http://www.wired.com/opinion/2012/12/a-eulogy-for-occupy/all/

This piece, which is otherwise very pro-Occupy in tone and content, is sharply critical of General Assemblies (or at least what they eventually became). I was disappointed to see that the current wikipedia article on general assemblies is very one-sided and idealistic in tone, with leading statements like "Newcomers have sometimes indulged in soapboxing on their first speech, but folk typically soon chose to respect the process" that aren't sourced from their citations. I'd really like to read more examples of how General Assemblies worked in practiced and how they deteriorated (if they did), but the current article is really light on actual information.

I'd like to dramatically restructure this article and take the shift away from the more theoretical aspects, but figured I'd discuss it first and see if any of the current editors had any existing plans to change it. ] (]) 06:49, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Criticism of General Assemblies

http://www.wired.com/opinion/2012/12/a-eulogy-for-occupy/all/

This piece, which is otherwise very pro-Occupy in tone and content, is sharply critical of General Assemblies (or at least what they eventually became). I was disappointed to see that the current wikipedia article on general assemblies is very one-sided and idealistic in tone, with leading statements like "Newcomers have sometimes indulged in soapboxing on their first speech, but folk typically soon chose to respect the process" that aren't sourced from their citations. I'd really like to read more examples of how General Assemblies worked in practiced and how they deteriorated (if they did), but the current article is really light on actual information.

India Against Corruption

There's an active Anti-Corruption movement in India that is being suppressed by the current government through Innternet Censorship. Should we bring it under Occupy OWS, or should I create a new WikiProject for it ? I was thinking of creating "India TaskForce" under OWS. --Ne0 (talk) 15:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Move

Proposed to move to "WikiProject Occupy Wall Street" for greater clarity. Rich Farmbrough, 16:23, 25 August 2012 (UTC).

Was about to suggest the same thing since coming across this. benzband (talk) 16:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Why not "WikiProject Occupy movement", since the scope of the project is not just the New York protests.Rangoon11 (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm happy with that. Rich Farmbrough, 16:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC).
Yeah. benzband (talk) 16:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
