Talk:Socialist Party of Florida/Archive 1

message: Assuming it isn't a copyvio, the SPoF's platform probably doesn't belong in the article, and should be moved to Wikisource.
Since I wrote parts of it and it is not copyrighted you should have no worries. Also being an officer of the SPF placed it for all to read. (Comraderedoctober 21:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed "using the "state" defining section of the 1997 Constitution of Socialist Party USA" as irrelevant and changed "reactivated" to "refounded" because the SPF wasn't inactive before then, it was non-existent. Chegitz guevara 15:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I doubt the party was formed in 1910 after it was taken over by Schactmanites, since they wouldn't exist for another 30 years.
The SPF is the grandchild so to speak of the orginial Soc. title which here started more around 1908. The sad thing is most of history when it comes to socialism is attacked and deleted. Even my profile was deleted and I am an officer of the SPF trying to record our history here even as it evolves. When I am gone there will be no one here with the records in hand to place the truth for history. I am soon to fix this even without wikipedia's help since the socialist have continued to be not only attacked by the outside political parties but from in fighting tendencies.

message: Is this an article about the Socialist Party of Florida, or an article by the Socialist Party of Florida?  I'm not so sure the platform should be in here; first, it makes this article nothing more than an electoral pamphlet, and second, there's really nothing else in the article.   --Deville (Talk) 02:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. Not much in this article is Wikipedia-quality except the infobox and introductory section (which needs to be rephrased). The platform is only of passing interest; we want to know about the history and the current situation of the party in Florida, not what it says it would do in the unlikely event that it controlled the legislature and governor's mansion. (By the way, I'm a Socialist Party supporter!...) QuartierLatin1968  22:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I happen to be a noob when coming here. I do plan over the summer to get more involved as time allows. I started a project to record all I can on the Socialist Party USA or at least the SPF. A personal friend of mine  is and author who has written many history books so with some input and a direction I will place what I can here. I leave it up to comrades to make the writing up to specs and feel free to ask questions. (Comraderedoctober 10:33, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV? 

message: The 2010 election is way too far off in the future to start listing candidates for it.  There's not really a clear line for deciding when listing such candidates becomes acceptable, but I think waiting until they start collecting ballot-access petition signatures is reasonable. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 14:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The Socialist Party of Florida has not voted to affiliate with the newly formed "Socialist Party of America" and remains the Florida affiliate of the Socialist Party USA One of the Socialist Party of Florida's officers who happens to control its website has undemocratically decided to modify the website to list it as a "Socialist Party of America" affiliate and then edited this Wikipedia entry to reflect this unauthorized change to the party's national affiliation. All of the changes recently made to this entry regarding its affiliation with the "Socialist Party of America" should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.93.4.113 (talk) 04:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Socialist Party of Florida is NOT Affiliated with the "Socialist Party of America" 

message: Using Comraderedoctober's measure of what makes something official or not, should we remove the listing for the 2006 candidate for governor, as Atlee Yarrow was not on the ballot, even as a possible write in candidate? I'm inclined to leave it, but as Comraderedoctober's a stickler for what the capitalist state thinks is legitimate and proper paperwork and all, we should remove it. I'll wait until others weigh in though. Chegitz guevara 15:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember seeing a legitimate campaign site at yarrowgovernor.org at the time, so even if he didn't get on the ballot, I'd be inclined to keep the listing in the article, so long as the SPFL did indeed endorse and support his candidacy. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 19:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: At the present time the SP-USA and SP-FL in conjunction with the National Committee are doing their best to rewrite or omit history and Atlee Yarrow is on top of the list to erase. Comraderedoctober 03:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You established the pattern. You are the one who continues to claim that only what is filed with the state is legitimate. Since you were not filed with the state as our gubernatorial candidate, by your own precedent and standards, you should not be listed. Or do your principles only apply when it is in your interests? If you stand by your actions, then you should remove that information. 67.191.87.181 15:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
