Talk:The Alternative (Denmark)

Edit war

There seems to be an edit war going on. This article needs more info on the objectives of the party and its role in Danish politics - incl. the social movement element. So it is to rewrite info about this than simply reverting.--Batmacumba (talk) 15:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

It's not an "edit war", someone simply is trying to use a first-party source (the political party's own website) poorly translated into English to create an uncritical, advertorial sort of article, which is not suitable for an encyclopaedia. Wikipedia don't need the party statutes and marketing copy-and-pasted here in poor quality English. Remember, this is a relatively small Green party which hasn't existed for long, and there is not may English language sources about the party yet. As for the 'social movement' issue, that appears to only be something the political party markets itself as being, which is a common practice (e.g. the Five Star Movement in Italy), but doesn't mean that the organisation isn't a political party in either the de facto or de jure sense.--Autospark (talk) 16:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
