Cleanup drive[edit]
Here is the full list of anarchism articles in need of cleanup. Below is a subset for focus during the cleanup drive. Strike out completed items with
{{s}}
and we'll add more sections as we go.Biographies of living persons (10)
- These articles have any cleanup tag but are high priority because we hold biographies on living people to a higher standard
Unsourced passages need footnotes {{citation needed}} (69)
- Search for the passages tagged with
{{citation needed}}
and either (a) add a source and remove the tag, or (b) remove the passage and the tag if it cannot be verified

Our cleanup backlog has grown since the last drive, so thought we could kickoff another push for the month of May. There are currently 228 articles tagged in total with 386 tagged issues. Can we get it down to zero?
For a place to start, I thought biographies of living people (BLPs) and articles in need of citations would be good. To cross off finished items from the list, there is a link above to edit the section (so as not to bother watchers of this page). Open to any other ideas here as well to make it interesting. Perhaps we should set up a mailing list for editors who have participated in the project previously?
If this is your first time participating in a cleanup drive on Wikipedia, (1) you're invited to be bold and try your best to resolve cleanup issues, and (2) if you have any questions or need a hand, please respond below and someone will help! czar 14:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oof, there is a lot of work to do on some of these articles. Some should be simple enough to fix but damn, others have much deeper problems that I'm not sure simply addressing the CN tags will solve. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Addressing the
{{citation needed}}
tags is enough to remove it from this list but if an article needs more support, feel free to bring it to discussion so others can chip in too. czar 03:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC) - Well, we can't fix everything all at once. It's a work in progress. As much as I'd like to fix everything everywhere, as long as we don't have falsehoods or policy violations hanging around... it's ok that some things are a bit crap. -- asilvering (talk) 03:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Czar: Hey, we seem to have gone way over the limit of templates on one page, which I think has come down to both the cleanup drive transclusion and the recent literature transclusion having introduced a lot more than the page can handle. I manually archived a section and removed a bunch of templates from another, but this problem still persists. I think we may need to consider that striking every resolved entry, rather than simply removing it from the list, is causing problems of its own. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:43, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ok no, after doing a bunch of archivals and changes, then just fiddling around with removing random hings, I identified the newly-added "Recent stubs" template as the source of the problem. I have temporarily removed it, just so the entire page doesn't break. We need to figure out what went wrong with it before we add it back in. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- There is a backlog drive for sourcing unsourced statements starting tomorrow, which can be a good reason for finishing our above
{{citation needed}}
list. :) - Also nice work on sourcing List of self-managed social centers, @Graveyardpansy! czar 11:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ooh we're close to finishing this one off! Don't know how much time I can spend on this area this month, as my attentions are focused on the Women in Green edit-a-thon, but I hope we'll be able to address these last few before the end of the unsourced statements drive. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 09:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Roll call?[edit]
Hi everyone. It feels like this noticeboard has never been as active as it has been these past few months, with collective drives to cleanup articles, expand stub and create new articles, as well as discussions on other parts of the project. But it's also worth noting that, while discussion is active, it's limited to only a few of us. This is in contrast to the dozens of people in our participants list and who have identified themselves as members with userboxes. I was wondering if, in light of more recent collective action, it would be useful for us to do a roll call of participants. Maybe either a mass ping of listed participants or dedicated talk page messages asking if they would be interested in more closely collaborative participation? --Grnrchst (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm in favor of sending a one-time message to editors on that participants list and to those who have received a welcome/invite message about this noticeboard. They might not know about recent activity and would want to join in. My suggestion would be that we deprecate the "Participants" list afterwards, as it quickly goes out of date and doesn't necessarily indicate activity. (There used to be a bot that would create an active participant list but it's dead.) Instead, we can create an opt-in mailing list for those who want updates about coordinated efforts, like edit drives or newsletters related to the project. I'll create Wikipedia:WikiProject Anarchism/Subscribe if that sounds good. czar 13:32, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- @czar, do you know anything about why it's dead? I guess what I'm wondering here is whether it's something broken that will take a lot of work to fix, or whether it needs someone to adopt it and perform some comparatively minor fixes. Sorry if I've asked before. I have a feeling I did but can't remember the answer. -- asilvering (talk) 03:25, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Asilvering, the bot's maintainer, @Harej, hasn't answered questions about it in a while. My understanding is that there was some funding for the Wikipedia:WikiProject X initiative and eventually it was mothballed. It's a shame because this bot was one of the more generally useful features and ultimately had little to do with the WikiProject X features. In any event, maintaining a mailing list is, to my eyes, even more generally useful than a participant list. czar 03:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've sent out a talk page message to users in the members list/category that haven't been recent participants either in the subject area or in the project. For people that have been active in the subject area, but not on the noticeboard or the project's collective efforts, I've sent a more personalised message. Also, I left off regular participants on the message board, for obvious reasons. In the category, I ended up doing some cleanup, as almost half of the users were inactive, some for over a decade, some had even been blocked.
- Am hoping the messages stimulate some additional activity, but at the very least, it's nice to be able to inform people about what we've been doing. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! It's a nice message. Inactive (unblocked) users might still be worth contacting even if they don't participate often, as sometimes they come back. czar 21:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- If anyone wants to coordinate a project revival, participation drive, or reorientation, then doing an interview for The Signpost is an established media channel for that. Past interviews are listed at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Series/WikiProject_report and other resources for doing this are at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Resources#WikiProject_report. This WikiProject has never done an interview in that venue. It would be more ambitious than just a roll call, but if there were an interview, then sharing the interview at the time of the roll call could be a way to get registered but disengaged users more excited. I am an editor for The Signpost and can help with some of this but I would not submit content for any interview. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:23, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Bluerasberry, would you be open to conducting the interview? czar 03:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I could conduct an interview. I probably need till June or July, but here is a template with some questions to get started.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anarchism/signpost_2024
- Coordinate some basic information into this, and then I will come up with some more targeted questions. When we have some content then I will bring this into Signpost's editorial process. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

My citogenesis report[edit]
So after probably too long of this sitting in my drafts, I finally managed to put together a report on the "Free Territory" citogenesis incident and The Commoner agreed to publish it. A lot of this is old news on here, but if you're interested in reading: "We Carry a Free Territory in Our Hearts" --Grnrchst (talk) 08:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Very, very interesting summary. I noted the problems with the Makhno movement's flag before, but I didn't realize that even the term free territory itself was anachronistic. Nice work, Grnrchst! ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 13:12, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Great story! Very readable. czar 14:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- I actually already knew about the most widely-known flag being technically incorrect and the name "Free Territory" originating from Wikipedia, but I didn't realize that it was that transient as a political area. Iostn (talk) 22:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes same lostn! I assumed the zone Makhno's forces controlled lasted for longer. Nice one Grnrchst, I stumbled across the article on patreon and was like hang on a minute this must be you know who! I wasn't sure if you wanted it linked to your wiki identity or not (even if it would be fairly easy to connect) but since you've let the cat out of the bag already that's ok :) Mujinga (talk) 10:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
