, I'm fairly sure I understand why you feel mistreated, and I am in general extremely sympathetic to "I was an idiot when I was 22". However, I'm really hesitant to accept this unblock request, for a couple of reasons. For one, like Rosguill I'm concerned you'll go back to doing what got you blocked in the first place. By that I don't mean "misusing primary sources", I mean "getting into fights about terminology in socialism-related articles". It's clear to me that this is presently your immediate goal upon returning to editing. You recognized that you were an asshole about it before and you are ashamed of that: this is good. But you're still coming off as A Lot. I find it hard to imagine that you won't start discussions on the topic, bury everyone under 1000-word source criticism essays, and then bludgeon the discussion until everyone else leaves or you all get blocked. I don't think you will do this maliciously, or with ''intent'' to bludgeon the shit out of everyone, but it really looks like that's what will happen. Please have a look at [[WP:BRIE]]. If you're unblocked, you'll be expected to find consensus for your changes, not strongarm other people into them.
::I'm also concerned about how you talk about other editors. Take this one: {{tq|why is it so hard to accept that I, someone who is writing a book with the help of scholars, actually comprehend this subject far more than the average user?}} Many of us on Wikipedia ''are'' scholars. Most others are some form of weird nerd with hyperfocus (I say this with love), such that they may as well be scholars. Crucially, all Wikipedians need to be respected regardless. And I'm confident that you know more about the topic than the average user - but I'm also confident that the people you encounter on the talk page about a socialism-related article are not "the average user". Please recalibrate. Other editors' views on the topic you're editing are worthy of consideration.
::I'm not sure what you can do to reassure me or anyone else about these concerns. Maybe it would help to voluntarily accept some edit restrictions, like a [[WP:1RR]], or a promise to avoid certain types of edits. On the other hand, maybe you just need some more time out. I promise you that it's possible for an indefinitely blocked user to return to editing, even after a block for something pretty serious, so long as they're not harassing people or creating endless sockpuppets (if you just have this one, that's, well, it's not "fine", but it's not "go away and don't ever come back"). 
::<small>Given your edit history, I assume you are capable of looking at my userpage and concluding, from the intersection of various userboxes, a) that I am far more familiar with this debate than I have ever wanted to be, b) that I do accept that it's probably important on some level, and c) that I think the debate is a colossal waste of everyone's time. These conclusions would be entirely correct. I don't think that's factored into my response in a way that's prejudicial against you (if anything, it gave me the patience to read the wall o' text), but I figured I ought to say it out loud.</small> -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 05:23, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

::::2. I get it, I do sound arrogant and I probably am. It is just insanely annoying when scholarly sources used by me was referred to as "my subjective opinion" ish. But if my proposal above goes - that I'm unable to edit (or unable to make significant edits) to those articles - that might be acceptable? I didn't get bogged down in a single edit-war on my articles on China, VIetnam, SOviet party organs and Yugoslavia.
::::3. Depends what you mean by "colossal waste of everyone's time". The highest state organ of power and the unified state apparatus make clear that communist states only have one single branch of government. And, while I agree that mostly nerds will care, designation such as people's democratic and socialist clearly influenced policy-making of these states, but some other designations, such as the USSR developing from a "socialist state of workers' and peasants" to "socialist state of the whole people" did not impact that much... But the "whole people" thing was used as an ideological arguement to reduce political repression; since everyone is for us, we don't need to repress everyone. That is, it negated Stalin's theory of [[intensification of the class struggle under socialism]].
::::4. I don't need to edit the articles on communist and socialist states, but my only intention was to create the basic framework on Wikipedia to understand these states correctly. Currently WP misses plenty of articles on the subject, and the few on them available were factually inaccurate. And while you are probably very right in that there are many scholars on Wikipedia there is obviously few scholars on communist governance here. But if you and everyone else conclude I shouldn't be able to edit them in a year or two or more '''I will accept that'''. I have no problem in you instituting limitations on my editing rights. No problems whatsoever.

::::::::Ok, that's good to know. From one academic to another: I think many Wikipedians' idea of "original research" is deeply flawed. I am convinced that many of our best editors do "original research" all the time and are celebrated for it (as I think they should be). From reading the discussions on your talk page and nothing else, I also think it is extremely likely that you have indeed done quite a bit of "original research". Think about it like this: you're writing a book, right? Why would anyone want to ''read'' that book, if it didn't contain original research? The work of a historian is research even if it's based on secondary sources; you're doing something a bit akin to historiography, which effectively turns what are normally considered "secondary sources" into the primary sources of your research. And according to Wikipedia's general principles, that means you ''are'' arguing from your "subjective opinion", in a way. It's a highly educated, deeply researched opinion. But still an opinion. Perhaps you write a book that is genre-defining, that gains widespread currency in the field. What did the field "think" before? Something that wasn't in line with your opinion. What does the field think after your book? Something that is. What that means is that your opinion was ''persuasive'', not that it was true. In history, we try very hard to be persuaded by opinions that have the most truth to them. But they ''are'' a form of opinion.
::::::::Your #3, above, is a good example. The sentences you have written look like facts. I'm sure you believe that they are facts; I am also sure that you can find scholars on the topic who agree. That is to say, I think there is a very good chance that they can reasonably be described ''as'' facts, not as someone's subjective opinion. But what you wrote there, you wrote like a historian trying to convince another historian. That's not how Wikipedians should be trying to convince other Wikipedians (at least, not if they want to be successful). It looks to me like it's this approach that is getting you into trouble. Part of being a successful Wikipedian in history-related topics is knowing how to keep the "arguing like a historian" side of yourself out of a conversation. (Or, at least, clearly flagging it. I'm sure I've been in a few content disputes where I gave both opinions, safely quarantined from each other.)
::::::::I'm not sure a topic ban is a good way forward for you, since topic bans are typically something like "communism, broadly construed", which seems to me like it would prevent you from editing on anything in your area of interest at all. Partial-blocking you from only the articles "socialist state" and "communist state" seems too narrow. If you ''were'' handed a topic ban on "communism, broadly construed", what do you think you would you edit? -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 21:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::After posting this I recalled one such dispute, useful as an example for being one that really, truly does not "matter" in the grand scheme of things and will offend no one to recall: [[Talk:La Salute è in voi#Page count]]. "Historian asilvering" was correct, as it happens. But we didn't go with historian asilvering's opinion, because that's all it was. -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 21:21, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::# {{replyto|Asilvering}} I feel like you are trying to rationalise why I was blocked. I am not saying I have not erred, but come on... Instead of talking in the abstract, find an edit on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Socialist_state&oldid=1209555659 socialist state], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Communist_state&oldid=1208944807 communist state], [[LCY Presidency]], [[LCY Central Committee]], [[LCY President]], [[Commission for Statutory Questions|LCY Statutory Commission]] et cetera that proves what you are saying about me. I have, of course, made a mistake; I am, of course, human, but to generalise to the extent you are doing so without actually pointing to a single actual edit does not help. When most scholars and specialists on the subject, from Archie Brown to Robert Service to Stephen White, use "communist state" or "communist system", that is not interpreting the sources. That is what the sources say. This is not persuasion; these are cold and hard facts based on what these people directly wrote. As Archie Brown writes, "Many former Communist politicians have objected to the use of that term because, they remind us, ‘communism’ was to be the ultimate stage of socialism which they never claimed to have reached. Yet the members of these ruling parties described themselves as Communists, and Western scholars, categorising the systems as ‘Communist’, did not imagine for a moment that they were depicting what Marx or Lenin had in mind by the stage of ‘communism’ – that self-governing, stateless, co-operative society which has never existed anywhere. (Using a capital ‘C’ for real Communist systems, with their enormous and oppressive state power, and a lower-case ‘c’ for the imaginary, stateless ‘communism’ of the future helps to keep clear the distinction.)" My opinion is not subjective or anything else; it based on the written words of scholars.
::::::::::# "Your #3, above, is a good example. The sentences you have written look like facts." Notice that I wrote the article, [[Socialist state of the whole people]], and what does that article say on the subject? I am quoting scholar Mark Sandle, "Now the All-People's State represented all Soviet citizens (altought a leading role for the proletariat was still reserved, without saying what this meant in practice). This idea was a repudiation of the Stalinist idea of the strengthening of the state with the approach of socialism because of the [[intensification of the class struggle under socialism|intensification of the class struggle]]." (book; ''A Short History Of Soviet Socialism'', page 243)
::::::::::# As for topic ban: why would you ban me from a topic I have great contributions to? Are you [[12th Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam]] or [[Alternates of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam]] are not [[WP:FL]]? Are you saying the [[LCY Presidency]] is not a WP:GA? What is you're point here?

:::::::::::Regarding #3, I'm not saying I ''would'' ban you from the topic - I said {{tq|I'm not sure a topic ban is a good way forward for you}}. Asking an editor to voluntarily accept a topic ban in the area where they had editing conflicts previously is common in response to unblock requests. It lets editors get back to editing without letting them go straight back to the conflicts that got them blocked in the first place. That's what we're trying to do, when we evaluate unblock requests: determine whether the same problems will arise again if you're unblocked. 
:::::::::::I'd very much like to let you go back to making and reviewing GAs. But I'm still stuck on this: {{tq|I find it hard to imagine that you won't start discussions on the topic, bury everyone under 1000-word source criticism essays, and then bludgeon the discussion until everyone else leaves or you all get blocked. I don't think you will do this maliciously, or with ''intent'' to bludgeon the shit out of everyone, but it really looks like that's what will happen.}}
:::::::::::I don't want to take any action here myself, since while I'm one of the newest admins on the unblock queue I'd like to stick to acting on only the simpler requests. I hope that this will have been in some way helpful for the more experienced admin who attends to the unblock review template itself. I do think that you've come off as more mature in this conversation than in your earlier unblock requests, which does help. If a future admin would like to unblock but is hesitating because they'd want someone to keep an eye on you and don't want to be that someone, I'm happy to get called in for that. -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 02:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::: I'm nowhere near qualified to unblock here, but it's worth pointing out that Trust Is All You Need was not blocked indefinitely for overreliance on primary sources - they were blocked indefinitely for posting screeds saying they would destroy Wikipedia. I, at least, am convinced that they won't do that again, so don't see the relevance of applying a much closer analysis of sourcing standards than most editors are subject to.
