Speedy deletion nomination of Future shock (book of Alvin Toffler)

Hello Valery Staricov,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Future shock (book of Alvin Toffler) for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Future Shock.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Howicus (talk) 17:15, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

There is no concrete information about contents of Toffler's book in the article "Future Shock". Therefore I decided to create separate article about this book with a statement of the contents of this book. Need I transfer contents of my article to the article "Future Shock"?

Hello, I'm Yintan. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Stroganov family, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Yintan  09:25, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I am the inexperienced user, instead of the vandal. I live in Russia in the settlement the Orel of the Usolsky district of the Perm province therefore I know this question very well. The settlement the Orel is Stroganov's former capital. There is a monument to Ermak Timofeevich in Orel. The Orel, Usolye and Solikamsk is Stroganov's former possession. Ermak went on a gain of Siberia from the settlement the Orel. Ermak floated to Siberia by the ships. Viking Rurik was the first governor in Russia. Vikings taught Russians to build the first ships, to trade on the rivers. Vikings based a kingdom in Russia and taught Russians to be at war.Valery Staricov (talk) 09:53, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Valery. I don't doubt the validity of Toynbee's law of challenge and response but you're plastering it all over the wiki, in every article about an ancient civilization or invention. That's a bit like linking to the law of Archimedes in every article about a ship (or anything else that floats). I agree, calling your edits vandalism is a bit strong, these templates are automatically generated. I've removed them. Kind regards,  Yintan  10:10, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

In my opinion. the Toynbee's law of a challenge and response is the such great law, as laws of Newton or Archimedes. It is possible to apply Toynbee's Law to any civilization. It not I, but Toynbee applied his low to 21 civilizations. And I stated contents of this law clearly, laconically and interestingly. I formulated idea about 4 great English inventions. If you don't accept this my idea that you can delite this my idea as original research, but it isn't necessary to delete Toynbee's ideas in the previous text.Valery Staricov (talk) 13:14, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Toynbee's law of challenge and response

The article Toynbee's law of challenge and response has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references. This has been here, and substantially worked upon, for a week now. If it's an eponymous law, it ought to be very easily sourceable to its author. In its absence, I have to start suspecting if this is even genuine.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I have in the home library the Russian edition of the book of Toynbee "Сomprehension of history " therefore I use Russian edition in Wikipedia. I specified the name of the Russian edition in "Main Works". It doesn't make sense to give references to the Russian edition of book Toynbee in English Wikipedia. It is difficult for me to give references on the English edition of book Toynbee in English Wikipedia. I will try to give the addition to the article Arnold J.

Yes, I have poorer English skills. But I try to improve the skill of translation from Russian into English and you can help me with skill of transfer. This my article "Democracy and Totalitarianism" (Raymond Aron's book) is published in the Russian Wikipedia https://ru.wiki.x.io/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B8_%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BC Maybe someone from participants of English Wikipedia will be able to help me to translate this article from Russian into English? And I translate from Russian into English as I am able. I am Russian. I have no edition in English Aron's book therefore I used the edition in Russian Aron's books. It it is impossible for me to give references and quotes from the edition in English. Certainly, I can provide quotes and references from the edition in Russian, but it doesn't make sense in English Wikipedia. If somebody give to me the reference to the English-language edition of the book of Aron, I will be able to give quotes and references in the text of my article on the English-language edition of the book of Aron. My article is the best secondary source, therefore I lean on primary source only.Valery Staricov (talk) 15:15, 4 September 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valery Staricov (talk • contribs) 15:05, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I answered this on Talk:Democracy and Totalitarianism (book); Cheers, Lindsay^Hello 17:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Lindsay! Certainly I didn't take offense, I am simply happy that I have opportunity to publish the articles in English Wikipedia. I am 55 years old. I lived in conditions of the Soviet censorship before 33 years old. I lived all my life in Northern Ural (The Perm province), and Northern Ural was a prison country in Soviet Union. I graduated philosophy faculty of the Ural's university in 1985. I talked and didn't see British and Americans almost never therefore British and Americans are similar to aliens for me. I studied English only according to dictionaries and textbooks 40 years. If you improve my English text, I will be simply happy. I have about 15 original articles in the Russian Wikipedia. I want to translate them into English and to place them in English Wikipedia.

Aron's book is the first Bible of anti-marxism. The Russian Marxists pretend still that this book doesn't exist or this book is subject to criticism. Therefore there are no good secondary sources in Russian about Aron's book. Marxists wanted to delite my article about Aron's book even on the Russian Wikipedia.

The second Bible of anti-marxism is a book Charles Popper "Open society and its enemies". I want to add my text to article in English Wikipedia on this subject by means of a statement of the contents of this book in the near future. And then I want to place this article about Popper's book in the Russian Wikipedia as Marxists delited my article about Popper's book recently. English Wikipedia is an authoritative source for authors of the Russian Wikipedia. I want to win Marxists on the Russian Wikipedia with help of articles about book of Aron and Popper.

Proposed deletion of Sociology of revolution

The article Sociology of revolution has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced essay-style article, which does not establish the notability of this book. Possibly merge with article on the author, Pitirim Sorokin

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RolandR (talk) 09:57, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I write such, as I am able. If you decide to delite this my article, that it is your right. If there were no articles about Sociology of revolution in English Wikipedia before me, it means that nobody could state this theory better than I. And I wash my hands.

Value of the book of Sorokin "Sociology of Revolution" consists in the following. The Russian people paid the huge price for October revolution and communistic experiment. Millions of people were lost in Russia because of October revolution and communistic experiment. Revolution and socialism shouldn't repeat in Russia in the future. Sorokin's opinion about value of revolution is stated in a question "Is Revolution good or bad? ". Sorokin considered that revolution is severe social illness, which can lead to death of social organism suddenly, that revolution is the worse method of an improvement of the life of masses. I have nothing to add to it. Theory of Sorokin about sociology revolution refutes theory of Lenin and modern marxism.Valery Staricov (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Do I have to merge itself own article "Sociology of revolution" with article "Pitirim Sorokin"? I am ready to make it. But my article "Sociology of Revolution" has too large volume. I am ready to add in the article "Pitirim Sorokin" a statement of the contents of Sorokin's book "Social and Cultural Mobility" even. These two theories of Sorokin are great theories which are underestimated in the American sociology. For example, there is no mention of these theories and name of Sorokin in modern American textbooks on sociology of such authors, as Neil Smelser and John J. Macionis. Do Americans respect Sorokin or not? Though Sorokin was the President of the American Sociological Association. In my opinion, Sorokin's third theory (Socio-cultural dynamics) is a delirium therefore I don't want to state this third theory of Sorokin in the article "Pitirim Sorokin". If you consider that my style of compositions is bad, that you need to look for other author who will be able to improve my bad style as I know English badly and I cann't improve my style.Valery Staricov (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Re

Hi, Valery. You posted on my talk page a message concerning problems in your translation of Discipline and Punish. The point is that the corresponding Russian article you are now trying to translate has serious problems with readability and coherence. I could not have translated it better than you did. So let FiachraByrne do what he’d like to. It is useless for non-English speakers to argue with native English speakers about the level of English in wikiarticles.
