For an assignment I have to edit a wikipedia article so I wanted to edit part of this article. I thought it would be important to expand on the direct impacts extracivism has on Indigenous communities. Specifically how their ways of life are attacked as well as their homes by having these destructive practices happen to the earth. They are unable to practice their culture and traditions because of the destruction and barriers extractivism causes. Because of this, extractivism is a form of colonialism against indigenous peoples. I also wanted to add a case study of the Asubpeeschoseewagong First Nation also known as the Grassy Narrows First Nation in Canada and the logging/clear cutting that took place on their land until they started a blockade.

The article presents "extractivism" as a fact just like it does with neoliberalism. Both concepts have been contested by mainstream economists. Opinions of experts contrary to the extractivist concept have been omitted or suppressed from the article. Sietecolores ( talk) 19:19, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
reliable sources use sometimes wording that is not neutralthen that's the wording we must use – for better or worse. Although we can balance sources with one perspective using sources from another perspective, and I invite you to do that if you can clearly render those sources. So far everything you've written seems really vague to me. Please try to be clearer if you can. Thanks! Larataguera ( talk) 12:55, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Larataguera, the edit was a much needed improvement that puts the concept in the wider context of Latin American political discourse. Some concerns remain such as the use of loaded and contested term "neoliberalism" as matter of fact. I suggest that the tag to be moved down or replaced by inline tags in the problematic sections. Sietecolores ( talk) 09:33, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Not only is the added source by Andrea Cori and Salvatore Monni focused in Ecuador as a case study and has potentially undue weight for not representing a widespread point of view, but it is not used or mentioned anywhere else in the article, failing WP:LEAD. The mention should be removed as such. NoonIcarus ( talk) 11:07, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
This is an extremely poor article that treats a concept as an absolute fact. In doing so, it treats the concept of "extractivism" as synonymous with the concept of extractive industry. See the prison-industrial complex article to see how articles on these sorts of concepts should be handled - it makes it clear upfront that it's dealing with a concept, and does not confuse it with prisons in general.

Hi all, I went searching for an article on "Resource Extraction", and was led here. I suggest we transform an abstract concept of "Extractivism", in a concrete reality called "Resource Extraction".
Mining, fossil fuel, and logging companies all practice resource extraction. We need an article on this process, which, incidentally, is the driving force behind climate change and biodiversity loss.
However, "extractivism" is perhaps a theory that someone who practices resource extraction might have, but that kind of concept would only be a paragraph on the resource extraction page. For instance, logging companies don't see a forest ecosystem, they see what they call "natural resources", which they feel are theirs to take. That is extractivism perhaps. But it is not a Wikipedia page.
Could some editor with better wiki chops than I please suggest a title change? I don't want to just do it and get my head chopped off, and I don't know how. thanks 172.103.217.135 ( talk) 07:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
