Talk:Aleksander Wat

recent edits

This one, the one with the obnoxious (and false) edit summary. Here's the source:

"Wat turned away from Communism after his imprisonment by the Soviet secret police and became a vociferous spokesman for democracy. "

Note it says "spokesman for democracy". It does not say "opponent of communism".

Let's stick to what sources say rather than weaseling it.Volunteer Marek (talk) 03:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Then let's get the whole quote right; "[he] turned away from Communism after his imprisonment by the Soviet secret police and became a vociferous spokesman for democracy." Quis separabit? 03:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

We also need to paraphrase to avoid WP:COPYVIO. Right now we have a reasonable paraphrase.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Or in other words, why quote when we can paraphrase? What exactly was wrong with the original wording? Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't think WP:COPYVIO applies to 20 clearly quotated and cited words. Quis separabit? 04:21, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok, but why quote when we can paraphrase? What exactly was wrong with the original wording? Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
