thread_title:  Article has no references 

message: This article should be split, to separate between the term Menshevik and the Mensheviks as a faction of RSDRP on one hand, and the Menshevik party after 1912 on the other. --Soman (talk) 10:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I have now splitted the article into two. I removed the post-1912 material from this article. However, all of that material was unreferenced and I felt uncomfortable copying that over to the new article. Please check through the old versions of this page, and see if there are material that could be rescued from adding sources. --Soman (talk) 22:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

text: this article should definitely not be split in my opinion. that makes it unnecessarily confusing when they were essentially the same party with the same people. it doesn't need a whole article, just a section. also there is a section here for after 1917 which makes no sense if post-1912 is seperate.

replies: text: I am going to go ahead and merge these two pages (Mensheviks and Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Mensheviks)). Feel free to revert this if necessary. EmSim15 (talk) 04:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split article 

message: Shouldn't this article display the Communism sidebar?

thread_title:  Communism sidebar?  Help me 

message: It's been many years, but my reading was that the group that we know as Mensheviks were actually in the majority at the time, and that Lenin, in his typical disregard for democracy, labeled his opposition menshevik and his own, lesser group bolshevik in spite of his own minority position.Every time Lenin would lose a vote, he's split from the alliance and announce his own group the only legitimate one.

thread_title:  Menshevik = minority?  

message: What is the difference between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks?. Is this a valid comparison? I mean this article is still obscure when it comes understanding its relationship between the Bolsheviks. Komitsuki (talk) 18:20, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Menshevik in a nutshell 

message: I'm struggling with one of the paragraphs. I'll paste the relevant part:
: This split in the party crippled the Mensheviks' popularity, and they received 3.2% of the vote during the Russian Constituent Assembly election in November 1917 compared to the Bolsheviks' 25% and the Socialist Revolutionaries' 57%. The Mensheviks got just 3.3% of the national vote, but in the Transcaucasus they got 30.2%. 41.7% of their support came from the Transcaucasus.
Question 1: The 3.2% and 3.3%. Are these definitely different counts? ie, "vote during the Russian Constituent Assembly election" is a different count from "of the national vote"? If not, please remove one of the duplicates.
Question 2: How is the 30.2% count different from the 41.7% count? Oh, hang on, I think I see this one now. However, it's jarring in the extreme and could be made a lot clearer, I feel. It would be good if someone could edit so that the sentences are not so hard to get one's head around. --bodnotbod (talk) 01:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difficulty making sense of some text. 

message: Why is this article separate from the Mensheviks one? This doesn't really make sense as there was mostly continuation. Not to mention there are 58 translations of the other page and only 2 of this one. The content of the Russian page includes all periods.  EmSim15 (talk) 04:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why the separate article? 

message: Discussion about merging Mensheviks and Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Mensheviks). I propose merging these two pages, or creating something else, in order to have a more easy to follow, concise, and comprehensive article on what menshevism is, what it stood for, and its history. This would also allow unity between the Russian and English pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmSim15 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
