Environmentalism of the poor

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Two cn issues
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
• Interesting: - Hook interest is a bit borderline to me, since it is kind of a basic definition. Do you think you could provide an alternative hook, perhaps some more interesting struggles that came out of the movement?

Overall: ( t · c) buidhe 23:16, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

• I think I've handled the citation issues. Let me know if you need anything else. I don't think this is the greatest hook either. Maybe:

Alt1 ... that environmentalism of the poor could become the most important force for an ecologically sustainable society? Source: Davey, Ian (2009) Environmentalism of the Poor and Sustainable Development: An Appraisal JOAAG 4:1:1

• @ Buidhe: Do you like Alt1?-- evrik ^{( talk)} 19:07, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure I like ALT1, it seems rather hypothetical/opinion-based. ( t · c) buidhe 19:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Alt2 ... that environmentalism of the poor is a social movement where impoverished people struggle against powerful state or private interests that threaten their livelihood, health, sovereignty, and culture?Guha, Ramachandra (1998).

or possibly, Alt3 ... that well established ideas about sustainability are contradicted by environmentalism of the poor? Source: Davey, Ian (2009) Environmentalism of the Poor and Sustainable Development: An Appraisal JOAAG 4:1:1

• I'm not convinced, asking for a second opinion on hooks. ( t · c) buidhe 18:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
• Not a review, but ALT1 and ALT2 sound borderline soapboxy to me. ALT3 gives me the question "by how?" so I don't think that's suitable either. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 00:50, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5, isn't the whole point of a hook to raise a question so that people want to click on it? The answer to that question is in the article. Larataguera ( talk) 11:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

There's a fine line between "vagueness that makes you want to learn more" and "vagueness that makes you confused and disinterested", and the way I see it, ALT3 is the latter. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 11:44, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5, thanks for that clarification. Would you be interested to suggest an alternative hook for this article? Larataguera ( talk) 15:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, as the topic is beyond my expertise I am probably not the best person to ask for a new hook right now, I can really only comment on a hook's suitability. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 22:55, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

• Alt2a ... that environmentalism of the poor is a social movement that focuses on social justice issues and not conservation and eco-efficiency?

@ Buidhe:, what about 2a? -- evrik ^{( talk)} 20:54, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

• Alt4 ... that environmentalism of the poor is one of three types of environmentalism identified by Joan Martinez-Alier? Source: Guha, Ramachandra (1998).

• Alt6 ... that environmentalism of the poor is a global movement arising from local environmental conflicts? Source:Martínez Alier, Juan (2005).

• I think ALT6 is fine. It's not confusing nor uninteresting. It contrasts global vs. local, and hints at the relation of environment and economic disadvantage. I looked into the cited source: [1] and the hook is well sourced. The two cn issues (above) have been addressed. I think the nom is good to go. Bammesk ( talk) 02:31, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
