Anarchism

Hi Soman,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 03:34, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

In search of a book

Hi! So, recently I've been going through cataloguing a list of Bolivian parliamentarians and noticed that a good chunk of already-existing articles were created by you (E. Flores, N. Guzmán, F. Hurtado, F. Vaca, among others). I saw that a lot of these cite a specific work ("Directorio: 1997 - 2002. La Paz: Centro de Investigación del Congreso Nacional (CICON), 2002"), which I haven't been able to find much on. I'm always on the look out for the scant sources available for these articles and was curious if you still had it. Its a longshot—these articles are upwards of ten years old—but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 04:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, my copy of that particular book was placed in a bag that was stolen many years ago now. If you're able to find a copy in a library, it has bios on all MPs from that period. There is a copy in Paraguay ([1]), Princeton ([2]) and Berlin ([3]). In Google Books, I get no preview at the moment. --Soman (talk) 03:21, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Ah, that's tragic, but thanks for the swift reply. I suppose I'll be booking a flight to Berlin, then. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 03:51, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
