October 3 General Strike

The general strike proposal was originally put forward by the anarcho-syndicalist CGT and CNT along with some smaller anarchist groups - not the CCOO who endorsed it just recently, as did the UGT. It was also originally proposed with a neutral view towards independence and primarily as a response to the repression of the Spanish government.

Mass removal of content

I had to revert this edit, a sweeping mass removal of sourced content, which comes across as irregular. Please bring your claims and concerns here. Iñaki LL (talk) 20:39, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

This should have been here in the first place, and not in the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 01:13, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, no. A mass removal of sourced information in a highly polarized article does not look very constructive, which is concern enough. If you have doubts, act constructively and point out the exact problems. Iñaki LL (talk) 08:01, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

To start with, a mass addition of POV text to a highly contentions article does not good, and was predictably reverted. --Ymblanter (talk) 08:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Well, POV is being added continually, as stated in the tag at the top, so do point to exact problems in this excerpt, I am clueless. Iñaki LL (talk) 08:13, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

May be you should read WP:BRD--Ymblanter (talk) 08:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I did. Still someone has mass removed sourced information. I should think there are problems w some sources, but not sure about it. You can enlighten me. Iñaki LL (talk) 09:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I hoped that with 1o years tenure and 9K edits you should know better if one can write "Spanish government started a mass propaganda campaign" unattributed. If you do not understand this, I suggest you take the case to a general board.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Although https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Ymblanter and other Spanish unionist may feel uncomfortable, the accusation of "Spanish government started a mass propaganda campaign" is well-grounded. Let me show you some evidences: Edgarmm81 (talk) 18:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for signing your post Edgarmm81. For all the sympathies I may have for your claims and information, Misplaced Pages has its own protocole and rules, please read this, for one. The Spanish govt may have started a campaign you pointed above, but if you do not add sources clearly pointing in that direction, someone may come and dispute it. Do use the relevant statements and references you added within the article's mainspace, in the right place, and present them in a balanced way. They are more likely to remain there. Iñaki LL (talk) 23:52, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks https://en.wikipedia.org/User:I%C3%B1aki_LL. I gathered those 25 points after thorough analysis and, also, I attached the references. However, if you need a newspaper saying that, I do not have it as it is a work of me.

Btw, I do not know where I should write now. Here? In the "edit"? Or in the "Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents"? I have added another point by editing in "Social media" and I have also written in the latter, in the heading "Edgarmm81"... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edgarmm81 (talk • contribs) 00:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

I am very amazed that a veteran Misplaced Pages editor may consider these edits as correct: referenced with Twitter messages, written as original research, etc.; and that refers to my edit as "mass removal of sourced content".

The edits by Edgarmm81 were at least violating WP:RS, WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH (and without going to assess their lack of interest in formatting the references). We have to be continually fixing their mistakes / biased edits. We are having a lot of patience, but It is logical that, after so many edits and so long warning this user, we choose to revert. This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid newspaper nor a propaganda platform.

In spite of everything, I have taken the trouble to review and preserve part of the content (once again...). Explanations on the edit summaries.

Please, Edgarmm81, do not make us lose more time and apply the Misplaced Pages policies. Thanks. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 02:47, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

REMOVE INACCURATE POINTS

Edgarmm81 (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Please, proceed to remove the inaccurate points, as I have requested it several times and nobody did it.

1) With reference to the woman who had all the finger broken, one by one, Ms Marta Torrecillas, she took her accusation back on the following day. The concept "investigation" is false.

So, please, remove or re-write the following quotation:

"A Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) councillor accused the police deliberately breaking her fingers one by one and of sexual abuse during a polling station evacuation, but later investigation disproved these statements."

2) Regarding the introduction, the whole paragraph does not make sense:

"On the day of the referendum, the inaction of the autonomous police force of Catalonia, the Mossos d'Esquadra, allowed polling stations to open. The National Police Corps and the Guardia Civil intervened and raided polling stations after they opened. 893 civilians and 431 agents of the Nacional Police and the Guardia Civil were reported to have been injured initially. According to various sources these previously reported figures may have been exaggerated. According to the judge from Barcelona that is currently investigating the accusations of police violence there were 218 persons injured on that day, 20 of which were agents. The final official numbers by the Catalan government show that 1066 civilians and 11 agents of the National Police and the Guardia Civil, and 1 from the regional police the Mossos d'Esquadra were injured."

a) In connection with "The inaction of the autonomous police force of Catalonia, the Mossos d'Esquadra": that is simply false, but the Spanish Government spread that idea. In fact, it is believed Mossos d'Esquadra confiscated twice the amount of ballot boxes that the Spanish Policia Nacional did. . Besides, the Catalan police assured that Spanish police did not honour the coordination agreements and the Public Prosecutor commanded local police to confiscate ballot boxes, too.

b) "893 civilians and 431 agents of the Nacional Police and the Guardia Civil were reported to have been injured initially. According to various sources these previously reported figures may have been exaggerated. According to the judge from Barcelona that is currently investigating the accusations of police violence there were 218 persons injured on that day, 20 of which were agents. The final official numbers by the Catalan government show that 1066 civilians and 11 agents of the National Police and the Guardia Civil, and 1 from the regional police the Mossos d'Esquadra were injured.". According to the only official report (the ones released by the Catalan Health Service), there were 1,066 civilian and 12 policemen wounded (not 431). Furthermore, the idea of 431 policemen wounded is completely flaw because:

• The amount (431) was artifically inflated overnight (from 39, but no extra incident was registered that night) • This amount has never been contrasted. • No clinical report released, except for the Catalan Health Service that indicates just 11 policemen wounded. • Although antiriot police is equipped with GoPro camera, no visual evidence has been released of that extreme violence • There are no amateur videos suggesting wounded antiriot policemen or fierce violence; on the other hand, the videos show peaceful voters • It is unlikely that a ratio 1 policemen wounded out of 2 civilian would not imply a police reinforcement or a modification of the strategy. • No further consequence, no Chief policemen resignation or fired as a result of that allegedly bad planning and/or execution. • Neither army nor extra police reinforcement deployed the following day.
