Entered the Polish language

[edit]

The phrase in Polish would be appropriately incorporated into the text.--Wetman (talk) 18:40, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried expanding on this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Political identity of L'Oeuvre

[edit]

I know a little, but not very much, about the Neo-Socialists, almost entirely from second- and third-hand sources in English. So I was curious to see whether L'Œuvre was overtly fascist or pro-fascist before the Occupation. The French Wikipédia article on L'Œuvre says that the journal, like Déat, supported the [anti-fascist] Popular Front in 1936, also that it began in 1904 as a Radical and pacifist journal, continuing a pacifistic line through World War I and into the 1930's. [During the Occupation, it and Marcel Déat were enthusiastically Collaborationist or positively Fascist.]

Of course, much opposition to anti-Fascist military intervention came not only from part of the French Left but from much of the nationalist French Right and from sympathisers with foreign Fascist régimes. Like Irondome and Piotrus, I think that, as with Déat, this must have became increasingly true of L'Œuvre as international tensions increased in tandem with Hitler's ambitions. But (1) I'm not sure exactly what position L'Œuvre occupied on the relevant French political spectrum in 1939, and (2) what would be the fairest and most informative label to describe that position. And, of course, (3) sources would be especially helpful here.—— Shakescene (talk) 18:42, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the paragraph "reality"

[edit]

Which was added by User:Kolakowski and removed now by User:Stryzix who wrote "This entire paragraph was opinionated and non factual.". I am not sure I agree on this para being opinionated and non-factual, but it is unreferenced (failure WP:V, WP:CITE) and reads a bit like an essay, so not in an encyclopedic style. I'd invite Kolakowski to rewrite it with sources, keeping in mind encyclopedias are places to summarize information, not develop new arguments or write essays. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:18, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
