Red Terror in Spain(1920-1939)

Red Terror happened in Spain as well. Socialist & Communist party attack Catholic Church and killing a los of woman and children. Doring the fake Republic, no freedom, no law. Left party kill anarchist as well. Horrible. this was one of the reassons for the spanish civil war. 45.64.242.237 (talk) 06:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added WP:FRINGE

The content in this article makes extensive use of the far-right fringe source The Black Book of Communism so I have added the fringe template. In some cases the source is made explicit (e.g., "According to The Black Book..."), but in many other places is used without this kind of attribution. It might be more appropriate to use a template like Template:Better source needed or something. I'll leave it to the suits in Langley to decide. 2600:1700:3EC7:4150:F1CA:C308:65BD:DD8D (talk) 08:48, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The weight lies on you to prove (using reliable sources) that The Black Book of Communism is indeed a "far-right fringe source" when nowhere in the article is it described as such. I also find hard to believe that Harvard University Press would publish "far-right" fringe theories, therefore I've reverted your addition of WP:FRINGE as poorly argued, however you're still welcome to add appropriate attributions in text ("According to The Black Book..."). –Turaids (talk) 21:33, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
