Stub expansion progress

[edit]

Hey all! Today we finally got our number of stubs covered by the project down to 500 articles, which means our first milestone of 80% articles being start-class or higher is likely to be secure for the foreseeable future. Thanks to everyone that has helped expand some of these articles! Next steps would probably be to raise our target to 85% or 90%, which would require us to expand between 100 and 250 more articles. We also still have 7 11 high-priority stubs to expand, which each got more than 30 daily average page views last month:

Feel free to take one of these (or any other stub) on for expansion; every little helps, it only needs to be >250 words to get an article to start class. Let me know if you're ok with us setting a new goal (85/90%) for the stub expansion project and I'll get that started. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've just finished tagging all our stubs that didn't yet have one, so now Category:Anarchism stubs should be up to date. I'm thinking at some point I'll create some more sub-categories to make the category easier-to-browse, with stub tags for organisations, publications and anarchists of different nationalities. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Setting a new goal sounds good. I'll likely be spending my time making GAs and FAs rather than expanding stubs this year. czar 00:36, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've just bumped it up to 85%, which seems like it'll be doable given enough time. Best of luck with your GA and FA projects! --Grnrchst (talk) 10:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've started making progress on these, with a small expansion on the anti-authoritarianism article and developing the biography on Andrea Costa a bit more. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:32, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Today I expanded the articles on Rouvikonas and Hans Jæger to start class. A lot more can be added to both of these, but they're more filled out than they were. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Today marks the third or fourth time since posting this that I have tried to expand the market anarchism article but given up on it after reading the source material. I just find this subject so absurdly dull and uninteresting. If anyone here is up to give this article a bit of work, I'd appreciate it a lot. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:43, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just got Peter Gelderloos over 250 words, although I could probably still do more from harder-to-access sources (that I have already identified) Iostn (talk) 23:49, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Iostn: Nice work! Thanks so much for expanding this. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:38, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

European Destubathon

[edit]

Just found out that in April 2025, WikiProject Europe is hosting the European Destubathon. We have plenty of articles about Europe and Europeans that could do with a wee bit of expansion, so if you want to take some of these on, this will be a good opportunity to do so! Of our top-priority stubs, the articles on Lou Watts and Noël Godin still need expanding. We also have plenty of biographies, books, publications, organisations and movements to choose from. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:49, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aristoxène: By my count (using the Petscan tool) there's some 61 stubs about anarchism in France that could do with expansion. Would you be interested in taking any of these on? --Grnrchst (talk) 14:06, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Grnrchst Hello ! Oh that tool is very cool, didn't know that existed. Yes, I'll have to translate the page I just created on Pierre Martinet but I wanted to improve massively Clément Duval for starters, because it's clearly sad to see the page like that when the dude created a whole movement. I uploaded his 'bagne' papers on Commons the other day so I will have a look at it and at the other pages. Thank you for the link. Aristoxène (talk) 14:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if it works automatically but I think Duval is not a stub anymore (or at least hope so) Aristoxène (talk) 13:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Aristoxène: Excellent work! It's looking good, although it might be a bit too reliant on Duval's autobiography in places. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:29, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Grnrchst So sadly for all the first part of his life the main infos seem to be only found in his autobiography. Note that the pages from the book I quote are not the parts where it's actually his autobiography but more like the biographical introduction made by the editor/translator (probably Galleani ?) about Duval. So the first 70 pages or so are like a biographical narrative of Duval's life which summarizes somewhat his Memoirs probably. I tried to take away most of Galleani's biased (because he is not neutral tbf) and misogynistic biographical account but yeah, it's not from Duval himself. I think it's probably the only biographical account on his life prior to 1886 (if you look at the Maitron, his life starts in 1886 literaly ^^) Aristoxène (talk) 13:37, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Michael Kemp (I think a pseudo-historian) claims that no infos exist on the early life of Duval, but I feel like he didn't read the actual autobiography or it's introduction, because the biographical introduction is 70 pages long and the autobiography (which I didn't read) is 1000+ pages long. I remember reading some historians discuss the 'arson property attacks' specifically as something kinda influential in terrorism and history so maybe this section could be consolidated with those sources if I find it back, but yeah for like the military and medical issues, very hard. Especially since also there is Galleani who claims that Duval divorced his wife that he was beating and in another source which I didn't add because I don't understand how this would work or whatever, we have a 'Louise Duval' which wrote in Le Révolté to save him and gather money for him in the penal colony. So a lot of shady points still sadly. It's probably more clear in the actual autobiography but 1000+ pages in Italian you know lol Aristoxène (talk) 13:44, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I feel like the 'bagne' part is very short and should be improved, since a large part of his life and experiences and thought was dedicated to this subject ; but I like making pages about people in revolt and people in concentration camps make me sad somewhat so I didn't dwelve too much on it, someone else will probably over time, I hope. Aristoxène (talk) 13:52, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok. I've changed the citation to clarify that it's the biographical chapter being cited, not Duval's own autobiography. According to the note at the end of the chapter, it seems like it was written by a certain "A. d. T." although I'm not sure who that might be just going off the initials. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thanks a lot for that and for all :) @Grnrchst Aristoxène (talk) 17:38, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd wager N. d. T. is short for "editor's note" there. But a matter for the Duval talk page anyway. czar 21:13, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar: Close! I just realised it's "Nota del Traduttore" (Translator's note). --Grnrchst (talk) 08:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’ll try to do Alexandre Skirda and Robert Louzon BobFromBrockley (talk) 21:24, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you can find some biographical information to add on Skirda! I've tried looking for some before, but only found reviews for his books. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm starting work on expanding some of our stubs about Spain (see Petscan results), as I was already working on this area so it seemed like a natural fit. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:04, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bobfrombrockley and LittleDwangs: Hey, would either of you be interested in helping expand some of our stubs about the British anarchist movement? According to the Petscan results, we have some 23 stubs about British anarchists, their publications and organisations. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I volunteer to take on Brian Morris (anthropologist), Richard Hunt (editor) and Yankev-Meyer Zalkind to start with. BobFromBrockley (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
