Talk:E-Activism

Merger proposal
I have proposed merging this article into Internet activism, which has considerably more notable content about this topic. E-Activism is just a neologism. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

E-Activism should have a page of its own because it is fast becoming a term on its own that has significant symbolic meaning in our culture. You don't call emails internet mails or imails do you? It is the same thing, here, it is more commonly known as E-Activism and people who conduct it are e-activists. Internet activism is general whereas e-activism is about the passing on of e-petitions via email, hence the term e-activism. So please leave this page alone as it will be developed greatly in good time. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loveink1 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi User:Loveink1, thank you for your contributions. I notice you originally contributed this information to the Internet activism article, where another editor "streamlined" it a lot. Different editors often have different ideas about how much detail is appropriate, at least at first. But by working together they usually reach a consensus on what is best for Wikipedia.
 * I suggest that you boldly work on improving the original Internet activism article, and use the article's talk page to discuss what you are doing. If you explain why a little more detail would be good, you can probably find a happy compromise. I think that is better than creating a separate article about the same thing, or just an aspect of it.
 * As for this E-Activism article:
 * If you want to develop this article about something different from Internet activism, the lead should not say "also known as internet activism...." Instead, it should explain why this is notable as a separate topic or subtopic. (You may want to use a different title as well.)
 * If you agree with me that a separate article is not needed, you can put at the top of the article. It means "author requests deletion" and an administrator will delete it for you.
 * Remember to sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). That will insert your name and the date. Thank you again, and happy editing! ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:00, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I didn't orginally post this info on the internet activism page I merely added a phrase. I can see your point but I think if someone searches for e-activism in this electronic encyclopedia why shouldn't it have its own page?? Please see the changes i have made to it. I will think about your suggestions very carefully and consider adapting the 'internet activism page' 2mrw. Thank you for your suggestions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loveink1 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
