Talk:Tragic Week (Argentina)

Aftermath?

I have just deleted the following, which was sub-headed "Aftermath", except it was many years later and does not seem directly releveant to this article to me.

On 24 December 1927, anarchists planted bombs at two U.S. bank branches in Buenos Aires resulting in the multiple injuries of twenty bank staff and customers.The Italian Consulate in Buenos Aires was bombed on 23 May 1928 and seven were killed and nearly 50 wounded in the anarchist bombing.On 24 December 1929, 44-year-old Italian-born anarchist Gualterio Marinelli was killed in his attempt to assassinate Argentine president Hipólito Yrigoyen but he manages to wound two policemen.On September 6, 1930, Yrigoyen was deposed in a military coup led by General José Félix Uriburu. The Uriburu regime shut down Anarchist and Communist presses and made it difficult, if not impossible, for anarchists to spread their ideals.Nevertheless, on 20 January 1931, three anarchist bombs went off at three strategic places on the Buenos Aires railway network, killing 3 and wounding 17.

Yes that deletion seems to make sense to me. It's possible that these events were more closely tied to Tragic Week than it appears, but if this is so it would need to be demonstrated I think. Herostratus (talk) 06:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I am restoring deleted information for the Radical government was blamed for the influence that the socialist and anarchist movements had in the unions that culminated in the "Tragic Week" and President Yrigoyen bore the blame when the military leaders made the decision to remove him in a coup. In his manifesto, the coup leader, General Uriburu claimed that, while the provisional Government will respect the constitution, it intended to put an end to the "inertia, administrative corruption, anarchy, economic waste, and international discredit" of that period. Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard hits the nail in the head in her book Revolutionizing Motherhood: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo when she writes, "The anarchists included leaders like Gori Maletestsa, who inculcated the labor unions with ideas of communal anarchism from Russia before being crushed by General Jose Uriburu's government in the 1930s."--Carnevaron (talk) 23:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Point of view (events of December 1918)

The article in its current version states that "The strike at first attracted no attention, but on 3 January the picketing workers fired on and wounded three policemen who were escorting wagonloads of metal to the Vasena factory". However in the Spanish version much more context is provided including the events of December which mention acts of violence by the police earlier and deaths also earlier than 3 January.

I am adding the "POV" template besides the (already existing) "expansion from Spanish" template because some of the content that's missing affects the POV of the article. Michalis Vazaios (talk) 18:33, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@Michalis Vazaios: Wow, I hadn't come across this article until today and you're completely right. This article is a mess of non-neutral statements in Wikivoice. I would support WP:TNT if this can't be easily rectified. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:33, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

@Grnrchst I hadn't heard of the WP:TNT option before, but it seems like a good solution. And there is always the Spanish Wikipedia article to help in re-creating the article. Michalis Vazaios (talk) 12:21, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

 Done. Also the Spanish Wikipedia article is mostly unsourced, so I would not recommend using it the basis for translation. For what it's worth, a lot of this TNT'd article can likely be restored with added context and sourcing but given that it's sat for a year with no action, better to address the POV issue than to let it linger. czar 16:46, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
