Talk:Ethical Consumer

Revision 1143071227 Removal

Hello @Avatar317,

I'm sorry that my edit was entirely dependent on references from the main website. I haven't done many edits in a while and I suppose I've forgotten how important 3rd party references are. I just couldn't find any other external references and found that the page was lacking many important details. Furthermore, Most of the edits for which I added the reference to the main website are, to me, unbiased statements about the company's activity. I'd really appreciate it if you gave some feedback on how the edits I made could be improved, citation wise. Cause I do believe that this info is quite relevant.

Just to be clear, I am not in any way in contact with this company or was asked to make these edits. I just noticed that the page was surprisingly lacking and I wanted to help out. I.Elgamal (talk) 16:10, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

It seems that some of their campaigns get coverage in the Guardian and BBC, maybe those sites have some articles about their campaigns. You can search Google for example ["ethical consumer" site:bbc.co.uk] You could search for their campaign name or "Ethical Consumer" and see what other news articles you can find. Often I find I need to look into third or fourth pages of search results (30+ deep) before finding relevant info I'm looking for. At the same time, some of their campaigns may never become popular enough to get any any mainstream press coverage. Political advocacy groups often start lawsuits which may go nowhere, but serve to get their cause publicity, you can also search for this if it is something they do. But campaigns of theirs which don't get any coverage shouldn't be listed in Wikipedia (the self-sourced promotional issue). Hope that helps. ---Avatar317^(talk) 23:23, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

I see. Thank you very much for your help. I'll look for external references and hopefully come back with a more refined contribution. Cheers! :D I.Elgamal (talk) 23:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
