Non-violent/violent Action
I'd like to clarify the description of Greenpeace's actions, which are currently described as being exclusively non-violent. There have been some objections, so rather than keep reverting each other back and forth, perhaps we should hash the issue out. I cited the following article as a reference: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/703085.stm, since it discusses Greenpeace activists destroying a field. I assume the issue is the debate over whether or not destruction of property is violence. The wikipedia page on the subject (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action#Nonviolent_direct_action) says there's some controversy over this, although suggests that the consensus is that property damage is violent.

Certainly, the current phrasing is unacceptable, since it's taking a rather partisan minority view on the issue. But perhaps the best thing to do is find some other word that avoids the dispute, or, barring that, cut the word non-violent and just describe it as "direct action." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.70.195 (talk) 06:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Concerning the maize crop thing, I think it is also worth noting that the Greenpeace activists were found not quilty of causing criminal damage by the jury: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/kent/7608371.stm Shubi (talk) 14:59, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I see the relevance (to the question of violence---it's certainly relevant to any direct discussion of the incident). As the article discusses, they were acquitted because the jury was sympathetic to their motivation, not because of any doubt about what happened.75.82.62.109 (talk) 05:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * They would be innocent until proven guilty. An acquittal is legal finality regarding the charges.  The sympathies of jurors are less relevant then the motives of prosecutors. - Michael J Swassing (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

This entire debate is POV pushing to the extreme. If anybody has proof that Greenpeace is a political organization which promotes violence, then take it to the office of Homeland Security. Otherwise, the passage in the text is restored. - Michael J Swassing (talk) 06:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * An example of Greenpeace promoting destruction of property was given above. Destruction of property is widely (though not universally) considered to be destruction of property.  A description which makes the controversy clear would be appropriate; categorically describing Greenpeace as non-violent is quote POV.  Elseif (talk) 23:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think using one incident where the activist were found not quilty of causing criminal damage by the jury is a good example. But then, that's just me.89.27.59.129 (talk) 21:22, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Norman Borlaug
The greatest man in the world died recently, and had a very well known and documented fight with Greenpeace over genetically enhanced food. Norman's work alone filled 2 priorities at once and he isn't mentioned on this page at all:

Saving ancient forests (see deforestation, Intact forest landscapes) Promoting sustainable agriculture (and opposing genetic engineering)

If you can get over the last part "opposing genetic engineering", nobody in their right mind would fight this fight.

Norman Borlaug saved a billion people, prevented most of the rainforrests from being destroyed, and was still targeted by this highly political orginization. If they had it there way, this entire world would be covered in famine with no forrests at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.22.126 (talk) 17:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Greenpeace Foundation versus Greenpeace International
Hi.

At present Greenpeace Foundation redirect to here, Greenpeace International.

But Greenpeace Foundation, aka Greenpeace Foundation Hawaii still exists, similar to London Greenpeace.

See:

http://www.greenpeacefoundation.org/about/about.cfm

How do I split these two apart or where do I put links if I want to make a separate Greenpeace Foundation page?

Thanks. --Dolphin song (talk) 12:12, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I would suggest that in the beginning of this article there would be a link to disambiguation page about other uses for the name Greenpeace, but this page would remain as the primary topic, as Greenpeace International and it's regional offices are overwhelmingly the largest and most known Greenpeace there is.Shubi (talk) 12:56, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I created a disambiguation page with links to other Greenpeace articles. The Greenpeace Foundation article is now just a stub.Shubi (talk) 13:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Suggest archiving and putting up a link to archives
I suggest archiving and putting up a link to the archived discussions. This page is way too long to be able to follow anything that is being said here in any of the topic threads.
 * Done!Shubi (talk) 14:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Restructuring the page
I would suggest restructuring of the article and really thinking what is relevant and what is not. The organization is huge, so I think we cannot write about everything it does, but focus on the main points so that the article wouldn't be too long. I think even the opening of the article now is too long and messy. If some sections start gaining length we could start separate articles for them.

My suggestion for a new structure would be this:


 * 0. Intro text, infobox,
 * 1. History (The background, formation, growth and restructuring, offshoots like London Greenpeace, Greenpeace Foundation and :Sea Shepherd)
 * 2. Organization (Governance, regional offices and financing)
 * 3. Campaigns (Climate, Forests, Oceans, Toxics, GMO, Nuclear power and disarmament)
 * 4. Working methods (Direct action, lobbying, media use)
 * 5. Ships
 * 6. Criticism

Shubi (talk) 14:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I restructured the article, removed a lot of unsourced parts and irrelevant lists. For example it is quite trivial to have a long list of location of all the offices, and also it is trivial to have a list of random protests that Greenpeace has done. The grammar I wrote might be crap, since I'm not a native English speaker. Please comment on the changes I have made.Shubi (talk) 12:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

needs better image showing office locations
highlight the entire country is a little useless for conveying where greenpeace is located and could suggest the organization is not concentrated in any particular regions, when it certainly is. 74.100.178.116 (talk) 08:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it is useful to highlight the entire country, as the national offices operate on issues concerning the entire country. What the highlighting of the entire country suggests is up to the viewer to decide. To me the map shows that Greenpeace is concentrated on industrialized/western and major developing countries. There's not much Greenpeace offices in Africa and Middle East for example. But I think the addition of the offices as dots in each country would be a nice addition to the map. The map would need to be larger then, as Europe would be a bit cramped with so many rather small countries.Shubi (talk) 09:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

strange bits
This is really vague and maybe a bit romanticized. I don't really understand what does this actually mean:
 * "The social and cultural background from which Greenpeace emerged heralded a period of de-conditioning away from old world antecedents and sought to develop new codes of social, environmental and political behavior."

Without concrete examples this really doesn't mean anything to me at least. I would remove this.89.27.56.101 (talk) 05:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've no idea what it means either, unless it's a euphemism for saying that early Greenpeace activists were West Coast stoner hippies, which may or may not be true. It should be clarified or removed. --Ef80 (talk) 18:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * In his book 'GREENPEACE and insiders account', Rex Weyler said, "The early Greenpeace crew of peaceniks and hippies was guided by supernatural signs and symbols." Weyler speaks of early Greenpeace as a bunch of rag-tag bunch of hippies. Every image of early Greenpeace shows a movement dominated by bearded-long hairs. After all, this was the 60s-70s hippie revolution!

Mombas (talk) 01:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * But what are those "old world antecedents" and "new codes of social, environmental and political behaviors"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.185.2.162 (talk) 09:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Mens News Daily as a source?
Mens News Daily seems a rather suspicious source to me. Anyone can contribute to the site as long as the contribution is in line with the editors views. Wikipedia policy says this:

"Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, or promotional in nature, or which rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions. Questionable sources should only be used as sources of material on themselves, especially in articles about themselves. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable as a basis for citing contentious claims about third parties."

Mens News Daily has extreme and strong personal opinions and errors in content and it is not in line with the Wikipedia policy. For example only one of the Rockefeller brothers is alive anymore, so it's just a plain error to say that they are supporters. It's the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, not the brothers. The site has opinions that deny global warming, how "Obama Administration Exports Neo-Marxist Ideology Across the Globe" and so on.

I'd also like to note that The Turner Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation are acknowledged philanthropic foundations, not corporations and it's no secret that Greenpeace also accepts foundation grants. They state that in their annual reports.

I see Mens News Daily as a group blog that isn't that notable and has quite extreme opinions. I don't think their opinions really matter. Wikipedia policy states this: "Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some newspapers host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Posts left by readers may never be used as sources."

Marc Levin & eco-terrorism
Marc Levin works for Texas Public Policy Foundation, which has gotten funding from ExxonMobil. Searches give little info about Levin's current organization, their pages don' even work. Here's a crime file on his staements. He has some quite radicaln opinions. So. 1. Is Levin a reliable source and 2. Is he a notable source? And BTW opinion of one persono does not equal with "is often criticized". For more info see 89.27.63.202 (talk) 23:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not necessary that Levin be a reliable source. The Chronicle is a reliable source.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 23:39, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it's an open forum. Reverting myself in the article.  It is necessary that Levin be an expert in eco-terrorism for it to be included, and I've seen no evidence of that, regardless of his bias.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 23:43, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I think all using the term eco-terrorism should be under scrunity as the term itself is under debate and is used to discredit environmental activism threatening private economic gains. See this for an academic view on the subject: Shubi (talk) 10:53, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Nominated for Nobel
While there isn't any official Nobel peace prize nomination nor published complete lists, I don't see what's the problem with mentioning that Greenpeace has been nominated twice (at least), as the sources say. Even though the Nobel Peace Prize has no offical nominee status (as for example the Academy awards do), the Nobel Committee still has criteria for valid and invalid nominations. And these people who the Committee considers valid nominators have nominated Greenpeace twice. So the nomination is relevant, as it is made by someone who has special authority or knowledge about the subject. It is not just a random suggestion from some random guy.

The fact that Greenpeace has been nominated for the prize twice does not any claim of any official "nominee status" nor any endorsement from the Nobel committee itself. It however is an statement from the nominators of the prize. So, as it is verifiable that the organization has been nominated twice, why cannot that verifiable information be included in the article?84.250.5.104 (talk) 17:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Because there is and can be no verification. It's a statement from some potential nominators, but there is no evidence that the nomination was actually submitted to the Committee.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 07:21, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Arthur. It's more than likely that Greenpeace has been nominated roughly every year since its inception. We can't know though. If there's no official list of nominees, there's no actual evidence. There are hundreds of nominees every year and being a nominee in itself isn't really noteworthy. There's no due process leading to them being "nominated", there's no edited shortlist. Saying they have been nominated twice creates confusion about how the price works and gives the wrong impression. Dramabog (talk) 08:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The Peace Research Institute in Oslo says that "Confirmed Nominations: Although nominators are requested not to publish their proposals, the following list of nominees is confirmed only to the extent that the nominators have apparently chosen to publicis their choice anyway." That means that someone who has nominated Greenpeace has made his or hers nomination public. So there can be a verification of nomination, if a nominator mades the nomination public. The point is not about direct evidence for this information, but verifiability of the information from a reliable source. As far as I know there's no reason why PRIO web page or the book "World Politics in the 21st Century" would not be reliable sources for verification of the nominatios. As reliable sources they have assessed the evidence and published the information of the nominations. And as the PRIO web page and the book do note the nominations (of Greenpeace), it can be said that nomination (of Greenpeace) is noteworthy. Why else would these sources note the nominations, if not for the notability of the nomination? Several other articles do mention the nominations and have sources for them, National Council for International Visitors, International Solidarity Movement, Piedad Córdoba and Hadassah Medical Center for example. And we have the article about the Nobel peace prize to elaborate the nomination procces, and if needed it can be shortly explained here. And I'm kind of puzzled what is the confusion and wrong kind of impression that the mentioning of the nomination could give? It's not our job to remove relevant and verifiable information from Wikipedia because the information "gives the wrong impression".84.250.5.104 (talk) 14:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If there's nothing more to counter the reliability of the sources and the notability of the nominations, I'll restore the part about nominations.Shubi (talk) 21:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I concur with Arthur and Dramabog, there is no possible way to reliably source this due to the way that the nomination process works. If you disagree, open an RfC or perhaps take it to WP:RSN.-- Terrillja talk  21:08, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Greenpeace Record and Video Projects
Notations for the various Music and video projects from Greenpeace need to be put after their respective events that caused their creation, e.g. Greenpeace: The Album after ``The Sinking of the First Rainbow Warrior in 1984''.

The First Greenpeace International Record Project also known as Greenpeace: The Album, going on with the two-disc Rainbow Warriors album and the Alternative NRG Project through to more modern compilations, need to be acknowledged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.178.70 (talk) 00:23, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm 72 years old and been in the music and film business since before most of these Wikipedia editing kids were born, and it's VERY annoying to be constantly seeing requests for improving articles, spending hours or days doing so and then having some kid come along and erase it and put it back the way it was.

These kids need to grow up and defer to their elders. When we edit a page they need to leave it the HELL alone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.178.70 (talk) 00:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Criticism Section Needs Reworking
The Criticism section of this article needs some better examples. Right now there are only 2 major examples, and both border on what could be considered conspiracy theories. Surely there have been better-grounded criticisms against Greenpeace, it is a very large organization with a very strong political agenda (generally such organizations quickly become criticism-magnets, so to speak). Could someone who knows more about Greenpeace please improve this section? Lunamia (talk) 18:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You might want to include some information from this article in Vancouver Sun by Patrick Moore. Moore has also written a book titled "Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist."  It seems the book should be mentioned.

Trying to bury the chlorine thing
I could but not notice it, have had numerous people over the years scream with terror even faint because someone was using bleach. Then like a bolt of lighting it hit me, this is really old WWI propaganda; viz the Germans used Chlorine therefore your use of bleach will kill me, my God phone the Police/Ambulance/Priest. Never met a Greenpeace activist who was not a drunk badly educated arts type 81.109.247.189 (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Unbalanced and biased article
The 'Priorities and Campaigns' section of the Article is biased. Under each campaign topic, it includes one or more controversies relating to Greenpeace, in most of the topics, the controversies are given more coverage than the actual campaign topics. This is neither encyclopaedic, enlightening, or neutral.

For example:

Nuclear power: A few lines about Greenpeace's position and campaign. Followed by two sub-topics, both relating to controversies (one about an accidental press release, and one about an allegedly misleading advert).

Forest campaign: More space is given to the 'Removal of ancient tree' controversy than to the main subject matter. The story should be moved to 'Criticisms'.

Tokyo Two: This entire paragraph should be moved to 'Criticisms' and it should be shortened (as there is a full article to link to for the details).

GMOs: The main article is entirely about the Zambia issue of accepting GMO food aid. It has no mention of Greenpeace's arguments against GMO crops. The 'Golden Rice' issue is not written in a neutral way, and appears biased against Greenpeace.

Amarantus (talk) 18:00, 17 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Agreed, almost the whole artice is stinking with anti-Greenpeace bias and need drastic reworking if it's to come even close to being neutral and ballanced; Most of the "Priorities and Campaigns" section reads like it should be "Why Greenpeace are wrong to do these things". I've added a little bit about their campaigns against oil drilling but it needs a whole lot more yet. --Connelly90&#91;AlbaGuBràth&#93; (talk) 10:43, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I would avoid separate criticism section for campaign related criticism but instead have more information about the campaigns to balance the criticism. While generally criticism can be both positive and negative criticism, usually those sections end up being a place just for negative criticism, which is something to avoid also.89.27.57.41 (talk) 22:22, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm surprised there isn't anything on how Greenpeace is a terrorist organisation under EU Definitions. Perhaps this article was written by some brainwashed Greenpeace activist/militant. The fact is that the criticism section is rather lacking, as it portrays Greenpeace in a good light overall in the article, and we all know that isn't true. You might as well say Wikileaks is a good organisation as well, while we're at it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.40.129 (talk) 10:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If you think criticism is lacking, find sources and add criticism. I'm suprised that Greenpeace would be a terrorist organisation under EU definitions, as the organisation has several offices in EU and even one in the capital of EU focusing solely on monitoring and lobbying of EU institutions. If Gp would be defined as you say, I think they would have been kicked out of EU countries, especially from Brussels. And Wikipedia is not about writing articles about "what is true" because people have different views on what is true. What matters is what verifiable reliable sources say. See this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability 89.27.57.41 (talk) 06:05, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The definition of a "Terrorist organisation" in the EU is so broad that almost every pressure group could be described as one. So, although technically GP could be called a "terrorist organisation" they are not really considered to be one; They wouldn't be allowed to opperate if they were. --Connelly90&#91;AlbaGuBràth&#93; (talk) 09:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Politically Charged Assumption
"Even though the crew of the Confidence personally supported the cause of Greenpeace ..."

This line is an unproven assumption that supports a political Point of View. This reads like the author was fantasizing after a viewing of Battleship Potemkin. Even if there was evidence that some member or members of the crew was sympathetic that would not justify an intimation that the crew of a US Navy or Coast Guard vessel was potentially mutinous. In addition the article is in error in referring to the Confidence as a US Navy vessel. It is a Coast Guard Medium Endurance Cutter and has its own wiki page. Lifeofthemind (talk) 12:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I checked the sources, which does indeed also say that the ship was a coast guard ship and fixed that. The source also has this on it:


 * "Behind the commander's back, the crew of the Confidence handed the prostesters a cablegram. Signed by 17 sailors, it read:


 * DUE TO THE SITUATION WE ARE IN, THE CREW OF THE CONFIDENCE FEEL THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS FOR THE GOOD OF ALL MANKIND. IF OUR HANDS WEREN'T TIED BY THESE MILITARY BONDS, WE WOULD BE IN THE SAME POSITION YOU ARE IN IF IT WAS AT ALL POSSIBLE. GOOD LUCK. WE ARE BEHIND YOU ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.

Greenpeace → Greenpeace Environmental Trust – Appearantly, "Greenpeace" isn't the full name of the organisation; the full name is "Greenpeace Environmental Trust", and it seems to be a registered charity, which has several branches.

Oppose Greenpeace Environmental Trust is a registered charity, and is a separate legal entity from Greenpeace Ltd; crudely speaking, the two together form 'Greenpeace UK', although the Trust also makes grants to other organisations. It'd be incorrect to relable the main article, and even a redirect could be misleading. http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/about/get-test QuakerActivist (talk) 15:00, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It is Wikipedia's house style to use the most common and recognisable name in article titles, not the official legal name. See WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCCORP for the relevant policies. That said, Greenpeace Environmental Trust should probably be created as a redirect. Jenks24 (talk) 17:04, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Greenpeace Environmental Trust is the legal name of the Greenpeace of United Kingdom. Different regional Greenpeaces have different legal names, such as Greenpeace International being "Stichting Greenpeace Council" and Greenpeace in Nordic Countries being "Greenpeace Norden". So "Greenpeace Environmental Trust" only refers to the UK office.Shubi (talk) 06:42, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

In my revision of the past i had seen, it's obvious to think about natural changes influencin' on the world by human activities,.. (etc., commented out)<!-- snip -- it is always a matter of Education and Sensitizing,education for young people who learn at schools, sensitizing for those who may be concerned or interested, for those who have means. In fact we know that as we think as Scientists that economics interests ( production and consummation) and envirronmentals or natural benefits (like energies) are connected, so that we can do economy on work by wastin' less natural matters. So why do scientists dig in their mind, spending more and more money in a limitted time for research and developement trying to save catastrofics results that we have never payed attention before until now. Less working in countries whose populations get their money from natural wealth (exploration petrol)in the third world, in lot of time concerned by over population ( where there should been control of births as the direct and the only solution of consciousness for couple of families who are over loaded by work),as this same energic matter used to industries in developping countries. The man should let existing the natural space, insteed of developin' struggles and wars of unconscious and no tomorrow's interests between people, in another case there should be manner of communication and connection to teach our knowledges and learning culture of each other but by considering that those cultures are grew on Earth, and it will continue to be done and prospering in those natural and spiritual spaces. It's certainly difficult to try to resolve problems when we can't never look at lacks of each other,wherever we belong to the right or left side, when we are in the left we try to resolve problems in meetin' places or streets where there is noone to listen to you, then there is nothing to be fed after, and when you are on the right side in place which can be your home you are well fed and when you begun discussin' about annoying problems you will feel those limits, in fact it's our own energy which is disturbed, a disconnction of our soul with our physical beeing. however we can see how the world is divided into three system since over fifty years, the industrials, communists,and third world and for those three scales of developement, the developped countries are in services activities, the developing countries are in industry,and under developed countries are in agriculture and raw matters. whatever man preoccupation with his family or professional life,and evolutions which he is exposed to, like globalization wich can be agressive, may influence him in a point of view or another,perhaps will cause him both lacks and instruction in which we can never see what is really beneficial for him.Word,Work,World will be the Way Where we Walk ;A Flesh to Direction in Space; Not matter what we are wearing costume and tie or baskets and leather jacket.like we say in french l'habil fait pas le moine.but the life of today makes him very busy, stressed by his own job and social stuffs and matters obliged to work harder in what really he is never himself,it's like a prostitution, and in another side spending his borrowed time with education of his children,we are put into fire. --> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.103.149.225 (talk) 18:49, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I tried recently to expand the article on the Tokyo Two matter in Japan, but I got reverted on grounds it was too Greenpeace leaning (or perhaps what he really meant was too allegatory against the research whaling). Anyways I came up with a toned down rewrite sourced closely to online newspaper, but this also got rolled back, without, any substantive arguments on why the things I wrote based on news coverage was not allowable. I'm not really seeking any gut-reaction pro or con based on your views, but specific arguments on my specific use of source, language, suggestions on what other sources to use to balance it.

Criticism section still needs reworking
I wasn't involved with the complicated decisions about the Criticism section. I came looking for comments vis-à-vis Sea Shepherd, found none, and was instead confused.

A) Paul Watson, ex-Greenpeace board member, and Sea Shepherd founder is an outspoken opponent of Greenpeace. His views appear regularly in a TV series, and in a documentary. Yet his position is not articulated.

B) The section reads like a blow/counterblow battlefield. It left me confused about what version of the truth one is intended to believe. And some of it is just irrelevant and scrapping detail. (What difference does it make to the Criticism that Watson may or may not have been a founder?)

C) Assuming the "Main article" Criticism of Greenpeace would clear everything up, and present points in an orderly way, I was surprised that it doesn't even address the same issues! (It does however have similar bickering.)

Someone needs to rewrite the Criticism section so that it identifies the major issues clearly and briefly. And this needs to be in harmony with the Main article.

Leptus Froggi (talk) 20:20, 11 August 2013 (UTC)


 * On section A), if you know the opinions of Watson Be bold and add them!


 * On section B), the verifiability policy of Wikipedia says "When reliable sources disagree, present what the various sources say, give each side its due weight, and maintain a neutral point of view", so it's up to the reader to decide which one you want to believe. Wikipedia must be neutral and can't take a side. I agree that the founder issue has no place in criticism section, and the issue is already handled in the history section, so I'll remove it.


 * If you know some major issues that should be addressed in the criticism section, again Be bold and add them!


 * Shubi (talk) 09:12, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I'll add that in my opinion criticism about the general activities and the nature of the organization should go under the criticism section, and criticism about certain campaigns should go to the campaign sections, so that the campaigns section is not the place for only opinions of Greenpeace on the campaigns, but all verifiable viewpoints on the campaigns. Also, separating specific (negative) criticism from the main article to a separate article or section is discouraged in content forking policy: "If possible, refrain from using "criticism" and instead use neutral terms such as "perception" or "reception"; if the word "criticism" must be used, make sure that such criticism considers both the merits and faults, and is not entirely negative (consider what would happen if a "Praise of..." article was created instead)."Shubi (talk) 09:26, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Threats
The number one threat is not climate change, it´s overpopulation and through that incremental demands on agricultural & energy resources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.204.18.169 (talk) 18:50, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Funding
I have deleted a newly added section under Funding because it contains OR and poorly sourced information. Gandydancer (talk) 20:22, 1 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I asked the editor to bring his edit to the talk page rather than add it to the article. S/he has again added it and I have again removed it.  Gandydancer (talk) 13:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Gandydancer, please explain how this is OR? and why it is poorly sourced? I use the film which presents documentary evidence, the, UN and WorldWatch documents on causes of GHGs among others as sources. And I cite Greenpeace's own webpage on Individual Action as evidence. I quote from Wikipedia's editing guidelines here and request your help in improving the entry by proving detailed explanations: " Improve pages wherever you can, and do not worry about leaving them imperfect. Preserve the value that others add, even if they "did it wrong" (try to fix it rather than delete it)."Haifen1 (talk) 21:52, 4 June 2015 (UTC).


 * I will copy your addition here for discussion:
 * The 2014 film documentary, "Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret"[70], suggests that Greenpeace, which consistently refused to be interviewed on the topic of animal agriculture for the film, was receiving funds from the Animal Agriculture Alliance, one of the largest meat industry lobby groups in the US[71]. In an interview in the film, Emily Meredith of the Animal Agriculture Alliance, refuses to deny donating money to Greenpeace and is instructed by a handler, who is clearly audible offscreen, not to answer the question. The film continues to cite a 2009 Worldwatch report[70] that claims greenhouse gases (GHGs) from raising livestock accounts for more than 51% of of GHGs. A more conservative report from United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) called "livestock's Long Shadow"[72]claims it is 18%. The film claims that assuming the lower number, animal agriculture would account for more GHGs than all forms of transportation on earth[73], combined. The film goes on to state that reducing consumption of animal products would be a far more significant way to reduce global warming due to GHGs than any of the recommendations given on Greenpeace's website's Individual Action page[71]. Greenpeace's Individual Action Page does not recommend reducing animal product consumption. The film's assertion and resulting controversy[74] is that Greenpeace may be knowingly concealing the main cause of climate change in fear of losing both popularity among supporters and funding, from both individuals and powerful industry associations.


 * The edit is sourced to a full-length documentary Cowspiracy. Feel free to bring your request to use this film as sourcing  to the request for advise at our RS page or open a RfC, but I do not believe that it is considered an acceptable or a reliable source for use in this article.

Rape and Sexual Exploitation in Greenpeace India
User:Malayala_Sahityam is repeatedly reverting edits and removing information about rape and sexual exploitation in Greenpeace India which meets Wikipedia Verifiability Criteria of sources under one pretext or another (first said it is minor issue and then that of it should be in Greenpeace India page only and not in the current page). Please attain consensus on how much of individual nation-wise information can be given in this page on Greenpeace overall before reverting edits. This criteria can then be applied to the entire article and all information from individual national arms of Greenpeace good as well as bad removed from this page accordingly. Drsoumyadeepb (talk) 10:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The section is a brief description on the regional offices of Greenpeace across the globe. Accusations of sexual harassment does not belong here. You can include this in criticism section instead. But still you need to tone down the language. And I could not find anything in the three sources which explicitly says the organisation was accused of protecting the offenders, instead it was only accused of improper handling of the case for which it apologised. By hiding this very fact that Greenpeace has apologised on the issue, you have made your intention clear. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 18:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Seems biased to me
Hello guys, I am not really involved in this kind of topic on Wikipedia (and I don't have the time to ransack the WWW for sources) but I came across this article and it really seems to me that we need to put more emphasis on a few things. Please read the whole thing before commenting. Since this is a controversial subject (and talkpage) I expect that about half a dozen people (mainly greenpeace supporters) will immediately launch into rants and ravings against me and my points here on this talk page and perhaps even in mine. Please keep your comments in this talk page, and refrain from being uncivil.
 * First of all, the nature of greenpeace and its activists. Basically, that they are environmental extremists who are bent on manipulating other people into prioritizing nature before humans. (Which is completely different from being a good steward of nature and caring for the earth using responsibility.)
 * Secondly, and tying directly into the first point, their questionable methods of imposing the above dogma. "Questionable" covering an ample range of degrees, from illegal to annoying. "Methods" covering an equally ample range, from destroying people's property to chaining themselves to trees. With political pressure, writing graffiti, clogging up roads with silly protest marches, spreading propaganda and asking for money, and hanging on to a whaling ship's anchor somewhere in between.
 * Finally, valid and reasonable criticism of greenpeace, its motives and its actions. This could be done by expanding the criticism section with strong and valid arguments, adequately sourced. The criticism comes from quite a number of people and organizations from all the globe, and definitely is noteworthy.

Since I have no wish or time to participate in a heated and totally unproductive discussion about a subject that is not my primary interest here on WP, I will not participate in this section much further unless some editor (in practice several, as we do need consensus) here is willing to expand the matters above. In that case (and I am sure we can find reliable sources about this and avoid OR) we can take more concrete steps toward improving the coverage of what has been stated above. Cheers, Green547 (talk) 20:41, 20 July 2015 (UTC)


 * You need consensus here first before rewriting the article, so I have reverted your changes. You say that "criticism comes from quite a number of people and organizations from all the globe, and definitely is noteworthy", yet at the same time you indicate that you can't be bothered to look for these sources. Do you have any sources that support your views apart from the pleadings of special interest groups, such as religious fundamentalists claiming no one has the right to interfere because their God is in charge of environmental matters, or right wing exploiters claiming no one has the right to interfere with how they make their short-term profits? --Epipelagic (talk) 20:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry dude but you have it all wrong. In the first place nobody responded to my section, so I began making a few changes (not rewriting the article???). Secondly, the sources needed are easily found (just google it) and some are already there. In fact, I get the idea Epipelagic wouldn't want me making any changes even with sources. Finally, where on earth did you get the idea I would resort to "pleadings of special interest groups such as religious fundamentalists"??? I have no idea. That doesn't come even close to what I was trying to do here. In fact I was trying to simply show the facts about G.P. (who seem to be the true "religious fundamentalists") and its actions. I can understand why a G.P. supporter would want to revert my edits and use strawman arguments against my talk page post. Why are you even mentioning religion and politics here? (And no, G.P. does not have the right to interfere with law-abiding, reasonable people.)


 * Since you have reverted all my edits and are determined not to allow any facts here, I am leaving this sorry mess, having already tried to clean it up. I do not have the wish or time to argue with GP supporters and their hand-waving. And I never edit war, so I am not wasting breath here. You can have your article as it is if you like, and I am happy with my own definition of G.P. Yes, I have sources, but I am not going to contribute them here.  Good-bye. Green547 (talk) 21:32, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Part of productively contributing to Wikipedia is to back claims with reliable sources. This edit inserted qualifiers that radically changed the cited material without citing new sources. I would be appalled if GP would call themselves "extremist" – the source cited in that sentence that was changed to include the word "extremist" was GP's very own site. That's a bad edit. In fact, it was undone three hours later, only to be re-added as "some info". The continued manipulation of sourced text under the simple guise of information addition is severely misleading.

Greenpeace on Golden Rice
As mentioned briefly in "Unbalanced and Biased Article" subsection of this page, it seems that the "The 'Golden Rice' issue is not written in a neutral way". At the very least, it seems that certain paragraphs within the "Greenpeace on Golden Rice" section may be either (a) poorly written, (b) not exactly relevant to the section, or (c), fundamentally misleading / false.

Original: Patrick Moore says that the very reason for malnutrition is that the families cannot afford much else than rice.[130] According to Adrian Dubock, golden rice would not cost more than ordinary rice and now vitamin A deficiency is the main reason for blindness and responsible for 28% of child mortality.[131] Now vitamin A deficiency blinds and kills at least hundreds of thousands of children every year.[132]

Patrick Moore, while once an active member and president of Greenpeace, left the organization in 1986 Thus, at the time of making the statement cited in [130] regarding affordability of golden rice and its effect on malnutrition (see below for link to [130] since I'm not sure if it shows up on the talk page) Patrick Moore had no official affiliation with Greenpeace. If the title of this section is "Greenpeace on Golden Rice", why is his commentary relevent? I am proposing that this section should only be used to promulgate Greenpeace's official statements on the subject, or at a minimum, the statements of it's official members. Thus, I propose this sentence should be removed.

Moving on to the final two sentences of the Original above, we have the same issue. Adrian Dubock is not a member of Greenpeace. In fact, he's a "Humanitarian Board Member" of the Golden Rice Project. . His statement's should just not be part of this section, as, to reiterate, he is not a member of Greenpeace and so in no way should his statements be present in a section literally called "Greenpeace on Golden Rice". Thus, these two sentences should be removed --> this paragraph should be removed.

I have also removed the following paragraph

"On July 14, 2011, Greenpeace paid the reparations when its members broke into the premises of an Australian scientific research organization CSIRO and destroyed a genetically modified wheat plot that would have a lower glycemic index and hence benefit people who are diabetic. The sentencing judge, Justice Hilary Penfold, accused Greenpeace of using junior members to avoid custodial sentences, while the offenders were given 9-month suspended sentences.[22][23][24]"

as it has nothing to do with golden rice and therefore does not belong in this section.

Similarly the last 'paragraph' in the section

"Jim Peacock (former chief scientist of Australia and president of the Australian Academy of Science) accused Greenpeace of being anti-science and spreading misinformation immorally.[135]"

has nothing to do with "Greenpeace on Golden Rice" and so I have removed it.

Maybe this stuff could be moved into the criticism section?

Moving to the paragraph

"In August 8, 2013, an experimental plot of golden rice by International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines was uprooted.[131][132] Mark Lynas, former anti-GMO activist, reported that the action was in reality carried out by a group of 50 anti-GMO activists.[133] Greenpeace representatives defended the vandals.[134]"

we have a couple problems. First, (and see below for link to [133] / [134]), neither [133] nor [134] state that Greenpeace was responsible for the attack but rather the KMP or MASIPAG (which is not in disagreement with the paragraph above...but if it's not greenpeace doing this, why is it in the "Greenpeace on Golden Rice section"?). Looking at [134] Greenpeace does not "defend the vandals", but simply gives a few comments (that is, a spokesman gives a few comments...) on it's stance on Golden Rice, and comments on what they (the spokesman) believe to be the farmer's motivations:

"Beau Baconguis, programme manager for Greenpeace Southeast Asia based in the Philippines is concerned, however. “There is not enough safety testing done on any GM crops,” she says.

Baconguis believes the farmers took matters into their own hands because they were concerned about their crops being contaminated. “I think that the farmers know what they want. What they want is a safe environment that they can grow their crops in,” she says."

I have changed this paragraph to better mesh with these statements / facts, and made some grammatical edits throughout.

Problems passage removed from article
I removed the "Problems" section from the article because it is at least partly sourced from a Wikipedia article, which is unacceptable. The passage i removed was: "Problems Statoil and Greenpeace indicate the problems of their opponents' activities in different point of view. Statoil argues that because of Greenpeace's obstruction to their oil drilling, it has to postpone the start of drilling so the company would make a loss of "7.5 million crowns ($1, 26 million) per day" (RIGZONE 2014) and it has no choice but to place a financial burden upon the society (The Maritime Executive). On the other hand, according to Reuters, Greenpeace argues that Statoil's oil drilling would do serious harm to a part of the Arctic Ocean and one island of the Barents Sea. It points to the potential danger of oil spilling in the sea. It argues that Statoil's schemes for oil drilling would have a bad influence on the Arctic ice sheet and the island of Bjørnøya (Bear Island), according to the Wikipedia article Bear Island, an uninhabited wildlfe reserve located in west area of Barents Sea and inhabited by rare plants and animals, including polar bears. The harsh conditions of the Arctic Sea would make an oil spill cleanup difficult, if not impossible. Statoil has reacted to Greenpeace's arguments, saying "The probability of an oil spill happening is extremely low, …and we are operating in familiar waters." and "There are two factors that indicate an extremely low probability of oil reaching Bjørnøya. Firstly, there is a very low risk of an oil spill occurring at all, and secondly, there is an extremely low risk of any spillage reaching Bjørnøya." and tells that "The [oil] exploration will take place about 300 kilometres from the mainland and 170 kilometres from the island of Bjørnøya." (Statoil 2014). The Norwegian government keeps on the side of large oil companies and turn down requests from environmental groups which are small scale."

It seems to have relied upon some version of the Wikipedia article Bear Island (Norway)'s section "Environmental concerns", which is currently:"Although there are currently no industrial activities on Bjørnøya or in its immediate vicinity, pollution by toxic and radioactive substances remains a threat to the island's virtually untouched nature. Exploration in the Barents sea and the recent development of the Snøhvit gas field off the northern coast of Norway shows that the ecologically sensitive polar and subpolar sea areas of the Norwegian and Barents Sea have come into the focus of the petrol and gas industry. The environmental organisation Bellona has criticised the Norwegian government for licensing these activities without sufficient studies of their ecological impact. Organic toxins, specifically PCBs, have been found in high concentrations in biological samples from Bear Island, especially in Arctic char of the freshwater lake Ellasjøen. The Soviet nuclear submarine Komsomolets sank on April 7, 1989 some 100 nmi southwest of Bear Island. Leakage of radioactive material from the reactor and nuclear warheads currently poses a problem, and severe pollution of the surrounding waters remains possible."

It is completely unacceptable for Wikipedia to use Wikipedia as a source. It is embarrassing. -- do ncr  am  21:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Probable WP:BLP violation, even here on the talk page. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see criticism presented by Greenpeace about the political and corporate role of those persons as a violation of that policy. The criticism is a viewpoint on how they have worked on public roles, not on their personal lives or sensitive private information. 212.149.200.128 (talk) 17:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:BLP; it doesn't have to be about their "personal lives", just be controversial and unsourced. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 07:43, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Greenpeace is a reliable source for its own viewpoints, so I see no problem writing that "Greenpeace has criticized XX of this and that", as Greenpeace is a notable environmental organisation. Controversial criticism can be included when the tone is neutral and sources are reliable and notable, as Greenpeace is by Wikipedia standards.212.149.200.128 (talk) 18:23, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

The claim: "We have the technology today to ensure a transition to a greener, safer and more equitable economy" remains that: only a claim. As of 2016, not a single example has ever been given of a large scale essential industry that can be replaced by a "greener, safer and more equitable" equally large scale alternative. It should therefore not be stated as if it were a "fact". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.218.196.176 (talk) 05:47, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
