Vietnam Book

I compiled a book, written by 59 Vietnam Veterans. I’m getting low on them. Do you print, bind and ship books? I can get all the layouts. The price I’m paying is far too much. I saw Lomez on tv a while ago. I hope you can help me. Thank you. Gary Gullickson Sgt.USMC 67-70 Vietnam Veteran. 97.91.91.76 (talk) 19:19, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to contact Passage Press themselves -- this is a Wikipedia page, unaffiliated with the publisher. Here is their contact page. Havoc Crow (talk) 22:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keeperman, own page?

There was an article used as a source in this page that emphasized the founder, Jonathan Keeperman, although the publishing house is more significant. Opening up section if others have thoughts on if the founder warrants a separate page or not - I made a redirect to here for now. The person-focused coverage may just be short-term/tabloid/human interest, but I could also see it being helpful to have information about publishers of high-interest works (particularly classics such as Junger and Joseph Conrad) Bluetik (talk) 14:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“New Right” not “Far Right”

Per my note in a recent edit The Guardian describes, in the first sentence of the article: ‘ prominent “new right” publishing house Passage Press’

I also think the term “new right” is specifically helpful, given the organizations distinction of being close to internet culture.

I lastly think the term “far right” is specifically unhelpful, given that it is a blanket term and includes groups as fringe as violent terrorists.[1]

Even if none of those three things were true, and I don’t know how Wikipedia considers this, but in the article, the author, Jason Wilson, describes Ernst Jünger as a “radical German Nationalist” which per his page would be pretty unsupported, and seems to indicate perhaps a tendency to typify ideology as more extremely right wing than consensus has found. Not sure if this is as relevant as previous points, though.

Happy and interested to discuss. Bluetik (talk) 01:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreeing with the New right label. It's broad enough. Biohistorian15 (talk) 08:43, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reflord I opened a talk section for this. The source literally says “new right.” Bluetik (talk) 19:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluetik the source is quoting Passage itself when it calls it "new right", but when it describes it independently, it also literally describes it as "far-right" ("Like many other far-right publishers, "). as a compromise, I'd be happy to say that it has been described as far-right by a variety of news sources or something like that (in fact, basically every independent source that talks about Passage in depth?) Reflord (talk) 22:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both descriptions appear to be DUE from the cited RS. I added "far-right" to the first sentence and also kept "new right" in it. Llll5032 (talk) 08:23, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+1 for new right, agree with reasoning from both Biohistorian15 and Bluetik Total Information Awareness (talk) 23:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Passage Publishing → Jonathan Keeperman – More of a rescoping than a move. Passage Publishing does not really fulfill our more stringent NCORP guidelines, however its founder, Keeperman, fulfills NBASIC. This is an attempt to resolve the notability issue, as I strongly think this article should exist in some form - and most of the articles that talk about Passage Press are really about Keeperman. If the sourcing existed I would prefer it the other way around, but alas. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
