Talk:Anna Louise Strong

message: Is the word "covert" in the following revision by Nobs01 POV? Thanks. She is best known for her coverage of, and, often, covert support for, communist movements in Russia and China, ~ Dpr 1 July 2005 02:00 (UTC)
:Well, she is named in the Venona project as an American who had a covert relationship with Soviet intellignece. Nobs01 1 July 2005 02:10 (UTC)
::Factually, it seems you're right--but no matter how you slice it, I'd wager that we may get some accusations of POV. It's tough to be accurate yet sensitive enough... ~ Dpr 1 July 2005 04:41 (UTC)
:It doesn't have to be in the opening, so long as there is fair treatment of the subject. I guess I was seeing if anyone was actually watching the page. Thanks. Nobs01 1 July 2005 04:56 (UTC)
I've removed the "Soviet Spy" category. Being mentioned in a Venona project transcript does not make one a spy. She was arrested by the Soviets and charged with espionage which should be a clue. --Lee Hunter 18:30, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Being arrest by the Soviets, etc. does not dilute earlier complicity. In fact, many such loyal subjects of the ideological cause were purged in the Doctors Plot, about the same time as what is commonly refered to as the "McCarthy" period in the United States. Another such example remained in a Hungarian prison until 1962, charged as a CIA spy, but never swerved from his idealogical commitment to Communism and the Soviet Union. Numerous other examples can be cited. Many of these, like Strong, ended up in Maoist China. nobs 18:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with this perspective. The passage struck me as special arguing and I've deleted it leaving the question of her purported espionage efforts wide open, where it should be. Carrite (talk) 01:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: POV?

message: I'm removing the reference to "The Hungarian Tragedy " from the works because I can find no evidence that she wrote anything with that title or on that subject. I think somebody's got confused with the book by Peter Fryer. If I'm wrong, please supply a source. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 17:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The Hungarian Tragedy " 

message: Really poor sourcing here. Somebody needs to spend a day laying in the footnotes... Carrite (talk) 02:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Decent article, but where are the footnotes?

message: Very POV, to the extent a neutrality infobox is warranted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.233.144.72 (talk) 05:53, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The status of the death and legacy section is problematic 

message: I have tentatively removed this list of primary sources, since it seems out of place in the "further reading" section, and I'm not sure where else to put it. I can't think why it would be of interest or use to readers of a wiki entry - only to specialists. Fyddlestix (talk) 03:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of Archives 

message: By 1966, Strong had become an "honorary member of the Red Guards" who returned to the Soviet Union from time to time.[3][8][9] 
Does anyone have any idea what this sentence means? Cloudtrapezer (talk) 19:59, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd sentence about Red Guards and Soviet Union 

message: With reference to her recall from the Seattle School Board: the article says that "After [her 1918 defense of Louise Olivereau], Strong's fellow school board members were quick to launch a recall campaign against her," but the editorial spanning :File:The Town Crier, v.12, no.48, Dec. 1, 1917 - DPLA - a185b1f9bf1f9d6947da193ea478bbb9 (page 5).jpg and :File:The Town Crier, v.12, no.48, Dec. 1, 1917 - DPLA - a185b1f9bf1f9d6947da193ea478bbb9 (page 5).jpg shows that the recall effort was already under way at the beginning of December 1917. - Jmabel | Talk 19:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronology 

message: "At the same time, she created 'suspicion regarding her political loyalties' among the Soviets and the FBI who gained a large file on Strong herself." I really can't make sense of this. The Soviets and the FBI "gained" the same file? And what does it mean to "gain" a file? The only sense I could make of that verb is if somehow via espionage one of them obtained the file from the other. But if that were the case, surely it would be elaborated in the article. What does this sentence intend to say? - Jmabel | Talk 19:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd wording 

message: Many of these names are not referenced in the article and the relationships are a complete question mark?  Is Tracy Strong related to Anna Louise Strong? I have no idea, because the article doesn't say.  See also should state the why these other people/articles are see also.  Otherwise, its just a random list of names/articles with no relation no to the article itself. 24.56.228.59 (talk) 07:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why are these random people in the see also links?
