Talk:History of the Socialist Workers Party (Britain)

References

There's a box asking for references for this article. I suppose seeing as I wrote it that I ought to supply them. Trouble is that I'm crap on the tech front and some of the references are print only. A few in fact not in print but verbal. SO I'll add them when I can but someone else is going to have to wiki them or whatever is needed. Jock Haston

Print only is ok - but as much detail as possible would be handy. I'd suggest the easiest way to do the ref is to use Harvard style references in the text (e.g. Cliff, 2000) and add the reference itself at the bottom with as much info as possible (publisher, year, ISBN etc). Verbal are of course more tricky - are verbal references even approriate for this type of purpose? I am not sure myself. If you have any problems though do shout. You might also find it easier if you register for an account so you can watch pages and keep a record of your own contributions.--NHSavage 19:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Merge

why is this a seperate article to the main SWP one? There seems to be no point other than to allow for to different versions of the history to be on the wiki.

They should be merged.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Belboid (talk • contribs) 13 July 2006

Exit from RCP

The article says "This led to many former members of the RCP leaving politics in reaction to Healy's brutal regime..." but I seem to recall that Kuper's essay in the FI and the IS book explains that the division was agreed on both sides. --Duncan (talk) 08:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposal to change article title to History of the Socialist Workers Party (UK)

I see that the principal page is Socialist Workers Party (UK). UK is also used for the mainstream political parties in the UK. I cannot think of a good reason why this article title should be inconsistent with the principal article for the same organisation. Jontel (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
