[WikiEN-l] Fred's work given its own article

Fri May 9 05:52:19 UTC 2003

I have moved Fred's controversial edits to a separate page from [[Communist 
state]]. Given that they amount to a critique of communist government and 
governance (not the theoretical discussion of a system where party and 
government are blurred together) I have provisionally called it [[Communist 
government]] (well my suggestion was slightly different but Taku turned it 
into that) though someone may be able to come up with a better title. It is 
now linked to the Communist state page, allowing the Cs page to be what it 
was designed to be and what its opening paragraph says it is about, a 
definition of a particular constitutional system, not a discussion on 
communISM.

Fred can work on his linked page there to try to NPOV it and give it some 
degree of balance (and to avoid sweeping generalisations in preference to 
solid analysis), while its analysis is linked to the [[Communist state]] 
page (along with other links like [[Forms of government]], [[China]] etc. 
Having spent so much time reverting [[China]] originally to remove the term 
[[Communist state]], then when that failed gone to [[Communist state]] and 
tried to POV it and add in stuff that was not linked to a definition (the 
page was specially created in the first place to explain to him what the 
term meant!) maybe now he can pull together a proper encyclopædic article 
without constantly reverting everyone else's work and completely changing 
the meanings of what they had written in mysterious 'minor' edits. A 
properly written encyclopædic article can augment the article on the 
political science definition, with each linked to the other. But the 
[[Communist government]] article needs a hell of a lot of work to reach that 
standard. Hopefully it will get that and reach that standard.
