Untitled

Everything in this article is well-referenced, including articles from the relatively recent past (Dakota Access Pipeline news article). Everything is relevant to the groups initiatives and goals, but lacks any organization, which was distracting in reading the article. There was so separation between different sections which made reading a little jumpy. More history would be useful in understanding the group, but the main goals of the group and some projects they had been involved in were were laid-out. The sources worked great and were reliable! Just organization and some background history is needed. Jmgregory13 (talk) 18:13, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edit in progress

Hi, I have accepted a request submitted to the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors to copyedit this entry. I welcome comments and questions from editors. Vansk007 (talk) 06:17, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification regarding IEN representation

The lead lacks clarity in relation to who IEN represents. While activists are described as being 'primarily' located in the US – implying that some activists, and therefore some represented peoples, are outside the US – the opening paragraph refers to representation for 'Native Americans'. 'Native Americans' implies that Inuit people based in the US and Canada are not represented, and also excludes indigenous peoples from Central and South America. For the broadest interpretation, try 'first nations people of the Americas'. If representation is restricted to people within the US or North America, try 'first nations people of the United States' or 'first nations people of North America' respectively.

Capitalization

Terms such as 'indigenous', 'nation' and 'first nations' are not capitalized unless they form part of a proper noun, such as in the title of a legislative instrument or treaty. Editors can familiarize themselves with the Wikipedia Manual of Style (MOS) to develop an understanding of appropriate capitalization — a good introduction to the MOS can be found in the Simplified Manual of Style.

Ties to environmental justice movement

'Ties to the environmental justice movement' does not seem the most logical item to begin the [History] section with. This could form part of a separate environmental justice section or a section on links and collaboration with other movements, however this content should not be merged with items currently listed under 'Environmental justice', as that section in its current form is more akin to a 'notable achievements' or 'key initiatives' section.
Clearly describe or make reference to the distinction between Native American reservations and First Nations reserves.

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are several uncited sentences in the article; please add citations.
There's a neutrality tag on the article. Looking through I can see some specific language that is not neutral: "despoliation", for example, and "over-exploitation", which presupposes a particular viewpoint. Not everyone agrees that pipelines are environmentally harmful. Describing the IEN as "a leading participant" can't rely on the IEN's own website.

These are quite signficant issues. Fixing the latter will require substantial edits to the article, so I'm going to pause the review until this is done. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 03:36, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gmhardesty: are you planning to work on this? I will fail the article in a week's time if I don't hear from you. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Their user page shows they are/were a student editor and not edited since May (shortly after putting up for GA), so my guess is not. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:29, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You never know. I was pleasantly surprised just yesterday by a student editor returning after a gap of months to respond at Talk:Transgender sex worker/GA1. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No response, so I am failing this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:53, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
