Hello Charles. Would it be enough for now to make Capitalism As Power into a stub class? Janosabel (talk) 19:37, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Capital as Power

Hello again. Charles, there is a review of Capital as Power here https://capitalaspower.com/2022/01/owen-lynch-book-review-capital-as-power/

Under WP:UGC, that review is unlikely to be accepted as a reliable source. I have found a review by Salvador Santino Regilme that will be useful. Charles Matthews (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good! Thank you. Janosabel (talk) 10:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What more should I do to make this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Janosabel/sandbox#Capital_As_Power%E2%80%94A_Study_of_Order_and_Creorder into a Stub class entry?

At present it reads like an essay. WP:TONE says that "Articles and other encyclopedic content should be written in a formal tone". Below that, under WP:PRONOUN, it says "Articles should not be written from a first- or second-person perspective." So when you write "I", there is a problem.

What I saw in the review was a reference to the Cambridge capital controversy. This is helpful background. If Capital as Power builds on some positions taken in that controversy, there should be a way to explain the argument of the book more simply.

Thank you for adding references to the draft...

I leave it to you to submit when ready...

PS. I don't want to appear to be sitting back, but just can not understand Wikipedia editing jargon.

Still looking for a mentor for a newbie lesson in London. Posted in Teahouse, no offers yet. Janosabel (talk) 12:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I could recommend my own book (as co-author) wikibooks:How Wikipedia Works. It is Chapter 6 that explains how to start a new article: wikibooks:How Wikipedia Works/Chapter 6. I should comment that some people may think that "how to start a new article" should be Chapter 1, but really it is quite complicated.

That book is from 2009, and you can find it also as a PDF [1] which is in some ways better. There were in fact fewer acronyms in those days! Charles Matthews (talk) 12:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
