Specifically, I request  discussion on creation of:  soc.history.war.us-civil-war soc.history.war.world-war-i soc.history.war.world-war-ii soc.history.war.vietnam  In order for these groups to be created, they must be discussed in the  newsgroup 'news.groups'.  At least 28 days of discussion must take place,  if memory serves, after which a vote can be held if the proposal met with  consensus during the discussion phase.  At present, there are three groups dedicated to war in the alt.  hierarchy: alt.war, alt.war.vietnam, and alt.war.civil.usa.  I do not  endorse elimination of these groups but have proposed doing so for the  sake of discussion.  None is particularly well propagated and there may  be some argument advanced for replacing them.  The main thrust of this proposal is in the World War I and World War II  groups.  Discussion of the battles and history and times of these  climactic global upheavals continues unabated to the modern day  and  there are few subjects on which more discussion could be expected.  I  initially proposed these as alt. groups but have decided to propose them  as Big 7 groups for the reason that "if they're such great ideas for  groups, propose them in a Big 7 hierarchy first."  So, here they are.  I invite comment on the creation of the World War  groups and on the idea of replacing alt.war.civil.usa with  soc.history.war.us-civil-war and replacing alt.war.vietnam with  soc.history.war.vietnam.  From [email protected] Tue Feb 22 16:16:16 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Joel Furr) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,alt.war,alt.war.civil.usa,alt.war.vietnam,soc.history Subject: 2nd RFD: soc.history.war.* groups Followup-To: news.groups Date: 21 Feb 1994 19:39:40 -0500 Organization: Aramchek Lines: 74 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:4656 news.groups:96162 alt.war:5748 alt.war.civil.usa:8224 alt.war.vietnam:2815 soc.history:34055  This is a formal 2nd RFD to formalize the proposal for two soc.history.war.* groups.  Two groups are proposed at this stage:  soc.history.war.world-war-ii (Moderated) soc.history.war.misc  Soc.history.war.world-war-ii is proposed as moderated to keep out the Holocaust Revisionists and their ilk.  If you question why this is necessary, please glance at soc.history and misc.headlines.  Megabytes per day of articles about how the Holocaust Never Happened, Folks.  Soc.history.war.misc is proposed as unmoderated.  In the first RFD, it was not proposed and instead several other wars (the U.S. Civil War, World War I, and the Vietnam War) were proposed for newsgroups.  World War I received insufficient support to be taken forward and the other two wars were too controversial as alt. groups already existed for discussion of those conflicts.  However, several people began speaking up and saying "Hey, how about a Napoleonic Wars newsgroup" and so on and it quickly became ridiculous.  Hence, soc.history.war.misc.  Now, if you wonder why we need a brace of war groups at all, let me say this:  A war includes more than military events.  A war includes social, political, economic, military, and demographic events.  Discussion of a war typically includes the *war era* and not just the war.  Present groups which exist to discuss military issues are very specific: sci.military, alt.folklore.military, alt.war.  All of these tend to focus very strongly on the military aspects and less on the historical and other aspects.    Discussion of World War II and wars in general takes place on a wide range of newsgroups, many of which specialize on recent military history.  The most notable example of war discussion taking place elsewhere is the World War II mailing list, which averages 800 megabytes per month of traffic.  The moderators of this mailing list are in favor of the creation of a World War Two newsgroup as the subject has more than demonstrated its carrying power on the Net.  I have put together a provisional staff of moderators for soc.history.war.world-war-ii and this list will be published at the time the group goes to a vote.  The charter proposed for soc.history.war.world-war-ii is as follows: Discussion of the era 1939-1945 in particular, but ranging as far back as 1918 and as far forward as the 1950's for discussion of events leading to the War and post-war events such as the occupation of Japan and Germany.  The discussion will be limited to social, political, military, economic, demographic, and historial aspects of World War II, including discussion of:  * Arms limitations treaties in the 1920's, intended to head off any future war * the Weimar Republic * the rise of the Italian Fascists * the Japanese war with China * the rise of the Nazi Party * American isolationism * Franco-British appeasement * Italian misadventures in Africa * German occupation of the Sudentenland and Austria * the war proper, 1939-1945 * the Manhattan Project * the Holocaust * Post-war occupation of Japan and Germany * Post-war governments of Europe * and so on.  In other words, the mandate for soc.history.war.world-war-ii is intended to be broad, rather than narrow, with moderation in place less to limit discussion than to keep out Gannon and the Holocaust Revisionists and other malicious posters.  The charter for soc.history.war.misc is as follows:  General discussion of wars, including social, political, historical, economic, and demographic aspects.

CHARTER (Proponent)  The charter of soc.history.war.misc:  General discussion of wars, including  military, social, political, economic,  technological, historical, and demographic events.  The  charter of soc.history.war.world-war-ii:  Discussion of  the era  1939-1945 in particular, but ranging as far back as 1918 and as  far forward as the 1950's for discussion of events leading to the  War and post-war events such as the occupation of Japan  and Germany.   The  discussion will be limited to social,  political, military,  economic,  technological, demographic,  and  historial aspects of World War II, including discussion of:       * Arms  limitations treaties in the 1920's, intended to head           off any future war      * the Weimar Republic      * the rise of the Italian Fascists      * the Japanese war with China      * the rise of the Nazi Party      * American isolationism      * Franco-British appeasement      * Italian misadventures in Africa      * German occupation of the Sudentenland and Austria      * the war proper, 1939-1945      * the Manhattan Project      * the Holocaust      * Post-war occupation of Japan and Germany      * Post-war governments of Europe      * and so on.  In  other words, the mandate for soc.history.war.world-war-ii  is intended  to  be  broad, rather than narrow, with  moderation  in place  less to limit discussion than to keep out Gannon  and  the Holocaust  Revisionists and other malicious posters.  Should  Dan Gannon  or  Serdar  Argic submit articles which actually  discuss World  War  Two  rather than spreading their brand of  conspiracy theory, their articles will be approved for submission as well.  Why moderation or lack thereof? ---------------------------------------  Soc.history.war.world-war-ii is proposed as moderated to keep out the  Holocaust Revisionists and their ilk.  If you  question  why this   is   necessary,   please   glance   at   soc.history   and misc.headlines.   Megabytes per day of  articles  about  how  the Holocaust Never Happened, Folks.  Soc.history.war.misc is proposed as unmoderated.   In  the  first RFD, it was not proposed and instead several other wars (the U.S. Civil  War,  World War I, and the Vietnam War) were proposed  for newsgroups.   World  War I received insufficient  support  to  be taken  forward  and the other two wars were too controversial  as alt.  groups  already existed for discussion of those  conflicts. However,  several people began speaking up and saying  "Hey,  how about  a  Napoleonic Wars newsgroup" and so  on  and  it  quickly became ridiculous.  Hence, soc.history.war.misc.   As this  group will  be  for discussion of war in general, a very broad subject, moderation   would  be  difficult.   Hence  it  is  proposed   as unmoderated.  Moderation policy: ------------------  Soc.history.war.world-war-ii will have a very relaxed  moderation policy.  The main purpose, as noted above, for moderation of this group  is to prevent it from turning into a revisionist flamefest akin  to  misc.headlines or soc.history.  As  such,  any  message which  actually  discusses World War  II  will  be  approved  for posting,  provided that it does not attempt to claim that  events such as the Holocaust never happened.  There are other groups for discussion of that question, most notably, alt.revisionism.  Moderation rules:    *  Articles which discuss World War Two and its events will be   approved for posting.    *  Articles arguing that the Holocaust never happened will not   be approved for posting.    *  Articles must contain original thought.  Lengthy quoting of   source  material with a couple of lines of comment at  the  end   will not be approved for posting.    *  Blank    messages,   test   messages,    advertisements,   MAKE.MONEY.FAST,  and  so  forth,  will  not  be  approved  for   posting.    *  Articles which include excessive quoting (e.g. an  article   which  quotes  an entire other article in order to  add  a  few   comments  at the end) will be trimmed down by the moderator  in   question.    *  An  article MUST have a valid reply-to address or it  will   not be approved for posting.    *  Rejected articles will be shared with the other moderators   for group consideration.  As  noted  below, the group will be group-moderated, to  minimize delay  between  submission and posting  and  to  keep  the  group running when the traffic becomes heavy.  Moderators  will  be  added  by majority  vote  of  the  existing moderators  and  moderators will be removed by 2/3  vote  in  the event that a moderator is shown to be failing to do the job (i.e. not posting anything).

For voting questions only contact [email protected]  For questions about the proposed group contact Joel Furr <[email protected]>.   CHARTER (Proponent)  The charter of soc.history.war.misc:  General discussion of wars, including  military, social, political, economic,  technological, historical, and demographic events.  The  charter of soc.history.war.world-war-ii:  Discussion of  the era  1939-1945 in particular, but ranging as far back as 1918 and as  far forward as the 1950's for discussion of events leading to the  War and post-war events such as the occupation of Japan  and Germany.   The  discussion will be limited to social,  political, military,  economic,  technological, demographic,  and  historial aspects of World War II, including discussion of:       * Arms  limitations treaties in the 1920's, intended to head           off any future war      * the Weimar Republic      * the rise of the Italian Fascists      * the Japanese war with China      * the rise of the Nazi Party      * American isolationism      * Franco-British appeasement      * Italian misadventures in Africa      * German occupation of the Sudentenland and Austria      * the war proper, 1939-1945      * the Manhattan Project      * the Holocaust      * Post-war occupation of Japan and Germany      * Post-war governments of Europe      * and so on.  In  other words, the mandate for soc.history.war.world-war-ii  is intended  to  be  broad, rather than narrow, with  moderation  in place  less to limit discussion than to keep out Gannon  and  the Holocaust  Revisionists and other malicious posters.  Should  Dan Gannon  or  Serdar  Argic submit articles which actually  discuss World  War  Two  rather than spreading their brand of  conspiracy theory, their articles will be approved for submission as well.  Moderation policy: ------------------  Soc.history.war.world-war-ii will have a very relaxed  moderation policy.  The main purpose, as noted above, for moderation of this group  is to prevent it from turning into a revisionist flamefest akin  to  misc.headlines or soc.history.  As  such,  any  message which  actually  discusses World War  II  will  be  approved  for posting,  provided that it does not attempt to claim that  events such as the Holocaust never happened.  There are other groups for discussion of that question, most notably, alt.revisionism.  Moderation rules:    *  Articles which discuss World War Two and its events will be   approved for posting.    *  Articles arguing that the Holocaust never happened will not   be approved for posting.    *  Articles must contain original thought.  Lengthy quoting of   source  material with a couple of lines of comment at  the  end   will not be approved for posting.    *  Blank    messages,   test   messages,    advertisements,   MAKE.MONEY.FAST,  and  so  forth,  will  not  be  approved  for   posting.    *  Articles which include excessive quoting (e.g. an  article   which  quotes  an entire other article in order to  add  a  few   comments  at the end) will be trimmed down by the moderator  in   question.    *  An  article MUST have a valid reply-to address or it  will   not be approved for posting.    *  Rejected articles will be shared with the other moderators   for group consideration.  As  noted  below, the group will be group-moderated, to  minimize delay  between  submission and posting  and  to  keep  the  group running when the traffic becomes heavy.  Moderators  will  be  added  by majority  vote  of  the  existing moderators  and  moderators will be removed by 2/3  vote  in  the event that a moderator is shown to be failing to do the job (i.e. not posting anything).
