Soviet historiography[edit]

According to the Russian page the book influenced Soviet historiography.Xx236 (talk) 07:34, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The English article as it now stands includes a few vague words like "propagandist", but doesn't mention any of the book's falsehoods... AnonMoos (talk) 21:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

The lead for the article is extremely similar to the description that Amazon has for the book https://www.amazon.com/History-Communist-Party-Soviet-Bolsheviks/dp/1490917098/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=30QRW09RCHRN021EG0G9 .Joecantu1134 (talk) 11:30, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "The" doesn't seem to be part of the title name, should it be removed?--80.180.196.242 (talk) 10:44, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Agree with Nom that the actual title is "History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks)". This would appear to be an uncontroversial move given that page-naming policy discourages extraneous "The"s, but let's weight to see if anyone else weighs in. FOARP (talk) 11:27, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support as above, the publication title does not start with "The". I suggest also removing the introductory word "The" from the start of the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE. 92.249.211.16 (talk) 12:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that Short Course is a redirect to Short course (about swimming) as {{R from other capitalisation}}, but because the article lede says that this book is "[c]olloquially known as the Short Course", it may deserve a hatnote (and retargeted per WP:DIFFCAPS?) 92.249.211.16 (talk) 12:10, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've turned Short Course into a disambiguation page. Station1 (talk) 02:00, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:THE. Beginning an article with "the" is discouraged when unnecessary. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per title page of book. Station1 (talk) 02:00, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
