URGENT: People's Cube can be deleted from Wikipedia, HELP!

User avatar
Update:

1/9/2017 - The People's Cube entry has just been deleted from Wikipedia. First the Wiki-prog-editors defaced it by removing all the valid content and references, leaving only disparaging language. Then they voted to delete it altogether because there was no valid content and references left.

Congratulations, comrades. We are now officially a non-site populated by non-persons sharing non-thoughts and making non-jokes. Right now I feel pretty much the way I felt while living in the USSR where an invisible hand obstructed any of my efforts to manifest my existence.

I know it's only Wikipedia and we still have our site, but this is a trend typical of Google and social media, let alone the MSM.

Image
1/9/2017 - The content is being constantly changed by the invisible Wiki-commissars. Just yesterday a more or less acceptable balance was achieved after a long and tedious tug of war. But last night almost all of the content and references were gone except for a couple of biased and disparaging paragraphs. This looks like vandalism. These "changes" were followed by a series of new "delete" votes on the discussion thread based on the lack of content and third-party sources - all of which they themselves had just removed.

If I had time I'd write a parody about these guys editing the Solzhenitsyn page, rephrasing and deleting everything until the only content left was the line, "Ex-convict, traitor to the Motherland, wrote anti-communist lies." And then even that line would be deleted by consensus because it failed to establish notability.

1/4/2017 - There is an ongoing Wikipedia discussion, in which you can vote for or against deleting the People's Cube for being "unworthy" to grace the pages of Wikipedia. You can add your two kopeks to the discussion here:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The People's Cube


1/2/2017 - Our volunteers have now removed the "deletion warning" but someone on the other side quickly replaced it with phony copyright issues and a question about our "noteworthiness," suggesting the Cube may not be noteworthy enough to be on Wikipedia.

This is plain harassment and trolling. The best way to deal with it is to have bulletproof content, which is what I need volunteers for. This requires an experienced Wikipedia editor.

The Wikipedia page about the People's Cube may be deleted in a few days unless some action is taken by those of us with Wikipedia editing credentials, on or before January 6, 2017 - that's five days from now. I think some of our members qualify, I just don't remember who they are.

Today I accidentally discovered this:

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Biased POV, poor and inconsistent style, confrontational tone, bad writing in general.

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it.

The article may be deleted if this message remains in place for seven days, i.e., after 10:09, 6 January 2017 (UTC).

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.

That page was created a few years ago by one of the Cubists, but I don't remember who it was; he may no longer be an active member. It has been modified several times since, and to a point I agree that the page could be written and organized better, let alone updated and expanded.

I suspect the complaint was made by one of the activist Wiki-progs who wish the world would comply with their Party-approved narrative. Still, we should keep our house clean and not leave any weak spots for them to stick their fingers in.

If any of you have the needed Wikipedia credentials to edit the People's Cube page, I'm asking for your help. Feel free to email me regarding any additional information or images you may need to do this.

Let's keep this thread clear of any off-topic comments and focus on Wikipedia-related content only.

Thank you in advance,
People's Director

Some of the information we can add:

The People's Cube is a role-playing political parody website/blog/forum that satirizes current political events pretending to see the world through the eyes of the Stalinist Politburo, under the slogan "We cure weak liberalism with strong communism." The writing style of its articles and forum discussions can be described as "voices of the radical left high on truth serum." The site has many contributors and followers inside the US and worldwide, including Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, Brasil, Poland, and South Africa.

Many of the People's Cube graphic and written parodies (and occasional off-character editorials) have become viral and some have been translated into French, German, Dutch, Hebrew, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian. The site has received media mentions from both sides of the political spectrum, including The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Ad Age, the New York Post, etc. (there's a longer list).

There have also been inclusions of our materials in several books:

Neil Degrasse Tyson - The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet

More info with pictured pages: https://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog ... t3864.html

A Hussein in the White House - What the Arab world thinks of Barack Obama (in Italian) by Donatella Della Ratta - uses one of our parodies of Obama "Hope" poster made by Superkommissar Maksim. More info - https://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog ... t2855.html


I'll provide more names, links, and descriptions of other books soon.

It's worth mentioning that Snopes.com is repeatedly debunking our news parodies and satires.

We have been consistently included in top lists of best conservative websites compiled by various blogs, and received awards - links can be provided.

Our controversies include more than just the old one with Google. There has been a war with Cafepress over Che Guevara's image, Iranian government site illustrating its propaganda with our spoof image, etc.

Need to include a description of the actual People's Cube from this site, mentioning that we have a personal approval by the Rubik's Cube creator, Erno Rubik, and his distribution company.

As more proof of "noteworthiness" - the People's Cube mentioned as part of U.S. alt-media history by a German journalist. Described in our recent post: The People's Cube recognized as part of alt-media history

Some media reviews:

  • Rush Limbaugh: "A Stalinist version of The Onion."
  • Michelle Malkin: "One of the coolest, edgiest parody sites mocking the Marxist left is The People's Cube."
  • Debbie Schlussel: "Our eternal fave fake news site"
  • Barry Rubin: "The funniest satire ever on how American history is being taught today."
  • Thomas Lifson: "The People's Cube is one of the funniest satirical websites, run by Oleg Atbashian, who honed his appreciation for the immorality of leftism by growing up in Soviet-era Ukraine and finding employment as an agitprop artist there, before defecting to the West. In the interest of full disclosure, Oleg is a friend of mine."
  • Daniel Greenfield: "A fantastic satirist whose mockery is one weapon the left has no defense against."
  • Mark Tapson: "The brilliant satirists at The People's Cube, under the glorious leadership of former Soviet dissident Oleg Atbashian, are back with breaking news."

Thanks to the comrades who have promptly pulled the warning! I hope this Wiki page will now become an adequate representation of our grand operation here.

This conversation about the Cube by some Wikipedia editors is very enlightening in its lunacy and is so to the left of Trotsky that might as well be one of our parodies. The fact that it's real can send chills down the spine of a less seasoned comrade:

Talk:The People's Cube

Wow! Wikipedia with aConstitution! Thanks for letting me know about this, I'll be sure to use it.

Unfortunately, it looks like they're pulling out the big guns. They deleted a lot of the original page at wiki and they have 3 threats of deletion on the page. It'll probably be deleted within a week. Oh well, screw Wikipedia. Let it go the way of Digg, MySpace, and all of the other websites that have been abandoned for better ones.

I'm sorry Red, but I'd rather put my effort into the bedrock of infogalactic than the sand of Wikipedia. They've already purged so many articles it isn't funny. We won't be alone in our deletion. They keep on yammering on about how the "need" donations, so maybe they're getting too big for their britches and will close down. Indeed, like all bureaucracies, the administrators have outnumbered the workers, and the system will collapse because of it.

In the schools, they teach that you cannot use Wikipedia as a good, rock-hard source for reports and papers. Wonder why?

The revolution will not be televised, and it looks like it won't be Wikipedia'ed either!

This Wikipedia debacle has just been reported in Bombthrowers.com - a great blog run by Capital Research Center out of Washington, DC.

Conservatives under attack: Wikipedia volunteers needed!

Conservative satirical website The People's Cube is under attack by left-wing Wikipedia editors

The People's Cube (website link), which happens to be the best conservative satire site in America, is under attack.

The site's reference page at Wikipedia may be deleted in a few days unless some action is taken by those of us with Wikipedia editing credentials, on or before January 6, 2017 – that's three days from now.

What's unique about The People's Cube is that it is written as if it were a media organ of the late Soviet Communist state. Even its graphics are Stalinist. and we mean that in the best way.

People's Cube founder Oleg Atbashian, an actual former propagandist from the USSR, suspects a leftist complained to Wikipedia in the hope of having the reference page erased from history.

He writes, “I suspect the complaint was made by one of the activist Wiki-progs who wish the world would comply with their Party-approved narrative.”

The Wiki-editors are now discussing the notability based on official third-party reliable sources. So I'll try to remember those, even though a satire blog is not usually a subject for media profiles. However, there was one published in June, 2009 by a big glossy magazine in Russia, called "Snob." It's in Russian and their web content is under a paywall, but just in case here's a link. This was a collection of reviews of different successful projects started by former Soviets in Western countries - and The People's Cube was chosen as one of them. That's notable.

Another independent media review - where a syndicated Canadian columnist introduces the People's Cube to his readers at The Province (Vancouver, B.C.). The original link leads nowhere, but the article is still visible at web.archive.org.

Every era is partially defined by the popular culture that emerged during that period.

More notability:

Our Graphic Raises Funds For Margaret Thatcher Statue in UK

Among the many parodies of Obama's "Hope" poster we made during the 2008 elections was Margaret Thatcher's image captioned as "Iron." It has been since a popular selling item at our online store.

But last month we were also contacted by the treasurer at the Grantham Museum in England, who asked for permission to use this image in their campaign for a Margaret Thatcher statue in Grantham, Lincolnshire, where the future Prime Minister was born and raised.

User avatar
The WP discussion keeps raising this question: "Are there examples of coverage [of the People's Cube] in high-quality mainstream publications?"

While the question itself is dubious, such examples exist. The Washington Post will probably pass their requirements for "high-quality mainstream publications," even if doesn't pass ours.

Sandra Fluke brings her testimony across the nation

“In the past, people would be ashamed of taking such a stand. But she continues to be self-righteous about it . . . that's what makes her funny,” said Oleg Atbashian, a Florida-based conservative whose Web site, thepeoplescube.com, came up with popular caricatures of Fluke: She's a slot machine, she's a belly dancer, she's got a collection of condom wrappers.

Atbashian says he tries not to let the jokes get too sexual. But he hasn't removed a commenter's post that shows Fluke facing a long line of male suitors, plus a horse. “I also don't want to limit people too much,” he said.
SCRN_WaPo_Fluke_Cube.jpg

For the record: David A. Fahrenthold reached out to me ​via the contact ​email ​listed on our website and requested a phone interview. I ​responded by sending him my number, he called me the same day, and we spoke for about an hour. He wanted to interview me because he was writing an article about the Sandra Fluke controversy and our content regarding ​t​his issue was going viral on the Internet, being shared on many websites and social media. He believed we had valid points and our satires were very funny and of high quality​, which is why he wanted to include them in his coverage.​

I can't participate in the Wikipedia discussion myself as I'm an interested party, but here are some things others could use:

A quote from the discussion thread:
It would indeed be notable if there was an example of good, funny, right-wing satire, but the consensus appears to be that this isn't it.
Since political funniness is subjective depending on one's frame of reference and scope of knowledge, leftists won't laugh at themselves, while a much greater number of normal people, whom they like to call "everyday Americans," find our satire hilarious. Here's proof:

Fan Mail from the Oppressed Masses


As for media coverage, here is an incomplete list of interviews including various AM and FM radio stations.

The Washington Times mentioned Oleg Atbashian and quoted from his book, Shakedown Socialism, which originated on the People's Cube pages:

PATTERSON: Labor unions and communism

More importantly, in 2012 The People's Cube was invited to have a regular column at the Washington Times Communities. We collaborated with the Washington Times (until they changed their format) for about a year and published about 60 articles, parodies, and satires that were featured on their main page.

The change of the WT format also led to the loss of our archives on their server, but they've been preserved in the web archive - the list of our entries spans on five pages (may load slowly).

Based on a picture suggested by our reader Robert Becker on Facebook.

For those unfamiliar with the reference, see The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin's Russia.

[img]/images/Wikipedia_Stalin_Purge_Cube.jpg[/img]

The Wikipedia commissars are now trying to purge us from history. They keep botching the Cube article and deleting sourced information along with the sources, and then claim that "no reliable mainstream sources" support our "noteworthiness." I don't even know why a website like ours needs to rely on outside sources to prove its worthiness. But even if it did, the only reliable sources to those editors are left-leaning.

So here's the logic:

  1. The progs create a situation where only left-leaning media is considered mainstream.
  2. The left-leaning media naturally ignores anything that challenges its narrative.
  3. Everything the left-leaning media ignores by default doesn't exist - there is no record of it.
  4. Eventually only the left-wing narrative exists as the only recorded reality. Anything outside the narrative is neither good nor noteworthy.

Then Trump wins the election and the progs can't understand what happened. They think their loss came out of nowhere - precisely because for them we do not exist. They had airbrushed half of the country out of existence in their subjective reality, but that doesn't mean that we ceased to exist in the real world. And when they received a blow from the places and people that weren't supposed to exist, it came literally out of "nowhere." They didn't see it coming because they believed they had deleted us long ago. It probably makes them wish we had been deleted physically as well, and some of them may well be willing to try - they just never had enough power to do so. Yet. This is how communists operated everywhere they had the real power.

Just remembered - The Village Voice, a New York City newspaper popular among hipsters, linked to our spoof and praised the People's Cube as quite noteworthy:

No Lawsuit Ceasefire on NYPD Searches

The Village Voice wrote:Most importantly, if anyone hasn't seen the brilliant send-up of the "random" searches from The People's Cube, see it here. It'll keep you chuckling as you try to find the token booth clerk in our new, safer subways.

I just re-read that spoof from 2006 - and it still reads great. It even mentions Trump!

Also, a great article/review/interview with me about the People's Cube by Michael Geer in the American Thinker (2008):

Show me where Stalin is buried and I'll show you a Communist Plot

It covers all bases, including my bio - for which I'm sure we'll have no problem obtaining permission if needed.

The People's Cube in The New York Post:

'ELIOT THREATENED ME' SOUVENIRS

By Fredric U. Dicker - January 18, 2006

(It deals with our campaign of mocking Eliot Spitzer, who was then AG of New York, with merchandize that I designed based on my friend Bryan's idea. The Merchandise was sold through a spinoff of the People's Cube, and it gained enough prominence to be featured on Page 2(!) of the New York Post. Unfortunately, the web version doesn't have the image but I have the hard copy and can scan it if need be).

That publication led to the following, even more interesting development:

Red Square wrote:With our permission RCA Music Group (Sony BMG) uses our "Eliot Spitzer Approved" image in a humorous promotion of Bo Bice single - see Page 1 of today's R&R Street Talk Daily published by Radio & Records.

CLARIFICATION: This is not a joke - it's a real ad by RCA Records, believe it or not. The studio's joke is in title of the new single, "The Real Thing." It's a sort of an inside joke, though. Spitzer had sued the industry for allegedly practicing payola (fake ratings), so they "strike back" with a song which Attorney General had supposedly investigated and approved as "The Real Thing." R&R is a trade newsletter for the music industry, and the recipients are expected to find this ad hilarious.

Image

The credit below the Spitzer's image says: "courtesy of thepeoplescube.com." As payment, the RCA producer mailed me a whole box of CDs with albums by various prominent musicians the company produced over the years. I still have some of them.

Four of my Obama Hope poster parodies were used to illustrate the chapter on Fair Use in a book on Copyright Law. In 2011 I received this email:

Dear Mr. Atbashian:

Thank you for your help and the great work! Attached is a letter that details exactly what I am requesting. I hope you can grant the permission. As you know, the original Obama poster was embroiled in copyright challenges, and I frequently point to your work as examples of why it is important to have fair use for such artistic and political speech.

I thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

In the end of 2011, an academic literary magazine The Point requested my permission to use another Obama poster parody from The People's Cube, with Aristotle's face and a caption that says "DWEM: Dead White European Male."

I have the hard copy of the magazine - The Point, Issue Five, Spring 2012 (Chicago). The graphic appears on Page 66, illustrating an article titled A Lack of Audacity? by Jacob Swenson.

The web version only has Obama's photo; my graphic appears only in the print edition.

Perhaps the Wiki article should be titled "Oleg Atbashian" rather than "The People's Cube" since your artwork is "notable" by virtue of its reference in numerous "third-party" sources. Yes? Then, a section of the article devoted to TPC would be totally acceptable.

You may have a point there. I'm an "interested" party, so my judgment call to that effect may be seen as self-promotion, especially by the Wiki-stapo. My only concern is that I owe much of my success to you, guys. A lot of what I did originated on the Cube and many of the great graphics and spoofs were done in collaboration with our comrades here. I guess there could be a way to reconcile that by emphasizing the Cube section on the new page.

Like I said, the Cube page on Wikipedia was started not by me (I think it was Maksim) and it was a long time ago. It came as a surprise at the time, but now I really want to keep that page out there because it's a great way of introducing new people to the Cube, with all its history and achievements, which belong to the entire glorious Cube kollektive and not me alone.

Besides, Google seems to be integrated with Wikipedia now, so many Google searches result in Wikipedia's articles showing at the top, often in the form of an expanded preview window. That is of great value and giving that up would be a crime against Cubeness.

On the subject of notability - in the sense of being noticed by third-party sources, here are two links. They may not be Wiki-worthy, but let it be stated here for history:

THE NATION: The ‘Right-Wing Nutters' Who Are Pushing the Country to the Brink

George Zornick in 2011 wrote:Let Freedom Ring was instrumental in putting together the Tea Party and 9/12 rallies in 2009, and last year the group released a photography book of signs from the protests called Grandma's Not Shovel-Ready. In the foreword, Hanna wrote that “it is our hope that these signs will give you strength, encouragement and an occasional chuckle in these challenging times. This book proves that in America, the spirit of freedom still lives!”

The book featured signs labeling “Comrade Obama” as “World's #1 Crypto-Marxist,” and an “undocumented worker.” The book also flirted with revolution and overthrowing the government. “Oust the Marxist Usurper! Honduras did it!” read one sign.

The bolded "Crypt-Marxist" sign came from the People's Cube collection of Tea Party signs. I got a copy of that book (distributed for free at 2011 CPAC) and was happy to see pictures of as many as 5 of our signs gracing its pages.

Image
Here's a link to this book on Amazon:


Grandma's Not Shovel-Ready! : Signs From 9/12 and the Tea Parties of 2009

Hardcover – January 1, 2010

I have no idea who held those signs and who published that book. But even without it I know that we've made history with our signs at Tea Party rallies across the country.

An incomplete collection, sent to us by our readers, can be seen throughout these two threads:

Wikipedia rules allow non-English sources. There are a lot of mentions of the People's Cube (and me) on the Russian-language Internet, including translations of our materials into Russian and discussions with many comments.

Google "Олег Атбашьян" (Oleg Atbashian in Russian) to find out.

Maybe our incognito wiki - editors should add some links about the noble origins of our collective. I'd love to have been there at the Kommunists for Kerry march at the republican convention:



or maybe Oleg's failed assassination attempt on Andrew Breitbart (spit, spit):



also, being mentioned in Town Hall (regarding the obituary of Larry Grathwohl: wow, interesting post btw) shows the esteem given to TPC by more "mainstream" conservative sources

Based on some of the comments in the Wiki-discussion, I understand that many of their editors are looking at the People's Cube through their "progressive" filtering lense and can't understand what makes it funny and why so many people are attracted to it. So naturally they suspect that no media would ever cover the Cube unless this coverage was organized by us as a way of self-promotion (I guess that's how it works in their world). Hence all the nagging about the "reliable independent sources."

HERE'S MY OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER:


All of the interviews and media mentions of the People's Cube happened because people reached out to me after they discovered the Cube and liked it. None of the media coverage was ever initiated by me in any way.

All I did was republish some of it (or link to it) on the Cube in order to have an archive and a historical record. Even then I think I may have missed a few, so I'd be grateful if you add what you find.
The Wiki-progs probably imagine that all the fan mail was also written by us, since they themselves don't understand our website. Here's just the latest few:

FEEDBACK FROM THE CUBE

You're a national treasure. I'm so glad you're on our side. Keep up the great work.

Just for the record (Kubism in Poland) :

The essay Are You a Victim of Islamic Intimidation? (by Oleg Atbashian and Larissa Scott, June 18, 2012) in American Thinker (also in Kube's Current Truth) was reprinted in Poland Kto kogo chroni, kto kogo zastrasza? (July 19, 2012), with a link to Kube's version.

(the news site EUROISLAM is serious, and good ; yet the name alone rubber-stamps it, I reckon, haram in the context of Wikipedia-Talk™)


BTW, there is about a dozen Cube articles translated into Polish:

User avatar
Dozens of our stories have been translated into Russian and published in various sources, from RT to independent libertarian/conservative sites, most prominently - RLN.fm.

The latter has recently migrated to a new platform and didn't preserve its archives, but their translations of our stuff can still be found on web.archive.org. They just need to be found individually, which is possible but tedious.

Here is one example:

Candidate Promises Statue of Free Cheese in Norman, OK

The translated articles (not every one, just the one I noticed - they never told me about their translations) can be located by searching the Cube with the site's name: RLN.fm

And BTW, the Free Cheese Statue article is also part the Cube history. The mayoral candidate in Norman, OK, used our images in his campaign and promised his constituents to build a statue of Free Cheese in a Mousetrap based on our design. He didn't win, but helping with his campaign was a lot of fun. TRUE STORY!

Just posted this update above:

1/9/2017
- The content is being constantly changed by the invisible Wiki-commissars. Just yesterday a more or less acceptable balance was achieved after a long and tedious tug of war. But last night almost all of the content and references were gone except for a couple of biased and disparaging paragraphs. This looks like vandalism. These "changes" were followed by a series of new "delete" votes on the discussion thread based on the lack of content and third-party sources - all of which they themselves had just removed.

If I had time I'd write a parody about these guys editing the Solzhenitsyn page, rephrasing and deleting everything until the only content left was the line, "Ex-convict, traitor to the Motherland, wrote anti-communist lies." And then even that line would be deleted by consensus because it failed to establish notability.

These SJWs are doing their best to push us out of the mainstream and make us invisible. They want us to be non-persons running non-sites, thinking non-thoughts and making non-jokes.

The term "the silent majority" is not entirely correct. It's "the silenCED majority."

If any of the SJWs are reading this page - this behavior of yours has caused the Trump rebellion. Have you not learned anything from it?

1/9/2017 - The People's Cube entry has just been deleted from Wikipedia. First the Wiki-prog-editors defaced it by removing all the valid content and references, leaving only disparaging language. Then they voted to delete it altogether because there was no valid content and references left.

Congratulations, comrades. We are now officially a non-site populated by non-persons sharing non-thoughts and making non-jokes. Right now I feel pretty much the way I felt while living in the USSR where an invisible hand obstructed any of my efforts to manifest my existence.

I know it's only Wikipedia and we still have our site, but this is a trend typical of Google and social media, let alone the MSM.


There's a phrase that goes "If you're not on a list, you're doing something wrong." People usually use it in reply to other people saying "Now I'm probably on a list somewhere".

With the proven censure of non-PC or party-approved ideas, and the overall leftist slant of the mob-ruled Wikipedia, I'd like to propose a new phrase: "If you're not on Wikipedia, you're doing something right!"

Anybody that knows anything about Google uses DuckDuckGo. It's more powerful than Google, too, because DDG has a system of "bangs", which you can use to search any website from the DDG interface. Typing in !gi dogs to DDG will bring up a google image search for dogs. !yt The People's Cube will bring up a Youtube search with The People's Cube videos in it.
