Hi. I was wondering if you know much about Jewish anarchism in Germany, particularly post-war Germany. I'm trying to improve content relating to the post-war Jewish left in Germany. Thank you for your time. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 11:10, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bohemian Baltimore, unfortunately not in particular. I have a copy of Carlson's Anarchism in Germany, which doesn't emphasize Jewish participation in the movement. There are a few mentions of Germany in the recent compendium With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism (pp. 11, 22, 31): that fascist Germany banned Esperanto and of socialism in Berlin in the time of Johann Most. There are a few other mentions in that first chapter on Johann Most that might be interesting but not what you're looking for.

I recommend browsing the WorldCat subject headings su:Anarchism Germany and su:Anarchism Germany History for more. Most likely you'll need to search using Germany words in the German language (Jüdischer Anarchismus Deutschland) to find local histories that have not been translated into English. czar 16:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bohemian Baltimore I’m reading through this now. Rudolph Rocker was not Jewish but was very influential in Jewish anarchism in Germany and their nexus of influences ie Buenos Aires, London and New York. I would be happy to collaborate further with you on a task list. Post war Jewish radicals were fewer for obvious reasons but plenty in SED leadership and trade unions ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 16:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Czar, hope you're doing well. I know it's appropriate to include citations for lists of works on author pages. Is it okay to cite the book itself as evidence for its existence? That seems circular. Thanks, Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! In articles on authors, "Selected works" section style is pretty lax, in my experience. Generally it's fine to use the title and date (and optionally, the publisher and ISBN identifier, or even an external link if open access). Including the ISBN or OCLC number is, to my eyes anyway, tantamount to a primary source citation because anyone can look up the work using the identifier. Sometimes, if it's a list of essays or non-books, it can be fine to just use citation templates directly in the section. I agree that it's duplicative to cite the book itself unless it's truly referencing the book. My personal preference is to cite book reviews so it verifies the bibliographic material while providing helpful context for the reader. Hope you're doing well too! czar 01:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, I will pass it along to my student. Actually, my Wikipedia work has become something of a dumpster fire! I'm trying to find ways I can contribute productively. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
