Jewish anarchism in Germany

Hi. I was wondering if you know much about Jewish anarchism in Germany, particularly post-war Germany. I'm trying to improve content relating to the post-war Jewish left in Germany. Thank you for your time. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 11:10, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bohemian Baltimore, unfortunately not in particular. I have a copy of Carlson's Anarchism in Germany, which doesn't emphasize Jewish participation in the movement. There are a few mentions of Germany in the recent compendium With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism (pp. 11, 22, 31): that fascist Germany banned Esperanto and of socialism in Berlin in the time of Johann Most. There are a few other mentions in that first chapter on Johann Most that might be interesting but not what you're looking for.

I recommend browsing the WorldCat subject headings su:Anarchism Germany and su:Anarchism Germany History for more. Most likely you'll need to search using Germany words in the German language (Jüdischer Anarchismus Deutschland) to find local histories that have not been translated into English. czar 16:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bohemian Baltimore I’m reading through this now. Rudolph Rocker was not Jewish but was very influential in Jewish anarchism in Germany and their nexus of influences ie Buenos Aires, London and New York. I would be happy to collaborate further with you on a task list. Post war Jewish radicals were fewer for obvious reasons but plenty in SED leadership and trade unions ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 16:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

citations for list of works/bibliography?

Hi Czar, hope you're doing well. I know it's appropriate to include citations for lists of works on author pages. Is it okay to cite the book itself as evidence for its existence? That seems circular. Thanks, Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! In articles on authors, "Selected works" section style is pretty lax, in my experience. Generally it's fine to use the title and date (and optionally, the publisher and ISBN identifier, or even an external link if open access). Including the ISBN or OCLC number is, to my eyes anyway, tantamount to a primary source citation because anyone can look up the work using the identifier. Sometimes, if it's a list of essays or non-books, it can be fine to just use citation templates directly in the section. I agree that it's duplicative to cite the book itself unless it's truly referencing the book. My personal preference is to cite book reviews so it verifies the bibliographic material while providing helpful context for the reader. Hope you're doing well too! czar 01:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, I will pass it along to my student. Actually, my Wikipedia work has become something of a dumpster fire! I'm trying to find ways I can contribute productively. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the article, introduced:

25¢
"An indispensable pamphlet for those comrades who love self-instruction"
"Mere possession of this wicked treatise would suggest that the owner was up to no good."
"The great unmentioned fact" of the Sacco-Vanzetti case
"If any of the bombers used La Salute as their textbook (and there is no evidence that they did), it proved inadequate ... None of the [their] bombs ever reached their intended targets ... They injured only bystanders or themselves."

Probably the first bomb-making handbook at FAC, this little article is a complete treatment of the subject and its weaponization from all of its major sources."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "One of my favorite quotes is from the philosopher John Searle speaking in 2010 on French philosophy, in which he says that two famous French philosophers had confided to him that, in France, philosophical writing has to be at least 10 or 20 percent incomprehensible to be perceived as deep and to be taken seriously. I've yet to read a monograph that tackles obscurantism in academia but until then, we have this article.

I started out writing this article about Paul Goodman's dissertation as part of a project to document his works. And Goodman's academic career is such a small, passed-over pocket of the very wide range of topics he covered (spanning 21 sections of the New York Public Library), that I had not seen previously written, with such singular clarity, a group of writers converging to say about his academic debut what could largely be said of his larger career, that this book was full of psychological insight and incisive asides, but he eclipsed his argument with impenetrable style issues and jargon.

I've been working on this Goodman project for nearly a decade now because sometimes incomprehensible sociological works have real-world impact, and writing clearly about unclear texts can be hard, interesting, and sometimes rewarding." - Amazing! - Another person of literature, with more clarity, is on the same page: Peter Demetz. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeNMLC, both of these articles have over ten sources apiece and are suitable stubs that would handily survive AfD. Please move them back to mainspace. czar 14:59, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The articles do not have a References section, so it would be helpful for readers to see "the usual" standard citations instead of "Further reading" section. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeNMLC, call the section what you wish but it should be outstandingly clear that both topics more than meet the general notability guideline. Please do not mark such articles as having "no sources" in the future. czar 23:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From "WP:NPP" article was tagged as "No citations" so I understand that tagging not always correct. And that "Further reading" section can be sufficient for notablity. Thanks, JoeNMLC (talk) 00:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeNMLC, the various potential problem filters at Special:NewPagesFeed are assigned by algorithm, which is precisely why new page patrollers check the flagged articles in the first place instead of just accepting the computer's judgement and draftifying everything that might be a problem. -- asilvering (talk) 08:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
