Internationalism

If you read the Wikipedia article, Internationalism sounds like a type of Progressive Neoliberalism. In reality, Internationalism is an anti-capitalist and Socialist movement: https://www.wsws.org/en/special/library ... ss/14.html

The thing this article does describe is Globalism, which is a Neoliberal ideology.

The article later mentions the Socialist definition, but the lead still portrays the primary meaning as Capitalist and Globalist. This has been pointed out on the talk page several times, but most of the complaints were ignored or hidden because of supposed sockpuppetry.

Dan Henry Watches -- Verbose Crap Marketing to Marketing Crap..

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =832001468
Dan Henry Watches have received consistently positive reviews, with reporters citing their tribute designs, quality of construction, and finish of the dials.[2][12][13][4][14][17][18] [1][16][15][19][3][20][17] Characterizing the whole collection, Monochrome magazine called Dan Henry watches “a boatload of bang for your buck.”[4] Worn & Wound described the collection as “simply better than the competition, with more intricate designs and higher-end executions.”[1]

Joke's on them--I never heard of the company or its products....

Check JamesKramer2018's talkpage. He's been accused of undeclared paid editing before. Why isn't he banned? Oh, right, it was OrangeMike. The dumbass didn't follow up.

Ill conceived - very questionable.. organized narrative framing via an "edit-a-thon"... a few press releases .. fifteen folks.. a wheel chair.. bad fashion sense... four months.. and a bit of dedication..

I double dog (or Roxy-the-Dog) dare anyone to call this effort/article/thon out for the public relations nonsense it is.

Why don't we start narrative framing with our own Wikipedia Page!
-Lets create an account (alive for four months)
-Lets issue a bunch of press releases and then use them as references!
-Lets find a they/them to crank out a few articles

What is the Edmonton Queer History Project? The Edmonton Queer History Project (EQHP) is a community-engaged research project designed to document, share, and celebrate the people, places, and moments that have helped to define Edmonton’s 2SLGBTQ+ history.

Why Wikipedia? .... When there is a significant information gap in representation, this absence on Wikipedia echoes across the internet.

Wikipedia - nonsense wrapped in nonsense.

Chat GPT Version
The text you provided seems to express skepticism and criticism towards the Edmonton Queer History Project and its efforts to create a Wikipedia page. It suggests that the project's narrative framing was ill-conceived and questionable. The author highlights the use of an "edit-a-thon," press releases, and a short-lived account on Wikipedia to create the page. They also comment on the involvement of a person with a wheelchair and criticize their fashion sense. The author challenges anyone to view the project as public relations nonsense. They provide links to the Edmonton Queer History Project's website and a user account on Wikipedia. The text concludes with a reference to a fictional character, Ahsoka Tano, and dismisses Wikipedia as nonsense wrapped in nonsense.

[[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]]

Wikipedia found it encyclopedic to completely reframe Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 50 year career and celebrity in the lede based off tweets about... 3 years of a pandemic. The entire first sentence was made to fit the last 3 years, and half the lede is now about the last 3 years.

2019 article (pre-COVID)
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =905470045
"Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American activist, environmental attorney, and author. Kennedy serves as president of the board of Waterkeeper Alliance,[1] a non-profit environmental group that he helped found in 1999."

current article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.
"Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental lawyer and author known for promoting anti-vaccine propaganda and conspiracy theories."

former article mentions vaccines 0 times
current article mentions 'vaccines'... 92 times

Thought Wikipedia was an encyclopedia, not a place to get wp:bludgeoned about whatever people don't like about what a person is doing at the moment
wrote this well before myself or anyone knew he'd run for president. Weird they got a head start on tearing down this guy. I don't think he can win with that voice, but at that time he wasn't *known* for vaccine conspiracy.

That is exactly what most of Wikipedia looks like (albeit with fewer women on average).
current article

"Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954) is an American environmental lawyer and author known for promoting anti-vaccine propaganda and conspiracy theories."
As I said before, most of this anti-vax stuff was inserted into the article since 2016, by a succession of accounts who did little else. Socks. Last month Tzaquiel tried to clean it up, and was screamed at for his/her "trouble". See Tzakiel's talkpage and check the history of Woko Sapien. Probably a Cirt or Jytdog sock though it could belong to any of a hundred other skeptic extremists. Also:

If it was truly Wikipedia, they would all be white, no women (except for trans "women"), and 350 lbs+.

They can't have actually diversity, so they just make up new identities and assign to themselves. Then Fox News crazies go on about how they kill 80 million Americans per year. I love our political system.

It was editwarred, and censored, and swiftly archived. Cullen's comment is long gone, with no evidence it ever existed.
