thread_title: [Untitled]

message: Hi there. I think today's edit is misleading. It suggests that Socialists previously opposed imperialist wars, but did take sides in the Second World War because of the threat of physical extermination of the labour movement. That is not the Trotskyist position, and was not the basis of the PMP. The PMP argues that socialists should go with the call up in order to stay close to the workers - and not as a way to taking sides against the threat of fascism. The PMP, after all, was endorsed while the USSR was in a block with Hitler. --Duncan (talk) 14:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Duncan, sorry but you're missing/misunderstanding the point here.  The 'new policy' as Cannon called it, as opposed to the 'old policy' which he referred to as 'left anti-militarism' in his 1940 Chicago speech, was not 'that socialists should go with the call up in order to stay close to the workers'.  The opponents of the PMP such as the Shachmanites in the US and the RSL in Britain agreed with that policy and went with the class into the armed forces to carry it out, with some success in Egypt and Italy as I'm sure you know.  Their disagreement with their comrades in the SWP/WIL was whether raising the demands for state funding of trade union miltary funding etc was class collaborationist, a concession to Allied propaganda rather than an attempt to transform the imperialist war into a revolutionary one.Haldraper (talk) 07:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Legacy of Muslim Rule in India

message: As explained  here this was deleted in the article by  long time ago. Could the reason please be explained, since the deletion without explanation is vandalism?
*  They only destroyed the existing ones at Sarnath, Vaishali, Odantapuri, Nalanda, Vikramshila etc. to which thousands of scholars from all over India and Asia used to seek admission. Thus, with the coming of Muslims, India ceased to be a centre of higher Hindu and Buddhist learning for Asians. The Muslims did not set up even Muslim institutions of higher learning. Their maktabs and madrasas catered just for repetitive, conservative and orthodox schooling. There was little original thinking, little growth of knowledge as such."

thread_title:  Not to mention... 

message: There are no multiple sources that describe Malik Ambar as the same in every picture. His picture keeps varying. Artists have drawn him differently on a number of occasions. And that paper where I have cited the source does not show Jehangir, one can easily make out the difference. The picture of Malik Ambar was published in a highly reputed newspaper like Times of India and they know if they post the wrong picture they might be dragged to the court, so it is quite obvious that the writer and the editor published the picture only after consulting the Historians and researching thoroughly.

Talk:Monticello Township, Johnson County, Kansas

message: During Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area skirmishes between Kansas and Missouri raiders, the jumping off points for emigrant wagon trains shifted north from Gardner, Kansas.

Over 350 signs were placed on local roadways at (Kansas Territory land survey section lines) where the trails crossed.

Talk:John B. Bachelder

message: I've come from Abraham Lincoln, where for the past year or so Cathytreks has been waging a war against all reason to have her "Lincoln death photo" instated as fact, despite overwhelming evidence that it is not what she claims it is. At best, she is misguided; at worst, she is maliciously distorting the truth. When she failed to have her agenda accepted there, it seems she came here. While her interest in Mr. Bachelder is admirable and her editions here appreciated, I would call into question her good faith, and closely scrutinize her information. I see no reason why she should just make stuff up about John B. Bachelder, but then again, she seems to be making stuff up about this purported photograph. It was decided in Lincoln that references to said photograph had no place there, and they have no place here, either. They simply have no basis in verifiable fact. --LonelyPilgrim 19:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good faith... except, maybe, for your habit of making up your own facts.  For example, Ostendorf died in 2000 so there is no 2004 edition of his book.
