Moving content from Environmental justice page to this page

Hi! I am planning to move content currently in the "Critique of environmentalism" section of Environmental justice to the criticism and alternative views part of this page without much revision of the content. If anyone has any thoughts or concerns, please let me know. Zaelzo (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Planning to move forward with this shortly. Zaelzo (talk) 05:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done, if anyone has any thoughts feel free to share them here. I kind of think the See also section is like a less helpful version of the Green politics template so I'm not really sure what purpose it serves. The Michael Chricton paragraph seems like potentially undue weight since it is only about his opinion. Zaelzo (talk) 05:41, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good move but the section is weak. I agree with you on Chricton. A wider problem seems to me due to the fact that the page fails to provide an interpretation of the broad catalogue of environmentalists' ideas and the criticism section adds to the catalogue rather than an interpretation. It tends to portray criticism directed to a (non existing) single or main perspective. I have recently rewritten the Italian page (ambientalismo, hopefully you may machine translate it) drawing extensively from solid textbooks. The criticism is not yet covered but the fundamental threads of E. are, attempting to go beyond the catalogue approach. Perhaps it may offer some ideas.

-== Peer Review ==
-This article lacks references. The Lead section doesn't make a reference until the second paragraph. Where did the information from the first paragraph come from? Also in the Definitions section, it should be stated where the terms came from to make sure that they are reliable sources. In the History section, the beginning only talks about Great Britain and the Middle east, whereas the whole section talks about the spread of environmentalism, so I think the initial paragraph should reflect that more. I do like how there is a section on New Forms of Ecoactivism. It should definitely expanded on and brought up to modern date since there are many protests that do occur all over the world in regards to the environment. There are also many changes occurring now within the government and laws about the extent of protecting the environment that are important to be touched on. Even a comparison of different countries laws would be good to lay out. I like the idea and structure behind the article, but more information will need to be added into the History section as well as New forms of Ecoactivism and Environmental Laws.

+==Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment==
-:Thanks for your input, [[User:Terir|Terir]]. I am a university student studying a bachelor of oral health sciences. I am working on an assignment where we have to improve the quality of the [[Eco-friendly_dentistry|Eco-friendly dentistry]] article. I am trying to research the history of eco-friendly dentistry. So I have delved down the rabbit hole of the eco-friendly movement. I don't know where to start. This page has been helpful, but your input has brought attention to the shortcomings of Wikipedia articles. As a university student, we are grilled on the standards of evidence, so I am floundering when trying to use other wikipedia pages as reliable sources of information. --[[User:Asktheboh96|Asktheboh96]] ([[User talk:Asktheboh96|talk]]) 09:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
